News Of the Week From Many
Sections Of the State
WINS IMPORTANT TAX SUIT
State Successful in Novel Litigation
Before the Supreme Court
at Bismarck.

The state supreme court at Bis.
marck has unanimously decided that
leased industrial sites on railroad
rights Of way here occupied by the
Standard Oil company. the Interna-
tional Harvester company, the Lyon
Elevator and Lumber companies and
others are taxable locally.
This decision affects S3O, 1000, 900
worth of property in North Dakota.
This will bring in more than $500, 900
in taxes at the county tax sales and a
permanent annual income of about
$150,000, which will increase as the
real estate increases in value.
In this decision the supreme court
upholds, step by step, the acts of the
state tax commission. The action was
brought by the Northern Pacific COM
pany against Morton county as a test
case. 1t affects taxes for all railways
in the state on this class of property.
This is considered the most impor-
tant tax litigation ever submitted to
the supreme court of North Dakota
and is unique because other states do
not tax this class of property.

SECOND ANCONA Note
is SENT TO AUSTRIA

Washington, Dec. 21.-Secretary
Lansing announced that the second
American note to Austria on the sink
ing of the steamship Ancona had gone
forward.
The note is understood to be a vir-
tual reiteratiOn of the original Amer
lean demands, with the implication
that it is the United States last word
on the subject.
The note is about 5000 words long,
and although characterized by those
acquainted with its wording as firm in
tone is said to be somewhat less sharp
than the first note in the tenor of its
demands. 1t is based squarely, &C
cording to these officials. ON the Aus
trian admiralty's own version of the
sinking of the AnCona.

Washington. Dec. 19.-The official
text of Austria's reply TO tho Ameri-

here, reveals that the Vienna govern
ment denies that the views present

of the submarine.
The reply denies also that blame
can be placed on the Austro-Hun-
garian government, even If "a most

piled to the judgment OF the case.
The note also states that the Aus
tro-Hungarian government is unable
to determine what the United States
intended to indicate when it mention
ed the attitude which Germany had
assumed toward submarine warfare.
1t was agreed seemingly in official
quarters that the official text does

also was apparent that the door to
further negotiations is not closed.
Second Note Completed.
President Wilson has completed
work on the second note to Austria.
Friendly relations, it was stated au-
t~horitatively, are nearing the break
ing point and their continuance will
depend entirely on the reply Austria
will be asked to make Immediately to
the second note.
While the word "ultimatum" was
not used by officials in discussing the
note it was indicated that the reply
will state clearly the alternative
which will follow if Austria's reply is
unsatisfactory.
The gravity Of the situation did not,
however, cause President Wilson to
postpone his departure for the South
on his wedding tour.
President Wilson, while on his we'd
ding tour, will keep in constant touch
with the White House, and, if neces-
sary, Secretary Lansing will go to
see him to discuss the situation.
