is $10,000; half of this amount will be
paid by the state, under the provisions
of the state aid bridge law, and $2,600
by Holt county and $2,500 by Boyd
county. Work will be started upon

settlers of this county, last week sold

sih will move to this city to make his
future home and will either buy or
build a residence here. William says
that he has made what money he
has in this vicinity and he expects to
remain here the balance of his days.
Mr. Kellogg also purchased his stock
and farm machinery and he has put
a man on the place and now becomes a
tiller of the soil. This makes the
second ranch that Webb Kellogg has
purchased within the past four months
and if he keeps on he will become a
bloated land owner.

Official Vote of Holt County.
H. J. Hammond and J. H. Meredith
who were the official canvassers of the
vote cast in Holt county at the
primary election last week, completed
their duties last Monday afternoon
The vote was the largest ever cast iti
this county at a primary election,
2,930 votes being cast, or within 621
votes of the number cast at the general
election two years ago. It is
generaly believed that the propo
sition of voting $100,000.00 bonds
for building bridges, which was
voted upon at the electon, was re
sponsible for the great vote. That the
people were nearly unanimous in their
opposition to the bonds was shown by
the fact that they received but 249
votes, while 2,368 voters voted against
them.
The democratic party cast the
largest vote in the county, 1,(588, while
the republican party came next with
1,184. The populist party, which was
once supreme in this county, has
fallen to third place, casting but 21
votes. The socialist party came next
with 19 votes; prohibition 13 and pro
gressive 5.
