erous Missouri River Wipe J
out Hopes of Promoters
Of Nebraska Cities.
This is the tale of the "lost 300,"
Nebraska's vanished towns.
It is a story of blasted hopes,
wrecked fortunes and weird and in-!
explicable vagaries of fate.
From the map of the state within
the last 65 years more than 300
towns have disappeared, completely
blotted out in a now obscure and
murky past. Corn fields spread over
land that might have been part of
busy downtown sections of new
metropolises of the west. Cattle graze
on land that might have formed
sites for towering office buildings.
Submerged in the waters of the
rambling Missouri river are building
lots which real estate speculators
Hattled to control in the early
boom days."
.Natural progress, greed and trick
rry, geographical conditions and the
wanderings of a shifty river are in
erminHcd as causes which plunged
'.he lost towns into oblivion.
Some were casualties of political
Nattles of early day county seat wars.
Legislatures "changed the locations
of county seats and towns became
townsites without population,.
River Blots Out Towns.
Some never were anything but
"dream towns." laid out fancifully
on paper to decoy eastern capital
into the pockets of pioneer western
real estate promoters. The bubbles
burst and investors were left sans
cash, tans, towns, but with a valu
able new f irnej of experience in un
certainties attending barter in town
site fantasies and "bright pros
pects." . 1
i Many of the missing towns 'are
now at the bottom of the wandering
Missouri.
The river changed its channel one
night and the residents of Omadi,
one of the populous towns of terri
torial days, awoke the next morning
to find town lots dropping into the
swift current. Citizens hastily aban
doned their' houses or moved them
onto farms In the uplands. The en
tire townsite had been gobbled up
by the river within a year. Omadi
was located almost opposite the pres
ent site of Sioux City, la.
Logan, a prosperous Decatur
county town in the late '50s, was an
other victim of the Missouri. The
river in one pi its weird shifts of
current began tindermining the
townsite. Five years later all the
inhabitants had left and most of the
buildings had slid into the river. ,
U. P. Chose Omaha.
Brilliant prospects for -future
growth of Decatur, Burt county, also
were blighted by refusal of the Mis
couri to."ctay put" in its channel.
Decatur was once seriously consid
ered as the point of crossing for the
Union Pacific railroad. When the
river showed signs of absorbing the
townsite railroad officials shifted
their plans and chose Omaha instead.
The river current continued its en
croachments and most of Decatur's
old town lots are now under water.
Thre other towns of pioneer im
portance because of being located at
advantageous fording places on the
river were chased into the uplands
by changes in the current and died
lingering deaths.
Among the more important of the
pioneer dream towns which flour-
v . S. 1 7 T a It
cities of the iuture in the minds of ;
i i i i j .
credulous investors was Little York,
located on Goodson's island in the
Missouri river opposite Nemaha
county. It was blotted out one day
when a tiver flood moved the island
several hundred yards downstream.
Little York and other paper towns
"
were born in the speculative periods
preceding 1857 and 1873. Eastern
capital clamored for investment in
the west and the demand was met
by creation of the "dream" towns
under careful direction of uncsctupu
lous real estate promoters, who
reaped a rich harvest while money
flowed to the west to "grow up
with the country."
Politics Plays Part
In Nebraska pioneer days -selection
of a town as a county seat
was believed often with reason to
insure the town's future prosperity
and growth. This situation led to
the founding of ftiany towns on sites
which seemed plausible as county
seat locations. Through political
"deals" and rival claims of several
towns for county seat honors, found
ers of many of these early towns
were disappointed. The county
seats went elsew't re and the towns
languished and in a few years dis
appeared. An i interesting story is told of
snappy action by the pioneer resi
dents of Osceola, county seat of
Polk county, now located three
miles from its original site. Ac
cording to the story, citizens re
ceived a tip another townsite com
pany was attempting to have the
county seat located at the geographi
cal center of the county. The Osce
olans . defeated the attempt by
promptly moving their town the
three miles to the county center.
Archer, former county seat of
Richardson county, was blotted from
the. map by an early federal statute
' including it within bounds of a spe
cial reservation established for sev
eral score families df French half
breeds. A party of'French adven
turers had been among the early set
lers of Richardson-county. They
ad married Indian squaws- and
eared large families.
When the special reservation was
"tablished for them, the white resi
'ents of Archer refused to continue
live within the reservation and
.rcher was abandoned.
" "Towns Along Old Trail.
Many of Nebraska's lost towns
vere located along the old overland
Tails and went out of existence
. vlong with the arrival of the rail
roads. In the days of their glory
these towns dotted the routes of the
old Mormon trail and the California
trail blazed by miners who took part
in the; Pike's Peak gold rush.
The railroads also were respon
sible for vanishing of many other
towns which had a mushroom
growth for a few years. They dis
appeared when stations were desig
nated by railroad officials, who
often passed over exisfflig towns in
to obtain the Ereater real
tate profits incident to choosing en-
Some other of the pioneer towns
have survived, but with the glamor
and glory of early days much
dimmed. Fort Calhoun, Washing-
ton county, site of the Lewis and
the i,.dian.
IfllH, was 111 me eariv ws mc luuu-
ty sojjt and a town of 1,200 persons.
It was a contender for choice as
capital when Nebraska territory be
came a state. Its prosperity lasted
about seven years. When the raily
roads passed it by and the capital
failed to come its way it dwindled
into a hamlet.
Omaha Conquers Florence.
Fontenelle, another . Washington
county village, was a one time the
flourishing county seat of Dodge
f """J
1 he legislature changed
the county lines one session and
threw the town into Washington
county, where it was overshadowed.
Omahans are familiar with the
story of the rise and fall of Flor
ence and Belleyue, both of which
were at one time much larger than
Omaha. For many ' years it was
dar.btful whether Florence or Omaha
would win in the race for growth.
Selection of Omaha as the site for
the Union Pacific bridge across the
Missouri turned the scales and Flor
ence for several years was left al
most a deserted yillage.

