Norfolk , Bitnntod hi the northoiwtorn
portion of MiullHOii county in the cantor
of n rich farming district , Is ono of , ho
ninny monuments to pa h and ontor-
prlso which nRtound these unacquainted
with the projjroHslvo spirit that ninrlc the
provorhhil western hustlor.
It IB located on u nightly plntonn at
the junotnro of the Kllchorn rlvor with
ItH northern brnnoh , the "North Fork"
and derives Its name from corruption
of the delhiing torniH , north nnd fork.
It is impossible to conceive thut but n
comparatively few years ago the BOOHO
of this thrifty community was nn IBO-
Intod spot , uninhabited and generally
Bpouklng , unknown. The Indian , wolf
and coyotes traversed its imadnlating
plain in solitary procession , happy with
the lot that had cnst thorn in a lundrloh
nnd resourceful. The primeval march
of the rugged pioneer in time proceeded
over the tidgu of the custom hills , and
into the Klkhnrn valley the pralrio
Bohoonor with I H homogeneous bnrdon
found its way thoro. Husldo the clear ,
running stroiuiw on the bosom of a rich
virgin soil thcso Bottlera inado tholr
homos nnd under the benign influence
of Nobrnsku'H matchless olimutio comli-
tlons organized nnd grow into a strong
and prosperous community. The land
endowed with a plimtltudo of nutritious

of nature's prodigious bounty. Farm
IIOUSOH sprnng up in n night , wide Holds

. of the wisdom and foresight of the north
Nebraska pioneer.
lu the midst of this happy Crultfuluoss
the proBout city of Norfolk was founded.
With natural advantages ns to location ,
resources nnd facilities , under the sturdy
iiilluouco of its founders it grow and
prospered and wixs soon an important
mart for the products of the surrounding
farms and ranches.

