NORTH' PLATTE LIGHT & POWER CO,
(From tho Ogata 11a News Feb. 6th.)
Since making my investments In
Lincoln county. Colorado. lauds last
spring, I have luul many Inquiries re
garding that locality and have decid
ed to answer same in print.
Limcn, a town of Twolvo Hundred,
with electric light nnd water works,
is our nearest town.
Limon ban two banks, two eleva
tors, a large crcumory, a fine high
school building and good business
houses in proportion.
Tho main line of the union Pacific
from Donver to Knnsan City and the
main lino of the Rock Island to Colo
rado Springs cross at Union giving
n tho host of railroad service.
The Oconn to Ocean, or (Joldon Dolt
Highway enters Limon and branches
there for Donv?r . and Colorado
prings.
The Union Pacific Highway and tho
ilmon to Drush Highway also enter
the town, giving It and the surround
ing counties tho best of Stato and Na
tional Highway service. These high
ways are being constantly improved
nnd Colorado roads are noted ovor tho
whole United States.
Lincoln county products can bo
placod on tho Denver or Colorado
Springs markol, within four hours by
truck.
Limon lies Ninety Miles South-oast
of Denver nnd Sixty-live miles North
oust of Colorado Springs and there
fore very convenient by train, auto or
truck to two splendid growing cities.
I am associated in this entorprlso
with L. S. Smith Jr.. whoso develop
ment of raw lands In Lincoln County,
Nebraska, into high class farms which
ho afterwards sold at a long price
fiollowied by tho development of a
largo tract at Venango, Nebraska,
from which ho has Just threshed more
than Forty-two Thousand bushels of
high grade wheat, prompted me to
accept his judgment In the selection
of agricultural land, tho result of
which was the purchase of six sec
tions of land near Limon. My son W.
A. Hoxie, also Joined us in the enter
prise.
W aro not offering this land for
salo but have out equipment on the
ground ready to break and put into
wheat as much as possible and hope
to have at least three thousand ncrs
of It in wheat by fall.
Part of this land has living water
on ami our wells are ahout sixteen ,
foot deep and supply an unlimited
quuntlty of pure water. From Inquiry'
I learn that good water Is obtained at
dopths varying from fifteen, to onn
hundred and fifteen feet. '
Tho cllmato Is delightful, quite
similar to that of Western Nebraska,
and freo from hot winds, which the
oldest Inhabitant assort have never
occurred there.
Tho crops grown aro wheat, com,
oats, rye, barley, cane, millet, sudan
grass, alfalfa, potatoes, and garden
truck wlt.li about tho same success a'g
in Wcstorn Nebraska. Land prices
havo advanced greatly since I Invest
ed thoro and aro still advancing. Goqd
tracts at this time can bo had for
Twonty-sovcn to Forty dollars per
acre, whllo lands no qulto as attrac
tive in appearance or location can be
had for Sovontetn to Twenty-live.
To any who contemplate changing
their location to wjioro lands arc
cheaper In price. I will gladly glyo
you any Information I possess, and if
you should decido to becomo our
neighbors and assist in developing
that county, wo will lend you any as
sistance In our power with tho boUof
that wo will bo benefitted by each
othors efforts.
We haviet an office in Limon from
which wo handle our fanning and
tractor operations, and I will spend a
portion of tho spring and summer
there.
All callers will recohvt a warm wel
come and tho benollt of any know
ledge wo may havo regarding Jands
or property in that locality.
