UNIFORM ASSESSMENT.
The Assessor Is studying tho Circular of
Instructions.


Missoula, March s.-Assessor Pres
colt is at present studying the circular
of instructions that has been sent out
by the state board of equalization, rela-
tive to the assessment of property
throughout the state The effort Will
be made this year to secure a more
uniform assessment than has ever been
made before in Montana, and it is with
this end in view that the assessors have
had their meeting at Helena and are
now trying to arrange a system that
will secure the uniformity that is de-
sired. One of the most important of
the changes made by the instructions
contained in the circular mentioned, is
in regard to possessory rights. The
text of the instructions in this regard
g as follows:
The term real estate includes the
possession of, claim to, ownership of.
or right to land. Real estate and i'm
provements must be assessed and
valued separately. improvements on
pubic lands, whether owned by the
pre-emptor or homesteader, or erected
without authority, should be taxed; so
should the possessory right or claim TO
such land. This rule holds good, wheth-
err the land belongs to the United
States or to the state The interests
of the federal government or of the
state are not affected by such taxation
and the persons assessed have that
which, protected by the laws of the
state, ought to contribute to its main
tenance."
This rule will affect many men who
have been for some time in the occu-
pancy of land without paying taxes
thereon and. while the amounts will not
be large in any case, the total will prob
ably affect the county's assessment ma
terially.
ASSESSOR Prescott has gone to the res
ervaton to take in the cattle ranches
while the stock is rounded up and thus
secure, if possible. a correct list of the
taxable property Of the reserve which
is a matter that has heretofore occas-
toned no end of trouble and dispute

Matters for the Consideration of the
Board of Trade.


Missoula, March S.-The meeting OF

Mssoula. March S.-Weather prophets
who are recognized in these parts as
being entitled to credence, state that
the coming spring will be an early one
and that the present warm weather is
the beginning of the final breakup of
winter 1t is to be hoped that this is
correct, as the winter has been the Sc
verest that this part of the state has
seen for many years. The woodsaw msn
have been gathering in their harvest for
the past two or three days. not having
had time to do any collecting before
this. Their business, with that eff the
wood dealers and coal merchants. has
surpassed all previous records this sea-
son and they will all he able to take a

have accumulated this winter.
The stockmen all report cattle as haV-
ing wintered in excellent shape and are
preparing for the removal of their stock
from the feeding quarters that they
have occupied all winter. The present
indications are that the spring feed will
be early this year and the cattle owners
who stocked up heavily last fall are
the happiest men in the state.
The outlook for the lrm bermen is also
excellent. There is enough snow to in
sure plenty of water for driving and the
logs are all ready for the rise in the
streams, with the exception of one or
two camps on the lower B'ac kfoot. The
