EEIToR CHRONICLE:
Dear Sri subscribed for your wor-
thy paper last week, and as usual you sent
it the first pop. Thinking few words IN
regard to western Iowa might interest your
many readers, | concluded to write you
few lines, Small grain in this vicinity
is better than ever saw it. Farmers say
wheat will average 25 bushels per acre,
and oats go bushels per acre. Corn is
somewhat backward on account of cold
weather while we were planting, but il
has done some of the fastest growing
ever saw corn do anywhere. Farmers in
this locality are harvesting their barley
and will commence on wheat about the
25th. OF this month. This is orc of the
| finest counties in the State of Iowa,
think. The land is quite rolling, and il
may rain one day and the next We can
60 out and pillow without any trouble. In
regard to the the grasshoppers. some Of
the old fogies back there in Tama County
and vicinity think the hoppers holy ter
ror, but there are better crops raised here
| than there. 1t is true that the hoppert
deposited their eggs here last Fall and
| this Spring Matched out in countless mum
bers, but as soon as they got their wings
they ssskinned out" and are leaving every
| dav. so thew are not so bad, after all.

During recent visit to Chicago, we had
the pleasure Of stopping at the Matteson
House. 1t is a large, fine IIctel situated
on the corner of Wabash Avenue and
jackson Street it is comparatively new
having been built only five years. Its
rooms arc large, well ventilated and ele-
gantly furnished; its cuisine ranks with
the best hotels in the country: 1t is loca-
ted near enough tc the business part of the
city, SO person can walk-the distance
being Only from three to five blocks-to
all the principal stores, theatres, art gall
leries, &C., AMI yet, being situated on t e
Avenue, as it is, it is almost as much re-
tired as if located in the country. Street
cars pass the door, so if person does
not wish to walk they can step on car
and go to any part of the city. Its man
ayers exert themselves to make the guests
stay pleasant, and it is, in fact, first class
House; and to be first class in Chicago,
the city of palace hotels, is no small dis
tinction. With all its advantages and
recommendations its rates are very low
only So, so per day for board and room.

TRAER CORRESPONDENCE.

+
The first station west on the r. r. ex-
tension from Traer and about fifteen miles
TO the northwest is Reinbeck. The town
has been tic talk of many who want to
go into business. 1t has been considered
from the earliest inception that Grundy
Center like Traer would be greatly over
done in all classes of business, that rent,
insurance, taxes and lots would be high
and profits small, and ourpeoplc who de-
sn d to m W have fixed on Reinbcck. A
Tratr man who has not seen Reinbeck
was to be pitied, so on the 10th, inst,
went there, taking the north route
through Buckingham township, still north
into Black Hawk County, thence west
into Grundy to Reinbeck. After leaving
the valley Of Twelve Mile crock the
road is very smooth and the travel pleas
ant. The first thing that attracts atten-
ton is that this Is not new country. al
though since my residence here all the
country west and ncl.h of this creek was
subject TO entry. Nearly every acre is
in cultivation or being broke. The next
is the crops. The oldest inhabitant new
er saw such a good immediate prospect
for wheat, barley, oats and grass, an occa-
sional evidence of blight is seen but SO
slight as not to be deplored. The corn on
the whole may be called good. Some
spots where it runs into slough are thin
and small, but with our usual July and
August weather and no early frost the
corr crop will be satisfactory. I once
thought the north part of Tama County
the prcttiest land under the sun, butthat
portion of Grundy Center saw has moth
ing to discount. $500 ~
The village of Reinbeck is laid out on
a very pleasant piece Of land sloping TO
the North and West. The Railroad runs
along the extreme North side of the
village plat, with the elevators, coal,
and lumber yards on the South side
Of the track. To the North of the
track some three fourths of q mile dis.
lance is Black Hawk Creek, and about
one and half miles Northeast is Lusch
Grove, minus the grove. The principal
street thus far runs South up to the hill, mot
to steep for business but sufficient to keep
it dry and need little repairs. At present
there are some ten or dozen business
houses Of all kinds, with the prospect of
multitude that no man can number in

We see by the Cedar Rapids and Marion

ed to connect those two cities. As we un-
dcrstand it the boulevard or street is to be
about so feet wide and some miles long.
II will make i most beautiful and pleasant
drive, and is being worked up in earnest.
AT recent meeting of tie Board of Su-
pervisors m appropriation of $50, 900 was
voted to help construct the work. This
leads us 10 think that there is no reason
why tho citizens Of Toledo and Tama
City shouldn't unite and build them a
boulevard. too. 1t wouldn't cost such a
great amount, as the distance is quite
small. and nothing would add more to the
value 0f property in both towns and con-
duce 50 much towards the good feeling be-

stand the leading citizens Of both places
are in favor of such work and we would
suggest that something be done before
