Tol- AGREEMENT ON ASSESSMENT EtaU Board Practically Csnclades Labon on Bailroad Property. UNION PACIFIC MAIN LINE GOES UP Illinois Central Objects to Belas; Assessed, Clalialaa" Its Omaha Line la Operated at a Loss of 8er eral Thoiuad, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 5.-8peclal.)-Today the State Board of Equalisation and Assess ment began to place tentative assessments on the railways. The figures reached are ubject to change when the minutes of the assessment are formally prepared, but they are regarded by the members of the board as conclusive unless new reasons can be urged for the change. They repre sent the board's estimate of the fair value of the properties. As a basis Treasurer Mortensen had prepared a statement show ing the value of a mile of each system as determined by capitalizing the net earnings at 6 per cent. This was done with the sanction of Governor Mickey, who approves of the use of the net earnings and market value of the capital stock and bonds as excellent indication of value. With the exception of the Union Pacific comparatively few changes will be shown since all other lines report slightly de creased net earnings, and for that reason but little change has been made In the ag gregate, except for the Union Pacific. During the discussion Secretary of State Galusha demanded that the final figures be made without any, further delay, but his colleagues would pot accede, since It has been the practice to prepare these preliminary assessments and then go over thein finally before completing the min utes. It was understood that no formal vote was being taken on them, although tbey were decided on by the consent of the majority, the governor asking them to turn In what assessments they consid ered proper. When the minutes are for mally made up the votes will be recorded. There was some discussion as to the ad visability of making the estimates unani mous, but Secretary of State Oalusha, who stood for an Increase from $4,000 to $6,500 on the 128 miles of the Wllmar branch of the Great Northern, established a contrary crecedent by refusing to give In when his fellow members agreed on $6,600 a mile, Clash Over Union Pacific. The big clash has been anticipated over the Union Pacific.

That is the next county to Vice President Fairbanks and party ar rived in Omaha at 5:10 Monday afternoon over the Union Pacific. After their private car had been transferred to the rsortn western the vice presidential group de parted at 6:40. They go from here to De troit, Mich., and thence to Flint, In that state. On June 7. at Flint, the vice presi dent will make an address at the laying of a cornerstone, after which he will proceed with his family to their home in Indian apolis. Seen for a few minutes on the arrival of his train at the depot, Vice President Fair banks said he had thoroughly enjoyed his trip to Portland. "Of course. It has been a good deal of a flying trip," he said, "but we had an opportunity to see and hear and came away with a decidedly favorable Im pression of Portland and ls exposition. That Is a country of magnificent prospects In a material sense. Its future seems full of golden promise in every way. The peo ple who are at the head of the exposition have accomplished a feat that will redound to their credit for years. There have been few if any more satisfying displays of material, artistto and educational products and facilities than are shown' at Portland, although not on as large a scale as at other expositions. Impressed by Prosperity. "We arrived In Portland the day before the opening of the exposition and left the day after Its formal opening. So you can realise we have been traveling at a fairly rapid pace. It was quite cool when we left Portland and ere were rather surprised to run Into such warm weather In Ne braska. Still your people can console themselves In the thought that this kind of weather Is Just the thing to make a bumper corn crop. I have been mightily impressed with the evidences of progress n nil ntv.anj.i-lt v that U' feava UAn In n., Journey to the coast over the northern railroad . lines and back again over the southern lines. In my mind there can be no more impressive and convincing evidences witnessed In any country on earth of the steadily advancing spirit of the people In all lines. Such a vast diversity of nature's richest ' tribute to man's labor la not to be found. I am convinced, outside of the United States." Vice President Fairbanks, while tired and somewhat travel stained, was tgenlal be juiiu .7 innnjii i,a iia i iia.i alitor Biveu uf the political critics. Bitting with his vlsl tor in the stateroom he had been occupy ing he was entirely democratic In manner 'and conduct. The swinging door of the stateroom threatening to close and shut off what little air there won, the visitor was about to reach down and place a slipper that was lying on the floor against the door. The vice president beat him to it and fixed the slipper under the door him self, adding a curling Iron to It to make sure the contrivance would hold. "There, that will keep It," he said, ha straight' Union, you know, which was my home when I was a boy. TUat is an occasion I am looking forward to with a great deal of pleasurable anticipation." Of the politics germ, apparent or unde veloped, the vice president would not con sent to talk. He did not intimate that he considered the thought of It impertinent or untoward. lie was simply dlgnlfiedly and courteously silent on that topic. And he ment at $20,000, as compared with $16,000 a mile last year on the 47 miles of main line. Eaton opposed this. No change In the total assessment of the Burlington wi contemplated, but a redistribution of the assessment as between the branches and the main line was contemplated. The board agreed to leave the.

