R. was built, durine the seamm nt emigrantation there was not a dav passed but thebottom"near the Loup was literally full of prairie schoon ers, herds of cattle, besides men, woman and children. That often trains of wagons 150 to 200 in number would be staying for the night, to be succeeded the nest night by still other trains. There was once a train of hand carts passed this way, as like wise one man trundling a wheel-barrow from Omaha to San Francisco.
