The Emigration to the West.

Commissioner Williamson, OF the General
Land Office, has prepared comparative state
mcnt of the disposal Of public lands curing
the fiscal years ending June 30, 1877, and June
30, 1878, which shows general movement
westward during the past year from regions
oft the East The statement is prepared from
the records in his Office and Is valuableat TINS
time In nearly all the prominent Eastern
cities societies of emigration have been en-
gagged in forming colonies from among me
Chanlcs and unemployed labores with Il view
of settling them by companies or colonies on
the rich lands of the West, and thus relieving
the cities of their superfluous and idle popu.
lation. As commissioner Williamson says, all
this is certainly the good that has come from
the evil of hard times The mechanics in
stead of sitting down to grOan over the dull
ness of business prospects, have packed up
their families and gone where work Will bring
an honest return.
Taking Dakota, Kansas, Minnesota, and Ne
braska, the comparative statement OF the DIS
posal of lands during the above period shows
how vastly the emigration has increased Lands
are disposed of by cash purchase, by home
stead settlement, for timber culture, ana by
warrant and scrip locatlon,-tour different
methods and the records OF each are pre-
served separately in the archives OF the Gen

The table shows an increase OF l,24j, ~
acres in one fiscal year. The same hgurlhg
for Kansas shows an increase OF l,3o6, acres
for Minnesota, 76l 1856 acres, and for Nebraska
1868 PCS acres, making grand t0tal IN lhese
tour localities alone of 3,I24, 5,2acres reports
show that this business is going on, and that
the settlers are doing well. The colonies that
went to Kansas and Dakota from New York,
through the lnstrumentaity OF john kelly,
about 1 900 strong, and those that went IRON
Baltimore and Philadelphia, Indianapolis ana
Boston, are prospcring beyond their eXpecta
tons.
The above states have been selected prlnci.
pally because the proportion OF farm ana I'M
| Der land is greater than in other OF the Yves
tern States. Nebraska, having 49OOO0OO acres
can show ONLY about 100000 acres OF forest
| land Places that were recently covered by
dense forests are now almost naked, because OF
the disastrous fires This leaves the land open
for settlement Missouri, with %, 100000 acres
has fully 100000 acres of timber land MOI
more than six per cent. of the area OF Kansas
is in forest land, and this is mainlyln the east
ern part of the state and along the banks OF
the rivers Efforts are being made in Kansas
and Nebraska to restore the growth OF trees
and i'm some cases good success has attended
the movement Arkansas is highly gifted IL
the way of forests. She has 2OOOO,OOO acres %
timber out of her 80, 100000 acres, while only
a tenth of Colorado is for land.
