Room for Immigration.

With advancing spring the railroad
companies of the West are preparing
for the immigration of 1885, which
bids fair to assume enormous proper
tions. The question naturally arises in
the minds of those unacquainted with
the country as to where so many peo-
pie are to find settlement. Years ago
the alarm was sounded that the availa-
BILE limits of the great West had been
reached, that the agricultural lands
were about all taken, and that all that
only as uncertain grazing grounds for
the venturesome herder and shepherd.
But the settler has kept steadily en-
croaching upon the boundaries of this
vast region until he has finally pushed
his corn and wheat fields into the very
center Of the mythical Great American
Desert, exploding the theories of the
explorer and spelling the map of the
geography.
The Government lands of Dakota
have been rapidly disappearing until
all Of the free lands south of the forty
sixth parallel are for the most part con-
fined to the counties of Campbell, Nc
Pherson, Walworth, Potter, and the
recently opened Grow Greek Reserva-
ton. These comprise some of the
finest and most productive lands to be
found in the great valley of the Mis-
souri,, and the present season will no
doubt see the entry of the last availa-
BILE acre in South Dakota, lying east
of the Missouri River. However, this
homes for the poor. The Mouse River
District in the north is in itself State
in extent of territory, of wheat lands
excelled by neither the Red nor the
Jim River valleys, while in the Black
Hills region are to be found some of the
most fertile valleys in the whole West.
Northwestern Nebraska, which is
best reached by the Sioux City and
Pacific Railroad, is the latest scope of
country opened to settlement by rail-
way construction, and the indications
are that within the coming eighteen
months but little of the Government
lands in that part of the State will re-
main unclaimed But it is many miles
from the Wyoming line to the noun
tains beyond, and so long as the free
lands of the Government domain prove
to be productive so long will settlers,
in thousands, continue to flock to this
rich and fertile section of the West.
