AKRON , COLORADO.
ED. TRIBUNE : It was uiy pleasure on
Thursday of last week , Dec. iJlst , 1S85 ,
to visit Akron , Colo. , in search of land.
I found Akron situated in Weld county ,
on the main line of the B. & M. R. R. ,
(0. ( "B. & Q. 11. R. , ) 142 miles west of
McCook , Nebraska , and about 60 miles
\vcsl of the Nebraska state line. You
will sec by looking at thu nr.tp of Ne
braska and Colorado that Northepstrrn
Colorado , in reality , was carved out of
Southwestern Nebraska , ami if this M-C-
tion had been taken in with Nebraska ,
the lands that are now vacant would
have been settled many months ago.
Here in Northeast Colorado , and in the
vicinity of Akron , arc as fine praiiie
lands awaiting the tettler to make his
lutuie upon as can be found in the Great
iVi'st. This section is i oiling prairie
lablo hnul , with just enough draws and
ra\iin > > ti give the iaid : a jjood draiiiriirt : ,
and whole townships , have not tv.-n sec
tions of waste and broken land in theii.
And a person has only to see these lands
and he is at once satisfied with them.
Tin : SOIL
Ts the same as Western Nebraska , a
dark loam where same is cultivatedbut ,
where uncultivated it is of a lighter col
or caused by prairie fires over pasture-
age. As soon as fire guards are put
around the land and it is cultivated to
growing crops , which shades and pro
tects the soil from sunburn , and buffalo
grass subdued , the soil is dark , and is
from 14to 3 feet deep. Blue-joint
grass also has a tendcnc3 * to protect the
soil and give it a darker appearance than
buffalo grass. All that Northeastern
Colorado needs is the homestead settler ,
then follows civilization and cultivation ,
and that is the whole of it. And here
then will be one of the finest sections
of land with a good climate as is in the
west. The water in this section is al
most as soft as rain water , and quite
near the surface , the. depth of a few
wells in this vicinity being as follows :
Northeast quarter section 23-2-55 , well
21 feet deep : northwest quarter section
2S-2-52 , well 21 feet deep ; northwest
quarter section 20-2-52,9 feet ; southeast
quarter section 8-2-52 , well on Lincoln
Land Co. town ? ile 70 feetdeep ; south
west quarter section 8 2-52 , B. & M. R.
well , 45 feet deep. Rock Springs 4
mies ! northwest of'Akronand , there are
several springs south and northeast.
The creator of this beautiful country
did not forget to give it plenty of good
water , and don't you foget it. A fine
quality of building rock can be had with
in a few miles of Akron.
AKKOX
Ts a division station on the B. & M.
11. R. The company have a roundhouse
here , an eating house of the same size
as at Red Cloud and 3JcCook. ice house ,
station , depot , coal shed and section
house. The Lincoln Land Co. own the
town site , ' and a more beautiful town
site is not to be found west of McCook ,
Neb. , and wiil be the booming city of
Northeastern Colorado. Twenty-seven
buildings nre under contract at this date ,
none of which are less than 22x40 feet
in size. We weie very much pleased
with this part of the country , and hope
it will be our lot to visit here again soor.
Fours very truly ,
W. S. WHEELEK , McCook , Neb. ,
Pastor of M. E. church.
Sin : was a remarkable young lady
who made the request of her friends
that after her decease she should not
be buried by a brook , where babbling
lovers would wake her from her dreams ,
nor in any cemetery , where sight-seers ,
conning over epitaphs , might distract
her , but be laid away to take her last
bleep under the counter of some mer
chant who did not advertise in the news
papers. There , she said , was to be
found peace surpassing all understand
ing a depth of quiet si umber , on which
neither the sound of the buoyant foot of
youth nor the weary shuffle of old age
would ever intrude. Ex.
For several years Chamberlain's Cough
.Remedy has been prized for its speedy and
cci tain cures of croup. It is the favorite and
main reliance with thousands of mothers , it
will not only cure croup hut if freely used as
.soon as the fir.-it induration of the disease ap
pears , that is as soon as the child becomes the
least hoarse , it will prevent it , doinjj away
v.'ith all danger and anxiety. There is not
the leatt danger in qiving the remedy freely ,
as it contains no injurious substance. Sold
