1t will be observed by a compa rison of
the two tables that the average valuations
for a majority OF the items named Is very
much lower in Butler County than in the
State at large.
The assessed valuation Of the Burling-
tons Lincoln and Northwestern Railroad
in Butler County for the year 1903 was
$500 per mile, and for the years 1904 and
1905, $500 per mile. or a full valuation of
$32, 500 per mile. The Burlington's Omaha
and North Platte Railroad for the year
1903. in Butler County. was assessed at
$500 per mile. and for 1904 and 1906 at
$500 per mile. or full valuation OF
$42,500 per mile. Each OF the lines referred
to is a branch line having only one pas
senger and one freight train each way for
six days per week.
AS shown above, the lands in Butler
County are undoubtedly worth an average
OF $50 per acre. The average assessment
for 1908 was 1854 per acre, or per cent
OF the full value. II the Lincoln and
Northwestern Railroad was only assessed
at per cent of the full value in 1905
then It was worth for that year on a
valuation OF $3.50 per mile. SIS, 1888 per mile

The names Of Mrs. Charles Henrotin, ex-
president OF the General Federation of
Women's Clubs and originator of the state
| federation; Mrs. Katherine Waugh McCul-
| loch Of the Equal Suffrage league Of Illi-
nos, and Mrs. Ella S. Stewart are associ-

qualification" dropped from the new charter
and thereby gain municipal suffrage for
women in that city. Mrs. Henrotin and her
associates have been endeavoring to get a
| hearing before the charter convention and
are hopeful OF the desired result. Two pc
titions are already in the field, the first
| for general circulation to demonstrate the
strength of what the suffragists call the
square dear' sentiment among the men
and women of Chicago. 1t provides that
women be allowed equal suffrage with men
| in municipal affairs. The second petition is
in circulation among the clergy and is
headed by an appeal by Bishop Samuel
| Fallows and some Of the most prominent
ministers and clergymen of the city and
| suggests that December II or some date
early in January be set aside for a sermon
advocating giving the ballot to women.
Unity in Diversity" the motto OF the
General Federation of women's clubs, ha:

NEW RAILROAD SURVEY. 4
Mystery Connected with Projected
Limo Over sangre de crIsto

Denver. Sept. 17.-San Luis valley
people, says the Republican, are much
interested in some mysterious survey.
ing which Is being carried on in their
country, with the evident purpose in
view of building a railroad which will
cross the continental divide in a new
place.
The surveyors, who refuse to state
their connection with any railroad,
started some time ago from Durango
and have worked up the San Juan river
to the neighborhood of Platoro, cross
ing near the head of the Conejos river
and some twenty miles north of Ala.

grade was located up Mosca pass, but
that was made up largely of bridges
and tunnels and was afterwards aban
doned. Then another grade was made
up MedanO pass in the Sangre de Girls.
to mountains. The survey then ex
tends down through the Wet Mountain
valley to the st. Charles river and
over toward Beulah.
Several theories have been advanced
as TO the nature of the work and who
is behind 1t. 1t has been charged to
the Rock Island and the Denver & Ric
Grande roads, neither of which will ad.
init their connection with it. That the
work is to be made permanent, how
ever, seems certain. The surveyors
are buying more horses and outfits all
the time and evidently have no inten
tion Of ceasing work.
The San Luis valley people generally
think the survey is being conducted by
the Rock Island railroad. and that the
present work Is to establish a new
crossing of the great divide. Later, II
is claimed. the Rock Island will build
from the st. Charles river to Pueblo
and at the Durango terminal will be
gin the long task of building on west
ward to Los Angeles. 1t is contended
that some one has finally figured out
way of getting through the
grand canon of the Colorado to the
west, feat which has puzzled railway
engineers for many years.
In favor of the Rock Island theory II
Is said that the coal regions of Dur
ango have long needed an outlet te
the coast and that this system has
been desirous of furnishing it. Theor
etical railroad building has long beer
charged up to the Rock Island route.
Another theory is that the surveying
being done has particular reference tc
the Wet Mountain district and its prod
ucts. Denver railroad men generally
say they know nothing of the work be
ing done and scout at all theories pre-
sented.

MONUMENT UNVEILED,
sIrE OF sEEcHER ISLAND FIGHT.
Ceremonies Under Charge Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic
Address BY General
Forpyth.

Denver, Sept. ia News special
from Wray, Colorado. last night says:
The Beecher island reunion closed to-
day with the unveiling Of the monu-
ment this afternoon. A heavy rain
last night greatly marred the ardor Of
the crowd, and the rain continuing all
the forenoon, many Of the people had
started for home. However, there were
several hundred present, and the beau
tiful ceremony was carried out In its
entirety.
The unveiling was In charge OF the
department of Colorado and Wyoming,
G. A R., and was to have been directly
In charge Of DIR. Curfman, the depart
ment commander, but owing to sick
ness in the family he was unable to
be present, but Adjutant General Dan
iels was present and represented him
in the work, assisted by the depart
ment chaplain, DR.. Brooks Of Fort
Morgan. The night Colonel Carpenter
arrived on the island with the relief
for the scouts they all Joined in singing
"Tenting Tonight" and the ceremony
of unveiling the monument opened by
singing this song.
AS the words fell from the lips of
the singers tears fell from the eyes Of
the survivors standing within the rail-
ing about the monument. At the con-
clusion of the song General Forsyth
stepped forward and with a short, but
appropriate address, dedicated the
statue to the heroes dead. to the heroes
living and to the heroes of posterity.
After his address Adjutant General
Daniels proceeded with the regular
ceremonial service of the G. A. R., and
just at the close Miss Alice Donovan
pulled the string that held the yelling,
and the beautiful statue stood forth
free to view, a notable memory to the
purpose for which 1t was erected.
AS the veil fell to the base cheer,
after cheer rent the air. This closed
the best reunion ever yet held at the
island. but now that it is assuming per.
manency through the efforts Of the as
sociation. and mostly through the eff
forts Of the associations untiring presi-
dent, Robert Lyman. the people of this
vicinity are looking forward to many
more happy gatherings when they and
the scouts will gather in common re-
union to live over again and again the
scenes that have made this spot ia
nous.

The battle of Beecher island began
September II, 1868. and continued for
nine days, during which the Ameri-
cans withstood the assaults of 1000
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians, under
the personal command of that fearless,
sagacious and extremely cruel chief,
Roman Nose. Among those who gave
up their lives in this memorable strug-
gle on the then barren plains of
eastern Colorado was young Fred
