EAST GOING DOWN.
Western and Central Kansas Counties
Show Increase in Valuation.


It is a remarkable fact that most Of
the rich eastern counties Of Kansas are
showing decreases in their returns of
taxable property, as made by the coun-
ty clerks to the state auditor, while the
increases come chiefly from the central
and west part of the state. few
western counties show decreased valu-
ations, but most of them return in
creases.
Doniphan and Wabaunsee counties
are the only ones in the eastern part
of the state which have returned an in
creased assessed valuation, out of 80
counties reporting. On the other hand
Anderson, Brown Chase, Jefferson,
Johnson, Linn, Lyon, Marshall, Ne
maha and Pottawatomie show d de-
creased valuation
In the central third of the state Nc
Pherson. Rice and Russell show de-
creases, while Barton. Geary. Harper,
Harvey, Jewell, Lincoln. Mitchell Os-
borne, Ottawa. Riley and Smith have
returned an increased valuation.
In the western counties, only Ellis,
Grant. Kearny, and Wallace show de-
creases, while Graham, Cove Kiowa,
Logan, Rawlins, Sheridan, Stevens and
Thomas show an increase.
The wheat belt counties as a rule,
report an increased valuation. Only
four. Ellis. Mcpherson, Rice and Rus
sell, show d decrease, While eleven of
last years wheat counties show an in
crease. They are Barton. Graham,
Harper, Harvey, Lincoln, Mitchell, Os-
borne, Ottawa, Rawlins, Sheridan and
Smith

New Rura! Routes.

Orders have been received at the sew
eral offices to start new rural routes on
Feb. 18th from Henderson, Vernon,
Owosso, and two at Corunna. The or
der for the local Office provides for an
almost complete encouragement of the
several routes now running out of the
city and the shortening of each. The
eighth route will make it possible to
give service to nearly every family re-
ceiving mail through the office. 1t is
expected that the order increasing the
length of the Bennington route from a
half day to full day route will be issued
within a day or so. These new routes
and changes will give the county almost
complete selvice-thanks to the persist
ent work of Congressman Fordney 1t
is expected that the third route will be
put in at Durand and Byron people will
also ask for the third route With these
additions the people of the county will
be better cared for than many counties
which have the county system"

New Letter Boxes.

During the past few weeks nine ad-
