Situated on the Burlington Alliance-Bridgeport line near the north edge of Morrill county is the village of Angora, the third town of importance in the county. Its territory is the Good Streak country to the west, where ciryfarming is practiced to considerable success, and a prosperous community is the result; while to the east stretches the great sand hills, where thousands of cattle graze. This town is well represented in mercantile lines, and has churches, schools and other community conveniences, including banking facilities. For the period of its existence it has dreamed of the "Burlington Cut-off" a proposed line from Angora to Scottsbluff, cutting off both grade and distance. This proposed line they also anticipate will be extended into the sand hills to Anselmo and O'Neill, putting the town upon the shortest line east and west from the Missouri river to the great North Platte valley.

Broadwater

It is quite probable that the people of Broadwater will challenge the claim of Angora to third place in commercial importance in Morrill county. Having no assembled figures, the historian will leave that to rival claims. True it is, Broadwater is situate in the heart of an excellent irrigated community, and the adjacent tables are the harvest scenes of some of the best dry-farming in the state. George W. Berge, twice candidate for governor of Nebraska, and once for attorney general lives near Broadwater, and has a splendidly equipped modern farm. The village is situate upon the Union Pacific North Platte valley branch, or Medicine Bow cut-off. The place has ample backing and mercantile facilities, churches, schools, and the like, to make it a live community center. The Kings, the Smiths, the Wehns and the Beerlines are among the families that have helped to make Broadwater an enterprising town, and a good place to reside.
