St. Pavi, Neb.,, June 6, 1881, During a recent trip along the U. T railroad from North Platte to Grand Island, T was much surprised at the great number of emigrant wagons on | the road to Oregon. At one place 1 saw eleven that hailed from Towa; at another place sixteen from Missouri, and at another place eight from Kan sas. Inthe western pal where all get on one tra | nearly | bound wagons will avers one per mile The stock loss during the past win- | ter has been currently orted at 7 per cent, but is found to be much |} greater, Tt sec ranchmen | don’t like to let have sustained any ater | but the employees do exercise quite the same discret The opinion is quite freely exp that the loss will exceed ten pe nt on the whole. One ranchman told me | his loss was fully fifteen per cent. In the question, why do_the answe stockmen desire the public to believe the loss to be than it actually is, he replied: “Somo have heen oper- ating partly on loan apital and fear | arisc in interest demanded. Thirty per cent of some herds of through cat- tle perished. The town of NORTIL PLATTR has improved very much in the past year. A number of fine brick build- ings will o added this year. James Belden, the hardware man, will erect a two-story brick, with doublo front. Beside it will be a brick grocery, by H. R. Ottman, and a postoflice build- ing by T. C. Patterson. The upper story of these buildings will bo fitted up for offices. ration Day was nlvprolnrn\luli' observed by the people of North Platte, a large number of whom went to the old Ft. McPherson cemetory to deck the graves. As hasalready heen stated in Tug Beg, the buildings of the old fort were sold under the ham- mer for a little less than 85,000. They were built of logs, and will be of use ly when utilized eclsewhere., The purchasers live in North Platte, to which place some of the logs are now being transported. THE TOWN OF PLUM CREEK has increased s~ in population and very considerably in business. 1t is the county seat of Dawson county and has a very good prospect to become an important city. i eBRR G Gibbon, Shelton and Woodriver, between Kearney and Grand Island, keep pace with the in crease of settlement and trade. Ex- tensive mills are located at Gibbon and Shelton, from which flour is shipped to points west, even into Wy- oming and Colorado. The ground ‘s in good condition in the Woodriver country and the crops promise splen- didly. GRAND ISLAND has improved more in the past year than any other Nébraska town, except Omaha and Lincoln. The shops are Imr(ly completed, Wolbach’s brick block is just ready for occupation and the town has added nearly one thou- sand people. 'Many’ business houses have changed proprietors, and the number has been slightly increased. Some paper has stated that thero are only two men in the place who sympa- thize with Conkling in the present po- lit; imbroglio. This is an error for there are four and one is a rank domo- crat. THE TOWN OF 8T, PAUL, present terminus of the Loup branch of the U, P. railway, has more than doubled _its population in the past car, No way station in Nobraska is Ycilipibaismnio tihidat to-duy as St. Paul. It has a number of live busi- ness men, with energy and capital to assist in developing its highest possi- bilities. It has a water power flour ing mill, which cost $16,000, It is semi-officially announced that the Loup branch of railway wili be ex- tended to Ord this season. As is gencrally well known this is o political hot bed, and the county has usually been’ manipulated by a ring who have used it as a contribution to railroad political power and prestige. The railroad finger was in St. Paul a fortnight ago slating the county ticket for the coming fall election. The ring reported who should be nom- inated on the republican ticket for clerk, treasurer, sheriff and judge of the county, The county superinten- dent of schools and county commis- sioner are reserved as gifts, one to be tendered the church and the other to the temperance pw?nlu. The finger signified the acceptability of the slate as far as made up, and cautioned themto put the gifts in places whese they will count well that success may crown their efforts, This slate makes o bow first to its makers, then to the saloon element, next to the G. A, R., and lastly on the pro- gramine, prepares overtures for the church and morality people.

The ship will icave the col- ony at Lady Franklin bay, with sup- plies for three years, and return im- mediately to the United States, after which the government will send a ship to the colony each year with supplics, ammunition, et Landing late in the summer the colony will have ample time in which to propare themselves a home station, put up hut, arrange port- able houses and make ready for the long and dreary six months of night which will soon thereafter settle down upon them. When this protracted night shall bo succeedod by the day the explorers will move vne and por- haps two degrees further upon their voyage overland, then providing a second home station, where they will await the coming of another night. On tho oceasion of tho second day’s dawn after their landing they expect to make a bold and final dash to gain the object of their expedition, and to return to their second home station, whore the third long night will ho spent. Then the return to the final station will follow, and at the end of ' three years the colony hope to return home in a government vessel. Full arrangements for the overland expedition have been ar- ranged by Dr. Pavy, in Greenland, who bhas been thero a year and has bécome acclimated, The Esquimaux outfits and guides aro already provided and prepared for the part which they are expected to porform in the expo- dition. The object of the exploration is to make observations astronomical and geographical, to ascortain whether Greenland is an island or a peninsula, to exploro territory, and, if possible, to discover the supposed channel leading around and into Behring struits, which may lead to the discovery and location of the mystical “North Pole.” As the sanitary arrangemonts for this expedition are far superior to | those who have made others unsuc- cessful and fatal, its good results are looked forward te with confidence by those directly interested in it. 1. .
