Sixth Because a large number of business men are now preparing to move there and have ample capital to carry on business. Seventh.

Because the town is located where the north branch of the Smoky Hill river crosses the main line of the railroad, at which point the proposed Smoky Hill Valley branch of the Union Pacific railroad intersects and crosses the main line going north thus giving the town the advantage of being located at the junction of both roads.
