MANUFACTURING.

A City of Whirling Wheels and Busy Workmen.

Complete List and Summary of Lincoln's Industries-A Solid Foundation for Wealth.

Room for More.

The maufacturing interests of Lincoln are also quite extensive when one takes into consideration the age of the city, though as in the wholesale business, there is a great deal of room for vast improvemrnt. Not only are there plenty of desirable locations and an abundance of room in a commercial way for factories additional to those already established here, but especially are there choice openings for new enterprises of many sorts which would find a ready and profitable sale for their products.

Owing to the manner in which Lincoln is laid out and the evenness of the ground from the center to the most remote extremity, choice sits for the locations of factories of any kind or dimensions can be cheaply and readily secured, besides all worthy industrial enterprises seeking a location at this place will not only receive encouragement and support, but will be given immediate and substantial aid from citizens. Many new enterprises have taken advantage of this fact during the past year and many more will do so in the near future. As is sown in other places in this issue the facilities for shipping goods from Lincoln are far ahead of those afforded her rival cites and the fact that nearly all goods shipped into the state must pass through Lincoln to reach their destination will of itself demonstrate to the most callous observer Lincoln's superiority as a shipping point. Besides purchasers will not pass right through Lincoln to cities beyond when they can procure the goods they want right here. There are many manufacturing interests that could be established here and that would only depend upon their own exertions as to the amount of business they should do.

Those who are fortunate and foresighted enough to take advantage of these facts and appear early on the field and establish a trade in this rich, growing and rapidly developing country will have the gratification of seeing their business enlarge accordingly. Among the many factories for which there are especially good openings here and that could find ready sale for their produce are: Woolen mills, oatmeal mills, barbed wire factories, linseed oil mill and beet sugar works. Any or all of these and many others could be established here on splendid locations with but little cost, as cheaply maintained as in any western city and with pecuniary results that could not be excelled anywhere.

Lincoln Beats Chicago.
Lincoln stands 51st among the cities of the United States. In percentage of increase she stands third at 326.76 per cent. Omaha is first 357.19 per cent and Los Angeles second at 349.82 per cent. Chicago at the age of Lincoln had about 300,000 people, while Lincoln has 55,000. In 1830 Chicago had 70 people; in 1850 she had 29,963. Up to date Lincoln has beaten Chicago's record badly.

Beside the Platte.

For the CALL.

Across the hills the sunset rays
Shine purple through the autumn haze;
The cattle hasten one by one.
Well knowing that the day is done;
They troop down thirsty to the brink
And of the limpid waters drink-
And as they drink
We stand and chat
In idleness
Beside the Platte.

With rippling sound the water low
Reflects the amber sunset's glow.
While touched with mellow autumn light
The hills stand forth in sunshine bright;
The golden rod and sumach red
Bend low beneath the cattle's tread-
With happy hearts
We stand and chat
In idleness
Beside the Platte.

The sun is set-Its splendor gone;
The shadows deepen; day is done.
The cattle long have drinked their fill
And strayed back slowly o'er the hill.
Yet still we watch the closing day
Drop into twilight still and grey;
While hand in hand
We stand and chat
In idleness
Beside the Platte.
