Unplatted Lands.
PROTESTS TOO SI RONG TO BE WITHSTOOD
Owners of Lore I Lands and Railroad
Interests Pnt I p Hard Talk and
Conrisee Board of Its
Mistake.
The Board of County Supervisors yester
day undid Its work of last Wednesday,
when It raised the valuation for assessment
of unplatted lands In nearly all of the
towns of the county and consequently the
taxable valuation of this class of realty
remains the same as fixed by the different
assessors.
The changes made by the board last
Wednesday were as follows: Council Blurts,
raised 25 per cent; Oakland, lowered 35 per
cent; Carson, raised, 25 per cent; Avoca,
raised 25 per cent; Neola, raised 15 per
cent; Walnut, raised 25 per cent; Under
wood. ralBed 10 per cent; Hancock, raised 10
per cent; Treynor, raised 15 per cent; Mc
Clelland, raised 20 per cent; Mlnden, raised
30 per cent.
No s'ooner was the announcement of the
changes In the assessment made public
throughout the country precincts than
protests commenced pouring In on the
members of the board. Borne complained
that Oakland had been favored too much
In having the assessment of its unplatted
lands reduced, while other complaints were
to the effect that the increases In other
towns were beyond all reason and entirely
uncalled for. The Cnlon Pacific railroad.
which owns about IW0 acres In Council
Bluffs, 1h once entered a protest and when
the board convened yesterday a big number
of representatives of large property own
ers were present to register their protests.
Attorney George S. Wright appeared for
the Union Pacific railroad and Trustee
Scott was present on behalf of the East
Omaha Land company. E. W. Nash and
Guy C. Barton, both owners of large tracts
of unplatted lands within the city limits,
were represented by Attorney Crofut, while
Ed George was In attendance on behalf of
the George company, which owns consid
erable acre property at Cut-Oft. Their
arguments against the increase of 25 per
cent proved convincing to the supervisors
and the former action was rescinded. Then
after considerable discussion the board de
cided it might Just as well wipe the platter
clean and its entire action of last Wednes
day was rescinded and expunged from the
records.
The cost for the care of Its Insane charges
is a heavy item on the expense ledger of
Pottawattamie, as evidenced by the bills al
lowed yesterday. At the state asylum at
Clarlnda there are forty-five patients and
the bill for their care for the quarter end
ing March 31 amounted to 11,523.20. At St.
Bernard's there were thirty-four women
and twenty-eight men during April and tha
bill for their care was $816.40. During May
there were thirty-five women and twenty
nine men at this hospital and the bill
amounted to $313.58. At the state hospital
for dipsomaniacs at Mount Pleasant Pot
tawattamie county, at present has only
three patients and $76 covered the amount
duo for their care.
Sheriff Canning s bills against the county
for the months of April and May were
as follows: Expenses In Insane cases, $50.38;
expenses In criminal cases, $457.48; foes in
criminal canes, $3"2.7"5; fees in tax cases,
$59.25; boarding and lodging prisoners,
$3S2.10; ofllce expenses, $11.
The claim of M. E. Schleicher, tax fer
ret, of $1,246.59 commission on taxes recov
ered Into the county treasury through his
work in unearthing property withheld from
assessment was allowed.
The board expects to complete its work
today and adjourn.
rOPlLATlOK OT GROWISO FAST
Local Census Flaores Likely Prove
Disappointing;.
"The census of 1905 In Council Bluffs
will not show as big a population as was
given by the government census In lJOO,'"
was ths authoritative statement of City
Assessor W. D. Hardin yesterday. That
such will be the case will undoubtedly
prove a surprise to the people of this city,
but it is a cold, bare fact, nevertheless,
said Mr. Hardin.
When during the early part of the work
of taking the census Mr. Harding expressed
a doubt of the population being over 27.000
there was an outcry from certain quarters
and the claim was made by certain persons
that everything Indicated that Council
Bluffs had at least a population of 30,000.
This, Mr. Hardin says, a careful canvass
of the city has shown to be not the case.
The government census of 1900, whtch
was conducted by former City Assessor
Frank F. Everest, gave the city a popula
tion of 25.8ii2. Mr Hardin said yesterday
that the census this year would show a
population of something over 25.000 but a few
hundred below the 19i0 mark. The only
explanation Mr. Hardin said he was able
to volunteer for the supposed shortage was
that the people are not in the city and
that Council Bluffs Is In the same position
as many other cities throughout the state,
where this year's census has proved a great
disappointment,

Ko Wine Rooms Tolerated.
