FIGURES ON TAX LEVY
State Board of Equalization Holds
Session
LINCOLN The state board of
equalization has been in session mak
ing tentative figures to represent the
relative position of the counties for
the purpose of fixing the levy
Several counties had representatives
before the board looking after their
interests
The assessment rolls show a total
of 33408770 acres of land returned
his year an increase over that of
ast year of 5G758C acres The aver
age assessed valuation of improved
land is 391 an acre as against 315
ast year Unimproved land is return
ed at an average of 114 this year and
105 last The average value of im
proved lots has been increased from
1277C to 12871
The number of cattle returned this
year is 2313495 with an average
value of 446 each horses 659983
with an average value of 774 and
asses 3940 with an average value of
940 a head
The total assessment of the state is
188458379 an increase of 8481811
over that of last year
Of the total valuation Douglas coun
ty furnishes 2559361032 about one
seventh of the total
Those who have appeared before
the board have been given to under
stand that they cannot hope to get
the assessment of last year reduced
since the entire levy will be made
on a basis of 2 mills higher than last
year The principal desire is to get a
levy which will compare equitably
with the other counties of the state
While the board is disposed to low
er the levy of those counties which
return a high assessed valuation they
aim to make the levy as great as pos
sible and there are several counties
which will get the limit of 9 mills
Of taxable franchises Nebraska has
but few as shown by the assessment
roils The returns show thirty six of
what are known generally as public
service corporations that will pay
taxes on intangible property com
monly known as franchises
Bellwood Bank Pays Dividend
M J Holland who has been receiv
er for the Bellwood bank which was

has declared his first dividend of 5
per cent The bank which did a
large business with the farmers 2
northern Butler county failed in
January 1902 It is said that there
are some assets remaining in the
bank but they are of doubtful value
The small size of the dividend dem
onstrates the skill of Gould as a bank
wrecker

EASY FOR IOWA FISHERS
Fine Amounts to Much Less Than Li
cense Fee
LINCOLN Game Warden McCoc
nell has reported the case of a num
ber of Sioux City parties who were
arrested at Dakota City for fishing
without a license They were taken
before a local justice who fined them
1 and costs much to their own satis
faction and the discomfort of the
game warden as they could afford to
be fined several times and then get
their fishing cheaper than by paying
the license fee The -customary
amount of fines for these offenses is
the amount of the license with the
costs added
Chief Deputy Carter thinks the
poachers should have been fined at
least the amount of the license fee
He says Iowans especially should not
object to paying this fee as the state
has a similar law costing Nebraska
hunters 10 per county to hunt quail
in Iowa
Fees of Bank Examiners
The state treasury has received its
first fee for bank examinations under
the new law The last legislature en
acted a law fixing the salaries of bank
examiners at 1800 and requires
them to turn all fees into the state
treasury The fee was paid by the
Frenchman Valle bank at Palisade
Bank examiners hitherto have been
allowed all fees up to 2000 a year
It is said that the fees rarer went
above that figure

Origin or Names cf Carriages
Omnibuses were first seen in Paris
in 1827 and the name is nothing more
than the Latin word signifying for
all Cab is an abbreviation of the
Italian word cabriola which was
changed to cabriolet in French Both
words have a common derivative
cabriole signifying a goats leap The
exact reason for giving it this strange
appellation is unknown unless be
cause of the lightness and springiness
of the vehicle in its original form In
some instances the names of special
forms of carriages are derived from
the titles of persons who introduced
them The brougham was first used
by the famous Lord Brougham and
the popular hansom also derives its
name from its introducer Mri Hansom
Landau a city in Germany was tho
