To a eas-ual observer of maps as
well as to the traveler by rail, very
little correct knowledge can be ac
quired of the rich soil, salubrious
climate, pure water advantages and
resources of a state like Nebraska.
Tlie.soiljnust be examined by scien
tific analysis or cultivated by the
fartuentQ kriowwliaV character of
crops it will produce. Both these
tests have been applied, aud the fact
of their richness and durability is
no longer doubted ; it has been pro
nounced under a careful analysis,
npproved by the authority of the
state, to be the richest soil in the
world, and ranging in thickness"
from 5 to 150, and even 200 feet,
This investigation shows that over
eighty per cent, of tho formation is
finely comminuted silica, so fine that
its true character can only be de
tected under a microscope. Ten per
cent, of its substance is made u of
carbonates aud phosphates of lime.
There are some small amounts of
alkaline matter, iron and alumina;
the result being a soil that can never
be exhausted until every hill and
valley which composes it is entirely
worn away. The richer surface soil
overlies the sub soil, and it is from
18 inches to 3 and 4, and oven 6 feet
thick.
The next evidence of tho richness
of Nebraska soil is obtained from the
crops raised by actual cultivation.
It ie not uuusual with the corn crop
to produce from 70 pounds of ears
GO to G3 pounds of shelled corn, or
four to 6even pounds over the stand
ard, the general average of ptoduc
tion, with average fair cultivation,
being 50 to GO bushels per acre.
Great varieties of wheat are grown,
the yield being 15, 25 and the Polish
variety yielding sometimes 30 to 35
bushels per acre; of barley a fair
yield is 30 to 40 bushels ; of rye, 25
to 30, oats 40 to 50 bushels. Flax
produces 12 bushels per acre.
The area of the state comprises
75,995 square miles, or 4G,G25,800
acres, aud is about ae large as all
the New England states, or all of
Pennsylvania and half of New York
Its length is 412 miles, and its width
about 200. The land on the eastern
boundary is about 910 fact above sea
level, on the western, about 5,000.
It is between the parallels of 40
and 43 north latitude, placing the
state in the latitude of Pennsylvania,
and southern Now York, and north
ern California, and southern Ore
gon. From the eastern to the
"western boundary of Nobraska,therc
is a gradual rise in the laud of about
seven feet to the mile in eastern
Nebraska, and from that to ten feet
in the west; the eastern boundary is
910 feet above sea level, and the
western about 5,000.
The coming spring bids fair, at
the present time, for a large emigra
tion from the older states and for
eign countries to Nebraska, where
cheap and good lands can yet be
procured, either directly from the
government or improved lands from
those who want to make larger in
vestments in stock. It is of the
utmost importance to persons in
tending to locate in Nebraska that
they should receive reliable and
truthful information regarding tho
state, aud especially the richness and
productiveness of its soil, and in
what we haye written and what we
may hereafter write, most of our
facts are taken from a publication
issued by the State, approved by
Gov. Nance and F. M. Davis, Land
Commissioner, and any person de
siring further information by apply
ing to S. J. Alexander, Secretary of
State, at Lincoln, Neb., will doubt
less be furnished with the publica
tion which treats of Nebraska and
its resources.
The Prospect.
Of courso the welfare of a commu
nity, as of an individual, depends
mainly upon the spirit with which
'it is imbued, and the energy and
promptness with which enterprises
arc carried forward. Since the day
when the foundations of our city
were laid in the unpretentious set
tlement on the river banks twenty
four years ago, Columbus has had a
regular growth commensurate with
that of the State at large. "When
the stream of immigration was full,
Columbus has built up rapidly, and
always has maintained herself in the
midst of one of the finest sections of
country that tho sun shines upon,
fully abreast, if not a little ahead of
the times. She has seen settlement
after settlement springing up all
around her; she has witnessed the
growth of nuclei of trade, here aud
there, in territory that was once all
her own, and this with pleasure, for
every one of these things has added
to the permanent, the future welfare
of our city, just as improvements
made add to the commercial value
of a farm.
The establishment of the ferry
across the Loup at this place was an
event, in its way, attracting thither
the overland trains of emigrants;
the rude temporary bridge was an
improvement; the construction., of
the Union Pacific road was a grand
event for the town, doing away
with the freighting by wagon from
Omaha; but, to our mind, the com
pletion of the competing line of rail
way, the Lincoln & Northwestern,
which is now near at hand, and
which will assuredly take place
within the next sixty or ninety days
(time that will rapidly pass), is to be
the highest note thus far" struck in
tho song of Columbusls temporal
welfare. It will bring us into close
business connection with Lincoln,
St. Joe, Kansas City, Atchison, St.
Louis, and give us a chance to save
something to ourselves of tho enor
mous profits we have been paying
for transportation. While this event
is soon to take placo to the profit of
every man within our business
radius, Columbus must not lose sight,
of the fact, thaUwhilc ijPisiniportant
we should have excellent facilities
for the transportation of our prod
ucts and supplies, it is far more
essential to us that we have plcuty
of raw and manufactured products
e . sale that wq utilize all out
vacant lauds; that we make com
mercial stock of material that now
goes to waste; that we make use of
the forces that nature has placed
within our reach to keep the balance
of trade always in our favor. Let
the good work go forward and the
good word be reiterated by all uutil
a manufacturing nucleus is assured.
