New. from the Northern, Eastern,
W..t,n. Southern and interior coun-
ties confirms the statement that the
gates Of immigration are again opened
on the boundaries of Iowa, and the
people are coming hithcr TO locate
themselves, to build up homesteads for
themselves and their families.
The tide once set in motion, there is
no question as to the result The rush
OF four and five years ago will be inau-
gurated and perhaps superseded. From
what we are able 10 lea II from various
points and from our observation here, 1t
is almost a settled point In our mind
that the tide has already set III, and
that the time spoken Of and locked for
so anxiousy bv those who have wealth
cred the storm for the past three years,
is now dawning upon our beautiful State.
There have been abundant causes to
bring about this result, psoainent among
which is the splendid success with which
our agricultural population has met
during the past season. Through the
agency Of the enterprlsing newspaper
press Of Iowa the news of the immense
pIoductiveness Of our soil has been cir
culated into every corner Of the United
States and even beyond. 1t has been
seen that of all the Western States-of
all the States in the Union, there is no
soil which exceeds il in productlveness,
no soil which stands drouth 80 effect
ually,-nonc better adapted in every
point of view to the pursuits Of general
husbandry,-none which promises fair
er for agricultural superiority. Though
very dry one, and while the crops in
tre territories beyond which heretofore
have been attracting a large share of at
tenlon Of Eastern immigrants, have
been almost entirely cut off. Iowa. with
her deep soil, with her noble rolling
prairies, with her well watered, well
timbered territory, has brought forth a
crop, TIE like Of which before the old
est lnhabitant Of the State remembers
not Under this sult-under the
heavy crops aud brilliant prospects o.
our State has been buried all the autip
athy against, all the suspicious Of our
State, and acting upon their newly anc
properly formed opinions, the people 0
neighboring States, and of States NOR,
remote, are now looking and many ar.
moving towards our boundaries.
We welcome them Lere. and do i
with firm belief that it is a step which
they will never regret. Within GU
boundary lines there are thousands anC
hundreds of thousands Of acres of lane
through which the pow Las never run
which arc unsurpassed by any soil which
the sun ever shone upon. On these
lands-ln almost any section of the
State the farmer may settle, improve
and found home of which he will moi
fail to be proud.
The general health Of the inhabitants
of Iowa is remarkable. The mortality
bills represent less deaths than in any
other State of the same population
The climate is salubrious almost to 8
fault--in fact there is every reason in
the world why people looking for new
homes, looking to better their condi-
ton, should come to Iowa; none why
they should make preference of any
other States-at least so far AS natural
advantages are concerned.
Come along to Iowa aud make its
soil your home. You will never have
cause to regret it, but much reason to
be thankful that your better judgmen,
led you iuto such prosperous section
of the american continent
