Milwaukee Develops
Fertile Areas of
the New Northwest
The opportunity that Uncle 6am has
Fiven persons to register for a chance to
draw & tract of land on the North Platte
forest "Reserve and tho military re ova
tion noar Valentine continues to prove
a bonanza for the railroads running out
In the direction of the land. Instead of
travel dropping off It continues to In
crease, while the railroad officials rake
In 'the cash.
For Instance, Into North Platte, one of
the registration points. Monday the Union
Paclflo hanrtV 1,700 persons, probably
nlne-tehths of them going to register.
Twenty-two extra coaches were prosaed
Into service. Burned grew to such an
extent that It became necessary to run
special from Grand Island to North
Tlatta, and this train carried S76 land
seekers gathered tip from points along
,the line and off the branches.
The Union Paclflo caught twenty-seven
JCansahs and ninety from Missouri, all
turned over nt Hastings by the Missouri
Pacific anil ured to the reserve by a
prospect of netting 640 acres of land for
praetlcallr nothing. That the rush Is
lllcelj- to continue and grow during the
balance of the week Is lndloated by the
fact that tho colonization department of
the Union Paclflo Is receiving letters by
the thousand, the writers all asking about
tha land that Is to be disposed of by the
lottery plan. Monday 600 letters were
reoelved and all but twenty-five were
from parties 'east of the Missouri river.
The deoartment has received more than
o.OOO letters from parties who wanted in
formation relative to the land and how
to get hold of a tract of It
Traffic Very Henry.
Tho Burlington travel has Increased to
buch an extent that it Is forced to run
Its train out of Omaha In the evening In
two sections. Monday nlght these two
trains carried twenty-four coaches from
Omaha and four more were attached at
Ittncoln. These two trains alone landed
a trifle less than l.X) persons at Broken
Bow Monday night. All other trains
from the east and west were heavily
loaded, and the Burlington figures that
Monday alono It took not less than 2,609
persons Intp Broken Bow. The average
fare per person Is said to have been al
most $S each way, making something
over $20,000 for the day's business grow
ing out of the land lottery.
The Union Pacific Is In receipt of a
wire from J. Cummins, ItH advertising
ngent, dated at noon, and he states that
the total registration at Norh Platte has
passed the 20,000 mark. Cummins has
jcone out to help passengers get straight
ened out. In sending word to headquar
ters he says that all parts of tho United
States aro represented In the mad rush
for land. Monday a woman from. Ven-
dleton, Qrc... registered, and fifteen mln
utesJater a, man from New York took a
shot on a chance for a farm.
Up to date the tallest, man to register
Is W. Q, Hlnes from Wilson, Kan. He
Is six feet ten Inches and able to look
oVer the jop of -tfio highest, sand hlUfbn
the reserve. '. .
Mnnr Women Registering;.
Women who register at North Platte
arc at about the 'ratio of one to sixteen.
Most qf them arc spinsters, though there
are a fair sprinkling of widows, and girls
who havo Just passed their twenty-flrst
birthday.
Tho men who sell gasoline are reaping
a harvest. The autos arriving at North
Platto average close to 300 per day, and
one dealer In gasoline Monday sold 800
gallons and at a slightly advanced, price.
It la said that tho hotels, rooming houses
and restaurant are giving the land seek
ers a square deal and are not pushing
up (rices, though ojt the eating places
the quality and quantity of food has been
cut to some extent This, however, Is
not making much difference, for generally
as soon as people register they catch the
first train out. The Union Pacific has
massed a large number of coaches .and
engines on the sidings, and as soon as
there are 'enough people loaded to Justify
the movement a special pulls out for the
east.

Missouri Pacific
Booming the Land
in Southern States
While tho cry for land Is at Its height,
the Missouri Paclflo has commenced a
campaign looking to getting people Into
the south. The work Is belrjg carried on
under the direction of D. E. King, tho
industrial commissioner of the road,
located In St. Louis. Just now ho is
turning his attention to Louisiana and
regarding the country, ho has this to say:
"Convenient markets having been
opened by tho extension of new lines of
railroad and the building of cities in the
midst of rapidly-growing Industrines, a.
change has been wrought In Louisiana's
agricultural practices. Diversified farm
ing has been Introduced and It Is fast
succeeding the old plantation system.
Intelligent effort applied to a few acres
In several crops will get more profit from
tho soli than enormous labor applied to
a large number of acres In one or two
crops. Tho small farmer, In other words,
has shown that under the new conditions
ho can make more money on his Invest
ment than tho large planter."
