quently didn't winter kill, although the
ground was bare Of snow nearly all win

From H. W. Creason, late county COM
missioner, il is learned that parties are
coming within few days to begin the
work of boring the artesian well, for which
the territory appropriated $1,000 and the
county a like amount. Horse Heavenites
are anticipating great things from this
well and some seem to think 1t will sup
ply the whole country with water.
The well known sheep man, Mr.. Kemp,
seldom mentions any subject relative to
sheep but he has lately freed his mind
and given the information that this
springs wool clip will far exceed that Of
last year as the sheep have come through
the winter in better condition, owing TO
the mild weather. By the way, the lack
Of winter moisture is playing havoc with
the wells and cisterns here, they nearly
all being dry.

In wheat this year between six and seven
hundred acres and will summer fallow

Stat. Assessment Grand Totals.


The grand assessment roll of the state
is complete. 1t shows that there are TO-
$50 acres OF improved lands in the
state, which are valued at $43. $50. 063, or
an average value of 81. 5 per acre. It
also shows that ere are 1857. 727 unim-
proved acres, valued at $50, 1865, 6s6; inn
proved lots in the various villages, towns
and cities OF the state valued at $2S,
257, 292, and unimproved lots valued at
$l0.l5S,37i. The personal property roll
shows that there are 540.175 horses in the
state. valued at SO, 754. 497, or an average
assessed valuation per head of $500;
1924 ,327 cattle, valued at $7.7SS. S25, or
an average value of S4.79; 1876 mules
and asses, valued a $685.. 407. or an
average value of S2l.37: 179.26S sheep,
valued at S1OG.2GS. or an average value
of 50 cents. and 1895 62 hogs, valued
at 81, 500. 40, Or an average value Of Sl.l3.
The assessed valuation of railroad sys-
TENS is S29.674.S29.2l. and that of tele-
graph systems $lsl. 555.2n. This assess
ment, 1t appears, only includes the miles
of track or the railroad and tele-
graphic lines proper. for under the head of
cellaneous matter. an assessed value is
placed at 81 ,422,39S. The taxable vaiua-
ton of the property of the state foo!s up
$1S2, 763, $685. for the current year: for
1883 in footed up Sl76.O12,s AS. This
shows an increase i'll va uation i'll one Year
of $3.50, 707.9 SO. The total levy for the
current year is $1.192,o s.27. While i'll
1883 the levy was 81, 1875. Se7.79, or a de-
crease of $l33,S79.52. 1t is impossible to
give the acreage Of wheat, oats, corn, rye
and barley for the very goo reason that
the assessors failed to certify them up to
the various county clerks. 1t may be well
TO call attention to the fact, too, that the
law requires that this shall be done. Iu
few instances, however. the cereal acreage
was properly certified. but in the main the
county clerks neglected plain obligation

is very equitable assessment.

The State Library.

The finely polished furnishings of the
state library room are ali in place. SAYS a
Lincoln correspondent. A practical inter-
lor furnisher did the work, and so far as
arrangement is concerned it is certainly all
that can be desired. The book cases are
each fourteen feet in length, with seven
helses Oh either side, and they sit from
north to south in the north part of the
room, which is twenty eight feet and eight
inches in width by eighty-two feet in
length. A sub-galiery eighty-two feet
in length, seven feet above the floor. and
just above the doors and cases, contains
SIX rows of shelves the entire length of
the room This is reached by means of
a ladder with silver mounted banisters at
the grand entrance. Beneath the sub
gallery there are seven other rows of
shelves and, barring the cuts for three doors,
also extend the entire length of the room.
Midway in the south part of the room, di-
rectly fronting the grand entrance, sits the
state Librarians desk. On either side of
the desk sit three tables, 3 feet 6 inches
by feet, surrounded by six chairs each of
the most comfortable designs obtainable
The furniture is all Of antique oak, and so
highly, polished that it gives back retiec
ton almost as perfect as looking glass.
IT cost the state $4,000. and it is learned
that the shelf room provided will store 40
