January they ordered the machinery
for this Industry but it was only a fow
days ago that delivery was made. A
temporary building was erected nnd
when sufficient machinery was re
eclved they began making brick. With
the completion of thp factory this fall
production will go to doublo tho
present output. '
Tho brick aro made from good old
Platto River sand mixed with cement
and water. Under a pressudb of eighty
thousand pounds tho mlxturo is form
ed into shapo and compressed so
solid that tho brick can bo handled
without danger of breaking or chang
ing their shapo. Thoy aro then pass
ed tp one of tho threo drying rooms
where they aro subjected to steam for
from 24' to 3C hours. Then they aro
taken to the storage room where thc
season tfor ten days or longer and
then thoy are ready to go Into the
wall.
From their own products, Harn &
Farrls will erect tho building for tho
pormanont factory. It will bo located
in the ton hundred block on east
Front Street where the temporary
building now stands. They aro now
making a face brick in any color de
sired' and a building brick in natural
colors.
Tho firm of Harn & Farrls Is com
posed of H. B. Harn and It. W. Farrls,
two young men well known to the
contractors and builders" of 'the city.
They completed the brick work on
the Lutheran Church, tlio Ilerrod
building and In the two years or mor?
that they have lived here they have
shown enterprise and business abil-
ity. The new Simon Bros, warehouse j
In tho same block is being built of
cement brick from this factory.

LAND VALUATION TO ME
25 INCREASE IN LINCOLN C0
idttU'FIKE GIRL'S
A predicted in theso, columns In our
last issuo tho State Board ot Equaliza
tion, meeting at Lincoln handed down
n decision on Tuesday that Lincoln
County real estato should bo raised
25 over tho formor tax valuation.
Tllb ilrst'idea was to ralso tho valua
tion 50 but tho Chamber of Com
morco Committoo and tho County
Commissioners wont to Lincoln and
showed tho error of this plan so plain
ly that tho Board reduced this raise
one-half. It is estimated that this will
mean a saving of $140,000 to Lincoln
County tax payers.
