80 mucn as the open stand taken bv
tne German emperor in support of the
contention that Fred D. Fisher. Amer

IN declining to recognize Russian iur.
lsd1ction there. Baron Rosen. the Rms.
sian ambassador, called on Secretary
OF State Elihu Root yesterday after
noon, and it is understood he pre-
sented an official protest from the Rms
sian foreign Office against the stand
taken by Fisher.
James Bryce, the British ambassa-
dor, had talk with Secretary Root
about the matter today. Meanwhile.
the belgian minister and others are
making inquiries privately.
while Bryce declared that his visit
was OF mo great Importance, the un-
certainty as to the position which the
British foreign Office will take on this
latest tangle in China is causing much
speculation in diplomatic circles. The
fact that England is allied with the
Japanese renders the decision in this
case the more Interesting.
With Germany and the United
States acting together on this and
other questions in China, it is pointed
out Italy and Austria will join with
them in opposition to England, Japan,
Russia and France.
Foreign representatives here are
watching with great interest develop
ments in the foreign offices on the
continent to see whether the policy
outlined by John Hay and now being
pursued by Secretary Root that China
must remain as a national entity,
which the United States is now ad-
vancing with regard to Manchuria, will
meet further support.
The fact that Germany has agreed
to support the contention of Secretary
Root, that since Manchuria is a pro-
vince of China, it cannot recognize an
attempt on the part of the continen-
tai powers to threaten the integrity
Of Manchuria, on the ground that this
would be only the first step Of fur
ther aggression by Russia, and proba-
bly, Japan against other sections Of
China.

LAND BUYER MUST
SETTLE BACK TAX
Such is Ruling Of Attorney General
In Case Of the State
Holdings.

Olympia, April IAN applicant for
state lands will be compelled to pay,
at the time of purchase, any special
tax levied against the land at the time
of purchase, is the substance of an
opinion rendered for E. w. Ross.
commissioner of public lands, by E. G.
Macdonald, assistant attorney general
Application was made with the COM
missioner to purchase certain tract
of land in Skagit county. When the
land was inspected and appraised and
the office was about to proceed with
the sale it was found that there was
assessed against the land on the re-
cords of the county, treasurer's Of
flee a diking tax amounting to $738.1S,
including interest.
In reply Mr.. Macdonald said:
"The valuation of the land as pro-
vided by that law shall not be raised
by or on account of such improvement,
but when the land is offered for sale
there should be added to the ap-
praised value the amount of the tax
assessment paid, which amount so
added should be paid by the purchaser
in cash at the time of the sale OF the
land, in addition to the amount due
the state for such land. The add1-
tional sum so paid should be turned
over to the state treasurer and placed
to the credit of the general fund. This
same mode is also provided for in
chapter "a, laws of 1907.
81 would respectfully suggest that
you ascertain from the proposed pur-
chaser whether he is willing to pay
the additional amount of this tax. II
so, the matter is of easy solution in
the manner Indicated; but in the event
that the proposed purchaser is unwill-
ing to do so, should not advise the
payment of the assessment until the
proceedings have first been examined
for the purpose of examining whether
the assessment is valid"

COMMISSION IS SPLIT
INTERSTATE BODY SAID TO BE
HoPELEssLY DIVIDED ON
SPOKANE CASE.
Three Opinions Held, Advocates Of
None Of Which Are in the Majority
Structure Of Freight Rates
Depends on Decision Which Conn.,
mission Cannot Reach.

Washington, April latter having
the Spokane rate case under considera-
ton for more than one year, the inter-
state commerce commission is appar-
entity hopelessly divided regarding the
decision which should be rendered.
The case is the most important upon
the dockets of the commission and
upon it hinges the entire rate fabric of
the United States.
If the commission should decide
with the shippers of Spokane the theo-
ry upon which the railroads have made
rates from the earliest days will be
upset and past decisions on the short
and long haul clause of the commerce
act will be more or less nullified. On
the other hand, if the commission re-
fuses to disturb the present adjust
ment a long step toward establishing
the justice of the ratemaking methods
of the railroads will have been taken.
Recognizing the import of the case,
the commission went into most care
full and elaborate investigation and
hearing of all the facts and listened
the business, railroad and commercial
lawyers in the West.
Since the arguments were heard the
commission has had numerous confer
ences regarding decision, and it de-
velops that there are at least three
different views which thus far have
proved irreconciliable. The commits
sion has struggled in vein to get ma
jority report and apparently is in a
deadlock.
The case is one which had been
bothering the railroads in the North
west for years prior to the commits
sion's being given greater powers.
Owing to water competition, according
to the railroads, the rates to Spokane
from the Eastern seaboard are the
rates to the Pacific coast plus the
local rates from the Pacific coast back
to Spokane The latter city insists
that this is unfair, and that it should
be given the advantage of it's location
and thereby secure the benefit of lower
rates than the Pacific coast cities. 1t
is also maintained that water compe-
tition is largely a theory, if not a
myth.

GREAT FISHING AT GREEN POND

GREAT FISHING AT GREEN POND. Mir and Mrs Frank Evitts passed Fri day at Green pond and had surprising luck in fishing. Robert Murphy fitted them out with tackle and they set out for Green pond. MT Evitts fitted out a line and cast into the lake and caught a pound bass. He then threw the line in again and caught the hook on log, breaking it close to the hook. The next time he caught the hook on the limbo tree, breaking the line again. He sank into the mud over his low shoes, and nearly slid off rock into 10 feet of water. The news of Mir Ev- its luck at fishing spread to New Mil ford and Hubert Thomas was around the next day offering to pay almost any price for some of those Green pond bass. Mir Evitts replied that what he had not eaten had been salted down, and so he was unable to supply his friend. MT Evitts thinks they could improve on the method of trans portation by building trolley and that if they will go ahead with the project he will contribute literally. Some small boys spread the news to Sherman Center, where the editor was visiting, so the estimable couple need not be surprised at this news. Frank Evitts is offering 10 per cent reduction on all harness during August. r.
