Land Values Increasing.
The west is rapidly increasing in population and
everything indicates that the tide of immigration is
only commencing. Foreign immigration to the
United Statea this year will far exceed that of any
like period in the history of the nation. The east ia
already over-populated. The next five years will add
more to the population of the west than the past
twenty-five yean. The eyes of the nation are look
ing westward, and the center of population of the
union is drifting toward the setting sun.
The unprecedented activity of the great railroad
corporations- of the country in the construction of
new roads in every part of Nebraska and the west,
at a cost of hundreds of millions, is ample proof of
its rich and inexhaustible resources. The American
railway magnates are the shrewdest financiers in the
world, and when they invade a country with their
bands of steel it is safe for land buyers and business
men to follow them. The better parts of Nebraska
&re today a network of railroads.
Agricultural land in the east has reached its
limit of valuation for agricultural purposes; it will
no longer pay a reasonable interest on the money in
vested; hence little if any profit will be realized from
investments in land in the east. Rich agricultural
land can be bought in Nebraska now for one-third of
what it will be worth in hve years; so that, aside
from the profits realized from the crops raised on
Nebraska farms, substantial returns will be received
from the increase in the value of the land.
A Partial List.
The following described property only represents
a small part of the lands we have for sale. In mak
ing these selections we have endeavored to make
them as representative as possible of the land in the
various counties.
We have resident representatives in each county
in the state: these men are thoroughly familiar with
their respective counties have been over every foot
of the land and will give prospective buyers abso
lutely reliable information.
Twenty Years Experience.
Twenty years experience dealing in Nebraska
real estate enables us to give more valuable informa
tion as to character and value of land in the various
parts of the state than anyone with less experience.
We cheerfully give the benefit of this experience to
all customers.

Red Willow County.
Here are to be fonnd some of the most tempting invest
ments offered in the west. The crop on any piece of land in
this county will sell lor morcthan is asked for the land. Prices
are rn pidly advancing, and the amount of land changing hands
is surprising. Many farmers from the eastern states have
within the past few weeks bought large bodies of land in this
county; the snaps are being gobbled up. The outlook is bright
for a beet sugar factory at the county scat, as the sugar beet in
dustry is developing rapidly. Last year only a few acres were
put out as an experiment and this year there is a large serfage
in sugar beets and the yield is much better than was hoped for.