Wins rooms In saloons will not be tol
erated for a moment, said Chief of Police
Richmond yesterday, and he said further
that If any saloonman was found violating;
this order his license would be revoked
at once. This announcement came from
Major Richmond as the result of the dis
covery Thursday night by Captain O'Nell
of two young women In a wine room at
tached to the Schneider saloon on Fifth
avenue, between Main and Pearl streets.
When the officer enterd the place after
seeing the young women and their escorts
enter by a side dpor, the girls told him
that they had been Induced to go there
under the impression that it was an ice
cream parlor. They proved to be mem
bers of highly respectable families, and
their indignation was so great on learning
the true nature of the place that they re
fused to permit the young men with them
to escort them home, and Captain O'Nell
saw them safely on board a car.
Wine rooms have not been tolerated In
Council Bluffs for a number of years and
Chief Richmond, after personally seeing
that the one at the Schneider place was
completely dismantled, notified Schneider
that if women were seen in his place again
his license would be promptly revoked and
the place closed.

RAILROAD TAXES IN IOWA
Atseument by the Citiu Bring. About k
HotiI Condition.
SUPREME COURT IS EVENLY DIVIDED
One District Jadae Holds One Way
and Another Another, and the
Decisions Will stand Till
Lealalntnre Meets.
(From a Btaff Correspondent.)
PES MOINES, June 18 (Special.) Two
constructions of the same law are In force
and effect In two separate counties of Iowa i
because of the division of the supreme
court on the railroad assessment cases ap j
pealed from Scott and Linn countlos. In ;
Davenport and also In Cedar Raplda, cities j
that are under special charters, the rail-1
roads were taxed on the full value of the
roads Instead of on one-fourth as Is done
elsewhere.' Suits followed and Judge Pres
ton of Cedar Rapids decided that a city
could collect tax on but a one-fourth valu
ation. Judge Bollinger of Davenport held
that a city could collect taxes on the full
valuation. Both cases were appealed to the
supreme court and there consolidated. The
supreme court after fifteen months' study
of the . matter Is evenly divided and has
returned a decision In the matter. Accord
ing to law when the supreme court Is
evenly divided the action of the lower court
is affirmed. Accordingly therefore the two
opposite constructions of the law are both
affirmed. It Is the first time in the history
of the state where this situation has been
presented, and what the cities of Daven
port and Cedar Rapids will do is a prob
lem. There will, without doubt, be legis
lation at the next session of the legis
lature, which will relieve the situation
Kot Cited for Contempt.
George C. Newman, secretary of the al
leged illegal combination of Insurance men,
was not cited for contempt of court today
for refusing to answer the questions put
to him before the grand Jury. County At
torney Jesse Mllle was confident that he
could have secured the order of court nnd
that the supreme court would have afflrtned
It, but he said he believed he had enough
evidence without the additional Informa
tion from Newman on which to base In
dictments. The insurance men on the other
hand say that had Newman been arrested
they would have started habeas corpus
proceedings In the supreme court, which
would have tied the matter up tor four or
five months, and have prevented the re
turning of Indictments. They say this is
the real reason Newman was not cited for
contempt.
Wonld Buy Sioux City Plant.
The Beatrice Creamery company of this
city is endeavoring to buy the Hanford
Creamery of Sioux City, which has a capi
tal of $500,000. President Haskell of the
Beatrice company already owns two-fifths
of the Hanford stock and is a director in
the company. The Beatrice company has
plants at Omaha, Kansas City, Lincoln and
other large towns in the west.
Diplomat Reviews Troops.
General Powell Clayton, who has recently
been relieved as ambassador to Mexico by
Edwin Conger, reviewed the troops of the
Eleventh cavalry this morning. During the
review he rode the best horse of Colonel
Thomas, who is In command. Concerning
Mexico he said that it was not as good for
young men as the United States.
Cow Cannes a Strike.
John White, president of the Iowa Mine
Workers, is in the city endeavoring to set
tle the strike of 150 miners at the Gibson
mine. He stated that the real cause of
the strike which has heretofore been kept
from the public, Is that a cow belonging
to one of the miners ate up the garden of
John Gibson, sr., and the miner the next
morning was discharged. President White
claims that the matter should have been
settled In a Justice court and does not
come under the agreement with the op
erators, but claims a miner cannot be dis
charged for what his cow does. Ths mat
ter has been left to Mr. White and the
