Figures Worth Remembering
Following is a short synopsis of the
assessments as returned by the deputy
assessors for 1904:
Number. Value.
Horses in county.6,771 $40,913
Cattle in county..26,312 88058
Mules in county. 324 2,096
The county average was as follows:
Horses.
Cattle..
Mules.
Those are assessed values and should
mean one-tifth of the value.
The total value of personal propeitv
in the county is S273.552. which is an in
crease of $106,000 over 1903.
The real rstate v.ilnes as returned by
the assessors aggregate $670,157, which
Is an increase of 840.480 over 1903. if
left as it was returned. The equaliza
tion of lands is not complete at this
writing ami most likely will be some
what changed.
Village lots were returned at 8483100.
being an increase of $4,090 over 1«03.
The reason of the small increase in vil
lage lots for this assessment is princi
pally due to the fact that lots in Loup
City were assessed very high in 1903.
The railroad valuations have not been
returned by the state board yet, and do
not figure in this statement, but it w ill
i»e increased fully uj/to the increase of
private property, judging by the state
ments given out from Lincoln
The new revenue law7 is a decided im
provement over the old law, and as it is
better understood will be more appre
ciated. Property that has evaded taxa
tion in all the years past will be listed
this year and the burden of taxation
will be more equally distriputed.
Republican National convention
met in Chicago Tuesday. It is
Roosevelt and Fairbanks of Indiana.
Oregon, that only a few7 years ago
was in the extremely doubtful col
umn, is doubtful, nit. A study of
her last record show's 20,00Q on the
right side of the political register.
The Arcadia Champion man seems
to be having dadoodles of trouble
with bis people each week. Not an
issue passes but he scores somebody
or something. What is the matter
with the people—or the editor?
Boomers of Congressman Burkett are
now talking of the genial young man as
go »d timDer for vice presidential cand
iJate. If this booming of Burkett is
not headed off soon. President Roose
veit may soon be on uneasy seat himself.
The U. S. land office department
has ruled that $14 will be the fee
required to file on a 040 acre (or
less) homestead under the Kinkaid
law , same as required under the old
homestead law for 160 acres, ac
cording to the Broken Bow Repub
lican.
Senator M. L. Fries of Valley
county was re-nominated for state
senator last Tuesday by the Repub
licans of the 15th senatorial conven
tion in session at Sargent. Senator
Fries w as one of the most influen
tial members of the lust senate and
his re-nomination is well merited.
The Cooley that runs the Arcadia
Champion says: “Loup City seems
to be mighty touchy on the propo
sition of hired base ball players.
Hire a good man or two, you poor
back number, and go to Ashton and
give them a game.” Just listen tp
the Boxer. What have our boys
said or done to arouse this Arcadian
Chinese puzzle.
Graduates of 1904.
Last Saturday evening occurred the
commencement exercises of the gradu
ating class of 1904. There were fifteen
in the class—ten girls and five boy—as
follows: The Misses Lillian Mae
Conliiser, Irene Clara Gipson, Etta Ma
bel Lof holm, Meroe Jaynes Outhouse.
Katherine Coralene Leininger, Jose
phine Emeline John, Bertha Mead. Jes
sica Margaret Leininger, Vivian Mabel
Nightingale and EllaN. Foster, and the
Messrs. Leslie M. Sweetland, Theodore
t rank Pilger, Ottis £. iliser. Raymond
V. Kearns and Clarence R. Sweetland.
The opera house was literally packed
with friends and relatives of the class.
The front of the stage was ornamented
with a profusion of natural flowers and
potted plants, making the scene more
animated. At about 9 o'clock, to the
sweet strains of a march, the class of
beauty, manliness and culture tiled
from the rear of the hall to their places
on the stage, amid heartiest pludits of
their assembled guests. The program
was at once unique and most pleasing,
and different than any we have ever
witnessed, showing the class to be orig
j inal and up-to-date in every particular.
; Instead of the pterootyped form of each
graduate delivering a formal oration,
the class selected one of their number,
Raymond V. Kearns, to deliver the only
oration given by the class. This was |
I well, and especially pleasing in the se-j
! lection, as Raymond showed in a mas-'
terful manner oratoiieal powers and
readiness of delivery astonishing in one
so young and at once stamped him as
a young man who will make his way to
the upper and higher realm of letter*.
Miss Bertha Mead gave the class history
in a very amusing as well as pleasing
manner. Outside of these, the class
made up their program with excellent
ana highly appreciated musical num
bers. The class was fortunate in secur
ing the presence of State Supt. Fowler,
who gave them one of his vigorous and
masterful addresses on educational
matters that must have been heard to
l»e appreciated. Prof. Fowler is one of
the best talkers on educational subjects
in the west, and what is better is a most
convincing reasoner. The class of 1904 ;
is made up of bright, intelligent girls
and boys and if they will treasure up
the words of wisdom they heard that
| night from the lips of Supt Fowler
and act upon the precepts taught, not
| one but will be an honor to kindred,
i friends, tutors and the village all of
! whom are today proud of the class of .
1904. A scholarship worth $100 and
good at any of five different colleges
in the state was presented to Leslie
Sweetland, as the member of the class
having the highest per cent of scholar
ship. We congratulate Principal Mead
on the fine class graduated under his j
<*are. and trust their future may be such j
as will reflect with honor on his teach-1
ings. The program was rendered as
follows:
