Army Engineers Withdraw Ad-
verse Report and Recon-

OAKLAND, Jan. 31.-Virtually as

of Oakland harbor, the ely administra-
tion is prepared to push the bond issue

the work can be undertaken. There
was no hitch here save in the laws
delays, but at Washington, D. c.. the
river and harbor board of army engi-
neers had declared against the recon-
mendation made by Lieutenant Colonel
John Biddle, the district engineer.
Today Mayor Frank X. Mott received
from Congressman J. r. Knowland a
telegram announcing that the board of
engineers had reversed their previous
action and had indorsed Colonel Bid
dies recommendations.
APPROPRIATION is EXPECTED
II believe that the appropriations we
need will surely be given to u.s. said
the mayor.
This board recommends that the
work outlined by Colonel Biddle be
carried out, and the chief engineer, 1
believe, viii sanction the recommen-
dation. Then the matter must go
before the rivers and harbors COM
mfttee in congress, but the boards at
titude will go far to overcoming any
opposition in the committed Let us
get the committee recommendation and
our troubles in this matter will be
nearly at end, as the house will not
reverse the committee action.
"Of course, we may not get quite as
much as we seek, but I rather think
that our desired appropriations will not
be cut much. II they are trimmed it
will probably be because the committee
makes a horizontal decrease in all the
harbor work recommenda tions"

Two Indians Killed

Jae Sherman and Jimmie Means.
two Indians from the government
school here were killed by Milwau-
kee train early Monday morning, near
Scenic.
The boys in company with four
others left the school early in the
evening for Scenic toattend an Indian
blowout at that place. 1t seems that
when they were near Scenic they laid
down on the track to rest and fell
asleep. They apparently did not
hear the approaching train until it
was nearly on them, and the two boys
were hit, Sherman being killed in
stant]y. Means was cut up badly and
was brought to the Rapid City hos
pital where he died Monday afternoon.

Cordin Morse Must Pay
Taxes on Cattle

The supreme court has modified
and affirmed the decision Of the lower
court of Stanley county in the case of
Corbin Morse VS. Stanley county, and
George Poste as treasurer. This suit
was started by the authorities of
Stanley county Selling live stock the
property Of Morse for taxes for the
year 1904. Morse brought suit against
the county to prevent the collection
and when the case came up for hear
ing the county came in with claim
for taxes on live stock of the value of
$50, 900 for all the years from 1893 to
1903, inclusive. as we'll as for 1904
The lower court sustained the con-
tention of the county, but the su-
preme court has only affirmed the
finding as far as 1904 taxes are con-
cerned, but the decision evidently
leaves the way open for suit to collect
for all the other years in which Morse
was holding live stock in Stanley
county, and if the county goes after
the taxes claimed for such years.
they will undoubtedly have good
case SO far as the actual value of
property in the county for the various
years is concerned. This decision
will mean a great deal where cattle
owned by a resident of one county
are held in another county. The home
OF Morse is in Pennington county,
but a large number of his cattle
ranged in Stanley county. Justice
