of nearly two hundred families,
now located at York, and came
west for the purpose of investigat-
ing this portion of the territory
with the purpose in view OF settling
the entire colony here at some
future time. They like the coun-
try very much, and will endeavor
to obtain a tract of about 2O,OOO
acres under some of the proposed
bitches. If they are successful the

and locate in this vicinity. Every
effort should be made to locate
these people here, as they are an