Prominent Physicians Report
on Wonderful Remedy
to Strengthen Eyesight
i i i i
Doctors Bickstein, Lewis, Smith, Lenahan, Sceery, Connor and Man
Others Agree Bon-Opto Strengthens Eyesight 50 Per Cent, in
One Week's Time in Many Instances.
New York. At last the good news
can be published which will bring joy
and. happiness . to those who aufff r from
poor eyesight, weak, watery, inflamed
painful, itching, aching eyes. There is
real b.op for those who are ruining their
eyes by wearing misfit glasses and thou
sands who wear glasses and think th"y fit
because they see well will be able to throw
them away and see better without thm.
Doctors throughout the country are rapidly
taking up this Bon-Onto method of eye
strength building and they enthusiastically
indorse it principles and wonderful ef
ficacy. Here wo publish fer the benefit of
the public extracts from doctors' report
which mut convince any reasonable per
son that Bon-Opto method is one of the
greatest medical discoveries of modern
times.
Doctor Lewis reports; "Just one five
grain tablet of Bon-Opto, which can be
purchased at any drug store, dissolved in
one-fourth glass of water and used free
ly as an eyewash two to four times daily
sharpens the vision, relieves fatigue, eon
gestioa and- inflammation. If you wear
glasses, if you are a victim of aching,
inflamed, tired or watery eyes there is
hope for you if you follow the Bon-Opto
method." ,
Doctor Lenahan reports: "I have
thoroughly tried the Bon-Opto method
in catarrhal conjunctivitis, blepharitis
pannus, exophthalmic goitre and several
other inflammatory conditions of the
eye. In every case it has given eminent
ly satisfactory results, and I feel justi
fied in recommending it to the public
and profession as a preparation of merit
with a wide field of usefulness."
Doctor Sceery reports: "I have tried
Bon-Opto method in a number of cases,
bv) I ean truthfully state that it Is the
vSsV best treatment for the eyes I have
ever used. It works more quickly than
anyth'ng I , have ever prescribed. The
formula is an excellent one, and I am
Sure that when the public .realizes what
a wonderful remedy it is, and how es
sential eye-bathing is, Bon-Opto will be
universally used."
Doctor Smith reports: "1 have treated
a number of serious opthalmic diseases
with Bon-Opto method and ft gives me
great pleasure to report ultimate recov
ery in both acute and chronic cases. Mr.
B. came to my office suffering with an
infected eye. The seriousness of the
condition was quite apparent and an op

