TO THOSE COMING WEST.

By Chas. L. Boyd

Time is short, and we have none to waste. I would not say a word to encourage a moving, discontented spirit; but some are coming West. I have been in most parts of Nebraska except the extreme western part. The valley formed by the Republican River and its numerous tributaries, presents many advantages not found elsewhere in the State. The climate is remarkably healthful, the soil rich, water easily obtained, there is considerable timber and cheap lands, some being still open to homestead entry. All this “with perplexity” arising from uncertainty of crops on account of droughts, grasshopper raids, and the destruction of vegetation by numerous other insects.
Information may be obtained by corresponding with Dr. J. S. Hoyt, Orleans, Harlan Co., Neb.; Myron Jenkins, Lynden, Furnas Co.; or Wm. Copsy, New Erie, Furnas Co., Neb. In calling for a reply from those not interested in the correspondence, justice and courtesy say, “Inclose stamp or postal.”
