A rich and largely unoccupied
country lying in Northern Nebraska,
for hundreds of miles along the Dakota
line, and extending through several
tiers Of counties back from Il, is invit-
ing the enterprising settler from the
East to come In and till the soil.
Nothing finer in the way Of q promis-
ing agricultural field Is to be found
anywhere. The soil is extremely fer
tile, the climate pleasant in summer,
and not too rigorous In winter, and
facilities for marketing products be-
coming better and better all the time.
Into this region there has been q
steady stream of immigration pouring
for the past two years, which may now
be said to be at its height The char
acter of this population is the same
as of the best agricultural communities
OF Illinois or Ohio. In fact, it is from
these and their adjoining States that
this increase of population in the region
described is mainly derived. Whole
colonies from these older Western
States go bodily into this garden of the
Missouri Valley and locate their pos
sessions.
for the purpose, since the railroad
which has been pushed forward through
this fertile land has now penetrated to
the town of Valentine, to which point
it is in regular operation, while the
grading has been done one hundred
miles beyond, and still beyond one
hundred and fifty miles more are under
contract. In Northwestern Nebraska
the road is to turn northward, passing
through the Dakota counties of Fall
River, Custer, and Pennington, to Rapid
City, in the mining country.
Through the entire region traversed
by this railroad, finished and projected,
towns are springing up in that almost
magical fashion which is characteristic
of Western railroad development. The
population is increasing in the same
manner, and homes, stores, schools, and
churches are going up on every hand.
This is the place for the printer who
wishes to do something for himself.
The people who are going in are a read
ing people. They have been accus-
toned to those necessities of civiliza-
ton, the school, the church, and the
newspaper, and they are prepared to
welcome and encourage the man who
comes among them to give them either.
The printer who has toiled for years
in an older community, getting little or
nothing ahead of the point reached long
ago, goes in with the tide, and is soon
found enlarging the first plant, increas-
ing the size of the first paper, and like
ly enough starting another in the new
town close 10y. 6hrewd Horace Gree

OF all sounds, the howl of o dog is
the most dismal. Dogs, although frol-
icsome by nature, are subjected to fits
of melancholy. At such times they are
acquainted with grief, and regardless of
o good appetite and superb digestion,
q hound will leave choice selection of
dead horse, stand on knoll where
moonbeams fall upon him and howl un-
til a person unacquainted with his hab-
its would think he was pouring out the
last wailings of mashed soul. When
brindle dog bowls, it is sign that a
tall man with dark hair and ebon sedi-
ment under the finger nails is going to
die disagreeable and unsolicited death I;
but if yellow dog opens in high note
vocalization, the fat man with a per-
ceptible impediment in his locomotion
is in danger. just before the late war,
it was observed that the unemployed
dogs of the country did great deal of
bowling; and it was afterward observed
that quite number of men had died.
If there be an animal that deserves un-
conditional determination, it is the
bowling dog.-ArkdnsdtO Traveller.
