BONNER COUNTY
IS WEALTHY
Abstract Of Tax Rolls Place Valuation
In the Neishborhood
of SIS, 900, 900
TIMBER VALUES ARE HIGHEST
Large Increase In Number Of Acres
Under Cultivation

That Bonner comfy is fast be-
coming one of the riches. counties
of the state is shown by the alb
stract of the tax rolls which have
recently been completed by the
county auditor Office. The in
crease in the development of agri-
cultural lands is largely responsible
for the increasing valuation of the
county says the News of Standpoint,
The abstract shows that there
are 45,776 acres of agricultural
land and it is valued at $20.83 per
acres making a total valuation of
$685. 97. Much of the land has
been prepared for agricultural uses
in the past year. There are 800, 629
acres of timber land and it is valued
at $1,000 per acres, making total
valuation of $5,7S5, 131. These
figures show that outside of Clear
water county, Bonner is the rich
est timbered county in the state.
There are 237 SAB acres of cut-over
and burnt over lands which are
valued at 5000 per acre. With
in the next year many hundreds of
acres of this land will be cleared
and placed in fruit or agricultural
crops which will greatly increase
the valuation.
There are "a sawmills in the
county which are valued at
1858, 4O5.
The number of head of cattle
has increased some in the past year
and the valuation placed on them
is $44,712. The largest increase,
however, has been in milk cows
which number has increased to
1869 head. They are valued at
ISL, AIS. There are ,496 head OF
horses and mules in the county
and they are valued at S160,710,
The abstract of the county does
not show any thoroughbred stock
in the county, but this is due tc
the fact that the stock has beer
shipped into the county since the
assessments were made.
The bank stock in the county |.
assessed at S162, COS, There ars
three water systems in the county
and they are valued at $40, 900
In all, the personal property il

including the railroads, telegraph

week OF rain tic weather here has
cleared up and left the black mud
roads almost impossible Grocery
merchants have had to deliver goods
by footmen or on horseback because
they could not pull their wagons a.
bout the streets.
Farmers have been coming into
town with four mules pulling the
front wheels OF their wagons. This
looks strange TO a person who is ac-
customed TO seeing a single team
OF mules pulling two loaded wagons.
Farmers here don't want any
more rain until wheat sowing time.

sharper Spectator than themselves.

statement that people there are trad

by showing them that when they
can sell their black land farms for

tiers was to have been here this
week, but owing TO the recent rains
the affair has been postponed.
