The Lands of the Union Pacific Railroad Company are the odd numbered Sections for 
twenty miles on each side of the road. They are located in the valley of the Platte and its 
tributaries—a region widely celebrated for its beautiful scenery, ricli productive soil, and 
niild and healthful climate. The winters are short, and the atmosphere dry and invigorating. 
Epidemic diseases are unknown. The surface is undulating, covered with nutritious grasses, 
and watered- with numerous clear running streams. All the productions of the Eastern 
and Middle States are'grown witli success. Wheat and Corn are the staples, and it is well 
adapted to the cultivation of Fruit. For Stock-raising, in all its branches, these lands are 
Unsurpassed. The Union Pacific and its branch railroads furnish market facilities unequalled. 
Education is free. One-eigliteenth part of the entire area forms a permanent endowment 
of the Public Schools. Good Society, Schools, Churches, Post-Offices, Mills, Stores, and 
other advantages of civilization are enjoyed. 
The liberal provisions made for Education, the freedom from State debt, the rapidity with 
which this section is settling, the numerous towns and villages springing up, offering induced 
ments to the merchant, farmer, and mechanic; render this tract a most desirable location 
for the industrious man of limited means to secure a comfortable home, and acquire com¬ 
petence, independence, and position. 
These lands are granted directly to the Railroad Company. The title given to the pur¬ 
chaser is absolute, in fee simple, free from incumbrances.

chance with the capitalist to make a safe and profitable investment, one which can not be 
destroyed by fire or flood, a provision for future support, not affected by revulsions, or liable 
to the fluctuations of stocks.
