There is nice muddle over race trotted
at Portland, Oregon, on the 18th of last
September, six starters contesting the race,
j. Hastings mare Clara L., won the first
heae, the next three being won by Home
stake. The latter horse was driven by Ed

Hugh Kirkendall, of this city. Kirkendall
also started his bay mare, Lady Maxim.
Thomas H. Tongue, of Hillsboro, Oregon.
had his mare, Kitty Ham. in the race and
she was placed fourth by the judges; and
he made complaint to the national board of
appeals to the effect that the same man.
Kirkendall, was controlling two
horses, Homestake and Lady Max
i'm, in the same race. On the
9Th inst. telegram came out from
New York that the money won bv Homo
stake and Lady Maxim WAS to be divided
between the third and fourth horses-Lndv
Maxim and Kitty Ham. Secretary Gunst
of the Portland club. is not yet in receipt Of
the official findings from Secretary Moss
of the national association, but thinks that
the official notification will be in effect
that the 800 paid to Homestake must he
refunded and given to Clara L; and that
the 800 paid Clara l.. must be put bacIk
into the treasury and divided between Kitty
Ham and Lady Beach, who were placed

THE COURTS.

County, Supreme and United States Court
to Convene Soon.
The district court which adjourned be-
fore Christmas will be in session again on
Monday morning next at ten o'clock. Az
the petit jurors were discharged before ad-
journment for the term there will be no
jury trials for some time. There will be
considerable work for the court, however,
in the way of settling motions and ques-
tions of pleadines.
The next to convene will be the supreme
court, This tribunal will meet at noon on
the first day In January. Since its adjourn
ment there have not been many cases fled
ON appeal from the lower courts.
The United States district and circuit
courts, over which Judge Knowles presides,
will be in session again by the 18th of next
month, when it is expected that a number
of important cases will be decided. Proba
bly, the cases in which most interest ia taken
are those in which portions of the Northern
Pacific railroad company's land grant is in
volved, being contests between claimants of
mineral claims located within the bounda-
ries Of the grant. The parties interested
will not abandon this class of litigation un-
til decision is had from the supreme court
of the United States.

Report OF Adjutant General Douglas and
| Gossip of the Militia.
The National guard Of Montana consists
OF one reRimert-ten companies-of infan-
try, two troops of cavalry, one battery OF
artillery. and band. 1.-THE condition OF
the troops is satisfactory" says Adiutant
General s. r. Douglas in his annual re-
port to Governor Toole. :'They are fairly
supplied with arms, clothing and accou-
trements. No encampment has been held
| this year, hence the expense has been re-
duced to minimum"
On the general staff of Commander in
Chief Toole are the following officers:
Adjutant Reneral-Brig. Gen. s. r. Doug
las, Helena.
Quartermaster Reneral-Brie. Gen. G. w.
Hoffman, Bozeman.
Commissary General Brig. Gen. Joseph

The unattached cavalry consists
9 ae,sn troop ana T. t Capitol guard, Of
artillery is battery A, Of Helena. The
strength of the Montana militia is fifty
three commissioned officers and 612 enlist
ed men. total of 665. Included in the
quartermaster' stores are 558 rifles. III
sabres, and sixty cannon, in the state
armory in serviceable conditions; 2l7 rifles
and q mountain howitzer in the Virginia
City arsenal.
Adjutant General Douglas makes no
recommendation in his report but it is
known that the legislature at it's coming
session will be called on to cut down the
appropriation for the support of the
national guard, if it can be done without
impairing its efficiency. The state spends
about 0.0O0 year to keep up an organi-
cation Of less than 700 men. The greater
portion of this is on account of the annual
encampment, where the cost of transporting
men and arms is a big item. It is expected
that The legislature will make an investi-
CATION of the subject with the view
of reducing the expenses of the
service, without reducing the number Of
men. or making them less efficient in case
of need. The militia officers themselves
are divided on the subject. Some think it
can be done. others that it cannot. There
was no encampment this year on account
of the failure of the last legislature to make
any appropriation for the service. For this
reason the expenses for 1880 were practical
ly nothing,

THE COUNTY TAX MONEY.
Four More Days in Which to Pay
Before Penalty is
Added.
About Seventy Thousand Dollars
Collected SO Far from
Taxpayers.
Tho Three Courts ON the Hin to Take
Up Business Again After
Adjournment.

Counting to-day there remains but foul
days in which to pay taxes in order to es.
cape the penalty Of 10 per cent which il
added to the assessment after the first OF
January. Then there comes an additional
10 per cent. which is put upon property ad-
vertised as delinquent. It has been esti.
mated, in round figures, that about $3.50, OO(
will be collected by the county treasurer
during the quarter ending on tho first Of
March next. OF this amount something
near $4,000 has already been paid in. Sew
eral OF the large taxpayers have made theiI
payments, but there are number who have
not yet deposited their tax money with the
treasurer. The interest on the money due
from taxpayers who have large holdings il
quite an item. and. as is qensrally the case,
these parties wait until the last day given
them by the law before tho penalty of 10
per cent. additional is made to their assess
ments.
There are some citizens holding property
who will not have to pay taxes, but these
instances are not many. In several
cases during the last session of the county
commissioners the board exempted from
taxation the property of needy widows, who
find it difficult enough to make a living
and still harder to get enough money to-
Rether to pay taxes. It is believed that the
action Of the commissioners was wise, and
seems to have met with public approval, TO,
no complaints have been made about the
matter.
The usual number of complaints have
been made in regard to erroneous ASSESS
ments, and this has caused the county
treasurer some annoyance. A good many
taxpayers do not seem to understand that
the treasurer has nothing to do with MAX
ing the assessments and 20 to him with
their complaints. The time of MIR. Rarden
and his deputy is pretty we'll taken up
about this time; still they do not hesitate
to go out of their way to render such as
sistance as they can in Strengthening up
matters for taxpayers who have had prop
erty assessed to them which belongs to
other people.
The assessors office has been visited
daily since the rolls we're made up, by citi-
zens in search of relief. The board of
county commissioners were also visited by
a good many people who claimed that their
assessments were unjust. All of these
complaints have been investigated by the
commissioners and the assessor and in in
stances where it was evident that the tax
payer had been enormously assessed prompt
correction of the lists followed.
