To those who are looking in the West for new homes, the 
lands of the 
Burlington & Missouri River Railroad 
IN NEBRASKA 
offer special and peculiar advantages. The lands lie in 
south-eastern Nebraska, adjoining the State of Iowa, and for 
soil, sub-soil, climate, water privileges, and for grain growing 
and stock raising facilities have no equals in the West. 
The sales of land made by this Company during the year 
1878 are equal to the combined sales of all the other land 
grants put together. A vast tide of people from the Middle 
and Eastern States has poured into this region during the 
last five years, and form a large and important element of 
the population. 
The titles are perfect, and the land passes to the purchaser 
free from every encumbrance. 
Full particulars are given on application to the 
Land Commissioner of the B. & M. R. R., 
at Burlington, Iowa, or Lincoln, Nebraska.
