Burlington officials state that the rush of
emigration to western Nebraska was never
SO great at this season of the year. Hun
dreds of car loads of movables and accom-
panying families are coming from various
eastern states, particularly Iowa and Illinois,
and are going to western counties and down
on the Kansas branches. There is also a
large movement from eastern Nebraska to
western and Friday there were $50 cars or
dered within the state for this exodus. This
is to be year of great development IN the
western half of the state.
