THE "BEE HIVE , " - McCook , Neb.
THE ORLEANS-ST. FRANCIS BRANCI
Orleans , Neb. , April 5. Special coi
respondence. The Orleans-St. Franci
branch of the Burlington is "strictly i
it" this season. Since the first of th
year there has been a snow storm ever
week or ten days. The ground is froze
to a depth of several feet and full c
moisture , virtually insuring * a good get
eral crop for the coming season.
Last year was a prosperous one. Th
branch shipped over 2,000 car-loads c
stock and 2,000 car-loads of grain.Vi
souville shipped out 442 cars of live stoc
and 96 cars in , a total of 538 loads. I
this respect it leads any other point o
the Burlington -Nebraska , Kansa ;
Colorado , South Dakota , Wyoming o
Montana. Arapahoe , in the same cour
ty ( Furnas ) , is the second station on th
Burlington in stock shipments. Hem ;
ley and Wilsonville , only eight mile
apart , shipped out about 800 cars c
stock. If the Beaver valley for the 9
miles had been as well developed i
stock resources as in the vicinity of Wil
sonville and Hendley and the acreage c
alfalfa in the upper valley were as large
the shipments of stock could easily read
5,000 car-loads annually. Thousands c
acres in Rawlins and Decatur countie :
Kansas , along the Beaver , could be sow ;
in alfalfa. Experts of national repute
tion advance the opinion that no soil i :
the United States is better adapted t
the cultivation of alfalfa than the Beave
valley. No matter how cheap the lam
may be in its wild state , as soon as al
falfa is well rooted and a good stand se
cured it is worth $75 per acre.
Alfalfa sold this winter at from $3 t
$4 a ton. Three tons per acre is a com
niou yield and oftimes four , and three t
four crops per season are harvested. Al
falfa land is invaluable and is not on th
market. Golden opportunities await th
enterprising settlers who will buy th
thousands of acres of alfalfa land. Whe ;
the Beaver valley is thoroughly devel
oped , it will be the most famous alfalf
belt in the world. _
Farmers in Rawlins county. Kansas
have made fortunes raising wheat dut
ing the last two seasons. Messrs. Dunk
ard and Walruss , north of Ludell , raisei
7,000 to 8,000 bushels of wheat in 189
and sold it for $ t or more per bushel. Ii
1898 they raised as many bushels , bu
the price was lower. Twenty to thirt
bushels per acre during the last two sea
sons has been a common yield for win
ter wheat. One field near Herndoi
yielded 46 bushels per acre , last yeai
In all the east or west , where is the lam
that will realize so large a profit fron
the investment ? For instance , lam
worth $5 per acre producing $25 wort !
of wheat is a common thing in Rawlin
county. It is a mystery why easteri
people will pay big rent , when the ren
money and other expenses could star
them on to prosperity in the wheat
stock and alfalfa belt in Rawlins county
M. T. Banta , Burlington route imini
gration agent , of Charitan , Iowa , has lo
cated seventeen families in Rawlin
county. He has charge of the Burling
ton lands in Southwestern Nebraska am
Northwestern Kansas and is thorough !
posted. Any one contemplating locatin ;
in this section should write him.
Settlers are locating rapidly in th
territory adjacent to the Beaver vallej
Car-load after car-load of immigrant
are coming. Buildings are springing up
corn cribs overflowing with the the kin ;
of grains can be seen at every station
Twelve to fifteen train-loads of cattle ar
being shipped to Atwood to feed , am
this place is destined to become anothe
Wilsouville as a stock-shipping point.
Wheat land around Atwood has gou
up to a premium. The sure cinch for
spring wheat crop creates a strife to s
cure rentals of vacant , cultivated lands
The acreage will far surpass that of an
previous year.
Orleans is having quite a boom. Fou
business buildings will be built ther
this season. Orleans has the most bean
tiful and costly church between Denve
and St. Joseph. For architectural desigi
and artistic finish it would be au oriia
ment to any city. The Burlington ha
had a gang of carpenters repairing thi
depot and platforms at this point. Pros
pects for the coming season are very ros1
for the Orleans and Atwood country.
