was returned by the jury IN the case of
the state of Minnesota against the
Carpenter-Shevlin Company. of Mime

whether or not the stumpage should be
paid for at the price which it would
bring where it was sawed. or
whether it should be paid for At the
price usually assessed on the land
where the stumpage is cut.
A number of witnesses were on the
stand to show the value of the stump
age and the prices quoted ranged from
So to 81 where cut and SIS to S.. IS in the
city. The large number of witnesses
swore that the stumpage was worth
about So thousand on the land. One
witness swore that it was worth 50, but
the consensus of opinion was largely
in favor of the So price. Notwithstand-
ing this, the jury returned verdict of
$375 per thousand, making the total
amount awarded to the state So, 100.
