The sun shone yesterday afternoon for the
first time in four or FIVE days, but It was
cloudy. foggy and rainy again this fore
noon. The ground was never more full of
water here than at the present time, there
being water standing in numerous places
II never did before. and many cellars are
flooded. Water is In the furnace pit at the
high school building. so that keeping up
FIRE is very difficult. Citizens north OF the
Union Pacific railway tracks, who are al
ways bothered at times of high water.
opened a way for the water to the south
side, with the result OF flooding the streets
and cellars that otherwise would heve re-
NAMED dry. Water in the cellar OF one
brick house caused crumbling OF the foun-
dalton to such an extent that occupancy
became dangerous and the owner moved
out. Farmers are doing nothing and much
ground on the bottom is 30 wet that It is
doubtful II corn can be got in at all, and
much that is in is likely to rot II Is good
for wheat and rye, but oats are slow.
Pastures are so backward and so soft thai

this letter the same publicity that you gave

him the news of the death OF his mother
because OF his change of address, but It Is
false that his mother died OF grief at his

Not Lookins Up Property.

Governor Mickey said II was not in the
province Of the board to so out and hunt
up property to be assessed, but to hx
the assessment of railroad property in ac-
cordance with the assessment Of lands and
other property.
Mr.. Ure urged that the board assess
railroad property on one-sixth Of its value
because 1t was right that II should be thus
assessed. 1t was within the power of the
board 20 do this. and he was sure that
II the railroads were made TO pay their
just proportion of the taxes. the railroads
would see that the land valuation came
up. even II they had to file complaints
with the county board TO do 30. He quoted
the net earnings OF the Union Pacific and
the Burlington and showed where their
assessment was entirely too low. He made
his fight on these two roads and paid no
attention to the other systems. He called
attention to the fact that some roads whose
earnings were very little were assessed as
high per mile as other companies whose
earnings were enormous.
After Mr.. IRE. r. d. Pollard, represent
ing the Burlington. talked. He quoted
figures In answer to Mr.. Ure's figures and
attempted 10 show that the Burlington
system was not assessed too low.
The members OF the board spoke OF the
added power given 10 the board under the
new law. which becomes operative In Sep
TENDER, and each member seemed pleased
that tho law granted the board the right TO
reduce or increase the assessment OF any
county In the aggregate. The sentiment Of
the board VAS that IN its September meet

aue.tion Of RiEht Of way.

In Beatrice Mr.. IRE said the right of way
of the railroad was 800 feet. which con-
tanned about sixty acres of land, and the
value OF the property there was equal to
a greater portion of the valuation of the
property in the town. The railroads there
were assessed at 8 3-16 per cent OF the val
uation of the property and they paid 3 $40
per cent of the school taxes. He told of
the trouble in getting assessed the seventy
two acres of land in the shop yards Of the
Union Pacific company In Omaha, and he
Shove to the board a plat with the land
assessed n not assessed. Mr.. Scribner
interrupted to tell the board that his COM
pany had filed a map showing the lots and
the tracks on the lots. Mr.. Ure said the
tracks were not on the right of way. or on
what should be the right OF way. and II the
tracks were there they must be under the
ground. Mr. scribner claims that this was
all assessed locally and Mr.. IRE said he
couldn't hnd IT on the records.
Mr.. IRE then asked the board 20 con-
slider this fact: That over the Union Pa
cinc tracks into Omaha the trains OF the
Rock Island. Northwestern, Missouri Pa
cihc, Omaha & Missouri Valley ran for a
distance Of hve or six miles and had no
tracks of their own. He wanted these
roads or the Union Pacific to pay taxes
on the assessed valuation per mile on these
roads for these few miles. rs TO whether
this tax should be paid into Douglas county
alone or pro-rated among the various
counties OF the state occupied much time.
From the argument 1t was apparent that
neither the other counties nor Douglas
will get any OF 1t.

elected senator's or governors from any
walk Of life, but only he who has won the
right to wear this little bronze button can

close of his address and frequently was In
