SAY THEIR LOGS WERE
DOUBLY ASSESSED
State Auditor Grants Hearings
to Protesting Lumber
Companies.

State Auditor S. G. Iverson gave a
hearing yesterday morning on three
cases involving the taxation of the logs
of lumber companies In several coun-
ties. the companies either claiming that
the property was exempt from taxation
or that it had been assessed IN two
counties.
The principal case was that of the
Rat Portage Lumber company, of Rat
Portage, Canada. This company was
assessed for 100000 feet of logs in ST.
Louis county. 100000 feet of logs in
Beltrami county and 100000 feet in
ItaSca county.
The company claims that 100000
feet of the logs assessed in Beltrami
county were cut in Canada and fioated
down Rainy river into Minnesota to
the boom for the sole purpose of being
sorted, after which they were to be
taken back to Rat Portage for manu-
facture, and therefore were not proper
ly subject to taxation in this state, the
usual rule being that logs are to be
assessed where they are to be worked
up or where the mills of the company
are situated.
The company also contended that the
other assessments We're void for this
reason and also because the company
was a foreign corporation, having it's
mills outside of the state.
The auditor refused to pass on the
question of those logs cut in Canada
and sent to this state for sorting, hold
ing that the question was one for the
courts and he had no jurisdiction. In
regard to the rest of the lumber, he
held that the assessments in the several
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-09-27

counties should stand as determined
by the counties.
The second case was that of the
Kewatin Lumber company, also Can
adam corporation. This company had a
total cut of IL 900, 900 feet, 100000 feet
Of which were cut In Itasca county and
100000 in Beltrami All of the logs
cut in Itasca county were in that coun-
ty on May l and assessed there and
then fioated down the Rainy river into
Beltrami, where they were on June
and where they were assessed by that
county along with the cut of Beltrami.
This, it was claimed, was a double
taxation of the amount of 100000 feet,
the rate being about 81 per thousand
feet. The auditor held that each coun-
ty should have the assessment of the
logs cut in the respective counties and
annulled the Beltrami assessment of
the 100000 feet which was cut in
Itasca. This assessment the company
expressed itself as willing to pay.
The case of the Scanlon- Gipson
Lumber company, of Minneapolis,
which asserted that all of it's lumber
had been assessed in both Beltrami and
Hennepin countless whereas by the rule
the assessment should only have been
in the latter county, where the mills
of the company are situated, the au-
ditor adjourned until he could get in
formation from the auditors of the two
counties as to the exact facts in the
case. There seemed to be some doubt
as to the HenHepin assessment and Mr..
1verSon is of the opinion that the lum-
Der should be taxed at some point, and
If it develops that no assessment was
made on it in Hennepin, he will prob
ably confirm the Beltrami assessment

SUES THE SHERIFF
Simon Jeff Wants $4,000 for
Seizure of Store.

Suit for $4,000 was yesterday COM
menced in the district court against
Sheriff P. c. Justus by Simon Jeff,
whose grocery store on East Seventh
street was recently seized by the sher-
IF at the instance of the creditors of
Charles Shapiro, from whom Jeff pur-
chased the store.
Jeff contends that the store is still
in the hands of the sheriff and that he
has been greatly damaged by the ac-
ton of Sheriff JuStus in taking pos
session of it.
The store was formerly owned by
Shapiro, who sold it to Jeff and sub
sequently skipped to parts unknown.
According to the story told by Jeff,
through his attorney, Herbert P. KEEL
ler he bought the store with the I'M
Outstanding that all bills were paid and
that there were no liens against the
stock.
Soon after it was discovered that
Shapiro had skipped, his creditors ap-
peared in large numbers and finally the
store was seized in their behalf, it be-
ing alleged that the transfer of the
stock to Jeff by Shapiro was fraudu-
lent.
Sheriff Justus is still in possession Of
the store. This is the first time that
suit for damages has been brought
against Sheriff Justus and the outcome
will be watched with considerable in

OMAHA WANTS LAND
Seeks to Condemn Strip on the

Oh the district court yesterday, but
after some proofs had been submitted
was continued for one week.
The Omaha. in seeking to condemn
the land, says it is wanted FOR the
purpose of completing the connection
between the petitioning road and the
chicago Great Western. The Omaha
seeks to have condemned a strip of
iand on the West side. about 500 feet
long, extending from the end OF IT'S
present branch line on the West side
to Starkey street, where It proposes to
connect with the Great Western. The
greater part OF the land Is owned by
the wagner estate, but there Is some
dispute between the estate and the city
as 10 the ownership of portion of 1t,
ana the nearing yesterday was con-
tinued until this matter is settled.
The contention between the Wage
ners and the city is over that portion
or Commercial street which touches
the strip desired by the road. The
Wageners claim that the street was
abandoned by the city long ago and
that 1t Is now owned by the Wagner
estate.
The strip which the Omaha is at
tempting to have condemned is said
to be wanted to complete a chain OF
railroads around the city of ST Paul.
chain by which each road In the
city can make a connection, either d.
rectly or indirectly, with every other

The Wageners are opposing the ap-
pointment of commissioners on the
ground that the Omaha has never even
made them an offer for the land.
