NORTHERN PACIFIC
TAX CASE IS Up
INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS AR
GUEO IN PARK COUNTY
COURT MONDAY.
Attorney Gen. Files Brief
He Declares That Estate Reserved In
These Lands Is Undoubtedly Pro-
perty and As Such Is Subject to
Assessment and Also Taxation.

At Livingston Monday, began the
argument of one of the most import
ant cases that has crept into the
courts Of Montana IN many years, IA
case started by the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company to test the right OF
the state to TAX an interest retained In
land reserved as mineral by the car
rier company II the outcome of the
case is successful, the state will re-
ceive thousands OF dollars in taxes
which it otherwise would not.
The plaintiff derived title to the land
by virtue of an act of congress ap-
proved July 2. 1864, granting to the
company certain lands with others, to
aid in the construction of a railroad
and telephone line from Lake Superior
TO Puget Sound on the Pacific coast.
Subsequently the Northern Pacific
conveyed two parties named in the
complaint, two tracts of land, which
were duly assessed by the assessor
of Park County, including the mineral
reservations, these having been re-
served in the deed of conveyance.
Starts Injunction Proceedings.
The company thereupon started in
junction proceedings against Frank NJ.
Mjelde, treasurer of Park county, to
prevent him from collecting the taxes
or selling the land for same.
Mr. Kelly presented a brief in the
case, in which he maintained that
there are two separate and complete
estates in the same tract OF land, the
one surface and the other in the min
eral, and that these facts seemed to
be established beyond a question. He
quotes a number Of cases In subStan
tiation of his position. The following
excerpts from this brief shows the
contentious of the state.
"The fact that it may be difficult
to fix the value of an interest In land
where the same consists OF minera
in place beneath the surface, does no
operate to except such estate from
assessment and taxation. 1t is thu
duty of the county assessor to access
all property in this state except tina
which is exempt. and it is also hi
duty to fix valuation on all propert!

that these surreptitious readings have

manded Mrs. Polydore.

the truth at any cost rather than the
blissfulness of Ignorance" was the

across your hand, instead of starting
somewhere in the neighborhood of

pies hands. And, moreover, the line
in your hand is of u healthy, deep

1T indicates jealousy, and increas-
ing, awful jealousy; a jealousy of the
kind that feeds on insubstantial trifies
and makes mountains Of suspicion out
of molehills."
But you know, Polydore, that I'm
not jealous at all. l think I'm re-
markably free from jealousy. When
