Mr. Wilson, rector of the Episcopal church, officiating. Born at Tilery House, Lancashire, England, Mr. Haythorn became a Texas cowboy in 1882. Two years later he herded cattle to Ogallala and entered the employ or a land and cattle company. In 1887 he engaged In the livery and feed business and four years later homesteaded In what Is now Arthur county. Later, Mr. Haythorn formed a part nership with Mayor Jujnes C. Dahl man of Omaha, engaging in horse trading. They trailed through a hunch of horses In the desolate Ida ho country, where Mr. Haythorn con tracted asthma, which caused bis death.

Farm Valuations .Are Up $34,000,000 (Continued From Paso One.) for a lower valuation, but that it will not enable them to avoid pay ment In full for 1923. They are holding out 25 per cent of the taxes levied upon them Until a decision is handed down by the fed eral tribunal. Other Koads Pay in Full. Other railroads than the four who have been or are in litigation against the state, have paid their taxes for 1923 in full, according to Tax Com missioner Smith. Despite the fact that the decision was favorable to the Rock Island, state officials pointed out today that two of the contentions of the board of equalization, namely, that railroads should he assessed per mile of prop erty and that state courts were com petent to pass upon assessment cases, have been upheld. Members of the state railway com mission today said that they had no authority to take any action that would bring back to the taxpayers of the state the loss that they will bus tain through the decision. "It reminds me of the 2-cent fare fight,” said Commissioner Randall. "The roads put up one of the weaker lines to contest the assessment, be cause they apparently thought It would get greater consideration. Had it been the Northwestern or the Bur lington, it might have been differ ent. • However, there is nothing that the railway commission can do about It.” I$i > an Refuses Comment. Officials at the state capitol to day estimated the decision of the su preme court In granting the appllca tion of the Keek Island railroad for a reduction in tax»s will cost Ne braska more than $1,500,000 If every railroad is to have the same advan tags. The supreme court ruled that the Rook Island must pay 68 per cent of its assessed valuation and not 100 per cent. Railroad property In Nebraska is valued at $315,000,000. which la ap proximately 10 per cent of the as sessed value of the entire state. The average tax levied throughout the state is 16 m.lls, of which the state take* 2 mills. Healing down the rail road taxes to 68 per cent of the as sessed valuation, and figuring the tax at 16 mills, the lose in taxes will amount to $1,612,800. Asked If a meeting of the euualizg tion board would be called to work out a solution of the problem pre seated by the supreme court, W. H. Smith, tax commissioner, said today that he had not an opportunity to confer with Governor Bryan, who acts as head of the board, but that an early meeting was probable. The governor today declined to dia cuss the court decision. Nebraska K Nubbins GRAND ISLAND—An outstanding record of continuity of service comes t olight In the retirement of John W.

A Nebraskan in Washington My P. C. POWELL. Washington, Jan. 2.—Only one fart la certain In minds of the Nebraska delegation watching the endless con troversy over whether there is or isn't money on hand to pay state road contracts. It Is the old, old saying, "Figures don't lie hut liars figure.” Republicans and democrats here are agreed upon -that fact. A number in the Nebraska delega tion received a Christmas card from Victor Rosewliter, former owner of the Omaha Bee. Mr. Rosewater was in Washington during the meeting of the republican national commit tee. Myra Nourse, formerly stenogra pher for W. G. Ure, is coming to Washington to be the stenographer for Senator R. B. Howell. Edgar Howard couldn’t resist the temptation to have several thou sands of copies of hie maiden speech in the halls of congress printed and mailed to admiring friends in Ne braska. The Columbus editor and his wife live at the Congress Hall hotel in Washington. Last Sunday night he addressed the congressmen and their wives on. "Reminiscences of a Country Editor.” The same evening he addressed a Washington Society of Filipinos, assuring its members that they should have independence. Nebraska congressmen, new tf> the business, smile grimly when politi cal expediency forces them to file for renomination before they have had time to learn to eat and like large sized raw oysters, let alone vote on a single measure. Certain republican newspapers In the east are pointing to from 30 to 40 resolutions for investigations of gov ernmental departments introduced by democrats for no other purpose, It is charged, than to discredit the present administration. Referring again to raw oysters. One can never get the real kick out of an oyster until he goes to a wharf crowd ed with oyster boats, buys a quart or a pint and stands and watches a colored lad shuck the oysters for hint. Week days finds hundreds of house wives on the wharf buying these fresh oysters and having them shucked by colored lads. Mr. and Mrs. Beach Coleman of Soottabluff wer* guests at the home of Congressman Jiolj Simmons last week. The Colemans were on route, via auto, from ScottsfblufT to Orlando Fla. As matters stand now, all Nebraska congressmen, excepting John H. More head and M. O. McLaughlin, have either filed or announced they would file for the renomination. Wonder If any of the persons de scribing the ‘'Small Town Saturday Night” will tell of the Saturday night poker parties in garages or barber shops? Or lias poker deteriorated since the war Into craps games? Or don't “the boys’* In Nebraska play any more Saturday night poker? The time was when the Saturday night band c-ncert was only the be ginning of Saturday night amuse ments, the small town band boys and their admiring friends hurrying from the concert to a haymow-, barber shop or livery tiarn to become ardent seek ers of aces.
