It was simply incubating. Two years later it was born into territorfal existence and had only 600 white inhabitants. Why it should have in sisted on belng “bdrn” so prematurely doesn't appear, unless there were not of- fices to meet the demands of seckers. At any rate, it was accouched into territorial Individuality In 1854, with its little brood of 600. The perspective or background was composed of millions of buffalo that roamed the plains, or desert, feeding on the succulent grama grass; and also hordes of Indlans who lived on the plains and fed territorial Nebraska which was a purchase. individ- in Precedes condition being.

Louls or Calro, thence up the Ohlo, or by overland conveyance across the virgin plains or prairies of lowa to the Mississippl river and of Illinols to extending but very rare railroads whose proprietors were “moving westward” with their slowly ex- tending lines of iron. Not a rallway with- 1n hundreds of miles. Not a market for any products, menaced by Indians and isolation. Presto! What a Change. Presto! Here we are today a thrifty and splendid gateway city of 160,000 people. A converging center from all the east, north | and south, with our gateway opened for the commerce of the world to pass through into our great state and through it to the Mountain and Pacific Coast states and through them again over the trackless Pa- cific ocean to the Orient and its boundless markets. Where forty-elght years ago were only unbroken prairies on the east and ap- parently limitless desert plains to the westward, are now four great trunk lines of rallway direct (one of them the Chicago & Northwestern double track) from Omaha to Chicago, three trunk lines to the south, two trunk lines to the north, two trunk lines to the Black Hills, four trunk lines with their direct connections to the Paclfic ocean, besides a number of other indlzect but available lines in all directions, all converging on and diverging from this gate- way city. Markets In all directions and easily reached elther for the absorption of our product or to supply our wants. Here 18 DOW a great stato with 1,250,000 inhabit- ants. The buffalo and the Indian have given way to the march of civilization and to a population of enterprising - citizens. Hero we have created from our 49,177,600 acres within the area of Nebraska, 122,000 “farms’—that 18, local habitation for agri- culture embracing about 30,000,000 acres— the remainder of our area belng devoted to stock Interests, grazing and hay. Pr From theso “farms” and this stock range we-are producing in this year of 1902, fairly estimated, 200,000,000 bushels of corn, 40,- 000,000 to 50,000,000 bushels of wheat, 40, 000,000 bushels of oats, with proportionate crops of other grains, hay, vegetables, dairy, and poultry with their products. The adaptation of our soil and climatic con- ditions to the culture of sugar beets is concededly favorable and as a result we have three beet sugar factories with an ag- gregate capacity of about 1,600 tons per day, which means from 20,000,000 to 25,000,- 000 pounds of beet sugar per year in the state. The best and most successful of these factories is located at Norfolk in the north part of the state, the junction of & prin¢ipal branch with the main line of tho Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley rall- road. This Industry, although succestul and prosperous in this state already, is in the infancy of its possible development. There should be at least fifty, or twice fifty, equally large factories in the state, and even they could not supply the market demand. Another speclalty has been partially de- veloped In the growth of alfalfa. It seems the soll and other conditions are especlally adapted to the propagation of this erop and there are nmow over 250,000 acres of alfaifa in Nebraska. The crop yields three and four cuttings and aggrega.es from five to six tons per acre per year. It is most accept- able to and an excellent food for all stock. Even hogs live and thrive on it exclusively and hogs so grown have not thus far been known to suffer from so-called hog cholera. the Farms, Now, reduced to values, the following is & fair estimate of the values of the prod- ucts of the state for the year 1902: The corn crop will The wheat crop will yleld at least. 21,600,000 | ereated a government which ultimately re- JRe okt crop WiLl yiela at least....

Unigque Exposition Record. The state of Nebraska, when her chiet city of Omaha undertook to give an ex- | position, stood solidly behind the city and promoted and sustained the mdst successtul great exposition ever given in the United States, excepting only the great World's Fair and Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. The local pride of this riate was Involved and the whole people stamped approval by their attendance. Its reputation extended throughout the nation and drew erowds from nearly every state. Its management was on such broad, liberal methods that its success was unprecedented and its history stands out unique in the history of great expositions in the world, having pald its stockholders 90 cents on the dollar, within 10 per cent of par on all subscriptions in its aid. No other exposition has ever pald over 12 per cent of such subscriptions and yet the Transmississippi Exposition w: concededly a “national affair.” So ideally fine and complete was it that not only the president of the United States and his cab- inet, but many distinguished Americans and foreigners were its patrons. Today the state is the abode of wealth, varied industries, culture, education and refinements. Prosperity rewards industry abundantly. Its history, though brief, has recorded some very interesting national events and Incidents. Its early history is sociated with the events which culminated in the greatest war known to the world. It was once the home of the great Mormon leader, who was seeking to establish a gov- ernment within a government, an inde- pendency within an independency In the nation.
