DAKOTA's FUTURE,
The Curtain Raised and Views OF 500
IndulSed In.

The Curtain Raised and Views OF 500
IndulGed In.
Crowded immigration trains are now the
rule, and what is better the trains do not
seem half so we'll filled after leaving the
Sioux valley. The reason is clear, All
available public land west of US has been
taken, and now the man with money,
not desiring to invest his means in an un-
settled district, quietly alights as he reach
es the Dakota border, and buys Sioux
valley dirt. In speaking Of the unprece-
dented rush to Dakota one enthusiastic
writer wonders why Dakota hasn't mil
lion people already instead of half that
number. That question is answerable.
The reason is because the half-dozen trunk
lines, running over hundred trains
day, were unable last year to accommo-
date more than they did, consequently
thousands were compelled to postpone
their Dakora trip till this year. A firm
believer in the properties of Sioux valley
farms would Ike to know why people will
stay in the east when such advantages are
offered here. The emigration to Dakota
last year reached about 10000, but had
there not been 30 much skcpticism in the
east the emigration would have swelled to
halt million. But as people learn of the
merits Of Dakota, the immigration will
largely increase, and even this year it is
confidently expected that the new settlers
will reach over 100000 by the beginning
of 1885. 1t will continue to increase at
that rapid rate, and in 1890 we can throw
the curtain aside and show to the world
the grandest scene Of the age. We will
exhibit over 96,OO0,0 acres, with one
half under the plow; two millions of peo-
pie will content themselves within her
borders; hundreds of thousands who came
here this year will be independent; the
most perfect system of railroads in the
world will be in our state; fourishing
cities representing every known branch of
commerce and manufacture, will be here.
and the greatest wheat fields in the world
will bend in the Dakota breezes, while
big herds of cattle will feed in Dakota
meadows, and mammoth creameries will
work into gilt edged butter the cream of
the grasses.

your right one look steadily at tho cross
below, holding the paper ten or twelve
inches from the eye.
K O
Now move the paper slowly toward the
eye, which must keep on the cross. At
a certain distance the other fgure-the
letter O-will suddenly disappear; but if
you bring the paper nearer it will come
again into view You may not succeed
in the experiment on the first trial, but
with little patience you can hardly fail;
and the suddenness with which the black
spot vanishes and disappears is very strik-
ing.
