Growth of Towns and Cities

and typical western towns situated
in the counties affected by the pro-
visions of the Kinkaid bill along the
line of the Chicago & North Western
Railway, including O'Neill, Bassett,
Ainsworth, Valentine, Rushville,
Chadron and Harrison.
In these and other towns along the
lines of the Chicago & North Western
Railway good business opportunities
are offered to the merchant, me-
chanic, farmer, laborer and profess
sional man-opportunitiec which will
largely increase with the growth of
the country and the opening of the
public lands now taking place.

The dairying interests of north

on the railway and thus creating a

that can be produced.
Nebraska's Schools and Churches
The school system of Nebraska is
established on a most desirable basis
(the state shows the lowest percent
age of illiteracy), the school funds
being based on the wise provisions
of the early settlers by which lib
eral allotment of public lands was
made for school purposes. These
lands have grown in value with the
growth of the state and thus created
a liberal educational fund.
Churches, too, are numerous and
