QUESTION" J. NJ" of Indiana
township writes us complaining that
the Knoxville township assessor has
done him injustice by assessing a
piece of land owned by him in this
township ut "A higher rate than other
lands of similar quality owned by res
idents of this township, and thinks
the reason IL that the owner does not
live in the township. He requests us
to call attention of our township trus-
tees to the matter. OF course we, can
not know as to the justsce OF his COM
plant. Perhaps the assessor can
explain. j. NJ. raises question
which may be OF some Importance.
He says there are roads on three sides
OF this land, and Of course three slices
are taken from IL for public use, but
Ii Is assessed without any reduction
Tor the ground occupied by the roads.
He claims tia principle IN law that
u man should not be required to pay
tax upon ground donated To public use.
Who will tell us whether j. M. Is
correct Ian this or not? and whether
or not 1t il customary for assessors to
make reductions In such eases

THE BENEFITS that railroad will
bring to farmers are beyond estimate.
The increase in the value of lands
about Knoxville, from the building Of
a road cannot be computed definitely,
but must be immense-even in adj
vance of the anticipations Of the most
sanguine. In conversation in our Of
flee few days since, Mr.. David
Kuhns, of Franklin township, form
erIy OF Greensburgh, Pa, said that
land in the vicinity of Greensburgh,
which was almost worthless, and
could hardly be sold for enough mon
ey to pay the taxes, before the Penn
sylvania Central Railroad was built to
that place, Immediately became SO
valuable when the road was built, that
the right to mine the coal under the
surface sold Mt $50 to $500 per acre.
Thousands Of miners were set to work
aud a home market was created for
everything that farmers could pro-
duce. Every pumpkin and squash
could be sold at the door Of the farm
house for Is cents; every pound OF
butter, quart of milk, dozen Of eggs,
every chicken, pig, bushel of turnips,
potatoes, onions, carrots, etc., brought
the cash at large prices, and the poor
farmers became rich. Mr.. Kuhns
thinks our farmers do not appreciate
the advantages they will receive by
the building Of this road, and are not
giving the mid and encouragement
they should to the enterprise.

They can, and ought to do it.

PUGHIN TROUBLE AGAIN.-Charley
Pugh, a young man living two or three
miles east of this place is again in Gus
tody..of the officers of the law. III will
be remembered that year or two ago
he was sent to State prison on charge
of larceny, and oil account Of his youth
was soon after pardoned. He has since
been suspected of several misdemean-
ors-whether justly or not we cannot
say-among which were the stealing
of saddle at one time, a set Of mason's
tools at another time, corn and wheat
at other times, in Clay township and
i'm the east part OF Knoxville town
ship. During the last session of the
District court he was absent for several
days, and returned about daylight one
morning about three weeks since, re-
porting that he had been in Warren
and Madison counties. The same
morning he returned a strange horse
was found in the neighborhood bear
ing indications OF having been rlddep
hard the night before. The sheriffs Of
Warren and Madison counties were
notified of the facts. An owner for the
horse was found in Warren county. 1t
is said that Pugh in the meantime adj
mitted that he rode the horse from
that county here. Upon this admis-
sion and the suspicious circumstances
Sheriff Crozier OF this county took
Pugh into custody until the Warren
county sheriff came down and led the
chap to Indianola for trial. The pre-
liminary examination was held at
Indianola last Friday. Pugh was
bound over in the sum of $500, and in
default of bail was taken to Fort Mad
ison for safe keeping.

"OuR FARMERS have done nobly,
most of them, !" says the Democrat, re-
ferring to their subscriptions for rail
road stock. Now the fact is that a few
of them have done nobly, but most OF
them have done nothing. There are
about 200 voters i'm Knoxville town
ship, and not more than 300, or one
fourth of them are in the city OF
Knoxville, while the remaining three
fourths, 300, are nearly all farmers.
Now look at the lists on another page
and see how it is. We refer to this
matter only to induce the farmers to
look at this matter as they ought, and
act accordingly. We would withhold
no credit due any class, but feel sure
that the farmers do not care for fiat
terry. They prefer plain facts. As a
class they have not done their share
but we hope to report next week that
they have more generally responded
to the call. Mr.. Buell. has given us
an extension Of time to the Goth, in
which to raise the amount. Shall 1t
be done?
Every days delay in getting work
started on the road will delay the ar
rival of the cars just so much. Farm
ers, wiHyou move your crops this fall
by rail or haul to Pella?

