Charles IL Wood said IN part:
The United States will soon pour
FORTH its exports from the north,

service for freight, not on wagons.

Real Value of the
Nebraska Farms
Omaha Road Makes an Inter
Tax Commissioner Polleys OF the
esting Tabulation.

An interesting compilation showing land
sales and values in northeastern Nebraska
has been made by T. A. Polleys OF 81.
Paul, tax commissioner of the Omaha rail-
road Mr. Polleys gives figures for the
counties of Burt, Cedar. Cunning, Dakota
Dixon, Knox. Madison, Pierce, Stanton
Thurston, washington. Wayne and the
period covered is from october, 1907, to
April, 1910. two and a half years.
In this group of counties the total num-
Der of transfers during the period was
4S65, and the acres sold totaled 565,S97.
The average price per acre for the group
was 1898 Cunning county land ranged
highest with an average OF $s9.2S, and
Washington was second with an average
value of Sab. Knox county land sold
lowest at an average Of $500. The next
lowest in average value was Thurston,
$500. Burt county's average was Sass.
The average assessed value of the lands
sold was $4O.6s, and the range was from
So. 50 in Knox to $50 .16 in Washington and
$50 SO in Cunning. Burt county land was
assessed at SIS. so and Wayne at S5l.64
In the whole group the ratio of assessed
value to sale price was 67-SS per cent, being
highest in Thurston at Z7.aO and lowest in
Knox at $40.
The average assessed value per acre for
the group was Sl5.& while the average
true value. as figured by Mr. Poleys. was
Sos. II. He finds that the yearly rate OF
increase in average true value per acre
during the period was 1l,6 per cent.
County estimated true value per acre on
April /. 1910, for the group was S76.35, with
washington running high at Sl02.SS, Cum
ing second at SlO0.S and ranging down TO
S5SS2 in Knox. For the group the ratio of
present assessed value per acre to esti-
mated true value April /, 1910, is given as
S59sl. Here again Thurston Is high at
$3.50, Burt second at $72.Sl and Washing
ton third at SIS. So Knox is lowest in thIs

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Independent Telephone Company
Asks Release of Bond.
CITY COUNCIL NOT YET READY
Will wait Until Conduit system IL
Entirely Complete Before vail
dating Franchise-D. Erion
Resigns.

The Independent Telephone company has
for some days been requesting the South
Omaha city council TO release its bond and
thus validate the franchise Of the com
pany. The company under the terms OF the
contract had until May % to gets its ex-
change built and have its lines in oper-
alton. There were twenty-five telephones
in operation on that date and by that
fact the company maintained that 1t had
fulfilled the contract and asked the re-
lease Of the bonds.
This bond was given two years ago when
the company applied for a franchise, and
was 10 assure the completion OF the
plant within two years.
Tho South Omaha council at its meeting
Monday night refused to release the bond
on the ground that the conduts OF the
company were incomplete ana the exchange
building was not yet finished. 1t is not
likely that the council will make any fight
on the franchise as there is no desire to
inJure the company. The bond Will prob
ably be released as soon as the conduit
system is completed.
The work OF laying the conduits has
progressed very rapidly during the last
three weeks. One week more will probably
see the main lines of the system finished.
IL is said that the work has narrowed
down already so that about 100 men have
been dispensed with.
H. c. Murphy, city attorney, was slightly
disappointed at the attitude OF the council,
as he recommended that the company had
practically fulfuilled its contract.
Men In Assault Case out.
Six OF the eight South Omaha men i'm
plioated In the assaults, from which Ida
Mikkelsen, the girl of 16, is said to have
suffered on May /, at Vista Springs, are
now out on bonds, pending their appearance
before the district court The two remain
ing men are Willard Stanley and Thomas
Cauley. The sixth man Of the octet So
cured bonds yesterday. 1t is likely that
the remaining men may secure their re-
lease.
The men released are Anton Korlnek.
Joe Drahos, Joe Kraijcek, Mike Slayer,
Joseph Vendra and William Sedlacek.
h ID. ErIOn Resigns.
d. Erion, who has for many years been
the South Omaha representative of the
Omaha Electric Light and Power company,
has resigned his position to engage In busi-

Haynes OF the Omaha offices OF the COM
