Tho Columbus Journal wants the poo

perity thoro which is ovMoneod by tho
county records It is this During
tho year 1800 just closed there was tiled
in tiio county dorks olllco 515 real os
tnto mortgages aggregating 50553131
During tho sumo tlino 708 real estate
inortftnKCH wero released amounting to
00lM 10 By this it will bo scon that
Plat tocountyulono reduced its ninrtgugo
indebtedness sfJOI IU7K8 DuriiiK tho
year only eight moil gages in f orceins
uro wero tiled If ilatto county may bo
taken as a basis to inure from tho in
debtedness of tho state has been reduced
several millions of dollars
On our present acreage a normal corn
crop in tho United States means at least
2000000000 bushels An ndvanco of 1
cent a bushel means 20000000 a your

A Wonderful Dmclopiucnl
Attention is callod to tho article in
this issue containing statistics prepared
by Hon A J Borland of ths city
Mr Durlnnd has been to much
troublo in preparing this exhibit and Ids
desiro that it bo givon wido circulation
is commondablo
Sovoral important idoas aro presented
In tho first placo tho South Ilatto
country was sottlod at an early day tho
old trail loading to tho west in
tho days of tho California oltl ox
oitomout having passed through that
torritory and an iuduconiont was thus
presented for tho establishment of towns
and homos along its route
Tlio introducnon of tho North Platto
country to the attention of tho people
nmy quite properly bo said to dato from
tho Black Hills gold exoitomont and it
was not until aftor this that settlers
began to tako up homes in this section
It is theroforo tho nowost country and is
yet far from boing fully developed It
does not roquiro a very old porson to
romouiber when it was all virgin torri
tory nud while thoro iB still a vast aero
ago of unimproved laud a child can al
most recall tho time whon this uuim
proved torritory vastly exceeded tho im
proved
Tho statistics prosouted thoroforo show
n remarkable growth
By roferritig to tho tables it will bo
seen that in tho matter of population
tho gain lias been largoly in favor of tho
North Platte country Tho population
of tho South Platto in 1800 was 400100
nud of tho North Platto t 10120 In
1808 tho estimated population of tho
former was 413000 nud that of tho latter
was estimated nt 450025 showiug a
gain in tho first iustunco of 12804 and
in tho latter a gain of 110100 Tho
Nortli Platto population thou exceeding
that of tho South Platto by 4702
In tho acreago cuhvated tho Nortli
Platto country shows a gain of 1517811
acres while that of tho South Platto
shows a gain of 1 0S1 2111 in tho six years
These itoms aro not us remarkablo as
tho value of tho products In 1801 tho
valuo of tho North Platto products is
given at 1510000125 whilo in 1807
their valueis 3010182010 a gain in
tho six years of 1100102180 ornoarly
double
In tho South Platto tho valuo of
produots in 1801 was 2202547500 and
in 1807 11120881719
It will bo noticed that the gain in valuo
was largo in both instances but tho
North Plattoexceeded tho South Platto
by 040808200
Tho gain in value c f tho products of
tho South Platte country is lurgely duo
to tho prevailing prosperity ami incrers i
of prices geuerally and that of the
North Platte combiues witli tho in
creased prices a lurgufloaut increase
in development
Tho superior advautngo of North
Platto farming lauds ovor that of tho
South Platto in tho matter of production
shows a fertility in favor of tho tormer
that wouH scarcely bo bolioved wore it
not for the figures that prove it The
nverago value of tho product per acre in
tho North Platte country in 1897 wns
7 53 and that of tho South Platto 503
nu advantage in favor of the former of
250 per aero In view of nil this it is not
surprising that farm lauds in tho terri
tory tributary to Norfolk uro command
ing attention iu tho real estate market 8
of the country Nor in view of tho
entire exhibits is it astouhhi jg h it some
bhould claim that wo uro experiencing
an era of prosperity au good prices
Interesting conipuisuis might bo
made between each sepuuta product of
tho two sections The figures are pre
sented and thosa who desire may niuko
them
