TAX CASE.
Stutsman County Will Get Only a
Small Proportion of Its Original
Claim.

The decision Of Judge Amidon in the
suit of Stutsman county against the
Northern Pacific road will give that
county only q small portion Of it's claim
for taxes. 1t was estimated that the
original amount claimed by the county,
with penalties and interest, would az
gregate about $4,000. But under the
decision there will be no penalty and
interest collected, and with the taxes
that have been knocked out as illegal,
it is said, the total amount left to be
collected under the decision will not
exceed $4,000. Some of the taxes
which were void, it is said, may be re-
levied, so that the county may pos
siby get a total Of $4,000.

THE BLACK DIAMoND's DEMAND.

According to the dispatches which are
constantly appearing ia the newspapers
the Black Diamond Railway is going to
be built right Off A dispatch in Satur-
days Morning News from Toledo, o.. stat
ed that that city would be the northern
terminus of the Black Diamond and that
its seaboard outlet would be Port Royal.
We are sure that everybody in this sec
tion hopes the road will be built. It is
no great matter whether its outlet Is Port
Royal Charleston or Savannah. It would
benefit this entire section. If its seaboard
terminal should be at Port Royal Savan-
nah would get a share of Its business be-
cause two of her great railway systems
would lntersect it and she has merchants,
banks and warehouses and they would
have big influence in drawing business
in this direction. Therefore Savannah is
prepared to rejoice with Port Royal when
the long-talked Of Black Diamond is COM
pleted.
There is one thing about the Black Dia-
mond enterprise. however, that Is not easy
to understand, and that is why its pro-
moters should be waiting on a subscrlp-
ton from Beaufort and Port Royal. 1t
seems that the insignificant sum of 1000
has been demanded from each of these
places, with the threat that If the money
isn't forthcoming the seaboard terminus
will be located at some other place than
Port Royal. In the letter calling for the
money It is stated that Savannah is ready
to tab. IaTl1 ri
statement looks as if there was need for
a couple of thousand of dollars by some
body right away and that a little pres
sure was being brought to bear on the
places named to get It,
But that view can hardly be the right
one If, as is asserted. the enterprise has
$25,0OO0O0 behind IT, Why put the breaks
on an enterprise having that amount of
capital while Port Royal and Beaufort are
discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of coming for
ward with the money requested of them?
The hating of an enterprise having so
much capital for the lack of the little sum
of $1,000 is calculated to make the people
OF Beaufort and Port Royal wonder wheth-
er an effort is not being made to develon
Southern capital with foreign ENTERPRISE
rather than promote a Southern enter
prise with foreign capital
We do not make this suggestion for
the purpose of throwing cold water on this
great railway project upon the compile
ton of which our friends of Beaufort and
Port Royal have set their hearts and
hopes, but simply to express our surprise
at the possibility of the change of one of
the terminals of a $25. 100000 railway be-
cause of the failure of the people of the
chosen terminal to poney up a triee Of
Sz'OV' We hope our friends in Port Royal
and Beaufort are not delaying to provide
the cash that is wanted because they are
afraid that the Black Diamond might turn
out to be a gold brick.
