HISTORY OF WESTERN NEBRASKA

Lorenzo

Lorenzo is near the Colorado line south of Sidney on the "South Table" as it is called, but is of little commercial interest, except as a shipping station. Its freight business is likewise handled by the Burlington agent at Sidney. The "South Table" did not come into importance until after the "North Table" had been settled. The first homesteaders were attracted north on account of the pine and cedar forests that covered the rough lands, supplying fuel and building materials for the first important needs.

Along the lodgepole valley on the Union Pacific railway, aside from Sidney, Lodgepole and Potter, there are in Cheyenne county a number of shipping points. Colton and Bronson are cared for by the agent at Sidney.

Sunol

Sunol has an individual identity, and its quota in the shipment of wheat in 1920 was one hundred and six cars, valued at about $250,000. It has a bank, stores and garage, being on the Lincoln Highway-

Government statistics put the total wheat product of Cheyenne county at 2,900,000 bushels for 1920. Shipments, however, were in excess of that amount. Conservative figures show a total of 2,111 cars of wheat shipped out, or about 3,100,000 bushels, and that represents but seventy percent of the crop. The other thirty percent on hand will bring a grand total yield in 1920 of around four and onehalf million bushels.
