NORTHERN PACIFIC LIABLE.
The Attorney General Holds That They
Must Pay Interest.

Must Pay Interest.
Special Dispatch to the Standard,
Helena. March 1O.-Yeste-day, At
inquiry from the Lewis and CLARKE
board of county commissioners held
that in the payment of back taxes
upon its unpatented lands in this coun-
ty the Northern Pacific was liable for
the interest upon the amount due as
well as the usual penalty. To-day.
Charles SWartZ, the tax agent Of the
Northern Pacific. who is here for the
purpose of paying the back taxes, OBJ
jeCted to paying the interest upon the
ground thai the tax sale held by thc
county treasurer in 1896 at which the
lands in question We're sold for taXe s
was not properly advertised hence the
sale was invalid, and the interest could
not accrue. The commissioners laid the
matter before Attorney General Nolan
who. after looking into ii found that
the point was we'll taken. Investigation
showed that the law had not been fol
lowed in regard to advertising the
property offered for sale for the taxes
in 1895 but Il days intervening between
the date of the first publication of the
advertisement and the day of the sale,
instead of y days as provided by law.
On account of this irregularity the at
tOrney general holds that the company
cannot be held liable for the interest
The interest would have amounted to
a respectable sum, as the back taxes
are in the neighborhood of $1,000
