All wood work on the interior of the building is planed smooth, sand-papered and then varnished, which brings out the grain of the wood and makes an ele gant and lasting finish. The exte rior has a most pleasing appearance viewed from any direction, and is free from all ginger-bread work, which saves consider able in the cost of erecting and keeping in repair. The building is provided with a hot-air furnace in the basement, which is the modern way of heating. The living room has a large, plain and neat tire place, which gives to this room a most pleasing and home-like effect. The second floor has three large bedrooms, with lanre dressing closets, one of which can be used tga sewing room if desired. The bath room 7x10, and has a bath tub, lavatory and closet.

It HAND, Atchtec. ad The Tolk county tax levy for 1907 will be 11.7 mills, as against 23 mills in 1906. This levy was decided upon by Judge Coad and Commissioner Riddell at the regular January term of County Court, Commissioner Teal being absent The levy will be apportioned as follows : State 3.6 mills County 3.8 mills School 2.8 mills Road 1.5 mills Total 11.7 mills The 23 mill levy in 1906 raised $92,805. The 11.7 mill levy in 1907 will raise $102,232, or $9427 more than was raised last year.. The levying of this extra amount was caused by the high state levy. In 1906 the county paid to the state $19,187 ; this year It must pay $31,467. As the difference Is $12,27? and the county has levied only $9427 additional tax, It will be seen that there will be nearly $3000 less money for county purposes this year thaa was raised last year. Ordered that $19.40 be transferred from the General Fund to Road District No. 6. Petition of Annie Brown to be per mitted to make change in the county road near the .lands of the Frank Brown estate ordered that petition be granted upon condition that petitioner place the new road in as good con dition for travel as the present road and to the satisfaction of the court.
