STATE LOSES ITS CASE.
Judge Knowles Decides Against It in til
harm I,nni H1, Tnx Gnco

Judge Knowles Decides Against It in the
Northern Pacific Tax Case.
Judge Knowles decided yesterday morning that
the lands within the land grant Of the Northern
Pacific railroad, upon which there Is some doubt
as to their mineral or non-minera character, will
be exempt from taxation until they have been
classified by the United States mineral land COM
missioners. The matter came before the court
in the case Of the Northern Pacific VS. Myers, an
action that has been in the courts for several
months, and has been frequently described In the
press Of the state. Myers, as treasurer Of Jefer-
son county advertised for sale some company
lands situated in that county upon which the
company had refused to pay the taxes two years
ago. He simply did what every other treasurer In
the counties where there were company lands
upon which there was a doubt as to their mineral
or non-mineral character, had done. The yari-
Gus county treasurers concluded to pool issues
with Myers, and stand or fall with the outcome of
the Jefferson county treasurer's case.
F. N. Dudley, the company's land attorney, yes
terday briefly outlined the facts and made short
argument against the payment Of these taxes un-
til the character Of the land had been established
by the mineral land commissioners. He was fol-
lowed by Attorney General Haskell for the state.
At the conclusion of the arguments Judge Knowles
said he would decide the case In accordance with
the decision of another federal judge, Judge
Beatty, of Idaho, who had passed upon a similar
case in Idaho, by holding that the land in ques-
tion is exempt from taxation until It's mineral
or non-mineral character has been established.
If 1t were mineral, he said, it did not belong to
the company, and if agricultural the company
would have to pay the taxes.
The state will appeal from Judge Knowles rul-
Ing to the United States circuit court of appeals.
| The Importance OF the decision can be appreci-
ated when 1t is known that the loss to the state
in taxes will amount to nearly $4,000 a year.

The City Council of Anaconda Ready to
Accommodate the County.
From the Standard of yesterday morning we
condense tho following Items found in the pro-
ceedings of the Anaconda city council In relation
to the quarters to be furnished for the use Of the
county when the county seat Is removed:
'sThe county OF Deer Lodge is to receive the use
of the Anaconda city hall building free Of all rent
for six months, from Jan. 25 to June l. 1879 from
and after that date June l, the monthly rental to
be at the rate of $4,000 per year. The county of
Deer Lodge is to make all necessary changes and
improvements in the building
"That was the proposition made by the city
council last evening" to be submitted to the county
commissioners at special meeting to be held
very soon to make arrangement for the reception
of the county officers when they move In next
month";"
"The second floor WAS given to the commission
ers without reserve; likewise the first floor, with
an exception In favor of the city treasurer for
whom the council thought an office might possibly
be needed"
"The commissioners who were present seemed
to the county far better quarters than its officers
have ever enjoyed beforer' (?)
''The sheriff Is to be given the basement under
the city hall for use as a iail!'
[*NorE.- Notwithstanding we are using the
smallest type III this Office we are unable to get
but a fraction over FOUR months into the promised
six months free rent between "Jan. Is and June
l, 1897" However, that is only small matter of
three or four hundred dollars to taxpayers and
we let it pass

all scales in arc to he tested They will doubt
less prove more ornamental than useful.
