THE ORLEAKS-ST. FRANCIS BRANCH.
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.
