Will Test Mineral Tax.

HELENA, July 29.-The Northern
Pacific Railway company is going to
test out in the courts the right of the
state to tax the reservations it has
made of oil, coal and mineral rights
OF lands In which it has sold the sur-
face rights. Recently Attorney Cen
ersl Kelly held such reservations were
taxable, and State Tax Commissioners
Houtz advised county assessors to tax
them. According to M. c. Sanders of
St. Paul, the Northern Pacific tax
commissioner, all counties but Silver
Bow, Yellowstone and Lewis and
Clark have taxed these reserv atoms.
Because Musselshell's assessment
has been made Ia striot compliance
with the assessment laws, the company
has decided to test the question in that
county. 1t will apply for a. injunc.
tion to restrain the county treasurer
from collecting the taxes, aud will
carry the case to the highest courts.

This is one reason why a pound of coffee
cut in this Mill will make more cups of full
strength coffee than will any coffee ground
the old way.
Another feature about this Mill is that you
may have your coffee cut as fine as the finest
sand and it will still be practically free from that
fine dust which is produced by the old method of
grinding. You will, therefore always have a
clear cup of coffee instead of a muddy ~effect--a
result of using the old style mills.
Royal cut coffee is also adaptable for perco-
lators or French drip coffee pots.
Try a pound of our coffee cut on a Royal Mill
and we know you will be pleased with the results.

TO THE LOVER OF GOOD COFFEE:

We wish to advise you that we have in
stalled in our store a new ROYAL ELECTRIC
COFFEE nILL. manufactured by the A. j.
Deere Co., of Hornell, N. Y. This machine
is equipped with steel knives which cut the
berry into fairly uniform, clean cut particles,
instead Of grinding it n crushing it, as by
the old method.
All coffee mills heretofore used will onlv
crush the berry, mutilating the minute oil
cells, allowing the coffee oil to evaporate,
thus impairing the strength and flavor. and

SAN ANGELO WINS
FROM PECOS PLAYERS

PecOs, Texas, June 11.-ThrOUgh the
peppery work of her pitcher, Wooden,
san Angelo took the second game and
the series Tuesday afternoon, beating
out the local White SOx. g to 3. 1t
was Mr.. WOOden-s game from first TO
last. II PecOsites eating dirt before
his slants, and but four being hardy
enough TO register hits from his de-
livery. For eight innings he held them
to blanks, and then started the fire
works By walking the first man up in
the last Of the ninth. The next two
men were victimized but two singles
followed, and, with the help of a wild
throw, PecOs got three men safely
home, retiring the side in her eager
ness to make il four.
A reavy wind was blowing out Of
the east tfrOm third to firsD and this
made work a little hard at times. but
Wooden seemed to have his cOmbina-
tons working all the time, neverthe-
less.
Scott was on the mound for Pecos.
and pitched a pretty game, allowing
but seven hits. and keeping things well
in hand except for the fifth and sixth.
AS was the case in Mondays game,
however, errors by the White Sox
counted in San Angeles scoring,
though, when all was said and done,
it was admitted that the score went
with the best playing Following is

representative Has Regained Health
on His Trip to

Representative Henry George. ir.. of
New York. who has been travelling in
Europe since he was threatened with a
breakdown from overwork brought on by
the intricate investigation into the taxa
ton and assessment system of the Dis
trict of Columbia. is expected to take his
seat in the House of Representatives June
IL. Members of his family today vigor-
ously denied the report that his health is
not good. On the contrary, they assert
that the trip has restored him to perfect
health.
Mr.. George probably will be returned
to the House District committee. Mem
bers of the House expect that he will in
troduce a bill to carry out some of the
provisions outlined by him as being neces-
sary for the Districts good in the recent
report on assessment and taxation of real
estate in the District of Columbia.
The names of Mr.. George and Rep
resentatives Sullivan and Blatz were
stricken from the roll of the House yes
terday. This was a technical matter or
dered by the Speaker to effect a quorum
more easily. As soon as any Of these
members present themselves at the
Speakers desk to be sworn N their names
will automatically go back to the rolls
There is no question as TO these members
representing their districts. The certifi-
cate of election covers that matter.
