=. n. Tyler IN the Advantages
0f His Future Home.
From the Waverly, Iowa Repnblican


DeucLAss, July II, 1879.
For the first time in years I find
myself outside the lines Of Iowa and
the change is q most remarkable one
as | had began TO think that Bremen
county was all there was worthy t.
be an abiding place for man. But
when | see the growth and rapid de-
velopment ofthe Territory Of Dakota
it seems one Of the maryels Of mod
ern times. Only a few years ago it
was scarcely known by white men
and almost wholly occupied by In
dams. Now it is teeming under the
burden Of grain, but not enough to
supply the demand Of the emigra-
ton that Is fast pouring in. There
is no young State or Territory which
offers to the elnigrant such substan-
tial inducements as this and they
are fast finding it out. The tide OF
emigration is setting powerful in
this direction and it Is every day
gathering volume and force. 1t is
natural it should be SO. The fame
Of last years crop has gone forth and
the present movements the result
Think Of a territory hardly out of
the hands Of the Indians producing
in one season two million bushels Of
as pure wheat al was ever produced.
Grasp that fact and then call upon
your imagination to help you pre-
dict the future Of such q territory,
with millions Of acres Of fertile lands
never yet stirred by a pillow, and pos
sessing a climate unsurpassed for
salubrity. No wonder the people
wear such smiling countenances.
They are full Of hope. l have yet
to see the first respondent or gloomy
or respondent face. Melancholy
belongs to the crowded cities, and
there is plenty Of it in any city. 1t
is astonishing how many able-bodied
men should hang around large towns
doing nothing because they have
nothing to do, and nearly starving
tp death when these broad and fer
tile prairies are calling upon them
to come and release the treasures
that lie within the soil.
The resources of this Territory are
immense. 1t has every variety OF
wealth. There is no more produc-
tive soil in the world. There is no
region in this or any other country
that / know of, that is SO well water
ed, and the water everywhere is clear
and pure. 1t is a country Of spark
ling streams. If its advantages
were made known there would sure
~ be a great flow Of labor from the
cities and places where it is not
wanted, into q region like this, where
every variety Of labor is wanted and
where it is sure to meet with a rich
reward; as they win not troubled
with many Of the pests that older
settled countries are subject to, such
as the chintz bug, weavels and doc
tons and lawyers, nor have the court
house rats been seer by the Oldest
settlers, as yet.
Then young men, take Greely's
advice and Ego vest where you can
realize that you are a free American
citizen. This young territory will
be knocking at the door of the Union
ere another year, and then we in
tend to give at least 5000 majority
for the republican party.
