"i'rhe decision of the supreme - court in fnvor o { the government ii'Fihc..Morgan-Hill ' merger' case is victory of which tbe admin. i fration may well feel proud. " , . ' ; I.'he senatoria comthttee n- v stigation of Senator Dietrich's edged crockedness in the lI st- 1iJS postoffice does not cl _ llnfy ; tHe situation. It is evident. that tlle witncsies on one'side at least . ar lying. ' ' , ( Warden Beemer's montbly re- rt shows that the 287 convicts 1his institution have been fed c1itriug February at 'au average d'1y ' cost to the state of seven c itts and six mills per capita.

'l'he state bo'ard of aS5essments and equalization has decided that d pnty assessors must repOrt the exact amount of pro erty owned by telegraph , tel ( > phone and other . li e corporations. 'fhis does not tucan to rCPQrt so many miles of pples and wire , but to state the ex ct number or poles and the number of lines strung. All other details must be as conscien- tj } sly hsted. , TWo ckct8. 'l'he issues of the city election re now squarely before the pe - pIe' . Two tickets she ld be s . , fficient to satisfy everybody. The question of license is the main issue and the citizens ticket gives you an opportunity to choose as to cand1dates and at t1ie same time eXJress your opia- io'n on the question of license. Unfortunately for the high licen- se'ticket a vote for their candia - a t is a vote for license. But s'the issue is squarely , drawn there will be no excuse for a per- sohal camPaign. , ' 'l'he candidates rl(1)oth ) tIckets are business men fl the' city and doubtless each will have the best interests of the city at heart from his view. If your views do not conci.de with his , vote for the oUier f l1ow. . Meet the issues squarely and vote as yo'ur conscious dictates. ! Knowing the scnti'ment ' of the ity s w believe we do we have uo doubt of the success of the anti-saloon ticket. Later we wi1J dsscuss the issue as we view it. 'of Cold Winter lu the Eost. - G. N.

One requirement - ment m d of the county assbss- or by the state bOard is to furnish a list of th property sold in 1902 and 1903 , and the valuation to be used in fixing the valuation of land and , city property for state and couuty taxes. As many have doubtless made tbeir deeds of. conveyance represcnt ficticiouB values the report will not be a very reliable guide , but it is the best that can be furnished and will doubtless serve as a warning in the future. 'l'he purchaser will see that his deed does not represent more than he actuallv paid for it. There is another requirement tb t iR of importance to many. 'l'he assessor - sessor is required to make a list of all mortgages of record for taxation. Doubtless there are many mortgages of record that should be released that have been neglected. Parties having mortgages - gages of record that have beeu paid should see that they are released - leased at once or they will be assessed - sessed on them. 'l'his list include - clude both chattlc and real estate mortgages. Gballcug'r' Trluwllh hus Doometl Ne' . IJr sko. . DaIrying. Following closely UpOIl the triumph of the steer "Challeng- er , tI a skim-milk calf , comes an arhcle by Prof. A. E. I-Iaecker , of the State Agricultural School , calling attention to the great possibilities of Nebraska as a dairying state. The Burlington Route has published the article in convenient folder form , with a number of Nebraska farm and dairy- views , and is sending it to the East to arouse interest there. Our people here at home might do well to write J. Francis , the general passenger agent at Omaha. to have copies sent to the addresses of such of their friends in the east as are think. in of coming to Nebraska , or ml 'ht be induced to come. Dauyinl { is a good safe business proposition and Prof. Haeck r appears to have' treated it con- s.cientiously and from a business standpoint. He says : 'IDen. mark , with an area of 15,00C equare miles , is just one-fifth as large as the state of Nebraskal and yet this little country las ! year marketed over 124,000,00C pounds of butter , which brough ! $31O OPOO. , This vast amoun1 represents only what was export. ed. 2,500,000 people had tltei1 share of butter , cheese , crean and milk before they sold theil surplus. Nebrnslm can do evel better than Denmark , as it has c : richer soil and a better climate t ( grow stock food. It Nebrnskc : were making as much butter n ! Denmark , per acre , it would have $ ] 55,000,000 worth per year to ex' port. Nebraska can produce butter about seven cents pel pound cheaper than Denmarkl and on the otber hand , it can pu ! butter in Danish markets at .1 cost of less than half that differ. ence. So long as such conditiom exiit lh re need be no fear oj over-production in Nebraslm. " TIle DeNt COII.:11 ! twrUI ) . S. L.
