1t appears that eighty-two million
dollars represents the increase in the
valuation of the taxable property in
Minnesota for the past year, and the
total valuation for the year ending Dec.
81, 1888, is over half a billion dollars.
These figures are from table complied
by State Auditor Braden from the re-
ports sent in by the county auditors.
OF the half billion, 1854, 677, $50 is in
real estate, and $l14,O92, 296 in personal
property.
The seizure of Canadian railway cars
at Detroit has been entirely eclipsed Ey
the seizure of five miles Of track of the
St. Croix & Penobscot railroad, road
I which runs from Calais, Me-, up the
| st. Croix valley to Princeton, in the
same state. At Barring the road crosses
the St. Croix river into New Brunswick.
and for five miles is undoubtedly within
Canadian territory. The road has been
built for some years, but the question
OF collecting duty on the materials ori.
ginally used in construction has never
been raised, although they were wholly
imported from the states. Recently,
! however, the line was entirely refitted
4 with new ties, rails and fastenings and
a telephone service. In bringing into
Canada the materials used in refittino
the line, no representations were made
to the Canadian customs department.
and accordingly the five miles of track
/ in New Brunswick have been seized BY
the customs officers at Stephens, acting
under instructions from Inspector Mac
Laren, of St. Johns. The value of the
seizure is $50, 900. Pending the settle
ment, traffic will not be interrupted.
