Webster 0:unt7 CcnSetsei WchMerCcNeb., lies in the Valley ol the Republican, ii 150 mile west of the Mis souri River and touches the State line on the South. Whiter are mild and dry: very little rain or snow falls in that neaeon so lit tle in fact that cattle live all winter with no hay or ruin. Plenty of rain fulls in the spring and summer. The summers are not diraffreeably warm, ns there i always a cool btveze especially in the evenings. The county first began to se:tle in 1S70. I" 1871 the county was organized with a population oN5. Its population is now between iiOO and 3(00 and is rapidly increasing. There are at present 38 organised school districts within iU boundrics and .school facilities aro thfreforu ample better than those in some Kastcrn States. The apportionablo school fund furnichc nearly enough money to pay teachers' wages, Farmers can buy R. R. land from Sl.M to ?G per acre with ten years time. There i yet a considerable amoust of frtvcranieiit lauds for horneftoadt and pre emptions. As a tock rai'ing country it is hird oexecl. Cattle do well, and for sheep i: cannot be beaten. It is just suited to that. F.trtmcs win bo easily made byraisins sheep ph the expense of feed line is very small. Thit corn. iats.-barley, potatoes, buck wheat, nud all kinds of roots an ( vegetables, arc grown bereuvith little labor. 33 bushels ofsod corn to tin- acre is n.thiuK new. Wheat averages fil.'(ufi"v bushels to the acre. Fruit doc ex trciuuly wclT. Every fanner has his orchard growing. Forest trees crow rapidly. Cotton wood, boxnldcr. whitewood. solt maple, and many other Kin Js of troes grow into timber large euouch fr fuel in about Jthrco years, esq, oransu plantsdo i ieely. and iu a few ir your live fences can be made. Me chuuics find employment und fairwagca. The very bct and pure;t water is obtained by going from f to 100 feet. The cost is very (null when the well is borod. These wells never go dry. The streams of tilib county aro the Republican and its tributaries, which are u follows- on the south side of the river. iVulnut, Dry. Buffalo. Stato Peony, Cdar. Llicks.Afch. and (Juido Hock crock. On tho north sid aro Willow. Elm. Cottonwood. Crooked. Indian, and Farmers creeks. Iu the north part of the county U the Blue river and its tributaries. The soil of Webster county is a dark, rich TtgnUblo loam. Tho wild grasses are nutri tious and abundant, and make mof-t excel lent bay- riinotby.clover. Hungarian and millet will undoubtedly provo a profitable produc tion. Those wHo have tricdthcm so decide at ie.ist. Our railroad prospects arts good, and we will have i road ns soon as we really need one. But the farmers for years will find ready sale .or surplus productions in the newer counties west and to new settlers, By the time these markets are closed mads for cheaper transportation east will be opened. Our climate is healthful, the air pure and bracing. and sickness of any kind is almost a stranger to tho people h".re. The county seat. RED CLOUD on the Re publican river, near the center east and west &id a little south of the center north and south. In it are chances for business men of everj" branch of trade. The country around i surh as to wan ant a good bu:nss in every kind of merchandise. Red Cloud and Guide i-tick aro the only two laid out towns. Fur ther information can bo obtained from any land agent wlu advertises ia this paper, or at this office. As will ba seen in another column, the citizens of Ked Cloud were called tsether to receive a- proposition- from ' piuie Rcntlemcn of Beatrice represent irg the interests of an embryo Rail road Organization. Their proposition was to the effect that two men should be chosen at once by; the-citizens pres ent as incorporators of a narrow-gauge railway corporation, for the purpose of constructing a road from Beatrice to Denver, and bonds to tho extent of thirty five thousand dollars will be asked fioui this county to aid the pro ject. Considerable interest was mani fcsUd by our citizens. If the company means Business wc are in for the road. 15 ut if we are to be turned over to tho tender mercies of some eastern com :my or even to the company that now ownes so much land in our county, the proposition will not meet with so much favor. Tha tentlemen went west to ascertain what could be done in the counties farther op the valley. The latest and best news is that we are likely to have a railway from Be atrice westward along the Republican river valley to Denver. Senator Pad dock is the prime mover in the under taking; and he is supported by the B & M. railway company and a large "dumber of interested parties. A com pany has been organised to pioneer tho. road ; and a letter was snowo to us a ft w days ago ia wbieh a promise waa made that a committee- of gentlemen aepresentiof the ew company would Ttryrfiortly visit tU Republican val ley and caf.r witk owr people..

