At their session yesterday the state board
OF equalization had before them the reve-
nue. law passed at the last session OF the
legislative assembly, A number of the as
SCISSORS in the state seem TO be somewhat In
doubt about one Of Its provisions relating
to the assessment Of real estate. One clause
OF the act in defining what 10 taxable prop
srty says that the term real estate as
used in the law shall include all mineral
and agricultural land Of every description
upon which final proof and payment have
been made. One case comes from Choteau
county. which was before the board yester-
day. wherein the chairman Of the board of
county commissioners and the assessor arc
divided as to whether the county board Of
appraisers should also include the improve
ments on real estate In fixing the value for
assessment purposes. The assessor, who
under the new revenue law il a member of
the county board of appraisers was of the
opinion that it was not the duty of tho
board to include the improvements in fixing
the value of real estate. The question was
submitted to Attorney-General Haskell,
who holds that the county boards have only
power to determine the value of the bare
soil, without regard to what improvements
are on it. A circular embOdying the views
of the attorney-general WAS ordered by the
state equalization board to be prepared and
sent to the county assessors in the state.

a Convention Mad Up OF Many Represent
tAtivss From All Glasses of
Citizens.

When John Stedman brought down an
umbrella on the ~chairman's table Mt Elec-
trio hall at eight O'Clock last evening to
call the convention to order, he found him
self facing about $50 representative citizens
of Helena. They we're there from all wards
and represented all Glasses. Mr.. j. Is.
Boucher and William Lorey were there to
see that the labor element was not forgot
ten and there WIS a good representation of
capitalists, real estate man and merchants,
including many prominent citizens.
Friends n enemies of the charter were
there together working for a common end.
Thu convention was very well managed.
There were no signs of disorder at any
time and the business was carried through
without delay. h hall, which is we'll
adapted for convention purposes, began
filling up at an early hour. No difficulty WAS
found in securing admission, though it was
the evident intention to keep ont disturb
ing elements. Two gentlemen were at the
door to take tickets but they barred no one
from the room. Around the hall were cards
inscribed with the names of the various
wards. This was done 80 every citizen
could find a place with his ward brethren.
1t was hard to tell whether the republicans
or the democrats were in the majority.
This WAS immaterial as politics did not APP
pear during the proceedings.
MI. Stedman upon calling the meeting to
order said that for reasons not necessary to
enumerate it WAS deemed necessary to form
an organization which should select a CITY
government composed of men whose only
credentials shall be integrity and recoc-
nized business ability. There was q FOOD
deal Of business to t~ransact and he hoped
proper decorum would be preserved.
M T1yI~ ro~fS0r ~ VII Sk,,lIn II ~ 1D-L--p,
was unanimously chosen chairman of the
convention. He briefly expressed his
thanks for the honor, and MI. A. II. Nelson
was elected secretary. The order of bust
ness was read and then the chairman an
pointed B. Brown, G. w. Cannon and W.
IL. Boardman a committee on resolutions.
Mr.. Cory nominated John Stedman for
mayor and MI. Harrison nominated John r.
Murphy. Both names were greeted with
applause. Mr.. Harrison said: Believing
that it Ia the intention not only to inuurur-
ate q movement Of this kind upon this oc-