The Grand Island base ball team has opened the season, under the manage ment of Henry Slevers, and defeated the high school and the Hastings city team In two successive games. The former was de feated by a score of $ to 4, the Glade broth ers being the battery for the high school team In order to strengthen the same. In the game with Hastings yesterday the Hastings crew could do little with Art Glade, a brother of Fred Glade of the St. Louis Browns, while the locals pounded Foote unmercifully. Grant and Shafstall making home runs in succession. The Hustings team threw up In disgust at the end of the fifth Inning, but to satisfy the crowd, played two Innings more. With the exception of the catcher the local bunch showed up strong from the start, and Man ager Slevers today secured Wolta of the Schuyler team for the receiving station. The score of the game with Hastings was 1$ to 6. the locals running in ten scores in the third Inning. Some folks go on their bodies and their Brains day after day with coffee and tea, half sick all the time, weakly wonder ing "what it is balks my plans and keeps ine down. I have mighty hard luck the attorney general, Mr. Norrts Brown, concerning the assessing of the property of the Illinois Central and otlmr railroad com run Irs, and see no reason to object to any thing therein. This company has trackage agreements with the Cnlon I'aolflc and the Omaha Bridge A Terminal company. Three agrep mnts are not lass, nor ran this company ndr thrm claim anv leasehold. This com pany's contract right 1n Nebraska may by some be t-allrd a franchise, but I would not so name it: however, it Is Inimaterliil. The only tangible property of this company assessable by the Doarcl IS the pawniitr equipment reported The only Intangible property that could be assessable under the taiute Is the contract rlglil under wnii-u this company does buslnexs in Nebraska. If this contract light had any money value would sav that the attorney general s opinion would make it assessable, and my only purpose now is to can your attention to the fact that it has no money value. The only proper measure of such value for taxing purposes, IT any existed, would be tne net earnings oi trie company irom me xercise of this contract runt, i nere are no such earnings. On the contrary the net eflclt as reported tor the year enaing March 31, 19u4, was $21,286.31. This was ar rived at by prorating on a mileage basis the net deficit of the terminal district, which Includes Omaha and Council Muffs; more exact method of ascertaining tne Nebraska deficit would have shown It even greater than reported. This company furnishes good carrier serv ice to Omaha at an annual net loss of thou sands of dollars, and I do not think it was the Intention of the legislature to add any penalty to such misfortune.. The reason for a deficit on this company's line from Fort Dodge to Omaha 4s appar ent. There are more railroads In this par ticular territory than Its present popula tion, wealth and development Justify; and s Is generally the case, the company nrst In the field gets the business and the money, and the late comer gets ine ex perience while waiting for the business to grow. Wants Hearing- for Frank Barker. Attorney F. C. Hamer today asked Gov ernor Mickey to grant a hearing In the Barker casa. Governor Mickey did not give him any encouragement, but It Is believed that he will grant the hearing. An effort will be made to convince the governor that the man who is to be hanged a week from Friday for the murder of hia brother and sister-in-law Is insane. Appeals for Bank Wrecker Gould. Friends of Amos H. Gould, the wrecker of the Bellwood bank, made an appeal to Governor Mickey today to grant him a commutation of the six-year sentence of which he has now served about one-half. Is claimed that the man ought to be permitted to assist his family, which 13 now located In this city. Governor Mickey gave them little hope. Delay In Completing Asylnm. Numerous complaints are being made be cause of the delay In getting the Norfolk asylum ready fot occupancy. The board today let a contract to a Norfolk architect to assume charge of the work, but the actual work of rebuilding the old structure remains to be con tracted for. Beacuse of the lack of plumb ing and sewerage no more patients can be taken there. Twenty able-bodied patients from the Lincoln hospital were taken to Norfolk several weeks ago to assist tn the preparation of the grounds. At the present time both the Lincoln and Hast ings Institutions are badly overcrowded and at the former Institution some are obliged to sleep In hallways. At Hastings not another female can be received. The trouble is alleged to be due to the lnabll, Ity of the board to get at the Norfolk con tract because of the press of other official business.
