This State, which In territory is about as

the population is rapidly increasing, and

OF its production for the year now closing.
These productions In small grain and corn
are stated to be from 50 to 30 million bush

dy, mighty stream about two Thousand
feet broad. The extent of the valley of
the Platte. on the North side varies from
three to six miles in width, aud upon this
level bottom the towns on the u. =. X. r.,
are located. The lands on the bottom have
been passed over. for the better lands on
the bluffs and table, still they are sufiic-
iently rich to cause the average Eastern
man to wonder why the Almighty has not
sent more OF his "chosen people" to culti-
to deve and pick on the side Of some cast
iron hill in Maine or New Hampshire.
Through the south side Of the town,
passes the old overland road to Pixies
Peak" and California. and near the town
East or West, can be seen some OF the IA
nous ranches Of the golden days of ''over-
land" travel. In the wild days OF the past
this was the border line between the Paw
nee and Sioux tribes. and they have always
been deadly enemies; hence these places
were always sought as shelter at night,
by the pioneers who felt unsafe elsewhere
over night. Most OF these ranches have be-
come The quiet abodes Of farmers. and
many have fallen into new hands Here
We can see the wonderful changes which
are taking place In our country. The tide
OF immigration rests not here but presses
on toward the mountains. in search OF hid
den treasure. Now and then company
hslts to try their fortune, until we have a
town OF 100 people with good schools,
pleasant churches and Kind neighbors,
which are agreeable features Of our new
home The county Is fully settled. and
VIC are in the midst OF a fine farming coun-
try equal to any to be found.
Having been the sole representative OF
Hancock County In this vicinity, Tor over
live years, have recently had the pleas
