By ACT OF CONGRESS, the TJ. S. Government has 
granted to the BURLINGTON AND MISSOURI 
RIVER RAILROAD CO., nearly TWO MILLION 
ACRES of choice prairie and timber lands, lying in the 
south-half of Iowa and south-cast part of Nebraska. 
Through this healthy and rich region this great railway is 
now constructed 340 miles, and will be rapidly extended to, 
or near Fort Kearney, making its entire length about 500 
miles on an east and west line. 
These lands, mostly prairie, extend 20 miles north and 20 
miles south of the railway in alternate sections of G40 acres, 
and are sold at low prices in one or more tracts of 10 acres 
each, to suit buyers, on a long credit of 10 years at 6 per 
cent interest. For the first two years annual interest is re- 
quired in advance, and then, at the commencement of the 
third year, only one-ninth of the principal with annual and 
decreasing interest is payable, as per following example. 
Say, that 40 acres of land © $10 per acre = $100, is bought 
on long credit of ten years, on April 1st, 1S70, the payments 
will be due as follows: 
Interest. Amount 
April 1. 1870, pay 6 per cent interest on 
£400 $24 00 $24 00 
April 1, 1871. pay 6 per cent interest as 
before 24 00 24 00 
Then one-ninth of principal, as follows :

If SO acres are bought at $5 per acre, or if 160 acres are 
bought at $2.50 per acre, the payments will be due when and 
for the same amounts as on the above forty acres at $10 per 
acre.