a tumor) seemed imperative. Before re

Scottsbluff Looks Down on Industrial

From the summit of Scottsbluff,
towering 4,666 feet above sea level,
and the highest point in Nebraska,
one may see Laramie peak, 165 miles
to the west, and- Chimney rock, 25
j miles to the east, where the bend of
the North Platte river around the
end of the Wild Cat range of hills
cuts off the view in that direction.
From the summit ' of the mountain
'for it is a mountain, and not a bluff
one may see nine prosperous little
cities.
From the summit of this same
mountain -tine may now see the smoke
pouring from the stacks of four im
mense sugar factories. A year from
now the number will have been in
creased to five, perhaps six.
On October 9, just 30 years ago,
the first bag of sugar made in Ne
braska came from the centrifugals.
of the factory at Grand Island. Wrhen
the five sugar factories now in op
eration in Nebraska shall have com
pleted their 1920-21 campaigns, near
ly 200,000,000 pounds of Nebraska
sugar will be on the market.
Eleven years ago thii past sum
mer, neither a ton of sugar beets
was raised nor a pound of sugar
produced in the North Platte Val
ley. In 1910 the Great Western Su
gar company began the erection of
a sugar factory at Scottsbluff. It
was a success from the start, and so
profitable did thi irrigation farmers
of the valley find beef rasing to be
that they soon compelled the sugar
company to erect a factory at Ger
ing. ,The Gering factory had its
first campaign in 1917. That year
the same company erected a factory
at Bayard and it made its first cam
paign in 1918. Still the beets came
rolling in, and the same company has
just completed a factory at Mitchell,
which is now making its first cam
paign. 7,000 Acres in Sugar Beets.
This year a fraction more than

lids or tear ducts."
Doctor Judkins reports: "Bon-Opto la
a remarkable remedy for the cure and
prevention of all ordinary eye disorders.
Its marvelous suceess in developing and
strengthening the eyesight will soon
make eyeglasses 'old-fashioned.' "
Doctor Connor reports : "Bon-Opto
method has rendered a service little short
of miraculous. I found my eyes remark
ably strengthened, so much so I have laid
aside my glasses without discomfort. Sev
eral of my colleagues have also tried it
and we are agreed its results are astonish
ing. In a few days the eyes of an astig
matic ease were so improved that glasses
have been discarded by the patient."
Doctor Bickstein reports: "The re
markable reults I have obtained from
the use of Bon-Opto in my practice and
upon myself cause me to feel that in jus
tice to other eye sufferers I should ac
quaint the publie with the really mar
velous action of this solendid eye medi
cine. Case No. S, J. W., age 43: expert
accountant: complained of sore, irritated
eyes. The lids felt gritty and heavy,
especially at morning and night. His
eyes were fitted with glasses, but no
relief was obtained. I prescribed Bon
Oto. After one week's treatment he
tells me he cannot recall when his" eyes
troubled him less."
And so the startling reports continue
to come In. If yon wear glasses, if you
are bothered with poor vision, make yp
your mind to give Bon-Opto method a
trial. You will be surprised and pleased
with the quirk results it gives. Even
very old people find great comfort In the
use of Bon-Opto. ' It is, absolutely harm
less, even to the most sensitive eyes.
The formula is plainly printed on every
package, and your own physician will
tell you It is perfectly safe and pleasant
to use. Its continued application will
strengthen he eyesiicht and prevent
.many serious eya diseases which are
liable to weaken the vision and may
finally result in blindness. Do not per
mit anything, no matter how important,
to cause you to neclect your eyes. Take
care of them now before it is too late.
Many hopelessly blind , might have been
saved if they had - cared for their eyes
in time.
NOTE. A city physician to whom the
above article was submitted said: "Bon
Opto is a remarkable, harmless remedy. Its
constituent ingredients are well known to
eminent eye specialists and widely pre
scribed by them. The manufacturers guar
antee it to strengthen the eyesight 50 per

beets, for which the company will

large force of skilled men will be
retained in each factory to get every
thing in shape for the next cam
paign. When a sugar factory begins
a campaign it never stops a w;heel
until the last "pan" is run through
the centrifugals, and this intensive
work naturally puts machinery "to

