acres this land all lies in the first bottom
Of the Missouri river and is as beautiful
a tract as can be found in the state.
Along the river front for more han a
mile is Il beautiful park thickly studded
with cottunWoods. box elders and will
lows. as well as many smaller varieties of
trees and shrubs. This park has recent

now a vcritablc beauty spot, %uEquestion-

portion Of this park will be dedicated to
the public 10y the owners OF the townslte.
The river al this point is as broad and
beautiful as Broadwatcr bay, There are
two islands directly opposite the town

the broad valley of the Missouri, skirted
with timber along its banks, make the
prospect a glorious one. 1t would be
difficult to find any where a more desir-
