Il territorial exchange truthfully says
that if present indications are to be relied
upon, the early spring will witness one
Of the most remarkable migrations Of the
century. Evety state, every county and
nearly every town east OF the Mississippi
Rlll furnish its quota of men for the
gfand army Of emigration that has. al
ready sent out It's advance couriers to spy
ont the land. A few years ago Kansas
md Nebraska we're the objective points
to which the march OF emigration was
directed. The broad prairles and fertile
valleys of Dakota were unknown, and
,hpmigration had pictured wild desert
country habitable only to wild beasts and
still wilder men. The few hardy pio-
neers that lad settled within her borders
gave glowing descriptions of the balmi.
ness Of the climate and the wonderful fer
tlity OF her soil, but to these accounts
ene over wise people of the east gave lit
de credence, reasoning that if the north
ern portion of the eastern states had such
Arigorous climate and sterile soil, Dako-
ia must be colder and more sterile, but
the developments of the last few years
have most effectually changed all that,
and now Dakota is looked to with. long
ing eyes by the over-crowded speople Of
The east, and inspired by the glowing ac-
counts of friends who are already in the
.promised land, they are coming. Every
available means and route will be
crowded to the utmost to accommodate
de thousands who are only waiting for
the opening Of spring to begin the march
The question naturally arises in the
minds of many "what has Dakota to offer
to the settlery" Everything that any
country can offer is placed before the
people here. Rich farming lands that
have been awaiting the settler for untold
centuries cah be had for the asking; all
.that is required in return is that the set.
Uer shall make the free gift of the gov
eminent his home.
"A climate that is much less rigorous
than that of the eastern states in the same
latitude and from the dryness of the
atmosphere absolutely free from malaria
Of contagious diseases. |
A soil that will grow every variety OF
farm production that can be produced in.
my of the eastern states, in fact tits much
easier to name the things which will not
grow than to name the things that are
.raised in abundance. There is not
single thing that can be said with truth
fitness aga,nst*this country. !
The great railroad corporations of the
northwest are pushing their lines in every
direction through the territory attording
che best of facilities for marketing grain:
The companies are neither of them land
kraut companies but are building the
roads as y legitimate business venture,
With an eye to the future importance OF
the territory as farming section. j,@srI
Thriving towns are springing up all
oyer the country, m any of them being so
located that of necessity they must be in
time large and important cities. Business
chances are as numerous as the most ex.
acting could desire, and on every hand
enterprise and thrift are observed. There
ere thousands of acres of the best farming
lands in the world still unoccupied and
only waiting for settlement and cultivar
non to make them as valu able as any
farm lands in the Union. Let the grand !
a1ny come on, theve is room for them all.