early settlers who had pinned their con
fidence to the little villngo with its mill ,
store and half dozen rude dwelliugesnw
n realization of their most sanguine ex
pectations in the growth of the settle
ment -its present aspect giving little of
any indication of its then meager pro
portions.
This beautiful city , with its wide ,
finely appointed streets , modern and
costly residences , substantial stone nud
brlok blocks , buildings nnd latter day
facilities , the equal of which can only bo
found in cities twice its si/.o , is iudood
a mudol nnd will always stand ns a mon
ument to the enterprise and progressiveness -
ness displayed by its wido-awako citi
zens.
Norfolk has a population , according
to the last census , of ! iS8i ; inhabitants ,
which nggrcgato has boon materially
increased since the last oillcial count.
This population is strictly within the
corporate limits , the scattered popula
tion just beyond these bounds taken into
account would ill all probability swell
the total to n figure not far below tbo
fi.OOO mark.
Of the population in and tributary to
Norfolk the German and American elo-
uiouts predominate.
The steadfast growth of this prosper
ous city , outside of the oillciout nud har
monious oll'orts put forth on its behalf
by its business and professional men is
duo to the rich productive elements of
the soil that encircles the city for miles
around. Agricultural pursuits have
netted the shrewd Nobraskaus abund
ant returns and within the past f w
years , in the majority of cases , comfort
able competences. To this most im
portant feature , in conjunction with the
happy facilities of prosperous stock
raising is duo the solidity of the city of
Norfolk and this item in itself is ono
that should strongly appeal to and en
courage the outsider and investor to
this garden spot of activity , natural re
sources and fecund soil.
Ono Jof [ Norfolk's enterprising firm's
on advertising cards used for outside
distribution , states in reference to farms
in this section , "They are as safe as
government bonds. "
This is very evidently true , if the pros
perous looking farms , substantial houses
and fat bank accounts that are accredited
to the farmer of this section , can betaken
taken as indication.
In the past ten years ! tG,369 inhabi
tants found their way Into this section
of the state , the total showing a not gain
in that time of ten and six-tenths per
cont. To the conservative and percep
tive man , this brief compilation is of
value and consideration.
Of Norfolk's banking iustiutions she
is well represented with strong and pro *
gressivo financial establishments.
Fiscal organizations in all localities
exert a potent influence upon the gen
eral welfare and commercial possibilities
of iv city nnd in this rospoot the banks of
Norfolk have played an important part.
The tidal wave of business depression
that engulfed in a mnolstronitof destruc
tion many of the conoedodly strong and
substantial business communities
throughout the laud a few yearn slnco ,
did not overwhelm that of the nourishing
young city of Norfolk , Its bulwark of
sound resources , capital nnd confidence
remained untouched and unlmpared.i
The Norfolk National is one of the
most substantial banks in northeastern
Nebraska. Its directorate is composed
of bankers and business men of wisdom
and sagacity , who enjoy lu tholr deal
ings the confidence and esteem of the
community. The bank has a paid up
capital of $100,000 with surplus and
profits nggregnting $25,000. , The Oitb.ous
Nnttonnl is another banking institution
of importance , its olllclals and directors
enjoying recognition ns business men
of iuterprlso and stability. The capital
of the hank is $ r > 0QOO , with surplus nnd
profits amounting to $15,000.
Outside or her national banks Norfolk
has two building and loan associations
in aotivo operation , which Institutions
liavo boon careful factors in placing
within the hands of its enterprising
and thrifty wage earners , homes and
modest competences. The two associ
ations have been long established and
are both prosperous and flourishing.
The Norfolk Building and Loan associ
ation and the Elkhorn Building and
Savings association nro the incorporated
names of the companies.
In connection with the banks and
building and loan associations , the city
is well represented with various firms
and individuals who negotiate farm
loans for outside and resident interests.
So money has always boon comparatively
easy in this center of a prosperous section.
The importance of Norfolk as n com-
nutctnl nud industrial center has been
of sulllcient extent to have drawn the
attention of more than ono railroad
corporation. The Fremont , Elkhoru &
Missouri Valley , Union Pacific , and the
Minneapolis & Omaha Hues strive for
the business of the community.
The Fremont , Elkhoru & Missouri
\rnlloy railroad is at present extending
its Verdigris branch north of Norfolk tea
a considerable distance in quest of the
extensive business that exists lu the rich
districts northwest of Norfolk , between
this point nnd the South Dakota state
lino.
lino.Tho
The Cereal mills , Norfolk Foundry
and Manufacturing company , beet
sugar factory , oto. , are industries of the
city that command attention for their
respective products , capital involved
and the amount of labor employed.
The sugar factory is ono of the most
extensive enterprises , its buildings and
equipments representing nn outlay of
some $ r > 00,000. An indication of its
commercial importance may bo gleaned
from the fact that its output for last
year aggregated seven million pounds
of sugar , the army of wago-workois
necessary to man , equip the plant nud
produce tlu's enormous amount of crys
talline substance numbering some 800
men.
A rnilroad addition to the city , soon
to bo in course of constructionn feature
that will add prjstlgo to the city as a
railroad headquarters , is the new
eighteen stall roundhouse to bo erected
by the Fremont & Missouri Valley in
the near futuro.
The city's two implement houses , va
rious drug , dry goods and mercantile es
tablishments , indicate the demand for
the articles cnrrled nud the generally
prosperous condition of the community.
While Norfolk has been absorbed in a
constantly growing commerce , plans for
future business and success have not
caused the schools to bo neglected or
slighted. Two thousand pupils of all
ages and thirty teachers , np-to-dato and
well paid , are evidence of this. The
school buildings are well lighted , ven
tilated aud built according to the best
ideas of sanitation and convenience.
Norfolk's religious edifices are as nu
merous as they are beautiful ami sub
stantial. Practically all denominations
are represented , the Episcopal , Catholic ,
Methodist , Baptist , First and Second
Congregational , Christ Lutheran , Free
Methodist , German Evangelical and St.
Paul Lutheran churches being among
the places of worship.
An impression that strikes the visitor
to the city of Norfolk at once aud with
weight is the substantial aspect that is
associated with Norfolk aud all that per
tains to it. One expecting to find in this
community n typical western city , with
mushroom architecture , aspirations and
tendencies , is foredoomed to surprise and
pleasing disappointment. No more
deeply seated , progressive and striving
town will bo found anywhere in the
great northwest , travel where yon may ,
discriminate as presistontly as you
choose , weigh the size of the city and
compare with others with like proportions
tions aud its peer cannot bo determined.
The character of the water for the
consumption of the city is excellent , and
the facilities for handling nud transport
ing it the best. The supply is taken
from the wells near the north fork of
the Elkhorn , about five miles of water-
mains distributing nud delivering it
about all parts of the city.
Electric nnd nro lighting is the fea
ture of illumination. A now gas plant
is at present in its initial stages of in
ception which , when completed , will add
additional luster to the illuminating
facilities of the locality , Thin plant , It
Is conceded , will entail an expenditure
of $ : IO,00 ( ) or $10,000.
Among the county olllcors who reside
in Norfolk are J , .T , Clomontn , shorllT ;
Burt Mapos , county attorney ; 0. W.
Oruin , superintendent.
The city administrative ofllclnls hav
ing charge of the olty souls , finances ,
law and order regulations are : Dun J.
Koonlgstoln , mayor ; S , II. McFarland ,
clerk ; Carl Wilde , treasurer ; S. W.
Hayes , pollco judge ; W. II. Lowe ,
engineer. In addition to the above it
may bo wall to mention 0. 12. Hartford ,
the efficient chief of the flro department ,
whoso gallant service aud commendable
efforts in reducing fires has won him n
recognition throughout the state of Ne
braska. Ho at present holds the vice
prcsideuoy of the Nebraska Volunteer
Fireman's association.
The city has always boon the seat of a
state institution , the Nebraska Hospital
for the Insane , but siuco the distruction
by flro last August nothing material
has boon dona toward its reconstruction.
It is confidently expected , however ,
when the legislature acts upon the mut
ter that the institution will bo robuilt.
The fraternal nnd social orders of the
city nro strong and numerous , compris
ing every political , religious , social and
secret organization in favor. The on-
Hcmblo includes a largo body of adher
ents , the societies infusing a spirit of co
operation among the members aud sup
port commendable nnd advantageous
quarters.
The Commercial club is a feature of
importance to the city Its members being -
ing composed of prominent and profess
ional men of the community who , in
unison , co-operate for the advancement
aud betterment of Norfolk. G. A. Lui-
hurt aud B. Mapes are among its prom
inent factors.
The press is well and favorably represented -
resented in the city. Tun NEWS ( rep. ) ,
Times Tribune ( doui ) , AuzoigorGermnxi (
dom. ) , having the interests of this lic.o
in hand.
The two lending hotels of Norfolk are
both modern aud well patronized. The
table furnished is good and the facilities
for the convenience of their respective
guests meeting the staudard of require-
mouts demanded.
The Auditorium theater has a con
siderable seating capacity aud is well
equipped and furnished.
The topography of the country sur-
ronudiug Norfolk is gently undulating.
Tbo average acreage yield in corn is
thirty-five bushels to the aero ; wheat
twelve bushels ; sugar beets , ton tons.
It is stated that 2,000 , acres , roughly es
timated , are given over to the raising of
sugar beets.
Norfolk with her ndvantageous loca-
tiou , representative busiuess mou , felici
tous surrouudiugs nud unbounded re
sources , while now enjoying unmeasured
prosperity nnd progress , is destined to
roacli n goal far beyond her present
limitations nud in the achievement of a
prominence to bo hers , bring upon herself -
self the commercial recognition of th
vast aud growing dominion tributaiy to
the vigorous queou city of uortheastt-ru

