where there Is the moat bountiful natural
rainfall. The reason for thla li not deep
or hidden, however. It la almply a me
of having" tht 'vsttr at all liuics while
and when It la wanted. A treat deal of
the development of this region may be
accredited directly and Indirectly to the
Union Pacific, the first road to Invade
this region.
Hardships far I'loaeera.
The pioneers who first settled these
states were obliged to Journey weary
distances, and an ox team or a pair of
mules or horses and canvas-covered wag
ons, were the only means of conveyance.
It used to take the mall coach thirty
days to make the run from Salt Lake to
Omaha, and the country swarmed with
Indians In many places along the route.
In any of the western states traversed,
there were no railroads; the river towns
on the Missouri river were better off by
reason of steamboat service, out this
was somewhat irregular .and not always
satisfactory.
The coming of the railroad brought
thousands of Immigrants, who reached
their destination cheaply, and these
brought under cultivation millions upiin
millions of acres of land. It also at

tracted men who developed the vast min
eral resources of gold, silver and copper,
coal,' iron, etc.- All the machinery needed
for mining had to be hauled by wagon at
great expense, and the quick, cheap and
sure service of tha railroad placed pro
ducers next door to the whole world.
And the people who raised all kinds ot
crops could now sell their produce 2,000
miles distant; even to European coun
tries. Nearly all the higher grade apples
raised in Oregon are now sold In Lon
don, where they command very high
prices.
Town Spring ITp.
As soon as the railroad came towns
sprang up almost over night; people
came from far distances to settle; great
acres of land were cultivated; the farmer
became sure of a market: a new and
vital energy developed along many lines
because the settlers were put In close touch
with the outside world; distance was no
longer thought of, for the railroad
brought their former neighbors to visit
them, carried their freight and took
them on Journeys which, were It not for
this strong friend, would have been as
Impossible as If they were held fast in
a wilderness.
. The Una of the Union Pacific passes
through a country full of Interest unpar
alleled for him who enjoys the beauties of
nature. Leaving Omaha one has first an
opportunity to admire the thriving towns
and cities of the great Cornhusker state
and meanwhile, to marvel at the fertility
ot its fields and valleys.

Crossing the border line Into Wyoming
he Is whisked through a wonderfully scenic
country, gaining an excellent view of Gran
y
ite Canyon, the continental divide and the
thousand and .one other sights of this
interesting western state., .Utah fur
nishes its. share of thrills 'for the sight
seer. Here one's admiration is attracted by
Castle Rock, Hanging Rock and the multi
tude of ether natural wonders with which
the country Is replete. At the same time,
for he who Is historically inclined, every
foot of the great ' route is pregnant with
Interest, having been the scene of many in
teresting Incidents in the life of the coun
try. One can also reach Ogden by another line
of tha Union Pacific, which runs from
Kansas City through Kansas and Colorado
and is as full of .interest a is the more
northerly route.

me Reasons
Why Travelers Use
Hie
Because its rails connect all important Western cities.
Its trains run on time with remarkable regularity.
i'
It "keeps up" its road bed, power and equipment.
Its passenger equipment is high-grade throughout.
Its dining car service is always reliable and of excellent
tone; it requires 40 dining cars and 430 employes of the
Commissary department to daily serve Burlington patrons.
It is the first railroad to generally light its through
trains with electricity; 72 complete sets of Burlington trains
are so lighted with a train electrician for each train.
The regularity of its fast mail and passenger trains, for
through runs ot from 500 to 1,200 miles over the Burling
ton rails, reflects the physical condition of the railroad and
the character of its organization.
