The only activity noted in local stocks
during the week was in Utah sugar,
which is still moving around $500. The
certificates for the s. per cent stock
dividend recently declared by the COM
pany were sent to the stockholders dur
ing the week by Secretary Whitney.
bringing the capital stock of the COM
pany up to around 81 O0O. 600 On this y
per cent annual dividends will be paid
as heretofore. The quarterly dividend
of 8 per cent, or $50 600, win be paid at
the close of the present month. The
quotations on the other local dividend
paying stocks remain as quoted last
week.
Activity in building is reviving and
the prediction is freely made that by
the first of the month every mechanic
in the city who wishes work Will be
able to get it. The trouble recently
threatened over the employment of nom
union workmen seems to have blown
over, and labor matters seem to be set
ting into a good swing for the season.
The amount OF new work in sight add
ed to the work now under way gives
promise of making the year one OF
great activity among builders.
Real estate dealers are still suffering
from inflated prices. but it is the gen
eral feeling that when the railroad
rumOrs settle down and the real facts
become known. the real estate business
~ill strike a firmer basis and many

contrast with the two previous months
of the present year. The clearlngS yes
terday were $zSJ, Z9S.12, compared with
1886, 1908 tor the corresponding day of
last year. For the week the dealings
were SZ,Z0S, 262.71, compared with ST.

while there has been a marked falling
off compared with the early part or the
year, the banks are still making a good
record. compared with last year.
The merchants report a toning up in
local business during the week, due, in
large part, TO the nearer approach of
spring and the consequent activity in
spring goods. Collections, however. are
still slow, and many complaints are
heard on that score.
The following local dividends will be

SCRIPT LANDS TAXABLE.
Attorney General Donovan Renders an
Opinion on Timber Lands.


III answer to the request Of County
Treasurer iilburn in regard to tax
alton of script land, Attorney General
Donovan has rendered the following
opinion in regard to the matter:
II will state generally. from what
limited examinations ! have bcen
able to make of the matter. says the
attorney general, that all script
which is located upon land, either sur
yayed or unsurveyed. for which a
final receipt is issued at the local land
office, becomes subject to taxation
equitable title passing to the locator
at the time such receipt is issued,
and the courts have always held that
an equitable title is liable to taxa
ton. There are other varieties of
script wherein the equitable title does
not pass until the application is APP
proved By the commissioner of the
general land Office Such land bee
comes taxable from date OF such ap-
prevail.
"Tou can readily ascertain by in
uuiry at the United States land of
fee at Kalispell as to the status Of
the script regarding which you ask
an opinion. The fact that some of
the lands are unsuryeyed does net
relieve them from taxation in case
the equitable title has passed from
the government to the locator and his
interest therein may be sold If he
allows the taxes to become delin-
uuent"
