During the past season over Three Thousand 
persons (mostly farmers) visited by Excursion 
trains the B. & M. Lands in Iowa and Nebraska, 
and all express themselves surprised at the rapid 
settlement in both these states, and more partic¬ 
ularly the last mentioned. These Excursions 
were run under the management of the Land 
Dept. C. B. & Q. & B. & M. Railroad Companies. 
The dates and numbers carried were as follows: 
May 4th, 350; June 15th, 400 ; July 20th, 270; Aug. 
17th, 900; Sept. 28th, 600; Oct. 13th, 4S0. 
Many purchased land while out there, and scores 
will return and buy the coming year, as their trip 
has demonstrated to them this fact—that west of 
the Missouri, in the valleys of the Blue and Re. 
publican Rivers, is the “toss-” country for agri¬ 
culture and stock raising. It you anticipate tak¬ 
ing a trip west to purchase land, you should by all 
means go soon, while good selections can be had.
