"Mr. Jas. K. Wall, a reo nt arrival

pleased with our climate and other
conditions that he has decided to ma no
his homo with us, and will send for his
wife to join bim here in the immediate
future. Mr. Wall has been looking
Into the conditions here with a view to
investing some capital in our midst
and is so rouoh pleased with the out
look that ho intends to expend some
six thousand dollars. Hi contemplates
orocting half adozm dwelling houses
with the latest improvements in the
shape of windmills, tanks, electric wir
ing, etc. Water will bo piped into the
houses and through the yards for irri
gation purposes, thus giving tho resi
dents a chance to beautify their homes
with floral displays. Mr. Wall, who is
a relative of fie Griggs family of our
town, bus been commissioned by a
number of Nebrnsknns to investigate
for thorn farming conditions out here,
nnd ho states that if he reports con
ditions favorable auuniber of thorn will
come out and settle here as they are
not satisfied with the condition!) in
their present 1'iono, nnd are seeking a
more equitable climate and more pro
ductive nnd fertile soil. Mr. Wall is
going io tho mountains as soon as the
weather permits to enjoy some of our
magnificent scenery.
