Iowa mid Net r.iskn are, ns most of your
renders know, prairie States; but jou nm
not lo infer I lint they nro level. On tlm
eontriiiy, Ihey nre beautifully rolling, ,(
in Some instanres, may bn called hilly.
Tim soil is exceedingly rich, nnd I never
saw such crops of coi n, w heat, iml a, po
tatoes and Harden vegetables as thi i.j now
safely harvested r maturing in ll c Stnto
of Iown. Timber is jilenly lill you eonm
within 0110 hu'elied miles of the Missouri
river, nnd it then prows more aenrco as
j oil proceed westward. Or. inanyof tho
streams in Nebraska, there fire groves of
timber, and sonic yood stone ijunri ier; but
eoul and timber me scarce, met (hey must
be sparinv-ly uod HtiUi ruilrcuds ran Im
iniidd to transport them into tlm com. try.

this place, the black, sandy Itoil is inex
hniistible. Soinn .f lli Jj Indian field

cors, ore now j-rodiieiu belter corn thun

I b:i e only explored N'ebrnska, west of tho
.Missouri twenty or thirty miles; but from
nil I ctin learn, the pood Roil gradually be
comes too sandy, ns 011 proceed west of
one hundred miles. Tin; bust part of Ne
braska and Kansas is within one hundred
miles of tho Missouri; but on streams ami
elsewhere, there is pood land throughout
the whole territory which enU.-uds west
of the Missouri river several hundred
miles.
The Missouri river, on the enst side of
the territory, is li e only navigable stream,
and it can be relied on as a cheap mode, of
eonvevMicu from May till September.
There is waler for nil seasons; but tha
preat number of snns render il unsafe nt
all times, nnd quite useless nt low stapes.
The l'latte river is the prcat east and west
drain, running centrally through Nebras.
ka. It is a wide Jl.it sheet of water,
rimtiiiur over a sandy shifting bottom, with
11 fall of four or live feet, to the milo.
On the wide, solid, sandy bottom of this
river, tho best emigrant road in the world
is annually traversed by the IhousanJs
w ho go ovcrl.unl to Ciilifornirt nnd tho
Salt hake; and here it is that u railroad
can be constructed cheaper, so far as grad
ing is concerned, (ban in any sccti' n of
