Mr.. Miller commended that the val.
uation of the road, placed upon il
by former boards OF $43,580 per
mile, was grossly excessive and tina,
reduction of at least Is per cent
should be made.
Says Assessment Unfair.
T. A. Polleys, tax commissioner Of
the Northwestern, contended that
the valuation of the Northwestern
road had been unfair when COM
pared to the assessment of other
property in Nebraska counties
crossed by that line of road.
T. The stock and bond value of the
entire Northwestern system, accord
ing to Mr.. Polleys during, the five
year period ending with the close OF
1918, as fixed by the Wisconsin tax
commission, was 4l1,558,375, with
out any deduction for incorporating
assets, about $3,500,000 less than the
stock and bond value computed by
the same commission.
The all-track mileage of the North
western in Nebraska is about 1924
per cent of the entire system. Dur
ing the seven years ending last year
the systems gross earnings within
this state were but 8.22 per cent.
During the same time only 4.3l per
cent of the net earnings we're made
in Nebraska. Taking all these things
into consideration, would give the
100 per cent value of the operating
property in this state as $2o, 06l 900.
The. assessed valuation fixed by the
board last year was $37,S74,055.
The Omaha & Southern interurban
was represented by Ira Lausler, who
said he thought that the valua-
ton should be placed at $1,000 per
mile. Last year the board cut the
valuation from $4,000 to $4,000 per
mile, while three years ago it stood
at $4,000 per mile. He said the road
had never paid returns on the in
vestment.

London, May l0-Liars, arise and
salute your king!
Here's the story which puts the
late Mr.. Munchausen on the kero-
sene circuit and proves that William
Henry Ananias was but a fodder
in the prevarication creche. It's all
about the intelligent sea lions used
BY the British navy to track the
wicked submarine to its lair. Take
a long breath and listen:
In the summer of 1917, says the
Ancient Mariner, the admiralty, be-
ing quite desperate in its hunt for
some sure means of eradicating the
German under-sea pirates, purchased
two perfectly respectable California
sea lions and began carrying out
experiments in lake.
Rewarded With Fish.
Noises were made under water on
one side, and the animal, on jump
ing in, heard the noise and swan
toward it, being rewarded when he
found it by feed of fish. The noise
was made by an electric buzzer I'M
der water. After considerable
amount of this practice the animal
was able to locate the sound each
time.
The animals were then taken
