     Banner County News
Harrisburg, Neb., Feb.8--(Special to The Bee)-- Advance
parties of the Sioux City & Pacific were in the county
last week. Bonds have been voted in aid of this road at
Broken Bow, and Harrisburg is on an air line from the 
Bow to Ogden, which is the road's coarse. Harrisburg has
a natural rock bed and everything looks favorable for
getting the road.
  The back one of winter is completely broken here, and
hundreds of farmers are plowing in the fields. Wheat
sowing will commence in a week or two. The prospects for
a good crop in this part of the country were never 
better. An immense amount of snow fell this winder and
has thoroughly soaked the ground. Everyone looks forward
to a splendid year.
   There is but little free government land left here, but
numbers of claims can be purchased in the county at
reasonable prices. Any information can concerning Banner
county will be gladly furnished by the board of trade
here.
   A great many people here join with your Logan county
correspondent in denouncing the new land district scheme.
If the new districts are created as now proposed, hundreds
of people will have increased difficulty in getting to
the land office, while only dozens will be benefitted,
and those not to any great extent. At any rate it would
be decidedly unjust to include any portion of Banner
county in the alliance district. We speak only for
ourselves.
   Harrisburg is one of the growing towns of western
Nebraska. Building operations have continued right
through the winter and there will be a large and 
healthy growth during the summer.
