SANTA fE MUST
PAY OR QUIT

DENVER, Sept. 2.-The Santa Fe
railroad will have to pay it's annual
license to the state of Colorado. or
quit running its trains across the
state line. This, in effect, was the
decision of Federal Judge Lewis to-
day when he sustained the demur-
rer filed by the attorneys for Tim
.othy O'Connor, former secretary of
state, holding that the tax of 81 for
every $1,000 of capitalization of cor
porations doing business in Colo
RADIO was a valid one and that the
plea of the railroad that the impo-
sition of the tax was an interference
with interstate commerce was not
based on legal grounds.
The attorneys for the railroad
have not announced whether or no.
they will appeal the cases, but It
is understood that they will do SO.
They are vastly important as bear
ing on the payment of the annual
license by many other foreign co.,
porations, the decision having been
awaited by all other railroads with
great interest.
In his opinion Judge Lewis also
held that the money for the tax had
been paid by the railroads volun-
tarily and that the notice of pro
test filed by the Santa Fe at the.
time of payment did not constitute
duress.
The Santa Fe fought vigorously to
prevent the payment of the tax,
which had been reduced from $4 a
thousand capitalization to So a
thousand. When it was served with
notice that it's engines and cars
would be seized it paid the $1,000
due the state on the tax and filed
notice of it's intention to make q
bitter fight to get it back.
The Rock Island and some other
roads paid the tax without mul-
mur, but several awaited the de-
cision in the Santa Fe cases, intend
ing to sue to recover the money.
When Timothy O'Conner stepped
out of the Office of secretary OF
state he carried the Santa Fe money
along with him. He is going to hold
it until a higher court than Judge
Lewis finally passes on it or the
railroad makes up it's mind that the
payment of the license is essential
to it's existence in Colorado. Attor-
neys Teller and Barnett fought the
case for O'Connor, as the state was
directly interested.

The farmers of the United States

in the census of agriculture and

years ago, located lands never before
known to exist. Many of the world S
greatest navigators, from time to
time, made their discoveries, to
which no claim was ever made. The
principal reason for this, however,
is said to be that the lands are al
most inaccessible and of absolutely
no value. AS to the particular ter
ritory Cook is said to have discover

probable these lands would be found
to be an extension of the mainland
of Greenland and, if so, would be-

extremely improbable, it is said, that
the United States will attempt to as

Right Spirit Build. Railroad.

The Nez Perez Herald says the
work on their electric line to Vollmer
is progressing satisfactorily. Almost
every one who subscribed for the rail-
road fund conditioned upon the COM
pletion of the road by August LIST, has
renewed the note for longer period
or has paid the cash, continuing the
Herald says:
"One of the most gratifying results
of the efforts in building the road is
the true Nezperce spirit of working
together and helping themselves when
all others refused to assist in an en-
terprise that was so badly needed in
this part of the county. With the
combined effort of people working
together as they do in this section of
the county, it is almost an impossi-
bility to defeat an undertaking by
them, and any obstacles thrown in the
way by any one on the outside only
has tendency to help the enterprise
along. Nezperce is certain to have .
railroad in time to haul off the great
crop this year"
This furnishes an object lesson that
is worthy of earnest, consideration by
the citizens of Grangeville, and all
other communities where progress is
desired or expected.

Conductor Morris Introduces Dentistry
10 Arrested.

The North Coast Limited has boast
ed of its palace observation and library
cars, its bath and barber accommoda-
tons, ETC., says the Lewiston 1rib-
une, but up to this time there has never
been suggested the advantages of a
dentist while enroute. This new &C
commodation is original with Con-
ductor Harry Morris of the Grange
ville-Lewiston line, and was brought
about by the complaints of toothache
filed by the six-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Walter Hovey Hill, of
Grangeville. Mrs. Hill and son were
enroute to their home after visit in
the Palouse country when the small
boy made complaint of an aching
tooth. The lad was finally referred
to Conductor Morris with the assur-
ance that he would provide some
remedy for the ache, and when Mr..
Morris asked if he wanted the tooth
pulled, the brave little traveller said he
did. In spirit of fun Conductor
Morris inserted his ticket punch 5
the boys mouth and with little effort
secured a firm hold on the disturbing
molar. Mrs. Hill gave the sign to
pull the tooth and with a simple twist
similar to punching a regular trans
portation ticket the act was performed.
The incident afforded considerable
amusement to the passengers, but the
joke was turned upon Conductor Nor
ris yesterday when he was informed
by deputy sheriff that warrant had
been issued for his arrest charging
him with practicing dentistry without
a license.
