On and after Jan. 1st, Tiie North western will place the subscription price on its foreign subscribers at Si 25 per year. We do this from the fact that it does not pay to carry them at the $1 per year rate. Also, all names will be eliminated from our foreign list that are not paid for in advance, or their subscription guaranteed by them selves or by those sending such papers to friends at a distance. This rule will fee absolute as we are at present carrying such at a direct loss We ex pect at an early date to print four pages of The Northwestern at home, in stead of two pages as at present, Our nierchants are using our advertising columns in a more satisfactory manner t than in the past, and if they continue to do so it will become necessary to en large the home columns of print. Our columns at present are full to overflow ing with advertising, making it neces sary to print a supplement each week and we have faith to believe that the enterprise they are showing Will con tinue. Why Was the School Levj^ih School District No. 1 25 Mills? In Mr. Gibson's explanation of*the lew in Loup City township he lays the levy for the year 1905 for School District No 1 is 25 mills. Why is it 25 mills ? The law says, Chapter 131, Page 554 Session Laws 1905: “The amount of money so voted as being necessary for the maintain ance of the school for the coming year shall be certified by the district school board to the county clerk of the county in which said school district is located, and said amount I shall be levied by the County Hoard on the assessed value ot the school district and be collected as other taxes.” The assessed valuation of School Dis trict No. 1 is more than $158,000 and a levy of 19 mills would have raised more ! than #3,000, the amount asked by the j school boird. The amount levied, to-wit: 25 mills, is to raise S3959. Who authorized this amount of levy? The school district authorized a levy to raise #3.000 only. ADDITIONAL LOCALS.
