The irrigated land in this valley is, without' doubt, the very best purchase
on the market today. Conditions of climate, altitude, soil, geographical position
and WATER SUPPLY alll favor this locality. This land will be sold with
perpetual water rights from one of the earliest appropriations out of the North
Platte River, the largest and best river thut Hows eust fom the Rocky Moun
tains. This river may well be called the " River Nile of America." It carries
double the amount of water of the South Platte, the Arkahsas and the Cache
La Poudre rivers combined. The silt ur.d mud carried in the water leaves a
coat of fertilizer each year equal in richness to that which for thousands of
years lias been annually deposited by the River Nile upon that rainless and
otherwise sterile country of Egypt, making it one of the most fertile valleys on
earth.
THE LAND OF SUNSHINE AND HEALTH
The country where every crop grown in this latitude reaches perfection -where
floods don't drown out your crops in spring, or drouth burn them up in
summer; where SUGAR BEETS, POTATOES, PEAS or ALFALFA will pay
23 PER CENT on $200 PER ACRE.
The North Platte Valley has demonstrated the adaptibility of its soil to
ti the beet, and during th.- past three years the crop was shipped first to
Grand Island and then to Ames, Nebraska, and this year to Stirling, Colorado,
the factory paying the freight. This they will not have to do when there is in
cultivation the necessary acreage to insure a factory. (3,000 acres.)
BEST OF RAILROAD FACILITIES
The Belmont canal is in Cheyenne county. Its water supply comes from
the North Platte River, which is the finest stream flowing east from the P.ocky
Mountains. The headgatc is located about eight miles east of Bridgeport, Neb.,
Hr.d the canal follows along the foot of the hills, which" rim the valley in the
south side of the river, for over forty miles.
Do you want land where there is no such thing a3 crop failure? Where
you control both seed time and harvest. Where you have no long cold wet
spells to interupt the cultivation of your crop? Where you apply the water
when the proper stage of growth is reached and the sunshine does the re3t? Where
no ill tiwed showers spoil your ungarnered grain? And where you never fail to
get tho highest market price for your products that are grown to perfection?
If you do, now is your opportunity. For further information write

Wise Talks by the Office Boy J
You can take my word for it whatever
a fellow hopes to be, he will be.iunless he
gets on the wrong car. Whenever I hear
one those worldly wise chaps using that
expression, "Where do I get off?" I
always feel like edging up and saying,
"Put him off at Plattsmouth because he
will then know just where he is going to
get off and we will all know where he is
getting off. We know that he will get
olf better than he expected for the
simple reason that we are primed
to the muzzle with new goods and we don't
care how soon the people know it. Times are improving,
business is improving, people are imtroving, everything
is improving except the weather and you can't improve
that because it isn't made to be bossed. Have you tried
our Plattsmouth brand of M & J coffee? Then you can't
go wrong on.
