LEXINGTON, Neb., May 2S-(speciai
Telegram )-kearney is tonight trying TO
outdo Oshkosh in the matter of showing
Omaha, but the new town with the foreign
name has set a pace which viii be hard
for any town or city in Nebraska to beat,
The concert and bali given In honor Of the
visitors was not sufficient The good peo-
pie OF Oshkosh were up bright and early
Tuesday morning to meet the train on its
return from North Port and the strains
OF the Oshkosh band bid the omahans fare
we'll as they left the valley of the Nile
to begin the days trip on the main line.
Oshkosh and Omaha are 90 much alike
that Oshkosh simply could not let SO.
To meet the Omaha business men a num-
Der Of Gerlng and bridgeport citizens came
to North Port by automobile, These two
towns were visited two years ago by the
Omaha excursion and the business men
Just could not get along without another
look at the real trade excursionists.
Everybody out at Broadwater.
Count the people at Broadwater depot
and you will know what the population is,"
said message received on the train be-
fore the train pulled into the little city. and
Il took some time to count them, too.
Hershey was a town which could show any
one that western Nebraska is the rival OF
any wheat and small grain growing section
in the country.
Hundreds OF little sacks of wheat and
oats were given to the visitors. On opening
them the .yfound not only prize-wInninK
grains, but a little note giving the facts
about where each sample was grown and
what tho production per acre was. one note
was signed by Albert Morris and said: IT
have raised 5000 bushels OF this wheat In
ly10., also 500 bushels OF corn and 800 BUSH
els OF oats" There Is plenty OF this Kind
OF land for sale. In four years have made
enough money to quit farming and am
goin gto sell my own place
Equally astonishing were the other figures
found In the little sacks OF grain.
