ing or a large SCALE suffering most
by American competition. These
gentlemen farmers are not well fit to
the usual American farming; but
otherwise with the occupations out
here west, with the wheat farming
in Northern Dakota and not less
with the cattle business here in the
south of the territory. AT present
the workinmen and the peasant-far-
mers in the old countries are Glu-
mencing pretty well To anlers taAd,
especially by letters from friends
and family, to Which extent the
States are giving them independence,
on The whole better conditions for
themselves and their families. If
the higher class Of farmers knew the
attractions of the ranches, the profit,
the exciting life, the freedom In the
west, at the aaiI2e time . good peace
able northegn population, also they
would bring ability and capital to
this country. They Wouid not be
more inexperienced than most OF
the gentlemen now engaging in this
business; In some respects they
| would rather be better informed
than most Of the American newc>m-
ers. Ten thousand dollars are suf
ticient to commence stock-raising on
a large scale; | see even gentlemen
begin with five thousand; that much

and other accommodations, as IN
this climate and far western society,
living costs pretty nearly nothing.
The same capital we could only buy
a small peasant farm. Next spring
there will be- an cillux OF enigrants
from the old countries never seen
before. | would like also TO see III
that q sprinklng Of the upper class.

ANOTHER BOOM.
Elk Point Secures n steam
Ferry Across the Missouri,
and will get Nebraska
Trade.

1t has been an earnest wish ofElk
Point business mel for some years
to get hold of the trade of northern
Dixon county in Nebraska, but the
Missouri river has been a bad. bar
rier, and a lack of sufficient and
safe ferriage has kept that trade
from this point. During the win
ter seasons when the river was fro
gel over, this city has generally got
a large trade from that section, but
as such seasons are generally quite
short the people of northern Dixon
county had to look elsewhere the
balance of the year for markets. 1t
has been their wish to come here,
but as already stated they could
only come when the ice was safe.
Our business men realizing the
necessity of getting the trade Of our
Dixon county friends, began looking
around some weeks ago for a ferry
capable Of carrying all who wished
to cross the river, and through earn
est efforts, succeeded in securing a
new steam ferry, which win be put
in about three miles south of this
city, near where N. j. Wallace re-
sides. The boat was built new by
Samuel Henderson, this season, at
Springfield, and will do her first
work near this city, in less than ten
days from this date.
But to obtain the ferry, our bust
ness men have had to shoulder a
large expense. They have agreed
to pay Mr.. Henderson $50 per
month in order to get the cost of
transportation down to twenty-five
cents for round trip, which makes it
nominally q free ferry, The NOV
ers in the matter are Il best bust
ness men, and when such men as
Sheafe. Freeman Bros, Beggs, Hofi-
man, Seville & Muhes, Buddie, Yer
ter, Drubacher, Dewitt, Murphy,
Talcott, Percivall and others take
hold of an enterprise, it is bound to
go ahead and succeed.
As Elk Point is now situated it
must prosper. Our railroad facil-
tiles are not excelled in the west,
and wheat, and all kinds of produce
will find this q first class market, at
prices in advance Of what will be
paid at any other market near by.
The COURIER not only ~rejoices at
the grand prospects for this city, but
wishes to compliment our enter
prising business men for the har-
mony and public spirit they are
showing. With such a spirit, this
city will grow and prosper.

THERE was an uncallel for advan-
tage taken of the voters OF Prairie
township by the board which
does not serve them right. BY some
hook or crook, and that, too, through
the advice Of a politician the
election is placed at one edge of
the township, thus Compelling some
Of the voters to go over nine miles.
There is much dissatisfaction over
the matter, and we do not blame
the majority Of Republicans OF
Prairie township for feeling out OF
humor.
