Those Delinouent Taxes.

JAMESTOWN, March 4.-The Northern Pl.
cifc railroad tax cases have been decided by
Judge Rose against the company. The COM
pany asked for a perpetual Injunction to pre-
vent the treasurer Of Foster, Wells and La
moure counties from selling the company's
land grant for delinquent taxes, and the cases
were argued here at the November term of
court and decided against the plaintiff. The
railroad then asked and obtained leave to
amend their complaint and alleged that the
counties were stopped from taking future pro-
ceedings because they had accepted their prop
osition Of the gross earnings tax. This was
demurred to by E. W. Camp, of Jamestown.
and J. NJ. Bartholomew, Of La Moure county,
for the counties and the Judge has sustained
the demurrer and dismissed the amended COM
plant with costs against the road. The cases
will be appealed to the supreme court and will
be argued at the May term at Bismarck.

We notice that several of our exchanges are
basing the claims Of their counties to repre-.
sentation In the constitutional convention on
the apportionment made by the Dakota legis.
latve bill. This is incorrect. The omnibus
bill provides for the division of North Dakota
into twenty five districts, Tin proportion to the
population in each Of said districts and coun.
ties as near as may be-" each Of which districts
shall be entitled to three delegates. Assuming
the population OF North Dakota to be 225,Oo0,
this would give one delegate to every 5000 Of
population, and will require that the districts
shall approximate as near as possible to popu-
lations Of 5000. Thus Cass county will be en-
titled to nine delegates on a population of
2S,O00, while Traill and Steele counties have
just about the requisite population to form one
district emitting them to three delegates. Tho
bill further provides that mo elector shall vote
for more than two persons for delegates to
such convention" leaving the inference that
an elector may, If he so DESIRES cast two votes
for one person, thus providing for what is
known as minority representation. The gov
ernor, chief justice and secretary Of the terri
tory are entrusted with the duty of forming
the districts.

CITIZENS OF PEAKS ISLAND
Talk over Their Taxes and Favor q
Petition to tho City Council.

The adjourned meeting of the tax payers
of Peaks Island, who objected to the tax
rating made by the assessors, was held
last evening, after some delay caused
by the absence of the chairman and
the secretary. Finally, Mr.. Jones, the chair
man arrived. but the secretary. Mr.. Henry
Trefethen. was out of town. George Stevens
was elected secretary pro TEN.
Mr.. Jones called John Il. Bracket to the
chair and addressed the meeting. stating his
belief that the best thing to do would be to
adopt resolution stating the fact Of the
unequal taxation, and calling upon the as
SCISSORS TO re-rate the valuation. to assess
taxes equally according to that valuation,
and to rebate 20 per cent. of the valuation as
compensation for the lack of advantages
which the islanders should enjoy. :.
The committee which was appointed at the
last meeting to call upon the Mayor, report
ed that they had called upon him, and he
had signifed his willingness to do all in his
power to settle the difficulty. BE had sug-
gested special meeting of the city govern
ment to consider the matter. but thought
that on the whole the matter had better be
brought before the regular October meeting
OF the city government in the form of petit
ton. At the same time he stated that the
assessors were not amenable to the city gov
eminent. and would do as they saw fit, even
If the council recommended a rebate.

and crushing his skull.
