The dance given in the Opera Hall , on last Thursday evening , by the railroad boys , we are pleased to state , was a most eiijoyable one. from a social standpoint and equally successful in a financial way.

CONGRESS has the pre-emption , tim- jer-culture and desert land acts under Consideration , and the chances are that : hese acts will all be repealed at this session.

But all wishing to use the pre- jmption or timber-culture right had better be on the alert and take advan tage of the same , as the probabilities ire largely in favor of their repeal , and the same will likely go into effect immediately.

EDITOR TIUBUXK Dear Sir : There are those who may read your valuable paper , who have not the means of know- in IT the present outlook and condition of our county und the west poition of this state relative to prospects , etc. , from an agricultural point of view. For the benefit of such we will sub mit a fe.w facts in relation thereto : To the casual observer it might seem that th < ; present protracted and severe cold S ] ell , with the quite unusual depth of snow , might be looked upon as rather detrimental than otherwise ; but upon reflection it will be readily admitted that it is a well known , fact that all severe win crs are and ever have been followed by the very best tesults in the growing of cereals and all kinds of farm produce. And not only this , the length and severity of the present and past winter , together with the increase of rainfall , are prima facie evidence of that change ofclimate so long expected and so sure to conic to all new coun tries ; but to us so long in coming , as to discourage many hundreds of men who have been lit re and gone , some to return-even worse off than those who ] remained to st < in the storms of finan cial distress caused by the great and i ( in those days ) insurmountable pbsta- ' cles and difficulties that are to-day , thanks to the Great Giver of all < : oed ' and perfect gifts , numbered among the things of the pa.-t buried in oblivion by the bright , glorious and happy pros pects of our future prosperity never more to return. Red Willow county is the recipient of an impetus born of and akin to those motives , principles and determinations that will take an hundred fold more to baffle or discourage than in the days gone by. And wur present population is here to stay and they will stay. In looking over the' condition of old set tlers , many of whom came here with but very little capital , are to-day in comfortable circumstances , with plenty . of everything necessary to life and happiness around them : Horses , cattle , tie , hogs , poultry , grain of all kinds and vegetables. The universally large yield of crops of all kinds , the past sea son , gives us an amount equal to any' ' demand likely to be made upon us by the emigration soon to commence pouring in. and a very large emigra tion is expected. And right here lt l me answer in a general way letters re ceived by me , almost daily , relative to prices of grain , hay and other produce , from paitics who contemplate coming West : We quote corn and rye at 20c. to 25c. ; wheat. 40c. to SOc. : oats and bar ley , 35c. to 50c. ; hog-,4c. to 5c. Good work horses high and scarce. Farm machinery can be bought here as cheap as any where west of the Mississippi , considering the difference in freights. Now that there is a reasonable assur ance of reaping that which we sow and at the same time get ting a good yield of No. 1 grain we think wo can offer substantial inducement1 * to those east of here who rent land and but just ob tain a livelihood thereby. It is safe tp say they can live as well here as they do there and their land will.be growing in value just in proportion as they beau tify and improve it. We do not pen this with a view > f unduly influencing any to come here , but simply to enlighten those who arc led to believe that this is a barren uil- derness by stories to that effect put in circulation in the cast by the e who are interested in retarding the march of emigration hither. There is yet a large amount of government land sub ject to entry in western Nebraska , and the sooner this land is utilizer' ' the better for all concerred. Respectfully. C. II. RCSSKLL. Hamburgh.