For the Journal.
ABU orAtlrice anil Cant ion by
Anti-Auniliilsitor.
Mr. Editor : The American peo
ple are perhaps the most enterpris
ing people under the sun. It has
been said that if a Yankee was
shipwrecked and was in the night
thrown ashore op an island he would
next morning be found selling maps
of the country to the inhabitants.
That such an enterprising people
should sometimes embark into
schemes that do not pay, not only,
but that end in disaster, is to be ex
pected. A good deal of enterprise
haabecn shown in the building up
of theso new towns along the Jack
sou & Norfolk It. R., and especially
at Platte Centre. These towns
spring up mushrooms. Beginuing
at a time of the year when farmers
were just about to haul their produce
to market, there was, of course, a
pretty lively time there, but soon it
will be very different. Let farmers
begin to plow and sow, and but very
few if any will visit these towns.
The little they might have to mar
"kct, they will tako to Columbus, for
there they have business in the court
house, with the lawyer, with the
merchant, aud the little mushroom
towns will be as dead as a dead
mouse !
Experience, Mr. Editor, is a good
teacher. All over these United
States there are hundreds if not
thousands of such little towns.
"Wherever a railroad was built and
wherever a little shanty of a depot
was erected, there some enterprising
Yankee or other man would sell
lots and start a town with great
ado but very soon there were va
cant houses, disappointed men,
starving men and women, lots and
gardens overgrown with weeds, un
t raveled roads covered with a luxu
riant carpet of grass, and so forth.
Now, many a man investing his
little all in such a way will surely
be disappointed and broken down
financially before he thinks of if.
But the writer of this, "with good
will to all and malice to none," don't
like to sec anybody nor any town
noranybody'8 substance annihilated.
He would therefore, Mr. Editor,
with your permission, say to every
young man and old man, to every
woman and maiden : Look before
you leap! Your well-meaning
Anti-Annihilator.
Fire at Omaha.
James E. Boyd's extensive pork
packing establishment at Omaha was
entirely destroyed by fire Sunday
night. The fire got a very good
start, owing to the distance the en
gines were away from the building
and the business portion of the city,
and it soon became evident that the
fire could not be extinguished. The
estimated loss'on meals is $213,000,
with $100,000 insurance. Loss on
buildings, $50,000, insurance $25,000 ;
making Mr. Boyd'a total loss $138,
000. About 100 men were thrown
out of employment, aud it is not
only a severe blow on Mr. Boyd but
also the city of Omaha.
During the Boyd fire and the ab
sence of the fire department, about
1 o'clock engine house No. 2 in
Omaha was discovered to be on fire.
Engine Nos. 1 aud 3 came on the
ground in time to prevent a serious
conflagration, but not in time to
save the buildiug, which was prob
ably set on fire by an incendiary.
The. Supremo Court of Nebraska
recently decided a very important
case relative to tl-c method of levy
ing a tax for a sinking fund. Chief
Justice Maxwell delivered the opin
ion of the court in the case of the
Union Pacific railroad company vs.
the County Commissioners of Buff
alo county. It appears that the
commissioners, after the exhaustion
of the levy in the years 187G and
1877, allowed claims against the
county to the amount of $22,000, aud
issued certificates of indebtedness
therefor, and levied a sinking fund
tax of five mills on the dollar valua
tion for their payment. Tho court
say that a sinking fund tax is a tax
raised to bo applied to the payment
of the interest and principal of a
public loan, and it cannot, under tho
statute, be levied for the payment of
floating indebtedness, but only on
bonded indebtedness. The court
therefore held that the tax was il
legal and void.
Thr questions propounded to the
Supreme Court of Maine by the re
publicans have a second time been
sustained by the court in eaqh and
every particular, and the action of
fusioni.-t frauds declared to be un
lawful. We would be pleased to
give the opinion In full, which would
occupy too much space to the ex
clusion of other matter. It would
occupy five or six columns of our
space.
News from New York, under
date of the lotli in&t., states that the
directors of the Union Pacific and
Kansas Pacific railroads are iu con
sult.ition on the proposed scheme of
consolidation, which was projected
some monfhs ago. If this consulta
tion results favorably fo the schema
freight traffic will be concentrated
and'pn&s over the St. Joo'and Wes
tern, formerly the St. Joseph and
Denver City, and by the new line to
Kansas City the Missouri Pacific
and the Hannibal and St. Joe and
Wabash system of roads the eas
tern connection will be completed.
Wm. Townsexd, a farmer living
near St. Paul, Minn., was attacked
the other day by John Galvin, a
maniac, with an axe, and the life-aud-death
struggle, while it lasted,
was fearful, but the farmer got the
better of the maniac and punished
him badly, inflicting severe, if not
fatal injuries. Mr. Townscnd bound
the maniac hand- aud foot, aud sent
for the oflicers of the law at St. Paul
to come and get him. He believed
that the maniac was a tramp.
