THE ORLEANS-ST. FRANCIS BRANCH.
ORLEANS , NEB. , Jan. 27 , 1899. ( Spe
cial Cor. Tribune. ) The year 1898 has
been a record breaker for business , crops
and prosperity. There is no doubt that
the 91 miles from Atwood to Orleans is
the best paying track for the money in
vested on the Burlington system.
The live-stock traffic has been extra
good , and along the "alfalfa belt , "
where 50,000 acres of the Queen of the
Meadow thrives second to nowhere in
the United States , 1929 carloads of cat
tle and hogs and sheep were shipped
from Atwood to Stamford. Wilson-
ville , Nebraska , heads the list with 442
carloads of stock ; Hendley 351 carloads ;
Stamford 247 carloads ; Beaver City 240
carloads ; Atwood , Kansas , 167 carloads ;
Lebanon 135 carloads ; Daubury 195 car
loads ; Herndon , Kansas , 58 carloads ;
Cedar Bluffs 59 carloads ; Ludell 35 car
loads. Several hundred carloads of
stock have been shipped in along the
line to feed , and none of these have yet
been shipped.
The grain crop has been excellent this
year , and 2,056 carloads of grain have
been shipped off the Branch from At
wood to Stamford. Bea.ver City heads
the list with 440 carloads , Dan bury 4 4
carloads , Atwood , third on the list with
267 carloads , Herndon 222 carloads , Wil-
sonville 193 carloads , Hendley 149 car
loads , Lebanon 150 carloads , Ludell 118
carloads , Stamford 97 carloads , Cedar
Bluffs 97 carloads. Beaver City heads
the list on total shipments of stock and
grain. The totals are as follows :
1. Beaver City , 680cars stock and grain.
2. Wilsonville , 635
3. Danbury , 619
4. Hendley , 500
5. Atwood , 434
6. Stamford , 344
7. Lebanon , 284
8. Herndon. 280
9. Cedar Bluffs , 156
10. Ludell , 153
Grand total of stock and wheat , 4,085
carloads.
The carloads of merchandise will equal
this , if not more. Then add to this the
carloads of lumber , coal , etc. ( figures not
obtainable ) , and the total carloads will
be not far from 10,000.
St. Francis , Kansas , shipped within
four months 298 carloads. Figures for
McDonald and Bird City will be at least
200 carloads more. So that west of At
wood there were shipped 500 carloads of
grain and stock , making the grand total
nearly 4,600 for the St. Francis Branch.
Does it pay ? Where is a branch that
pays as well ?
Danbury has built a new church and
city hall ; Hendley , two new churches ;
Lebanon , half a dozen new buildings ;
Herndon , a new hotel. Orleans has the
most costly church in Western Nebraska.
It is built of gray Colorado stone , and is
more of a cathedral ; is splendid in all its
proportions.
Mr. and Mrs. Morrissey gave a select
party at their residence , Tuesday even
ing. The society people of Atwood had
a splendid time , and enjoyed the pleas
ures of social pastime until a late hour.
A bountiful supper was set of oysters
and delicacies. The guests all voted Mr.
Morrissey a generous and brilliant host ,
and Mrs. Morrissey a charming hostess.
The small-pox scare of Wilsonville is a
nightmare of the past.
Atwood people are very anxious to
have the depot removed to the tqwn , in
stead of a mile and a quarter away.
