One peculiar feature comes up in con-
nection with the Union Pacific right-of-
way and the ratio OF actual value 10
railroad valuation by reason OF severance
cost. The Union Pacific right-of-way
Is claimed by the company to be 100
feet wide. while other roads have only
800 feet. The state holds that TO multiply
the value Of 400 feet by the same figures
as the narrower right-of.way IN. order
TO ascertain the severance value would
be wrong. as the damages or cost OF
severance would be the same actual
amount whether the strip taken was
one foot or 40 feet and Is determined
by the fact OF segration rather than the
amount taken On the entire right-of.
way of the Union Pacific the difference
In the multiple claimed by. the. company
and the state would be a, substantial
sum. -zt 49,

The weather is moderating some
but not sufficient for farmers that
have so much cotton in the field
but the present prices don't en-.
courage any one to gather it any
way.
We regret to report the death Of
our friend, Walter Geaden, but we
only hope his state is better than
it was of this lite for its even as the
one of old said, ave are of but
few days and full of trouble"
Now is the time for the farmers
to begin planning to diversity the
crops for 1912 and plant more corn
more potatoes, more beans, SOW
more peas and see if the price
wont be better next fall.
Some folks, when they hear ot
the death of a friend, about The
first thing you hear SAID is, did he
belong to the Woodman? But sci
dom do we hear anything said as tc
whether he was christian or not
Oh, dear readers, but we should
consider that One has said II,
would stick closer than a brother.
We are honest when we say W,
believe it would be of more interest
to the farmers to talk more abou
what we ought to plant instead o
so much about who will be iudg,
or governor for it seems as if the!
have but little effect on the price
of cotton.
