We take the following compliment ary notice of Webster county, and Red, Cloud, from the South Bend, (Ind.,) Tribune, written by Of. R. Chaney, of this city, formerly of that city. In this regard, we wouldsay, that if our citizens would write letters descriptiye of the count, to their eastern newspapers it would bo the the means of bringing a large number of people to Webster county. Although my acquaintance among' the readers of the Tribune is not very' extensive, a sketch descriptive of the' country and climate in southern Neb. raskn, may not be uninteresting. The general surface of the country here is undulating, and bedecked with- beautiful cottages, artificial groves and cultivated fields and gardens, extend ing as far as the eye can reach, from almost any point on the upland. The Republican river runs from west to east through the southern tier of counties, at an average distance of about six miles from the Kansas line. In thia (Web ster) county, there are twelve brooks of living'water running from six to twelve" miles north into this river, and fourteen running from about the same distance" south. Along these streams is more or less timber, the principal varieties of which are oak, walnut, ash, hickory, cotton-wcod, elm antl box-elder. There has been considerable red cedar, but it has mostly been cut and u?ed-in fenc ing. In places the timber is quite plen ty, and with careful and judicious uso, will be sufficient for home consumption. The farmers too are planting largo quantities, which seem to be doing well. The varieties which seem to do best are cotton-wood, elm, box-elder and mul berry. The Russian mulberry is prob ably the most profitable tree that can be cultivated here, as it grows into fuel as soon as any other, and produces a most delicious fruit. Fruit trees do" well here as soon as the ground is tam ed by cultivation. Those who fail to raise fruit trees here, fail to properly till the ground. The climate is mild, even and dry. This winter h:is been very mild and pleasant. We have had' but two bad disagreeable days here this winter. Our coldest days the mercury was only 15 below zero, and then not over two days at any one time. Thero has been no rain to speak of since No vember, and but little snow. It rained' three or four days contiuously just be fore it froze up, and there has been no thawing and freezing to make it muddv, hence the roads have been smooth all winter. We have had some rain and a little snow this spring since the ground began to thaw, and the old settlers say' the ground' is in the best condition it has ever been, and the prospects for' crops the best ever known. In 1870 tins county had a population of 19. It was organized in 1873, and in 1880 had a population of 7,104, and it is claimed that she now has a population of at least 10,000. It is the best watered county in the state, hence one of the best stock counties. W.N. Richardson, of this place, paid the B. & M. R. R. Co., over $36,000 for freight shipped from this point in 18S3, besides what he paid for stock shipped from other points. This is tne largest ireight bill paid by any one man in the state for that year. Red Cloud is the coun'yseat situated near the Republican river, on the main lino of the B & M. railroad, 220 miles south west of Omaha, 280 miles northwest of Kansas City and 374 miles east of Den ver. In 1880 Red Cloud had a popula tion ofOOO, wnile to-day her population will number 1,800. She is encircled on the north and east by a stream of living water largo enough for most purposes, and which will supply the city with abundant pure water. She is a divis ion of the B. Jc AI. railroad, one branch running direct from Kansas City to' Denver and the other by way of Oma ha, Lincoln, Hastings and Red Cloud to Denver. The B. & M. have their eating house, round house and repair shops here, and are taking an active interest in the growth and prosperity of our town. The C. B. & Q. of which the B. & M. is a branch, by the wa-, is the best railroad west of Chicago, and affords the best. cheaDest anil Krocf. transportation to people coming west -They have just supplanted the Pullman palace car by what they call the "1'leaides," which is a much finer and' more convenient ear, and is run from' Chicago to Denver. This car, on the5 outside, is very similar to the Pullman -but on the inside, it is quite different. Each party can have a seperate com partment to himself, if he so desires.. Added to the ordinary accommodations of the Pullman, isthepantrvand lunch' t-uiuiruiicni, wnicti is under the care of a porter, whose duty it is to fur nish such refreshments as the passen gers may desire. Connected with this compartment, is an electric bell, simi lar to the bell system of first-class ho tels. This arrangement does away with the regular dining room car, and gives em-h pas-enger the privilege of orderin such lunch and at such times as his appetite may demand, and of eatii-o-tncsamo; in his own compartment! rins oar ls ol the very latest and best pattern and elaborately and luxuriant! v turnished. It comes as nnnr ,.rtv.,i: . 'all the conveniens.! nf ii. -" wheels as can well be imagined.
