'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

Cold Winter lu the Eost.

G. N. RawsoU handed us a
clipping from a Bo\ton ! paper
that claims the p ; st winter has
\ken the coldest there in 114
jear . The paperts elated March
nd and says :
"Today wakes the lIixty se\'tnth day

jp and there is still between six iueheli
an six feet of 1i1l0on tbe gr und

If the law and instructions are
complied with in the entire state
it will give U9 th < ; most complete
list of taxable propertr every
made in the state. 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.

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.

Denmark , per acre , it would have

butter about seven cents pel

and on the otber hand , it can pu !
butter in Danish markets at .1
