county seat and has a population of 750. It is beautifully situated on the
high benchland in the valley at the confluence of the Missouri and Niobrara,
Verdigre and Bazile valleys. It is the gateway to the Great Sioux
Reservation in Nebraska, which was opened with that of the Dakota, and
contains about 700,000 acres of excellent farming land. The improvements of
late are a magnificent school edifice, costing $7,000. A substantial iron
bridge costing $12,000, spans the Niobrara river at this point. It has well
graded streets and a perfect system of drainage. The town is entirely out of
debt. The Pork Packing House of B Bade is the principal industry, and the
only one in northern Nebraska. A brewery and canning factory are next in
importance. The Niobrara Valley Bank supplies all the funds necessary to
carry on the business of both town and county, Wm. Barnum is president and S
Draper, cashier. The leading hotel is the Hub bard house, Mrs. A. L. Towle,
proprietress, which is first class and very popular. The leading religious
denominations are the Presbyterian and Methodist Episcopal, both of which
have neat and attractive edifices. The Episcopal denomination is the only
other that has an organization. The Niobrara PIONEER and The Knox County
DEMOCRAT both represent the counties interest. The Chicago, Milwaukee &
St Paul Ry, (Iowa & Dakota Division), from the north and east terminates
at Running Water a point across the river. Mail daily from Verdigre. The C.
St. P. M. & O. R. R., is being extended from Randolph to this point,
about 75 miles. The Sioux City and Northwester Ry. Co., are also making
surveys with a view of continuing their line to Niobrara.
