suited in the Matter.

Guthrie, o. T. July 10.-Attorney Cen
eral Roberts has been asked for an
opinion from the Canadian county author
tiles, whether or not the railroad property
of the Rock Island in the Darlington
Indian reservation can be taxed. The
lock Island has a line running through

matter up and give an opinion. How
ever, 1t is probable that letters viii be
written to the war department at Wash
ington to determine under what class the
Darlington reservation is considered ow-
ing to the fact that Fort Reno is part
OF the same.
The Canadian county officials claim thar
the tax able property amounts TO quite

cradle moment to the finances of the