15,000 Bags Daily.
When one remark that the Ne
braska sugar factories' will make
200,000,000 pounds of " sugar from
this year's beets, it does not mean
much. The figures ar(e too big to
be easily grasped. But here is an
other way of putting it:
Jivery 24 hours the ftve sugar fac
tories in Nebraska are turning out
about 15,000 bags of granulated sug
ar, each bag weighing 100 pounds.
The Gering, Mitchell and 'Bayard
factories are 1,100-ton mills. That
is, each one slices 1,100 tons of
beets every 24 hours. The Scotts
bluff factory is a 2,200-ton mill.
What the sugar industry is doing
for the North Platte valley is read
ily seen in the population statistics.
The sugar beet is responsible for
the fact that Scottsbluff county
gained 149 per cent in population
during the last 10 years, and that's
the record for Nebraska. During that
same decade Scottsbluff gained 390
per cent, Gering 400 per cent, and

during that same period irrigated
farms in the valley increased from
an average of $125 an acre to an
average of $300 an acre, and land

Trainloads of Beets.
The beet crop this year is the best
in the history of the industry in the
valley. Not only is the tonnage per
acre the heaviest, but the "sugar
content" is the highest. The weath
er has been remarkably fine during
the harvest and another two weeks
will see the beets all out of the
ground, and either siloed for future
delivery or piled in huge windows
at the factories. Two freight crews
are hauling beets by the trainload to
the Gering factory every day. ,The
same is true at Bayard. One crew
is working at Mitchell and four
crews are working at Scottsbluff.
And in addition to this beet delivery
from 350 to 400 wagonloads are
driven over the scales at the big mill
in Scottsbluff. And the men who
drive these beet wagons draw the
paltry wage of $10 a day and their
board and washing! The beet top
pers in the' fields draw the same
meager wage, Factory wages run
from S3 cents to 90 cents "an hour,
right-hour shifts. with foremen and
subforemen drawing proportionately
more.
The opening of the .sugar cam
paign in the valley sure puts busi
ness to booming. The payment of
more than $10,000,000 for beets in
side of 60 days from October 1 puts
a lot of money into circulation in
business channels. This may explain
why everybody, especially ' the mer
chants, ere wearing broad smiles.
The only idle men in the valley are
those who are either too lazy to work
or able to live on their incomes.
Shows There Is a Chance.
Edward Blank mined coal in Illi
nois for a quarter .of a century and
saved tip about $1,000. He came to
the valley two years ago last spring
and was persuaded to buy an "80"
that will be under irrigation in an
other year. He agreed to oay $67.50
an acre, the thousand down and the
balance on long time. He hired a
man to break it out and seed it in
wheat a year ago last month. Then
he went back to the mines for the
winter. Last July he came out to
help harvest his wheat. He threshed
2,358 bushels from the "80" and sold
it for $4,920. Breaking, seeding, har
vesting, threshing and delivering to
the elevator cost him $1,185, includ
ing his own wage at $8 a day for the
time he was in the field. Now Mr.
Blank is digging coal again, but it
will be his last winter in the mines.
Hf will own that "80" clear by next
spring and the day the irrigation wa
ter is turned on it each and every
acre of it will be worth $300.
Of course, Eddie Blank merely
grins and walks on when he hears
that old plaint, "There ain't no more
chance no more a-tall for a poor
man in this dountry."

Aged, Wrinkled Faces
Easily Rejuvenated
An aged face is often only a mask to a
comparatively youthful person. Beneath
is a countenance young and (air to look
upon. It's a simple matter to remove the
mask. Ordinary mercolized wax, to be
hnd at any draft-store, gradually absorbs
the worn-out surface nkin: in a week or
two the user has the loveliest pinky white
complexion Imaginable. An ounce of the
wax usually is nufficient to complete the
transformation. Jt is pat on at night like
cold cream and taken off in the morning
with warm water.
This remsrkable treatment is invariably
effective, no matter how muddysallow or
discolored the complexion. Freckles, moth
patches, liver spots, pimples, blackheads
and other cutaneous blemishes, naturally
vanish with the discarded skin.
To remove wrinkles and flsbbiness, here
is a recipe that cannot be to highly rec
