The Michigan Daily, the Daily Califor-

In turn serve It.
The welfare and fame OF Hall county Is
very closely associated with the prosperity
and pride OF Grand Island. With the
progressive record of the city the develop
ment' OF the adjacent and contributory ter
ritory will keep pace. IL Is indeed the ad-
jacent development which city progress be
speaks; and It is that upon which the city
progress depends. The building up OF the
surrounding couutry is the most important
and gratifying feature Of all.
Every family brought into the county,
every farm improved and every institution
established, whether It be a creamery or
foundry. the raising OF beets or FLOODED
stock, adds just that much to the business
resources Of the county. One prosperous
family on a little farm is worth more to
Grand Island and to the county than a
tralnload Of tourists travelling through the
county. And the factory and manufactur-
ing plant employing twenty-five or fifty
men and using the raw material OF the
valley is a growing asset, a continuous rev.
enue producer. Labor is one Of the prime
factors in all the development, and the
community that can supply intelligent and
GoiN'4lN'N ldbOl mas al asset u great Ndlut.
1t was the Germans that discovered Hall
county. And its discovery and development
came not by chance. To subdue the prairie
has taken the rude surgery OF the rougher
fibers. Hall county has been the battle
ground OF strong men with nature.
In the spring Of 1857 as soon as there was
grass for the teams the future settlers Of
Grand Island started from Des Molnes, Ia.
Nebraska at that time was a very new
territory, with less than 10000 people scat
tered along the Missouri river. This party
reached Omaha on June Is, and found a
little city three years old with less than
1900 people. A few settlers had at the time
gone into the Platte valley and had crossed
the Loup river about eighty miles west
of Omaha. Every four or five miles a house
was found, some with canvass roofs or
otherwise unfinished. Fremont and Column
bus each consisting Of about a dozen block
houses.
From Columbus this party journeyed
about sixty miles farther west until they
came to Wood river. Just west of this point
and opposite a large island in the Platte
called Grand Island, the new settlement
was located July 4, 1857. The party con.
