-The men operating the sawmills
should get action on themselves. The
new settlers need lumber and so far, are
unable to get it at the home mills.
Wuvt is the benefit of the timber if the
mills do not liuslle? '
, , Various new business enterprises are
being talked and as a natural result of
the increusp in' tho number of farmers
' there will lie an increase in the lines of
business represented. Prosperity in one
line means prosperity in all.

Miner to fit him out, and he was married

' Since a move has been made to send
' men east to work up settlers, the pas-
sender departmept of the railroad has
been flooded with applications for trans
portation by those who desired to make
" a visit east,". The epera pomenper

SETTLERS IUH.1JXU IX,
Xew People Coming lo Sioux ('omit y
I) j the Traiu Load, Car Load
and Matron Ixiad.
Never in the history of Sioux county
have homeseekers come in at the rate
they have arrived during the past week.
On Thursday C. W. Croudson arrived
from Illinois with a carload of goods, his
family and was accompanied by Peter
Zeigler, Miss Eflie Zeigler and Miss Nellie
Montgomery, who will each secure a
piece cf land and the two young ladies
will engage in the dressmaking business.
On Thursday the immigrant special
left Seward on the F. E. & II. V. and
notwithstanding a leaking engine be
tween Long Pine and Chndron, an aver
age run of nearly twenty miles an hour
was made, including stops. On this
train was J. it., V,. K. and H. J. Smiley
and their families, M. M. Underbill and
family, N. L. Tipton and family, O. J.
Martin and family, ('. B.' Underbill, C.
II. Unitt, W. F. Kitterlng, Cal Ureenlee
and C. J. Threadkill froiii Seward, and
also the families of O. B. Tinkhain,
Elmer Frew and John Wordeu from Oak.
On Sunday evening Wilnier and Frank
Phillips arrived with a carload of goods
and a man by the name of Rose came on
the same train with a car-load.. He will
locate on the table u few miles east of
Harrison, hut only shipped to Crawford.
On the arrival of tli newcomers at
Harrison the entire party was enter
tained by tho citizens. Supper and
breakfast were served at the' Harrison
House and stable room and feed for the
slock provided lo all at the expense of
the business men and citizens, and every
one did all they could do to make it
pleasant for the new settlers. i
The entire party is highly pleased with
the country here and the indications are
that it will lie but a short, time until
others will be here to spy out the land.
Tho veather has been pleasant and all
have been enabled to get settled in com
fortable quartei'3.
Those who -have, taken land wjll soon
build houses thereon and those who have
not taken land are looking , the country
over to select a location.
' Two or more car-loads are to cotne
fioin Seward within the next four weeks
and many intend to come , up to see the
country from various parts of tho state
in the near future. .. . . .:
Taken all in all it looks very much as
if Sioux county would be settled very
rapidly from. now on. The late arrivals
brought liuo large teams and good im
plements and some line -cattle and driv
ing horses and they have come here with
the intention of farming the same as
they did in the east, and there is no
question about their success. .. .
A stock buyer shipped out some
steers the first of the week for which he
paid $45 per head. ' - ,
160 acres adjoining Harrison for sale
at a burgaiu, if taken soon. ,
Simmons & Smiley.
Jerry Sourhier is fitting up his
homestead southeast of town and will
move his family thereon in a short lime.
The crop acreage in Sioux county
for 1893 will be a great deal larger than
ever before. That means increased busi
ness and increased prosperity.
; A cantata, "Mistress Marv and her
Flower Garden'' will be given at the M.
E. church for the benefit, of the L. T. L.
Friday evening, March 17. Admission 10
cents. , .
If you have friends who want to get
homesteads or cheap land, the best thing
you can do is to. tell them , to get here
as soon as possible. Good openings are
not going to le found very easily a little
later. ; ; , .
1 On account of the blizzard w hich
raged in the eastern part of the state on
Feb. 27th the Phillips boys could not
load their car in time to come on the
special, , As a consequence they did not
arrive until Sunday night. ;t -
amut wheat worth 'Jb cents per
bushels; clean wheat worth 45 cents peft
bushel; yield 20 bushels per acre. Five1
cents per acre in Blue Vitriol last spring
would have brought returns of $4.00 in
the selling pride per acre.

and family, Jack Martin and family, two
nf S. R. Phillips' sons, two of Morris

government ' land. ' They will have a
special train of ten cars, loaded with
stock, implements.

etc., with a coach
attached, and will follow the 138 pas

wishes of the Blade and a host of friends
go with them to their new home. May
they all live long and proper.-4kiward

and although it was melting all the
time it accumulated to' a depth of fully
three inches. No Wind accompanied it
and the warm sun yesterday caused it
to disappear very rapidly. In the Valley
it rained and in- all parts of the county it
put the ground in excellent condition to
receive the seed. The late rains last fall
wet the ground down deep and the mois
