The Spring Emigratisn.

Those who are IN position to form
something like an accurate estimate. pre-
dict that there will be such an immense
emigration to the West. next Spring. as
has never before been witnessed in any
single year. They say that at least 500..
600 persons will cross the Missouri Riv
er. The emigration to the mining re-
gions will be very heavy; but out Of the
500 900. Kansas should receive at least
100000 as perm snent residents.
The question should be. with the peo.
pls Of this part Of the State. how to Sc
cure fair proportion Of this immense
influx. The country along the establish
ed lines Of railroad will GIL up rapidly.
The epolitlcians have denied Northern Kan
sas railroad. but Nature has supplied rs
with never-fsilipg thoroughfare Of trade
and travel, in the Missouri River. The
growth of this section will depend in .
great measure upon the efforts of the peo-
pie now here. The soil, climate. and
health are unequalled by any other part
of the State; timber, stone, water, and
every other necessary article. ere sbund-
ant; and the facts only require to be made
known. to induce settlers to stop with u.s.
These things can very easily be made
known. Nearly every one has scquaint
ances East. who desire to emigrate to the
West. Let him take the trouble to write
and inform them Of the wants and the
advantages of this locality. and be can
induce them to come. II he is acquaint-
cd with Q trsdesmsn whose business is
necessary in the community, let him in
form him of the fact, and invite him here.
There are men throughout the East own
ing machinery Of oil descriptions. who
are anxious to find locations in the West
for it. Inqnirs after such men. and in
vite them to come. 1t has been decided
that we must have Q Planning Mill, q
Woolan Factory. msuufactory Of Ag-
7licultural Implements, and number Of
other manufacturing establishments. next
season. They will all psy heavily. and
be Of ipcalculable benefit to the place. II
any one knows of persons desiring to 60
into any of the above kinds of business,
acquaint him with the facts at once
There is no end to efforts of this kind.
With our present rapid growth, all
branches of business are wanted. and no
honest. industrious man, who is master
of his profession, can come amiss. We
know few men in our community who
have been acting upon this principle. and
have already secured the emigration of q
large number of families. Let every one
do likewise, and there is not man but
can induce at least o dozen others to
come.
There is still another way. i you have
Q newspaper in your community, send
occasional copies to your friends-or. still
better. send the paper regulsrly-and let
them judge from its columns what sort Of
. country it is. They can judge Of the
intelligence of the people. by the kind of
. newspaper they support; and Of the
prosperity and business of the country.
by its local news and advertisements.
Do not consider that your subscribing for
pspsr, or advertising in it. is merely to
do your part in assisting some poor devil
of printer to make o living. for it is Q
wrong notion. 1t benefits you ss much
as him. You ana your community are
benefited in q hundred different ways
iha. you know not Of. Let your friends
abroad know what is doing here. and you
will find yourselves we'll paid for the
trouble.
Our town has awakened, this Fall. and
has made splendid push ahead. with Q
prospect Of continuing the work in the
Spring. Now is the time to insure sue
cess, BY making united push. while the
spirit is up, and everybody is in good
heart. Let every person who is able to
put mp house. build one. II he does
not need it for his own use. be can rent it
to some newcomer. and thus prevent per-
sons who want to settle here from being
turned away. If We had hundred new
houses to-day. before the holidays they
would all be filled. The investment will
pay. 1t is wrong idea that q house
huilt to rent is money wasted. By taking
care to rent to a responsible person. and
keeping an eye to your interests. there
will be no loss. And every new house
built in town. is a an additional encour,
agement for strangers to come in and
build, and an increase in the value of all
the property in town. Let every man
constitute himself Committee on Emi-
grafton. and follow the foregoing sugges.
tions. and if success does not follow
which be never dreamed Of, be may tell
us. at this time next year, that We iudulg-
cd in buneombe to deceive the people.
