VALUATION BY TOWN OR STATION
Darlington VIII Garry Practically
the Same Valuation as Two
Years AgO and Union Pa
ciAc Much Less.
tFrom a staff correspondentl

VI IOHl n StaII correspondent
LINCOLN, June 2-The State Board OF
Assessment has completed the distribution
of the values of the Union Pacific and
Burlington railroad systems, with the ex-
ception of some s445 a mile of the latter
which is yet to be apportioned.
With regard to the Burlington, the board
adopted an entire new method of distribu-
ton. Instead of distributing to each sub
division of the system a certain amount OF
the total valuation, the board paid no at
tention to the subdivisions. but instead
apportioned the valuation between towns
or station. This. the board believed, would
permit of a more equitable division. This
makes a comparison of the apportionment
this year with last year difficult.
While on the face of the findings Of the
board the roads have received somewhat
Of a boost, the records show that the Bur
lington is assessed per mile practically
what it was assessed two years ago, while
the average valuation of the Union Pacific
for the miles under operation is much less
than it was in 1907. The average assess
ment is also less than for the year 1905.
according to the figures of Secretary of
State Junkin, who insisted upon a larger
increase on this road and on the Burling-
ton this year.
In 1907 the Union Pacific was valued at
SIS, 900 a mile, in 1905 1t was valued at $7o,97O
a mile and this year the average valuation
per mile under operation is q ,S27. In 1907
the mileage returned under operation was
96l. AZ. This year the mileage under opera
ton is LOSS. 80 and in 1908 It was 1,o41.75.
For the three years the total valuation
of this system was as follows: 1907, q ,4SS,
100; 1858. $40, 93S, 400; 1909, SIS, 767,S 1926.
Analysis of ChRDEes.'~
Under the new plan of distribution OF
the Burlington the main line as now oper-
ated from Oreopolis to Omaha and Ash
land and from Plattsmouth to the Colo
RADIO state line by way of Ashland, is now
valued at $50, 900 a mile. Last year this
same line from Omaha to Ashland was
valued at $45, 900 a mile, from Kenesaw TO
oxford at $33, 500, and from oxford to the
Colorado state line at 10000.
That part of the old main line from
Kenesaw to Kearney, which is operated
as a branch, was formerly value at SS5,0OC
a mile, and is now reduced to s25, 900 a
mile.
The Omaha and North Platte, one of the
old separate corporations of the Burling-
ton, extended from Omahs to Ashland and
then to Schuyler and was valued at $50,
900 a mile last year from Omaha to Ash
land, and at $42, 500 a mile from Ashland
to Schuyler. Now that part of the lin
from Ashland to Schuyler is reduced tc
$50, 900 a mile.
The line from Nebraska City to York by
way of Lincoln was formerly valued al
$40, 008 a mile. The new valuation for thu
same line from. Nebraska City to Lin
coin is $35, 900 a mile, and from Lincolr
to York and to the Wyoming state lint
is SOL, 900 a. mile.
The board apportioned the valuation Of

Distressing Accident.

Last Thursday evening Mr. Daniel
Huff, aged about IS years, was struck
by an automobile belonging to DR.. g.
C. Jones, receiving injuries from which
he died on Sunday. Mr.. Huff was
crossing Jefferson street and in getting
out of the way of "a buggy stepped in
front of the automobile, which was too
close to him to stop, and he was struck
by the rear part and. thrown against
the pavement, receiving a broken
shoulder and other injuries. He was
taken to the Kings Daughters hospi-
tai in DR.. Jones' machine, and his
wounds dressed. He was then taken
to the home of his son, Mr.. E. l.. Huff,
where he died on Sunday morning.
DR.. Jones did everything in bis pow
er to stop his machine, but the distance
was so short that all he could do was
to try and turn 1t far enough to escape
striking Mf. HUFF, but the street was
too narrow for him to make the Turn

Huff, as stated. Mr.. Huff is survived

Now, Mr.. Cannon himself is the

he is the House itself. When he calls

This consideration for the infirmities
