TWENTY THIRD YEAR
he
Order Must Stand
Washington Dec 21 It has been re
ported here thvl indignation prevails
throughout southwestern Nebraska over
tho presidents roeent order abolishing
tho land ollico at McCook after January
11 Tho claim is made that tho ueod for
this ofiico ib as groat as over since fully
90 per cent of the homestead entries are
yet lacking and lie west of MoCook In
terest in tho matter is also intensified by
tho report that the office was abolished
because of some complaints which were
filed in tho eneral land ofiico last sum
mer against P M Kathbun the register
and C W Barnes tho receiver
It was learned at tho white house to
day that the president merely complied
with tho law when he discontinued tho
McCook office According to the law
whenever tho expenses equal one third
of the total revenue of a land ofiico and
whenever the public lands in a district
are reduced to less than 100000 acres
tho president and the secretary of tho
interior may order such ofiico abolished
Although tho fees of the McCook ofiico
for the last two quarters show an oxcess
over maximum salaries to the officials
the remaining public lands in the dis
trlct fall short of tho minimum acreage
necessary to continue the office The
law also provides that when a land office
is located at a state capital tho unfinish
ed business of an abolished office shall be
sent there for completion For this
reason unfinished business of McCook
will go to tho office at Liucoln
Congressman Norris stated tonight
that tho land office at Sidney Nebr
would also be abolished within a few
months
Tho general land office is investigat
ing the complaints against Kathbun and
Barnes The nature of them are not
known Entries to lands in Nebraska
under the Kinkaid act has necessitated
the employ of additional clerk hire in
tho land office at Alliance Senator
Millards secretary was notified today by
the department that thi5 additional hire
miij bo continued for thirty days

postmasters throughout the Hitchcock

tinuance of the land office at McCook

Workmen Adjusted Rates
Norfolk Neb Dec 24 According to
the January number of the Nebraska
Workman just being issued in this city
the Nebraska jurisdiction of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen has just avert
ed seceding from the supreme lodge
The compromise was effected when tho
supreme lodge through a committee
agreed to allow Nebraska to have its own
way with regard to guaranty fund rates
instead of adopting rates which had been
set down by the supreme lodge and which
would have greatly increased the expense
of the jurisdiction in this state
With the alternative of either paying
the rate or withdrawing from the na
tional order staring them in the face
members of the Nebraska jurisdiction
were pretty general in favor of withdraw
ing at the meeting of the grand lodge to
be held in South Omaha next May A
few days ago however a committee of
the supreme lodge met officers of the Ne
braska lodge at Lincoln and the result
was the granting of Nebraskas every
wish so that rates henceforth will be
lower than they have been before

Willing to Pay In Part
Thirty of the sixty one counties in the
state through which the Burlington runs
have accepted the amount of taxes ten
dered to them by Tax Commissioner
Pollard up to December the 23 says the
Lincoln Star These payments were ac
cepted merely on account
A mistaken idea appears to prevail
that the tax commissioner insisted upon
his proffer being accepted as full pay
ment or he would refuse to pay anj thing
To correct this idea Mr Pollard re
cently sent the following letter to all of
the county treasurers who have tax
claims against tho Burlington
Dear Sir You have undoubtedly
been served with order issued by Hon
W H Munger Judge of the United
States court in regard to the taxes of
this company for the year 1904
I stated to you when making the
tender that you could have the amount
tendered at any time as wo do not wish
to keep your county the school districts
villages etc out of what we consider a
fair tax indefinitely
Judge Mungers order reads as fol
lows
And it is further ordered that the ac
ceptance by the defendants of any ten
der made by the complainant herein
shall in no way or manner effect or pre
judice any of their rights
If you wish to accept this amount
tondered please so advise me and I will
remit at once
Your tax receipts can show on ac
count or in part paymeut of and if
you wish you can show that there is a
balance unpaid of so many dollars
