They are mor than pleased with this country. "'ie? stayed with me last night; this mom ing I took them to Dldsbury, and they went on north. When they coma back they are coming to my place and I am going to help them to run some-lines some-lines and they are going to locate la sight of my house. There have been, over 1,200 acres of land changed hands here In our neighborhood this spring When I located here last fall I was1 the furthest back of any of the set tiers; to-day I am in the center of the settlement. We have thirty-six chil ' dren that are of school age in our dls trict, and we will have our school dls-trict dls-trict organized next month, when we will proceed to build our schoolliouse. The longer we stay here the better w like the country; that is the way with everybody here, they all seem to be satisfied and doing well. I have talked with a great many men here and they told me that they had less than $50 when they got here, and today to-day they have got 160 acres of good' land and five or six hundred dollars'' worth of stock. Crops are looking fine here. I think this will be a good winter wheat country. One of my neighbors has a small piece and It looks fine." |
