Much has. been written of this
western countrv that renuires a
stretch, pf the imagination to com

arc,hear,d from tho class- who have
bten, misled by them, so in this
brief sketch tho writer desires to
avoid exageratlon as to its present
and prospective advantages, asking
those in the east into whose hands
this may fall particularly those
who have their eyes directedtowards
this coast to peruse it carefully,
feeling tnat it is no written to lure
immigrants within-its borders, but
only m ft truthful diScription of a
