we have been through since leaving Salt Lake city. There is a fort near here. called Fort Russell, established in 1867, and was used during the last war. after leaving here the country looks better. saw some farms that had been ploughed, and places where they had grown some corn. and the snow has all gone now guess we will not likely see much more. at Pine Bluffs. is a line of Hills, knolls with scrub pine trees on. we crossed into Nebraska after travelling right across the southern part of the state of Wyoming at Kimbal Neb. at 2 p.m. must be celebration day, as there where bands playing. it was quiet a nice looking town. at Sydney Neb. at 310 Took a snap of back of train. seems to be a lot of grain grown here and lots of hay stacked in the fields. and thousands of cattle in the fields
