only made them worse. A doctor
treated him and we tried almost every
thing, but the eczema spread for two
years until it very nearly covered the
back part Of his leg TO the knee. Finally

INCREASE R. R. AS
SESSMENT BY HALF

The Central Pacific Railroad COM
pany's trackage in Nevada was as
sessed at $3.50 per mile by the state
board of assessors, in session at Carson
City, Thursday.
The effort to raise the valuation to
$4,000 per mile was voted down, al
though for a while it seemed that this
action would be taken. The decision
of the board raises the valuation Of
the road in the state $4,25O,000. Fifty
ballots were taken before an agree
ment was reached.
The mileage of the road in the state
is as follows: Washoe county, 42.43
miles; Storey, 8.65; Lyon, 1906;
Churchill, 42.44; Humboldt, 140.14;
Lander, 26.5s; Elko, 1883.
Last year the road was assessed at
$1s,5O0 per mile. Accordingly, at the
new figure, this years assessment in
Humboldt county will be increased ap-
proximately $133,00o.
The assessment against the Western
Pacific last year in Humboldt county
was $10s,770 on its uncompleted line.
As this road has within one mile as
great trackage in this county as the
Southern Pacific, its assessed valua-
tion will be increased in an equal pro-
portion with tn colder road on its right
of-way and track, in addition to the
assessment on its rolling stock, which
was not in existence last year.
1t is probable that on the two lines
of railroad Humboldt county will this
year gain an assessed valuation close
to half million dollars, which should
have the effect of materially reducing
the tax rate.

DECIDES AGAINST
NORTHERN PACIFIC
Especial to Silver State.)

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 15.-- In
dians of the Yakima tribe came into
their own when Judge Edward Whit
son, sitting in the United States cir
cult court for the district of eastern
Washington, handed down decision in
the suit OF the United States against
the Northern Pacific Railway com
pany, by which l6o,976 acres of tim
Der and agricultural lands in the Ce-
dar River valley in the southern part
of the Yakima reservation revert to
the red men.
The land is valued at 100000, and
is covered by a mortgage held by the
Mercantile Trust company of New
York, to secure an issue of bonds for
the first construction of the railroad
through Washington. If the findings
are sustained by the supreme court of
the United States on appeal, it will
mean a reallotment to the Indians and
the readjustment of tine entries of
otNtidi uuHdtto tloiHVStCdQSio III tht
district, also hasten the opening of
100000 acres of land in the reserva-
tion.
Judge Whitson holds that the act of
congress in 1887, granting the land to
the railroad, did not extinguish the
title of the Indians to it, or quash the
treaty made with the tribe by Terri
torial Governor Isaac Stevens at Walla
Walla in June, 1869, wherein tho ts2e
in litigation was annexed to the res
ervation. The government contendea
that the surveys were incorrect, ethe
through fraud or mistake and that
the grant was intended by congress 10
be bounded by the natural divide Of
the land, the survey of the ra'l~or
overlapping. and as such it should re
vert to the tribe.
