Paving Contracts Will be Awarded
Today.

The bids for the construction of
the street paving will be opened by
the city clerk at special meeting
held this afternoon at o'clock, and
it is expected that the contract for
the paving will be awarded to the
successful bidder. 1t is one of the
big contracts to be let this season
in the smaller cities, lacking just
one block of being two miles, and
large number of bidders are in the
city to submit bids for the various
kinds of paving. We are fortunate
in having a city council composed Of
good men, whom the people have the
utmost faith in, and they will deter
mine what is best for the city as a
whole in deciding the kind of paw
ing. 1t is expected that on account
of the size Of the contract that some
very favorable bids will be secured.

RAISED ASSESSMENTS
Executive Council Boots Farm Lands
Il Per Cent and Town Lots 10
Per Cent. Other Changes.

County auditor Mclaughlin on
Monday received notice from the
state executive council of material
changes in the assessed valuations
of farm lands, town property and
live stock in Decatur county from the
values returned by the assessors this
year. The biggest change is in the
assessment of farm property, audi
tor Mclaughlin being notified to in
crease the value of all farm lands Fl
per cent and of town lots 10 per
cent. On live stock some of the
values are raised and some are low
cred. The change will make a big
lot of work in the auditors office,
for every assessment has to be figur-
ed over, and it will probably be nee
essary to employ an additional
deputy for several months in order
to complete the tax books in time to
turn them over to the county treas
urer on time.
The boost of 21 per cent in farm
values in this county is on line
with the policy of the executive
council to equalize the values all
over the state, and in all of the ad-
joining counties, as high or higher
ties the values were boosted as much
as Ga per cent. The change, it is
claimed, will not increase the amount
of taxes to be paid to any material
extent, as the state levy will be re-
duced one-half mill, and the county
and township levies will also be re-
duced in order to offset the increase
in the valuation.
The list of changes from the as
SCISSORS figures in Decatur county
fare as follows:
Farm lands, increased 21 per cent.
Town lots, increased 10 per cent.
Colts, one year, increased from
ss41.22 to $45.00.
Colts, two years old, increased
! from $60.62 to $40.
Horses, three years old and over,
Increased from $70.33 to $500.
+ Stations, increased from $224.60
to $4,000.
Mules, increased from $71.O3 to
$4,000.
Feeding cattle, lowered from
$50.79 to $4,000.
Heifers, one year old, lowered
from $500 to $17.00.
Heifers, two years old, increased
from s22.22 to $500.
Cows, three years old and over,
lowered from 1927 to $500.
. Steers, one year old, lowered
from $22.32 to $1,000.
y Steers, two years old; increased
from $28.42 to $1,000.
Steers, three years old, lowered
from S39.79 to $500.
Bulls, increased from $33.SO to
$4,000.
Hogs, six months old or over, low
cred from $10.55 to $3.50.
Sheep, six months old or over, in
creased from 1887 to $3.50.
Goats, six months old or over, low
cred from 1887 to $2.25.
The above prices are to be the av-
erage assessment for all the live
stock in Decatur county. In some
townships they were assessed con-
siderably higher than in others.

He was one of the most enthusl-

crowd at the night show. They have
a very good clean show, and there
were no gambling or skin games
connected with the show. The show
was travelling pretty snort handed

ing quit to work in the harvest field.
The show came here from King City,

Not Quitting Business.

In this issue appears an official
notice of the dissolution of the Cho-
lene Medical Co., of this city. The
dissolution however does not mean
that the business will be discon-
tinued. Some time ago the entire
stock of the company was purchased
by Stempel & Cherrington, of this
city, who will continue the business
and are doing fine business in the
preparations manufactured. 1t was
found that it would be more conven-
lent to carry on the business as a
partnership than as a corporation,
hence the dissolution notice.

held at Rochester and tell the al

many machines, as he stands at the
head of the list of all the salemen.
The company paid all expenses OF
Mr.. Young and wife while at Roches-
ter for week, so they decided to
give their boys an outing and took
them with them. They also visited
New York, Philadelphia, Washing
ton City, and other points of inter-
est in the east.
1t had been thirteen years since
Willard Young left Leon, and he
was surprised and amazed at the
many improvements which have been
made in Leon since he left here.
While he still found many of his old
friends here thirteen years had
made many changes and great
many new business firms and new
faces had replaced those who were
here when he left.
Mr.. Young departed yesterday
morning for Ft. Smith, but Mrs.
Young and the boys will remain
here for a couple of weeks.
