When you see the name of
George
Washington
you are reminded of the cher
ry tree and hatchet incident.
Q. W. waa once a surveyor. John P. Hazard is a surveyor. J. P.
also sometimes tells the truth. In the pioneer days he told the
people that the southeast corner of Box Butte county was at a
point locally known as "badger hole." In 1898, some other
surveyors and lawyers made the court believe said corner was
located in a "pocket" about three-fourths of a mile away and
it was so ordered.
The government surveyors, after making a thorough examination and
re-tracing of the old lines, have re-located said corner at the
same old "badger hole" and say they have no doubt about its
being correct
This is an advertisement and the point is, if you have
a surveying problem with a knot in it better send
for the old "ex' (and candidate for) county surveyor
