OFFICIAL PAPER
OR SIOUX COUNTY.
One Dollar Per Year.
Commencing January 2, 19
05, the Unit-entity of Nebras
ka offers a course of installat
ion in tbe principlea and
jirat tice of agriculture. The
course covers the subject of
soils, field orop, dairying
butter and cheeae making,
.breeds and judging of live
stock, diseases of farm anim
als, horticulture, shop work,
farm machinery, and English.
No examinations are required
ior entrance.
It would eeem that many
students from this county
should attend and take .ad
vantage of the instruction
offered, for the knowledge
gained will not only enable
young fanners to get better
returns from their land but
will also help them to save
money in carrying on farm
wort,
REFUSE TO PAY THEIR
TAXES.
The much boasted increase
in. railway taxation, which
the republican press pointed
to with pi ide before the elect
ion as one of iU groat acts,
has taken a Hidden change,
now that the election is over
All the roadr- in the state
have announced tneir in
tention to refuse to pay the
increased taxation in every
county in the state and as a
result the mum boaatea in
creased valuation will not be
collected without litigation
In Box Butte county this is
no exception. Last Saturday
a representative of the B. &
M . called on County Treasur
er Brennan and presented a
check for $7,000 as payment
on the assessed taxation
that road for $10,485.25, the
balance due amounting to
$3,485,25, to be contested in
the supreme court. Of course
the only alternate for Mr. Bre
iman was to refuse the propo
eition. So there you are
The voters can draw their
own conclusion as to which
party told the truth in the
recent campaign. Tow what
will the outcome be? The re
publican party has full con
trol of the state government
with a governor to back up
its proceedings. Will they
make the corporations stand
by the laws of the state or
not? Time will tell. Of
course it is now too late to cry
over spilt milk, but we'll ven
ture the assertion that more
than one voter who cast his
ballot for the element that
was victorious at the last
ekwtion will regret it If the
railways succeed in dodging
thU obligation, it will mean
a losa of many thotuand doll
art in the state treasury.
Bow many individuals could
do the like? AUlanoe Herald
