This road is entirely completed and in full oper-
alton between the Missouri River and Lincoln, the
capital of the State OF Nebraska, and is earning
more than all its expenses including interest ON It's
bonds while its traffic is constantly and rapidly In
creasing. The line has been built wholly by
stock subscriptions, and among IFS stockholders
are some of the most successful railway supporters
and inanciers in the country. The cost of the road
with its Franchises Real Estate Equipments, Tele-
graph Lines, &C., has been 1888 per miic while
the mortgage on it is but Sls,SS3, making the com
panys securities safe beyond contingency.
The Midland Pacific will connect with the Union
Pacific on the west and the east with direct lines
to the Atlantic Coast and all intermediate centers.
It's location is therefore a most important and COM
handing one, it being the central link OF a new
trunk route shortening the distance 10 the Pacific
by 147 miles, AS local enterprise, the Midland
Pacific is invaluable. Ii tTaveTses fertile tract OF
country one of the finest agricultural regions in the
Union, and is the main feeder for rapidly lncreas-

entire enterprise and recognize its importance and
value and confidently recommend its Bonds to in

During the past few years we have negotiated
large number of railway loans and there Is not one
of these roads whose property does not exceed in
