 In construing the intent of the IeEiA lature it is a significant fact that with such long continued construction by such officials before it. the legislature. in it's revision of the law in 1901. re-en- acted the provisions without substan- tial change
 In argument. it was contended that assuming that the territorial board ot equalization, in equalizing the rate Of assessment in the various counties ls not restricted to an increase or de- crease of the sum of the valuations of property in each county but may equalize valuations by classes of prop erty, nevertheless. the board is confined to the classificaIIons made by para graph 3s77; that the provision In said paragraph that the territorial bard of equalization may diminish or add Io the list given. and may. in its diScre- tion, require different or further mat ters to be returned. must be construed as applying to property which does not fall within any class specifically men toned This contention is especially urged with respect to any sub-classffI- cation of lands. for the reason that b para graph 3S4s the owner of land sv ] cept town or city lots is required. in re- turning his list of property. to dsscribe the same by section or part of section township and range. and where such part of section is not a legal subdivts> ion, or is unsurveyed. by some other ] description sufficient to identify it. and that it further provided by par ! agraph 3S61 that the assessor in pre- pairing the tax list or assessment roll

be assessed in one county at three dok lars per head. and might be assessed in another county ten dollars per head and yet be of the same actual value in each county. If in Cochise county all property except cattle should be as sessed at the same relative valuation as in other counties, and cattle should be assessed at but one-half of their true relative valuation, Cochise county would, unless some remedy were ap- piled, bear a less share of the territor- ial taxes than it ought. Under the contention of petitioners, a raise in the assessed valuation of all the property in Cochise county must be made, which would thus result in imposing upon all property owners of that county except cattle owners the payment of taxes above their fair proportion, and the payment of taxes on an assessed vaIJ- ation higher than the valuation on the same property in all other counties of the territory.
 The supreme court of New Mexico had recently before it this question, in the case of the Territory vs Bank. 6 Pac., 173. In an opinion which we think well reasoned and we'll expressed the evil of such a construction as contend ed for by petitioners, and the sound ness or contrary construction are pointed out by the court in that case We do not overlook the decisions in numerous cases cited to us holding that similar boards may not lawfully raise or diminish valuations by classes of property. We have examined those cases, but find that they construe sta tutes differing so widely from ours that they afford us but little aid in the in- terpretatiOn of our statutes.
 We think a fair and reasonable inter pretation of our statutes discloses the intention of the legislature to confer upon the territorial board of equaliza. tion, for the purpose of producing a just relation among all the valuations of property in the territory, so far as regards the territorial tax, the power to increase or diminish the valuation of property in any county by classes At most, it can be urged only that from the language used, a doubt exists as to such intention. Were such doubt well founded. we should feel constrain- ed to follow the long continued inter- pretatiOn given by the territorial board Of equalization to the statutes in har- mony with this view. For eighteen years, ever since its creation that
 board, without question from any source, and upon the advice of numer
 ous attorneys general, has raised and
 lowered valuations of property within the several counties of this territory by classes. This court will take jn dicial notice of this practical con- stTuction.

Moscow Bunk Robbed Of s4s2, 500.

Moscow, March 2O.-The Credit
Mutual, one of the largest banks in
Moscow, was mysteriously robbed by
masked men at dusk to- night, the
robbers securing $432,5O0. 1t was
an extremely daring job. The facts
already developed raise the question
that the robbery was committed by,
or under the direction of, some one
at present or previously employed
in the institution. The bank is stu
ated in llinko street, in the heart of
the city. The last of the clerks had
just departed, leaving an inside
guard OF three men, while under the
porte coohere outside were g police
men and the house porter. The
street was crowded with people hur-
rying homeward. According to the
story of the guards, in the twinkling
of an eye they were confronted with
revolvers in the hands of 20 masked
men, who entered silently by the
main door, which had been locked
when the office force left. After
command to the guards to hold
up their hands not word was
spoken. The guards were quickly
bound and gagged and thrown into
dark corner. The robbers then
took up positions at all the entrances
and the curtains of the windows
were lowered. The chief of the rob-
bers, who directed the operations of
his associates by gestures and with
out speaking, showed thorough
familiarity with the location of the
vaults. When all was ready he
went TO the heavy burglar proof safe,
and, with few whirls of the knob,
threw the combination of the lock,
the heavy doors swung open and the
treasure of the bank was revealed.
The plunder, consisting of gold,
silver and notes, was speedily thrust
into sacks. When a clean haul of
the money had been made, not a
kopeck being left, the robbers de-
parted as silently as they came, max
ing their exit through the main en-
trance and leaving no trace behind
them. They had been in the bank
less than half an hour. Twenty
minutes later one of the guards sue
ceeded in freeing himself and gave
the alarm. The dumbfounded po-
liceman aud house porter, who had
been standing in front of the bank
throughout, claimed they had seen
no one enter or leave it.
