The old building formerly occupied
by Cyrus d. Strong, as . hardware store
on the east side Of cavileer street, was
torn down this week. Itbelonged to the
Strong estate and had become SO delapi-
dated that It was not worth repairing.
This old building was an old settler, and
in its time one of the most pretentious
buildings in the village. It was built Of
squared oak logs, pinned together and
covered with weather boarding. 1t was
formerly used as a signal Office and ii
was here that Observer John Kabernag-
le, now deceased, registered the cold
est observation in the history of the ser
vice in the United States, 591z degrees
below. The tearing down Of such Old
buildings is really benefit to. the city,
and there are two or three more old
relics that would be better made into fire
wood. H

For many years in the state OF Wyo-
ming it has been a disputed question
whether county t~reasurers had the
right to sell realty o: a taxpayer for per-
sonal taxes. The case was brought d.
rectly to the attention Of County Treas,
urer Mckee he other day. when appli-
cation was made for the release o. the
properly purchased by Mr.. E. D. Car,
ter upon the payment OF the taxes upon
the real estate, deiucting a smali
amount of personal taxes Of the former
owner. Mr.. Mckee asked County At
torney Jahren Tor a written opinion,
which was given, as follows:
T. L. Mckee. esq. Treasurer OF Albany
county.
Dear Sir: In conformity with your
request Cor IN opinion in regard to the
revenue laws under sections 4, chapter
LOT OF the session laws OF 1895, and sec.
ton 1924 OF the revised statutes Of wy,
oming, have this opinion to give:
1. That the homestead of any person
cannot be legally sold Tor any tax ex.
cept the TAX levied on the homestead.
Section 4, chapter 1917 OF the session
laws OF 1895 provides that taxes on per,
sonal properly shall be a lien upon any
real estate owned by the person at the
time. but section 1924 OF the revised
statutes provides that the homestead
ohol mot la -nll S,r ~ +, - nvoort fnS
taxes due upon Itself exclusively.
Al the frs glance it might seem as il
the law Of 1895 was a later law and
therefore should control and so far as 1t
conf1icted, repeal section 1924, but upon
investigation l find that both OF these
sections were part Of the same law, a
statute enacted by the general assembly
OF 1896, and both have ever since re-
manned on our statues. though section
4 amends the former section in regard
to interest.
The provisions 0: section 1924 must
therefore be taken to qualify and re,
strict to that extent the provisions OF
section 4 above referred to, and home
0teads should not be sold for any tax,
except the tax due on rhe homesteads,
and for this reason homesteads should
be assessed separately. and sold (f any
must be) for the tax on the homestead.
2. las to what has been heretofore
done contrary to this. l cannot say what
position the courts will take, but l can.
not advise the treasurer TO attempt to
undo what has heretofore been done, on
hhe redemption of properly sold for
taxes, without a decision o; the court,
because it would open the doors FOR
endless litigation.
1 believe that a contrary view has
been taken by the officers. as to these
statutes ever since they were enacted
IN 1853, and courts have sometimes sus-
tanned action Of officers, even under a
Wisconstruction OF statutes, when they
had been interpreted. acted upon and
acQ1iesed in for a long term OF years
on the ground OF public policy, and to
prevent disturbing titles TO property
that during this time may have passed
through the hands 0. many ~innocen.
purchasers.
.. Aside from a homestead personal
tax 10 made a lien on realty and the land
may be sold for such personal tax. as
well as for the tax on the land itself

GENERAL MANAGERS PARTY.

Yesterday General Manager Dickin-
sons car was sidetracked at Carbon and
this morning. Mr.. Dickinson, Chief En-
gineer Pegram and General Superin>
tendent Malloy took private conveyance
and travelled across the country to
Lookout, viewing the proposed cutoff.
Mr.. Dickinson's car was picked up by
No. 4 today and brought as far east
as Lockout, where it will remain to-
night. Tomorrow the general
ayers party will go back to Carbon and
from that point they will take private
conveyance to Percy, at or lea which
nus Of the new cutoff will be located.
After The cutoff is completed, it is en-
tireiy probable that Carbon, Medicine
Bow and Rock Cresk will all be left on
the main line. The line will not only
be shortened almost 20 miles by the
project. but Simpson hill and Lookout
will be done away with.and it Is thought
by some that the pusher system at both
Medicine Bow and ForLeSteele will then
be a thing OF the past.
UNION PACIFIC IMPROVEMENTS.
The Union Pacific is going through an
era OF Improvements. During our re.
cent trip west to Evanston we noticed
that the company was improving its
yards, putting in additional sidetrackA,
using the Sherman gravel very LIBERAL
ly, and putting up substantial steel
bridges in place Of the old wood struc-
lures. In the Bitter creke district these
bridges are three times as long as the
Old ones and they are mounted on mas
sive Stone albutments. In Rawlins a
new double track is being laid through
the town, necessitating the removal OF
the freight depot. All OF the railway
parks at the towns are in fine condition
and there is a general air OF prosperity
and thrift about the stations. East
ward the same policy is carried out. For
months the company has carried 1870
carloads OF Sherman gravel a day to
Nebraska and used it for ballasting the
road. In Cheyenne new yard tracks
have been laid and the embankment at
the approach from the west has been
widened for a long distance and another
track put down. Other improvements
have also been made besides doubling
the size of the railway park. 1t GER
tainly does not look as il the Union
Pacific property vas about to change
hands.-Sun-Leader.
