Orleans , Nebraska , March lotli , 1899. Special to THE TRIBUNE. The At\vood- Orleans branch for 1899 will exceed that of 1898. The first two months of this year far exceed that of 1898 in shipments and prosperity. A year ago extras were scarce ; now extras after extras are sent to relieve the regular trains , which can not handle the traffic. For the first time since 1892 emigrants and land- seekers are locating in the Beaver valley. Substantial farmers are buying homes adjacent to the fertile Beaver and Sappa valleys. Business flows in a steady stream. Merchants are enjoying the best trade in the history of this country. Hotels are full of guests. Commercial houses that never made this territory are sending their travelling men here. The Burlington has a heavy traffic shipped in and off the branch 4,000 car loads of grain and stock are the resources between Orleans and Atwood. Mer chandise , lumber , coal and farm ma chinery are in proportion to the figures above. Two good crops of wheat 1897 and 1898 with cribs full of corn , have put the farmers in good financial condi tion. The year 1899 nas every prospect of exceeding that of 1898 , for several reasons : Much snow and soil frozen over four feet , will place it in condition that years have not equaled. Winter wheat has wintered the coldest weather in years without injury ; the acreage is large ; Rawlins and Decatur counties are in an ideal winter wheat belt. Land that in 1897 was worth $5 per acre in Rawlins county produced from 20 to 30 bushels of winter wheat , and farmers who were shrewd received $ i per bushel $20 to $30 raised in one year on $5 land. ( Eastern papers please copy and draw the same comparisons between eastern land and the crops raised there on. ) Approximately , 2,000 car-loads of stock shipped from between Orleans and At wood , that have been feeding in the 30- ooo-acre alfalfa belt within the 91 miles of territory , is the best argument in favor of the Beaver valley branch and stock resources. Wilsonville , Nebraska , the banner station of the Burlington in stock shipments , surpassing Superior , Nebraska , or any other point on the Bur lington , shipped out 442 car-loads and shipped in 96 car-loads. Hendlev and Wilsonville , only eight miles apart , shipped 800 car-loads of s.tock. indicating what the Beaver valley will be when its stock resources are fully developed. Several large ranches have been pur chased , recently.near Atwood , and other deals are negotiating the extreme west ern part of Rawlins county and all of Cheyenne county form an ideal stock belt better for that than for farming. Golden opportunities await those- who will buy before these vast.stretches of nutritious grass are taken. end-buyers are now- numerous along the branch. Tens of thousands of cattle could be grazed between Beardsley and St. Fran cis , where there are now only hundreds the stock resources of the western part of the St. Francis branch barely touched. If all of Cheyenne county were used for stock-raising and feeding purposes/ instead of in raising grain , that country would be far better off. Much building is going on in Orleans : Four store build ings will be erected and many dwellings. Orleans has the most beautiful and cost ly church between Denver and St.Joseph. H. C. F.

The loss will be considerable , No one was at home at the time , Mrs. Curry being at a neighbor's visiting. And it was St. Patrick's day , this morning. Do you mind ?
