Cattle Values
in State Vary
One County to Protest Equalization
Board-Assessments Higher
Figures in the East. ,
Are. cattle in Nebraska worth an
average price of $52 per head, count
ing in adult animals and calves, pure
blooded, stock and scrubs on the
range, fine dairy herds and plain
beef steers? ...
If that is a fair figure the state
board of equalization will be able
to justify its assessment of cattle at
$39.44 apiece for the state as a
whole, : that being approximately 75
per. cent of the market value, ;the
ratio at which property in general
is said to be valued for taxation. ,
Only one county In the state has
manifested discontent with ;the
board's action raising cattle 10 per
cent over the returns made by
county assessors in order to bring
them up to tt at basis. The Stanton
countyrboard has given notice of its
intention 5 to appeal therefrom to the
Supreme court. '
A wide variation in the assess
ment per animal is found in differ
ent counties, but Stanton's is by no
means the highest. .There are 25
counties in' which bovine stock is
listed- above the $44.26 fixed for
Stanton.' Three of these are coun
ties whfch border it on three sides -Madison,
Wayne and- Cuming. : : In
Madison county the irate is $44.28;
in Wayne, " $46.24, and in Cuming,
$45166: ;
' Reasons for Difference
In a state1 spreading out over 400
miles east and west and approximate
ly 200 miles north and south, with
a wide variation of soil, climatic con
ditions,' vegetation and altitude, here
is bound to be great diversity, in
agricultural products and live-stock.
Well-developed farming territory,
such as that in eastern Nebraska
naturally produces - more purebred
and high' grade cattle than' .the
ranching- territory further west,
where beef animals run at large a
good' portion of the year and re
ceive no such attention as that' be
stowed upon milk herds and breeding-Stock
in the eastern area.
Another factor which' enters into
the value of cattle is proximity to
live- stock - markets. ' -'-" Here, again
eastern Nebraska has the advantage.
This is undoubtedly the reason and
the only reason, why Sarpy county,
which is right in the back yard of
the' South Omaha stock yards and
packing-houses, has the highest as
sessed valuation of cattle In the state
5 5.9 4 per head, or -20 per cent
more than Stanton. "
These other counties also are rated
Higher thair Stanton ; in the state
board's tabulation: V , -"-
- Boone, Burt, Cass, Dixon, Douglas,
Fillmore, Greeley," Hall, Hamilton,
Howard, Jefferson, Johnson, Lancas
ter, Nance, Nemaha, Otoe, Polk,
Thayer, Washington and York. '
Gage and Seward, besides, ara
only a shade " below Stanton, and
quite a number are assessed within
a dollar a head as much.
All the counties, without excep
tion lie east of the 99th meridian,'
which Is seemingly the boundary
line for lower priced classifications.
Biggest Bovine Wealth.
Because of its immense size . and
the . great herds of range cattle fed
within , its boundaries. Cherry conn
ty is far ahead of all others in the
number' of . animals assessed and the
total valuation "placed upon them
aunougn its average per neaa is
only $35.12. It has over 180,000
bovines, valued at more than $6,-
200,000. : - :.' . .
This-exceeds Custer, its nearest
competitor, by more than two to one
both, in numbers and value. Custer
is . credited on . the grand assessment
roll with almost 82,000 cattle at
gross worth of slightly above $2,
950,000-. -' The average per head is
$3 6.04. : - : . . ;
Next-come in order, Holt, Cuming,
Lincoln - and Sheridan;. Of these;
Cuming; is the only eastern county
and the only one rated above the
state average of- $39.44 per head.
Its rating of . $45.66. is due to the
large number , of breeding and dairy
cattle raised there, while in ? the
other counties, named, ranch .stock
predominates' and brings down the
average value.

A strange man. who has been in
the Nebraska City hospital for the
past three weeks suffering from
broken ribs sustained when his cat
which he was trying to crank started
in gear and ran over him, was -passing
through Plattsmouth Tuesday,
when the same car gave a couple
coughs and stopped. Luckily he was
directly in front of the barber shop
owner by O. P. Smalley and Mr,
Shialley seeing the precidament
which the man was in, went out and
with the help of his nephew, Rus
sell Payne, soon had the old relic
back in running order, sending the
old man rejoicing on his way. He was
bound for Davenport, Iowa, where he
would stay a few weeks with his
brother before going on to Illinois

Fire Hits the
Business Section

Estimate Loss at $35,000 Occupants
cf Building Barely Able to
Make Their Escape.
Alliance, Neb., Aug. 20. Fire of
unknown origin swept through the
second floor of a large business block
owned by W. D.. Rumer, causing
loss estimated at more than $35,000
here Tuesday. The fire spread rap
idly from room to room, terrorizing
occupants of the building .some of
whom barely escaped to the street
after flames had cut off their retreat
down a back stairway.
Mrs. Alice A. Poer, a waitress who
roomed on the second floor, discov
ered the blaze after she had been
awakened by a crackling noise. She
entered the hallway to find flames
spreading from a vacant room where
furniture had been stored. She beat
on the doors of other tenants, noti
fying them of the fire and all made
a hasty exit down, the smoke filled
corridor to a front stairway.
. The fire had gained great head
way before discovered and firemen
battled for three hours before bring
ing- it under control.
The store of Rulers, Inc., contain
ing large stocks of women's wearing
apparel, suffered the heaviest loss
The G. F. Leiter department store
was damaged to the extent of sev
eral thousand dollars by smoke and
water. -. .
Tuesday's fire is the second disas
trous blaze in the Rumer block in
recent years. Two and a half years
ago fire gutted the ladies' wear shop
of Abe Isaacson in the same building
with a loss of $35,000. State Jour

THE WORLD USES TELEPHONE
Though the United tSates has 59
per cent of the world's telephones and
the rate of expansion continues about
the same year after year, the per
centage, as compared with which
-previously have been backward.
This is a good sign. Development
and perfection, through American
engineering and executive genius, of
world-wide telephone - communica
tion, has opened a hitherto closed
door to better foreign relations, and
understanding between peoples.
Americans want the rest of the
world to progress. And as the num
ber of telephones in foreign places in--creases,
the great web of communica
tion wires that is binding the civil
ized world together in importance
and possibilities for progress.
ROADS FOR THE FUTURE
It is common for roads that were
built a comparatively few years ago
to become dangerous because of the
amazing Increase in motor travel.
Narrow surfaces, overly steep hills
and unbanked turns constitute a ser
ious menace in these days of con
gested, high speed traffic.
Progressive communities are pro
tecting their own futures by build
ing wider roads to care for the still
greater traffic of tomorrow. It is said
on good authority that all highways
of importance should be broad enough
to carry two lanes of traffic in both
directions.
Even in rural districts, where ex
pense of road building is preeminent,
low cost oil and asphaltic surfaces
are providing the farmer and rural
dweller with high grade highways,
reasonable to build and maintain. In
this modern age, civilization follows
the highway and a community with
insufficient or poor roads must exist
in an undeveloped state.
