migration which has been pouring stesdil
into the State for the past Ten years, III
tables are beginning TO have turnin:
and while the last named parts Of our CON
monwealth are not suffering by any mean
while the numbers coming into those sec
tons are greater in fact than at any previ
Gus period, the people OF the East ar
are aw, ming to the fact There is
happy lard in the nDrtf part Of th
State where the climate il ed, the soi
fertile, markets accessible nd railroad
upon every side. OF cur il not TO b
expected that northern northwestern
Kansas will
| SETTLE UP As FAST
as those other and more favored portions o.
the St-te towards the south ard west which
are being sd sr.ised to the extreme euds Of
the earth (fisuratively spesking). Not by
any means 10 say that the country up thi:
way hasn't been advertised; but where there
is one poster or circular sent out for nor h,
ern X snsss, there are a Thousand cent out
for southwestern; where one ian in the
| a thousand hear Of the counties of the
southwest, and it has been the case hereto
| fore that where one came TO the north vest,
a thousand went in the opp 'site direction.
This psrt Of the country, however, is about
to receive her iu-t dues, snd IN.
PROSPECTS AT THE PRESENT TINE
are that the inf * this year will be heavy.
Travelling in any direction, one comes across
train after train Of prairie schooners, and
herds If farm animals, and the bulk
Of this immigration il for the counties in
this region A general rule,
these emigrants bear evidence of educa-
ton and of more than ordinarily blest in
the matter of these worlds goods, and bring
sleek locking cattle and well bred horses
along with them The class Of emigration
comir into this s-clion is good, of The very
be-t quality, in fact, and while the people
up ,his way woIld rathsr see them coming
in larger hunters, they prefer the lesser
qusn,iry in preference to large numbers
and lesser quality.
