M00NEY, Cashier. liaiHlMlHTW Creating Wealth for the State of Nebraska By building its lines through lands then worth less than $5.00 per acre, the Union Pacific Railroad has aided in increasing tho value of those lands many-fold. Tho assessed value of all property in Nebraska has increased from $171,747,593 in 1900 to $398,985,819 in 1909. There has been no more important factor than the Nebraska railronds in creating this enormous wealth. The resultant prosperity has increased tho value of the railroad. In 1900 the Union Pacific Rnilrond paid taxes in the State of Nebraska amounting to $299,855.44. In 1909 it paid $578,112.44. Progress for the Union Pacific means progress for the whole State. Every mile of additional track laid, every train or station, creates wealth, which is not shared only by tho Union Pacific Railroad but by every citizen in the State of Nebraska. We have a book on Nebraska and its resources which will be mailed to some friend in the East for the asking. Please send us his address. Every Union Pacific Ticket Office is n bureau of railroad information. Make your wants known there, or write to me. GERRII FORT, Passenger Traffic Manager Omaha, Nebraska (G13)
