Mr.. A. B. Stout of Madison gave
very interesting and instructive talk
on the subject "Indian Earthworks in
Wisconsin" last Monday evening. Mr..
Stout first gave general idea of the
distribution of Indian mounds
in the United States and then
dwelt upon Wisconsin. He
had a map showing where the mounds
were thckest. From this it appears
that Indian mounds are found all over
the United States but chiefly in the
Middle West along the Mississippi
River, Missouri River, Ohio River and
Cumberland River and in Wisconsin
along the Wisconsin River, Fox River,
Rock River and near Madison. He
stated that it was impossible to deter
mine the number of mounds in Wis
consin but that a count made in few
of the sections revealed that there
were over twenty-five hundred there
alone.
Mr.. Stout gave stereopticon view
Of one of the largest mounds in the
United States, mound in Illinois
which covered seventeen acres and was
as large as the third pyramid of Egypt
He pointed out that Indians build their
mounds to represent some animal and
showed numerous slides verifying this.
He explained clearly that these
mounds were built by Indians and by
no other people. He also gave few
theories as to the origin which are
held by a few people. He showed
clearly how every tribe of Indians had
its own totem.
Indian mounds were built in numer-
GUS shapes, most of them taking the
appearance of conical mounds. Many
tribes of Indians, however, built long
linear shaped mounds.
Mr.. Stout had in all about one hun
dred slides of Indian mounds and earth
works and said in his talk that Wis
consn is one of the few states that is
covered with mounds. II sometimes
happens that tribes of Indians living
but very short distance apart built
entirely different shaped mounds. The
most common mound that is most easily
recognized is the mound shaped like a
bear.

Land Values.

Lands per acre are valued in
Kentucky from 1881 to 5000.
The poorest land, according to its
value in Kentucky, Is III Rowan
county, and the highest priced is
in Fayette county. The values
range according TO the location,
the poorest being in the eastern
part of the state and the richest
land being in the central and
western part of the state
The total value of all land in
Kentucky for taxation is $3o1, -
555, 6lS, and the total number of
ceres "A, 223. .6S5, making an av-
erage value of land per acre
$14 80.
In Powell county the average
value of lands as assessed is So. 81
per acre. In adjoining counties
it is in Montgomery, $3l.21: in
Clark, $3S. 26; Estill $7.3l; Lee
81 81; Wolfe S6. 4G: Menefee
S4.5G.
From the above figures it will
be seen that the land in Powell
county is worth one-iifth of that
in Montgomery county and one
sixth of ttat in Clark county,
though our peopleare continually
selling out their lands here at a.
bout $1,000 per acre and going TO
our bluegrass neighbors and pay
ing ten times as anuch per acre
and sometimes even fifteen times
as much per acre. The cheap
ness of our land should be an in
ducement for imuiigrants instead
of discouraging SCR people and
causing them to sacrifice what

building centrally located. "A

offered the city and different
sites suggested for a new build
ing. 1t is to be hoped that what
ever arrangements are made IL
GOOD location will be selected up
ON which is erected or may he e.
rected substantial brick or stone
building. The city having the
ready cash should not hesitate TO
invest it in something profitable
as well as useful and ornamental.

ours to us that il location in the
central part of town should be
had with lower rooms to rent
winch would yield good interest
on the investment besides being

to them to build the road. The
