J. F. Ringlerwent over to the Platte
valley this morning with a party of
homeseekers.
F. E. Reddish returned the latter
part of the week from a business trip
to Des Moiue3, Iowa, and Joplin, Mo.
Mr. Reddish is of the opinion that
there will be a big immigration to tho
west in the near future. He says that
in the sections he visited a large
number of farmers were from Illinois
and are now beginning to wonder how
they are going to pay for the high
priced land on which they have made
only one or two payments.
R. B. Hamiltou was ' showing lands
to several homeseekers yesterday. The
prospective purchasers were from
Southern Iowa and are very favorably

age to homeseekers and the west. The
first and third Tuesday of each month

Box Butte county is all right and will
make loans on real estate. It has
been a number of year since much has
been loaned on western lands by east
ern parties and the fact of their
coming west again to do business is
conclusive evidence that they are no
longer afraid to invest their money
here.