Rushing Niobrara Bridge.
Piling for the Fremont Elkhoru nud
Missouri Valley railroad company's
bridge across the Niobrnrn river at
Niobrara is being driven. The Verdi
gris crook is full of piles which have
been floated down from the town of
Vordigrio. In the construction of the
bridge 11.3,000 feet of piling aud 8,000,000
feet of dimension stuff will be used.
In order that the work beyond the
river may bo rushed to complete the
line before the opening of the Rosebud
reservation strip false work will be
erected aud trains with bridge material ,
rails and ties run over this.
The grade the entire length is receiv
ing the finishing touches aud the laying
of rails will bo begun in a week or two.

A RAILROAD STORY.
B. & M. to Fill the Connecting Link
Between Erlcson and O'Neill ,
The following railroad story from the
Sioux City Tribuuo will prove of interest.
For n long tiuio it has beon'tho hope of
many Norfolk people that souio day the
13 , & M. would extend its Sohuylor line
to this place , aud from horojto Yankton ,
connecting there with the Great North
ern , but if the link between Ericsou aud
O'Neill is built , and a Btudy of the
map shows its plausibility , it is likely to
bo a long time before the B. & M. outers
thin olty. The story printed lu the
Tribune follows : "Sioux City railroad
men have expressed much iutorest iu
the St. Paul special in The Tribuuo of
last evening , saying that Burlington-
Great Northern systems nro to bo con
nected by n line from O'Neill to Erlosou ,
Nob. Opinion is that the connection is
likely to bo made thin season.
"It has boon expected for years that
this oouucctiou would bo made , " said
railroad mail. " before
cmo "Long any
body dreamed of the consolidation of
Great Northern property , it was gen
erally believed the Burlington would
extend north from Ericsou to O'Neill.
Several times it was understood they
were on the point of doing so. Reasons
for doing it at that time were good
enough ; now , with the two systems
uudor ono general control , there is
much more reason to expect the de
velopment.
"Of course the Burlington dosn't like
to haul its Sioux City and St. Paul stuff
to Omaha aud turn it over to the North
western to bo hauled to Sioux City.
Neither does the Gront Northern like to
haul stuff from the north to Sioux City
nud turn it over to the Northwestern to
be hauled to Omaha. The link from
Ericsou to O'Neill would make a round
about route , but for heavy , slow freights ,
like lumber nnd conl , it would servo the
purpose. Freight from Omaha north ,
and from Sioux City south nnd south
west , destined to points ou the Bulington
system , could bo taken that way. It
would in souio measure fill the same
field that the Omaha Northwestern is
intended to fill ; that is , it would relieve
the Burlington aud Great Northern of
the necessity of using the Northwestern
up and down the rivor. "
Fish Stories.
Ray Nye went fishing yesterday and
claims to have caught 103 bullheads. In
addition to his work with the rod and
line , Mr. Nye says that ho made a good
record shooting turtles. He killed forty-
two amphibians nud the forty-third fell
dead out of bounds. Fremont Tribune.
The best bass catoh of the season was
made last Saturday by Homer Robinson ,
Garrett Hulst nud Homer Mnrtyu iu
Polauder lake , seven miles up the river.
Their total catch was about twenty
pounds , nud two of the beauties were
four-pounders. Columbus Telegram.
