COUNTY LAND VALUABLE
Holt county probably is the only
county in Nebraska to have the value
of its land judicially determined by the
courts of another state. Judge New
by of Sioux City, is the foreign judge
to render the decision. The judge
recently held in an action between
Weber Brothers of Sioux City and
Webb Kellogg of this city that land
north of Atkinson was worth at least
$45 an acre on the average, and prob
p.hly more. The case was one in which
Webb brothers sought to be released
foi the purchase of the McKathnie
ranch of 1760 acres from Mr. Kellogg
at a price of $45 per acre. The
Webers contend, and sought to prove
by witnesses, that the land was worth
not more than $18 or $20. The court
held that the land was worth at least
$45 and some of it more.

thirty-five, and an average attendance
of twenty-five. Our financial condi
tion is equal to the best of any school
of its size in the country, and the in
terest in the work is on the increase.
Much of the benefits derived by the
school is due to the active interest
taken in the same by Mr. and Mrs.
George Hansen. Although outsiders,
they have been with us several times
to help and encourage us.
The picnic began in the morning
with Sunday school at 11 a. m., which
was followed (with the most bountiful
repast the writer has ever been lucky
enough to participate in. Plenty of
iced tea and ice cold lemonade was
served to all.
After dinner a most excellent pro
gram was rendered by the primary
and junior classes in a most excellent
manner, and was well received by all.
Much credit is due to Mr. and Mrs.
Joe Kessler for the royal way in which
they treated everyone who came there,
and the work (which they did in a most
efficient manner to make the picnic an
assured success, and in addition to
that Mr. Kessler cleaned a portion of
his grove which enabled the picniciers
to move around in comfort, for which
we tender him our thanks.
There was over a hundred persons
there and they all enjoyed themselves
very much.
The expenses for the feed was $7.55.
Collection $6.55. Ice cream was served •
after the program in the afternoon.
Mrs. King, our efficient superintend
ent, is filling her position with credit
to herself and the school. To sum it
all up, our school has been parctically
built up out of nothing, and will soon
be able to show that it has accomplish
ed a definite object which is our goal.
