There is~no crush Of Immigration this
spring but seldom day passes that we do
not see the "prairie schoon err" cruising in
search of an anchorage. Three or four
years ago the great mass of corners were
single men with speculative propensities,
now come the "Family men" looking for
homes for themselves and iappurtenances.
A sal utary change of affairs say we,-Chat-

These settlers are bound for the Sank
Valley, (Monongalia county, where they
sent an agent last year to hunt UP claims.
They are from Wisconsin, where they sold
their land, thus coming here with means.

of inducing thousands of other families to
settle in that rich valley-Minnesotiam d

formed that many settlers strike directly
across from the Mississippi to the Mime.
