the MISSOURI SLOPE.

No matter what tae finale OF this pres
ent national crisis Of ours may be-says the
South Western Ioudn, and all having
knowledge Of the f.cts enumerated below,
must concede its tnth-be it for veal or
woe to the country it cannot stultify the
prosperity Of the Missouri Slope-there can
be no waning it; its financial glory, 50 long
as the gold mines Of California and the
country to the westward Of here--known as
Pixies Peak-continue, as they will, to At
tract ycsrly their thousands thithcr; grain
must be grown for the emigration supply ;
hogs must be raised and all the necessaries
must be furnished from the Missouri Slope
for the tens Of thousands accumulating in
the latter region, not only for the present,
but large amount Of the prospective popu-
la,ion; which must afford remuneration for
the constant cultivation not only of all the
present titled but all The tillable land along
this luxurious valley Of the Missouri,
Occasionally We hear an old farmer, one
who probably has to;led from poverty into
a comfortable ompc,ence-oiferinga at q low
Price the substance Of his hard toll, expect.
ing if sale is made to seek some more
comfortable homo where "hard times" is
unknown-bu. the truth is, he may travel
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from
the northern Lakes to the Gulf below and
will find rs little real "hard times and rs
cheup, rich, and desirable property, rs right
here on the Missouri Slope. We feel it less
here than elsexhere, simply because We have
the location, the soil and the resources to
enable Us to feel so. If our property i, not
worth as much to-day as VIC expected it I"
be three, or four or Eve years ago, It is still
more valuable than many Of our neighbor's
land in adjacent States.
There Is a vast resource yet undeveloped
along the Missouri Slope that the fuctus
ton Of our national affairs cannot retard-
the star Of our destiny is in the Ascendant,
and so long as our soil is the richest on the
face o: the globe and the mining region Of
the immediate west but in its infancy Of
successful development, not farmer,
stock. raiser. mechanic or Industrious man
Of any kind need fear for the future. 1t is
full of hope. Let US be up and doing for
the harvest. Let tho press and the people
Of the Slope, cease croakins over the pres
en-, unfortunate affairs Of our country and
