Ir is said that the attorney gen
eral has given out the opinion that
the county commissioners would
have the right, il they saw fit, to
accept the taxes due the coun-
ties from the railroads on the basis
of the 1909 valuations, but they
would have no power to remit any
portion OF the amount due the
state, and that even the state
authorities could not do SO without
special act OF the Legislature.
He suggests that the railroads pay
the tax due the counties on the
basis of the 1907 valuation. and
the tax due the state in the same
proportion, the state to await the
result OF the pending litigation to
recover the balance, II is not
probable that any. Of the county
treasurers OF the state would
issue tax receipt to the railroads
based on this opinion, as they and
their bondsmen would be liable for
the difference due the state, no
matter what the outcome OF the
pending litigation.

Ruble, charged with unla wfully
taking water from a ditch belong
ing to the Equity Lateral Associa-
ton. which derives its water sup
ply from the Catlin ditch, took up

quently helped himself TO a supply

He was convicted in a Rocky Ford

to the county court, the jury re-
turning verdict Of not guilty.
The case OF Arch Henderson VS..

SOME WONDERFUL CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA.
The Territorial Government Reports
Show Results Beyond Belief.

Regina, Assineboia, Canada, January
10th.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch of the Depa rtment of Agricul-
ture for the Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
ers throughout the Territories, for
statistical purposes. The reports are
somewhat delayed this year, owing to
the extensive crop and the delay in
getting it threshed. The Department
of Agriculture is leading the way in
new departure, with regard to the
collection of crop statistics. In the
older provinces, crop estimates are
based entirely on the opinion of per-
sons interested in the grain business
who ought to be, and no doubt are,
we'll posted upon the probable yields.
Still the reports are simply matter
of opinion, in which mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De-
partment, however, has adopted the
system of returns of crops actually
threshed. upon which to base their
reports. The accuracy of the reports
cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, for
they represent compilation of actual
threshing results. In this connection,
it might be mentioned that the De-
partment is organizing system of
growing crop returns, which will be in
operation next summer. The infor-
nation thus obtained, with estimated
acreage, will be available for business
men, banks, railway companies, and
other interests which have to discount
the future in making provision for the
conduct of their business.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases of alb
normal development. In the Regina
district, many returns are given of
crops Of wheat running from 40 to As
bushels to the acre.
J. A. Smell, of Yorl>ton, threshed
$4,000 bushels of oats from $50 acres.
an average of 60 bushels per acre for a
large acreage.
W. r. Motherwell, of Abernethy
threshed 1850 bushels of wheat from
a so acre field, an average of So bush
els per acre.
In the Edmonton district, T. T.
Hutchings threshed 1913 bushels of
wheat from ten-acre plot, an average
of nearly 70 bushels per acre.
s. Norman thresbed $3.50 bushels of
oats from GO acres of land, an average
of 116 bushels per acre.
The publication of the actual yields
of grain threshed will likely open the
eyes of the people to the great capa bill
tiles of the western Canadian prairies.
