tend the Hancock Meeting.

This years meeting of the Baraga
county state teachers institute,
held in the L'Anse High School

knowledged to have been one OF the

have been larger.
The sessions began at 8 o'clock
Monday morning. Prof. A. Hanlin

In Carson last Monday in the United
States Court the contest between the
Clark railroad and the Union Pacific
and allied roads was begun. A mum
Der of prominent attorneys, known all
over the United States, are employed
by the parties to the suit. As many
of the readers of the SENTINEL know
this suit is the outcome Of the conten-
ton between the Clark forces and the
Oregon Short Line for the possession
of . grade in Lincoln county con-
structed by the latter. Senator Clark
had long had his eye on the route
over which this grade passes, and SO
he practically took possession of the
roadbed and started to lay rails. The
Oregon Short Line secured an injunc-
ton in the United States Court re-
straining Clark from continuing work.
Last Monday was the day set when
Clark should answer and show reason
why the restraining order should not
be made permanent. 1t is thought
IL will take tho entire week in the
of the case.

First Automobile stage Line.

Wyoming Is to have the first auto
mobile stage line in the country. 1t
will be operated between Sheridan
and Buffalo, the vehicles making the
round trip of one hundred miles daily.
The stages will be covered and will
have a capacity Of ten passengers and
luggage. A ten-horse gasoline motor
will be the propelling force, and with
it the stage will weigh only 1900
pounds. During nine months of the
year the roads between Sheridan and
Buffalo are in first-class condition and
during the remaining three months
there are very few days that the auto
mobile stages will experience any
trouble in making the trip.

THE .. r. BEINGS SUIT.

Last Monday in the United States
Court at Carson Attorney Herrin Of
the Southern Pacific Law Department
filed a suit asking an injunction against
the various Assessors OF the State to
prevent them from levying and collect
ing taxes against the corporation on the
ground that they have no authority I'M
der the new Revenue Law and that
they, or q majority Of them, entered
into q conspiracy to levy unjust and
burdensome taxes against the COM
pany in order that other classes oil
people should escape their just burdens
OF taxation.
Mr.. Herrin claims that railroads can
not be properly classed under the new
law and that the Assessors Of one
county have no right to say what taxes
shall be levied upon property in an
other county, and that the counties
through which no roads run had nc
right to vote upon the valuation oil
properties situated in other counties.
The Assessors are cited to appear in
Court and will be called upon to an
swer July Is.
The complaint is signed by Isaac
Requa, the President Of the road.
