The Holt County sentinel., 1900-06-29

We would pruuaed nj onue 10 write of
the splendid commercial advantages of
Oregon, without ANY preliminary 10
marks, hut as We nave printed several
thousand copies of tins issue 1t Tim
SENTINEL, sou,e of which will probably
fall into possesslon Of those uot familiar
with general facts concerning this sec-
ton. We deem "a few remarks pertinent
along this line.
Without any ostontation OF fuss"
about it, citizens uf Northwest Missouri
have gradually been growing rich for the
last quarter century. Holt county hap
pens to enjoy position on that part Of
the map. The country with It's fertile
valleys, pralrtss, timber belts, springs,
streams aud favorable climatic coIdi
tious has been producing abundance Of
all Rrains, grasses, fruits, and vegetables
with no such thing known in our history
as a total failure OF all crops. With
these, this section Is the natural para
disc for stock, and cattle, hogs, horses,
mules, with sheep, poultry and all the
animal kingdom that thrives Oh plenty
OF wholesome food, water and air are
here in their highest forms of develop
Rsnt. Holt county, in short, Literally
supplies all home demands for the good
things Of life and annually ships thous-
Rnds Of dollars worth OF every kind Of
product to less fortunate localities OF
the country. The result has been con-
tinuous increase in wealth among the
people, ustil tsday, there Is probably no
political division in our wide national
domain in which the inhabitants as
rule are more healthy, prosperous, con-
tented and happy.
