to run road through our county for
the sum of $15C 900. The campaign
ended on the 10Th Of this month; we
had stumpers all over the county; we
are yet in hopes that bonds are de-
feated. The Commissioners decide
next Tuesday, and, unless there is
some fraud used, these bonds will be
defeated by about 200 majority.
We are having large emigration.
There have already been some 20 fam
lilies located here this spring, and vet
room for more; send them along.
We had quite an excitement few
days ago with q claim jumper, but we
jumped him off as quick as he jumped
on, and sent him on to another county,
where he jumped another claim with
20 acres broken. and we hope it may
be his last jump.
We have had some very nice
weather lately, and the farmers here
are most all through sowing wheat;
some were sowing to-day but had to
stop on account of snow storm.
The snow is at present two inches
deep. There has been some break
ing done this spring and several sod
houses built. The third day Of April
is our arbor day; the county that sets
out the most trees on that day gets
900 premium, and the farmer who
sets the most on his farm gets a a25
library, but if it stays as cold as it is
now there will not be MANY set out
that day. Our houses here are of a
variety from dug out to frame,
and some half-and- half. While com
ing from Lincoln one day this winter,
| camped on the bank of creek and
started to find one Of these dug out
dwellings, which | knew was some
where near, but it being dark | did
not find the house until fell over the
stove pipe, and then soon found
house, man, dogs and all retreated.
There are some very good frame
houses here now, and more building,
but lumber is very high, the
most Of US hunt our holes in the
ground and live in hopes Of having
better in the future. Our country is
watered by three streams-West
Blue, North Blue and Lincoln creeks.
! am located q miles from Lincoln
creek; there we have a Post Office,
store and blacksmith shop and have
fair prospects Of mill which we
stand in need Of very much, as
great many of us had to use coffee
mills this winter to grind our corn, as
il is - miles to mill, and the snow SO
deep that we could not get there part
Of the winter. Flour is worth at
York Center, 81 90 per hundred, corn
from 80 to 40 cents, potatoes 80 to 40
cents. We have one very large town
in York, inhabited by dogs, owls and
snakes. think that it is an incorpo-
rated city, at least man will want a
good pair Of boots on TO go there in
the spring; the dogs do great deal
of barking. and TIE snakes do some
rafting.
We have several church organiza-
tons in the county, but no churches
built. The Congregationalists build
one this spring. Mr.. Harrison was
out here a few weeks ago; he seems
TO be pushing things along in the old.
fashioned way. He breaches for lis
at Atkins Mills next Sunday week.

CNIvERsALIsT CHURcH.-The First

1t is to be located fronting on Sd stree,
between Cedar and Linn streets, on
ground donated for the purpose by Mr..
Jesse James from the rear Of the lots
on which his residence stands. The
dimensions Of the main building are

Our friend, by the aid of scientific com
putaton, soon made the fact apparent that
in one hour and eighteen minutes, it could
perform more digging, hoeing and raklng,
on the bar 1T the entry, than twenty-five
Swedes with picks, shovels, and wheelbar-
rows could possibly accomplish in thirteen
hours.
Through the politeness of the officers in
charge of our harbor works our reporter was
invited to accompany an expedition to the
entry, to test the capacity Of the new :" in
fernal machine" On arriving at the entry
we found that very formidable sbar had
been thrown up, composed Of sand and
gravel. We also found various deposits OF
rock which had evidently been brought
from the north shore, and been thrown III
the channel with malicious intent. These
however presented no obstacle whatever to
the machine, which worked like charm,
highly satisfactory to Col. Houston and the
officers accompanying the expedition.
Owing to the fact that we are just going

they will not wait another minute, we have