IT is REPORTED, and apparently up
on good authority, that the citizens OF
Clay township alone paid ferriage at
Durham's Ferry In 1874 to the amount
OF 81 400. At . cents per round trip
with team this sum would represent
1900 trips, or Is trips per day; aud
this would show 5000 days time for
one man and team, which represents
in value, at So per day, Sl6,S0O. Add
ferrriage, and We have $500. And
this is at only one Of the three ferries
at which the farmers Of Clay cross the
river in going To market. BESIDES,
they ford and cross on the ice during
II large part of the year. And yet
when railroad and depots at their
very doors are offered them, besides
competition and a direct outlet to st.
Louis market, which is always better
for their grain than the Chicago mar
ket, they are slow to grasp the advan-
tages offered ut n cost Of only Sl2,O 900.
They should lose no time wrangling,
but compromise their differences
without delay, and, as We think,
uDits upon the two-depots plan. This
will locate the depot on Walnut creek
near the bridge and accommodate the
citizens OH both sides of that stream.
English is already bridged just below
and just above the site chosen for the
depot on that stream. VIII not the
majority be mnch better accommodate
ed by two dep0ts than by one only
aud are they not cheap enough atthe
figures named?
Knoxville journal. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1874-1986, 1875-04-15

bridge aud tie, the road must be bond
ed higher than $1,000 per mile, and
then they cannot for several years pay
interest and expenses and make any
thing over. Hence capitalists will not
put in their funds unless this local aid
can he secured.
Propositions had been made to Mr..
Buell. to drop the A. X. & ID. road
and take another line, but he would
not accept. He hoped the building
of the A. X. & ID. would bring road
to Knoxville from the east. In all
his experience he had never before
met such an audience as this gathered
on so short notice to listen to rail-
road speech. 1t showed all earnest
desire for the road which lie was graf
flied to see. And that desire shall he
gratified if the required amount OF
stock is taken.
Capt Mathews was called upon and
made brief address. He said he
came to Iowa q years ago. There
was not in the State then a foot OF
railroad. He found Des Moines a
dirty little town. Came to Knoxville
and determined that this was a better
place than Des Moines, and according
ly located here. Now Des Moines is
wealthy city, and Knoxville is a
slow little town. We have better
surrounding country than Des Moines;
but look at the difference in the
places. What has made it? Not the
location of the capital, but the bull
ding of railroads, has made Des Moines
what it is. We cannot make o town
here without railroad. Every other
county seat about us has its railroad,
and is building up and prospecting,
while Knoxville is languishing.
Larken Wright asked if the compa-
ny would wait on individuals for pay
ment on their notes after maturity If
they should not be prepared for i'm
mediate payment. Mr.. b. said the
company would give another years
time on all notes which our bankers
would say were good.
Mr.. Waring inquired as to the pos
session of the right of way and grade
between Moulton and Abba. Mr..
Buell. replied that the Central railroad
of Iowa, to whom the grade belonged,
had abandoned it for five years, and
under the law any company could
take and hold it. The @. & st. z.
had taken possession under the law,
and at the request of the company
formerly owning the grade. The
Central is unable to finish that part
of its line and want the @. q st. p.
to occupy it in order 10 give the Cen
trail connection with st. Louis. Mr..
Buell. said further that if we raised
here the amount he has asked of us he
will build the a. X. & ID. road from
Abba to Knoxville whether the
remainder of the line to Quincy is
built this year or not, and thus let us
out the b, & M. and the Central roads
if not to st. Lou E. '-"--
-tr'he meeting closed with three rous-
ing cheers for Mr.. Buell. and the
road.
