THE State Board of railroad asses
sors have fixed the assessment of the
main line of the Santa Fe road at
81 500 mile. AS we have some 80
miles of this main line in Barton
county it will give an assessed valua-
ton ON that road alone of 1925, 600.
When we take into consideration the
Missouri Pacific main line and it's
branch-say so miles altogether, the
G. K. & w. Is miles, the Mcpherson
branch miles; we have total of u
miles besides the main line OF the San
ia Fe. The assessment OH these ~
miles, say at one-fourth less than the
main line of the Santa Fe-S5, 625 per
mile-would give valuation of $780,
600. Or, in rough estimate, we have
railroad property in this county of the
assessed valuation of $3.50, 900.

IT IS no trouble now for Barton coun-
ty to capture any explorer, coming into
her territory. Not many hours driving
are required to show what agricultural

on. A man who would remain sceptl-

ing wheat and oats, and the beautiful
farms on all sides, in one section would
not be worth having.