Al wrf trerr cRiiea of Oe jow favor'of aiding a rrailway instead of waiting five years for one to built without aid ; but our men have been out wc.t long et'Ouh to look where they bti p. News. Too much cannot be said; in com mendation of I he proposed narrow gauge railroad from Beatrice to Den vcr city. Such a n.ad has something tangible about it, and fctrike farmers favorably. NoMebraska farmer haa thought of the long Hues of roads Btr tching a thousand miles ea-twurd as the only avenue to carry off their surplus products without a feeling of despondency seizing them, and muny a farmer in G.ige County has in imag ination ptctutci a line of railroad from hero to the vast mining districts of the llocky iMountainv, and felt that Ne bmka hould iusnms way furni-h her full hare of these products by liue of r ad where there is competiun suih cient to make a lo'.v tariff' in tran-spor-tion, not only a probability but almost a certainty. While wo do not lead our leaden? off on some imaginary specula tion iu raihoad cnterprucj, and while wc ourselves do not propose to become titiduly excited upon this Mihject. in the first place, we call the attention of the citiz;n of Gage County to a few facts which arc plain to all and unde niable by any one. Our situation is a strange oite indeed. In the heart of the best ngrieultural district in the tate, with almost always a iHmtitifu eurplus for expuitation, we find our selves with but one line of railroad, or a most complete monopoly staring us in the face, where the moat exhorbi tant rates are charged, both for expor tation and importation. A cur&ory view of this matter will te!l who. suffers for surely the grain buyer must have his margin above f eights, and the merchant his profit above co.'tand car riage. Then certain jt is that the far mer who cxpoits and tho consumer who uses imported goods, are the ones who sutLr. Wc presume it wiil uot be disputed then, that all our citizens in common suffer. We would now call the especial atteution of all to the situ ation of Gage county as regards rail roads In the north part of the county the A & N. and tho solitary line of the B. & M. from Crete down, with a proposed line from Crete to intersect the A. & N. at Firth. With no pro bability of any more roads east, and uot the greatest for one in any other direction, certainly not without the proper effort on the part of out citizens. Then, if effort is essential, and we pre sume none will dispute it, it is a ques tion of vast importance to us in which direction we make the effort. We would certainly make it where the most bonefit can be derived ; where this effort, whether it be in bonds or a persistence. Then we are brought back to the contemplation of our best interests. The shortest route to a de mand for our surplus impresses every candid mind as what wc should by ail means seek. For where there is a de mand for our products we need not fear but that prices will keep pace. Our eieB do not turn to the east, for the metropolis is far away upon the shores 9 the Atlantic. The Pacific coast has tho eame objection, with higher rates for want of competition. The Gulf offers at present but few in ducements. Theft where shall we di rect our attentioti ? To the great non producing mining district of the Kocky Mountains. The New England of America, with mines of inexhaustab e wealth, and destined ut no distant day to be a most populous country. Cap italists are pushing the great mining industry and developing the rich re sources of that district. By a line of road which will connect us with that .country. We can enter into a brisk competition for the supply of the nnn produccs.' We can, in return, get gold, yes gold that magic metal whioh transform- abject want into plenty. But we can also get coal, iron and lead ore. Then we contemplate a railroad from Gage county to Denver city, Col orado. In the building of this road, what else may we hope to gain A roadesst, a road south, a road either up Indian erf ek to Lincoln or a road to intersect the A. & N. at Firth Will railroads diverging from the cen tre, wo will say Beatrice, be of any benefit to those parties which our present position oppresses. An insane man would say, yes. The citizens of Gage county would then be in connec tion with all the markets, and could .snip east, west, north, or sautlu The.-e are not speculative ideas, but are sus ceptible xif a demonstration that is truly astonishing to any one who has never given the question serious thought In the next issue of the Courier we will try to prove that a narrow-guage road from Gage county toBeuver City will compel the other?, with what statistics we can gather con cerning the narrow-guage system.

Tho Chicago, Burlington & West ern na:rov gauge railroad, is the name of a new railway recently projected b3 prominent capitali-ts of Butiiut'in, Iowa. This toad, in connection with the already constructed Havana, Kan taul & Eastern railway, u intended to become a link in the proposed nurrdw gauge trunk line between the Mis-is-Mlipi river and the Atlantic seaboard. In Indiana and Ohio narrow gaue lines are also buildiug to connect with the Iowa uud Illinois system. The Burlington Jlatokege, referring to this important project, says: "This is emphatically a peoples' en terprise cheap transportation is the problem which can be practically and ellicienily solved by the people them selves by building narrow-gauge road-, uud owning aud operating such roadu them.selve-, aud keeping the tariff rates within reasonable bounds." If, as is now decidedly probable, the narrow-gauge trunk line between the Mississippi river and the great lakes shall be an accomplished fact within the next two years, will not enterpris ing capitalists, with au eye to profitable-investment, uudettake to complete the iiuk between the Missouri and Mississippi rivers within the next five years?
