Leaving the East and arriving at
Chicago or indianapolis, bow shall we
reach the West2 The best Line is oc-
kuowledged to be the c., B. a. O, Joined
together with the B. d. M. Railroad By
the Iron Bridge at Burlington, and
called the Burlington Route,
The Main line of the Route running
to Omaha, connects with the great Pa
cific Roads, and forms to-day the lead
log roule to California. The Middle
Branch, entering Nebraska at Platts-
mouth, passes through Lincoln, the
State Capital, and will this year be
finished TO Fort Kcarney, forming the
shortest route across the Continent by
over 100 miles.
Another branch Of the B. NJ, di-
verging at Red Oak, falls into a line
running down the Missouri through st
ice to Kansas City, and all Kansas
Passengers by this route to Kansas,
see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Mis-
souri,, aud, by slight divergence, can
see Nebraska also.
Lovers of fine views should ronem-
Der the Burlington Route, for its towns
"high. cleaning from afar"-its tree
iringed streams--its rough bluffs and
quarries-its corn-oceans stretching
over the praries further than the eye
can reach.
Land-buyers will be sure 20 remem-
Der it, for they have friends among the
two thousand who have already bought
farms from Geo S. Harris, the Land
Commissioner of the b. Il NJ. r. Il. at
Burlington, Iowa, Or among the four
thousand home -steadors and pre-emptors
who last year filed claims in the Lincoln
land Office, where "Unclo Sam is rich
enough to give us all a farm"
