Probably one Of the finest productive Of the en-
tire West be found n the State OF Nebraska and par
cuary in that section Of it through which the Midland
Pacific Railroad is IN course Of construction Prof
Hayden, United states GeOlogst, says of 1t: The tnhe
is not far distant when Nebraska will be noted all over
the world the grandeur and beauty Of Its agrcul
tural portions" Tho fame Of this region has
already spread abroad, for It appears from
authentic data that the state is filling up
rapidly, not only with settlers from the East
ern States, but also with colonies and companies
OF farmers and aborers directly from England. While
the soil OF Nebraska is wonderfully fertile it is likewise
generously supplied with streams, coursng in every d-
rcction, which fully irrsate the country. Broad, rich
prairie lands stretch every hand, and they need
harvest The pasture and stock-rasing lands OF the
State are especially noted and the number OF beef cattle
and sheep raised there increases the population in
creases Farming general be carried on here with
probably little expense In any other section OF the
West. This attractive region is soon to become
easily accessible with the building OF rail-
roads through IL. The Midland Pacific, already
under way, is 60 stretch across the state from
Nebraska City to Grand Island on the Union Pacific
Road Connecting at Nebraska City with other lines IN
the same interest running eastward, trunk line Will be
formed 6lO miles in length, OF which 200 miles are now
compleed This will be an invaluable line Of cOmmuni
cation and transportation for Nebraska with her spen
did prospects of material wealth. 1t will be her main
artery from which branch roads will In time extend
wherever needed. The enterprise Is promised compile
ton in s73 but its Importance and necessity are estao
shed in advance. Nebraska only awaits the building OF
railways to demonstrate its material capacity, ard the
construction OF the Midland Pacific is the first great step
toward its fuller development
