Gleaned from an Early Publication
The Tkiijune has in its possession a
copy of tho Red Willow Gazette a news
paper published in Nebraska City Feb
ruary 1872 by tho Republican Valley
Land Co with John Roberts as editor
and manager which with increasing
years becomes more and moro interest
ing and valuable
Tho Gazette opens with a prospectus
of the company and a description of the
Republican valley in general and what is
now Red Willow station in particular
Those named as associated in tho pro
ject to locate townsites etc are J N
Converse J F Kinney J II Madison
Royal Buck Brock Kinney Samuel Tate
B M Davenport E S Reed J V D
Patch J Sterling Morton Lathrop El
lis John Longnecker and V C Utley
The prospectus announces that an ex
ploring party started out in November
1871 to explore tho Republican river and
its tributaries and then proceeds with
quite a graphic account of what this par
ty saw after leaving Kearney the termi
nus of the Burlington Missouri R R
R in Nebraska about 130 miles west of
Nebraska City and proceeding south by
southwest overland in wagons
The party decided to locate a town at
the mouth of Red Willow creek and to
organize a county The Gazette has
this about the creek and selected town-
site
Red Willow creek at the mouth of
which the party located the town of Red
Willow is one of the largest tributaries
of the Republican from the northwest
and has its rise west and south of Fort
McPherson and is a stream probably
fully 50 miles or more in length with
more than an ordinary amount of timber
along its banks Near its mouth it flows
with a strong current with a fall of
about 16 feet to the mile the fall increas
ing as wo go farther up The water is
clear and good evidently made from
never failing Springs and of an average
width of 15 to 20 feet and about two
feet in depth Thus we have a power
for milling and manufacturing that is of
great value to a town and surrounding
country
Our townsite selection is on the sec
ond bottom or table with part of it ris
ing gradually still higher thus giving
us something of a variety and views that
overlook the whole country in the most
pleasing manner Besides this it is so
situated that water can be taken by
pipes from tho Red Willow but a short
distance up and brought into all parts
of the town
It was the unanimous voice of the
party that we call our town Red Wil
low and that we seek to organize a
county by the same name
Around this proposed site is to all
appearances a country of unsurpassed
beauty and excellence The valley wid
ens out here on both sides of the river
and dotted here and there in the dis
tance are groves and skirtings of timber
all seeming to converge to a noint near
our town South of this point about 10
or 12 miles is the valley of Beaver creek
with a beautiful plateau of tableland
between and it is evident that around
this may be organized a county of great
wealth and influence
The officers of the Republican Valley
Land Co are given as Royal Buck
president J Sterling Morton vice-president
B M Davenport secretary J V
D Patch treasurer The directors
were J N Converse John F Black
V C Utley John Roberts W W W
Jones Samuel Fate J H Madison
John Roberts was also named as general
superintendent
Besides a lengthy article on govern
ment lands copied from the State Emi
gration Pamphlet the Gazette con
tains a number of articles by men who
have left their impress on Nebraska
history
Here is a paragraph or two by General
C H VanWyck then a member of
congress from New York state giving a
roseate description of Otoe county
which would put to blush the most
highly imaginative land agent
And a two column address from the
pen of the late J Sterling Morton de
livered at tho meeting of the State Hor
ticultural society January 4th 1872
Then Robert W Furnas president
State Board of Agriculture is given
space for an announcement of special
premiums at the coming state fair
This circular is dated January 20th
1872 at Brownville
Thb Burlington time table as given in
the Gazette is signed by A E Touzalin
as general ticket agent C EPerkins
as general supt and E D Smith as

April Retires in a Blizzard
The rainstorm of Tuesday afternoon
developed into a snowstorm during Tues
day night and into a minor blizzard
Wednesday all day concluding on Wed
nesday night with a severe freeze which
conclusively settled the fruit question
if indeed any doubt existed before as to
the utter destruction of all fruit pros
pects
The storm was one of those extraordi
nary exhibitions of bad temper and
worse judgment on the part of the
weather clerk to which this clime is very
occasionally subject and it so happens
this season that the damage is unusually
large on account of the splendid promise
of a bountiful fruit harvest of all varie
ties perhaps the prospect has never
been equaled
The loss to fruit raisers and gardeners
will be severe while the gain to small
grain will bo large
Telephone and telegraph wires suffered
from the snow and sleet and service was
greatly impaired during Wednesday
Many poles weres broken down by the
weight of ice
For so late in the season perhaps so
general and severe a storm has not been
experienced in many years The total
damage over the western states will be
immense in the destruction of marvel
ous fruit prospects Trees and gardens
will soon revive A wholesale destruc
tion of flowers is a painful incident of the

that the authors first novel upon its
appearance a few years ago scored an
immediate and phemonenal success
