The assessed valuation of the coun
ty for this year, just completed by
County Auditor Otternes, shows a de-
crease of $28,022 over last year, the
figures being $7,654,01 for 1911 and
$7,625, 1897 for 1912. The decrease is
accounted for by the smaller number
of stock in the county this year, the
lack of feed last year having compelled
the farmers to dispose of all the sur
plus stock. The assessment rolls
show that there are 426 less COWS in
the county than last year, 1902 less
young cattle, 1000 less hogs and 1895
less sheep. Horses were the only class
to show an increase and that was
small. The good crop this year is eX-
pected to bring the figures up to nor
NAL next year.
Long famous for strange and curious
forms of animal life to be found in no
other geological gardens, Cole Broth
ers triple ~menageries this year con
tain an exhibit which is just now oc-
cupying the attention of scientists
and naturalists everywhere. 1t is the
only black camel ever seen in cap
tivity and the only wild one ever
brought to this country. Prof. Knude,
who has given a great deal of study to
the subject, claims he finds this re-
markable beast a descendant of the
few which survived the storms which
about the year 1900 overwhelmed the
village OF the Cobb plateau and killed
all of the people. At any rate it is a
prize of which any show might justly
boast and yet it is but one of the many
invaluable displays made by Cole
Brothers United Shows, which are to
be seen at Bookings, Wednesday,
July "a.
