LIENS With STATE LANDS ]!
Attorney General Smith Rules Future
Purchasers Must Assume Drainage
Encumbrances With Acres. :
BUYERS WILL BE NOTIFIED

Purchasers of state land in Bel
trami county, or any county in the
state, must in the future take their
acres subject to all drainage liens,
according to an opinion submitted to
State Auditor J. 40. Preus by At
torney General Smith. g..
Mr.. Smith says that when lands
have been improved by drainage at
public expense they should be reap
praised before sale. When such re-
appraisement is made, there should
be deducted from the value of the
land itself the amount of the osten-
fsible lien for the building of the
ditch, which benefits the land and en-
hances it's value. 8.
The attorney general adds that no
lands against which such a lien is
recorded should be sold without no.
tice to the purchaser, publicly given.
of the existence of such lien.
''The appraiser" says the opinion.
latter finding the value of the land
as it would be unencumbered. but
enhanced by drainage, should deduct
therefrom the amount of the encum-
brance which the recorded lien
shows. This would give the mini
mum price for which the land can be
Sold" ET
The attorney general says that
this is. not an Il deag plan, nor one
fully supported by the statutes, but
it seems to be the only practical So
luton of the problem. - y
There are about $4,000 acres of
state land so encountered, with liens
|aggregating $423,000. The legisla-
ture has failed to provide for paying
off the liens, but at the last session
provided $22,500 for paying the in
terest. Owners of other land in the
districts affected are anxious that the
state take care of it's obligations and
that the lands be placed on the mar
ket and on the tax rolls.

Ofensives Are to Be Developed.

east-.Main Clash May Be Delayed
By J. w. T. MASON.

New York, May 27.-The first pre-
liminary movements of the various
belligerents revealed last August in
what directions the main offensives
were to be developed. Similarly,
ltaly's initial advances yesterdayindi-
cate the detectives selected by the
Italian general staff.
Incursions into Austrian territory
have been made during the last "a
hours in two directions. One is to-
| ward the northeast, the other toward
the southeast The two movements
are separated by about Is miles.
They have no inter-relationship. The
northeastern advance carries the
Italians into difficult mountain ranges
and cannot long be pursued without
risking disaster.
Price of Neutrality.
There is little possibility that the
northeastern adventure will prove to
have been an objective necessitating
operations far from the Italian bOr-
derland.
The occupation of important towns,
several miles inside the Austrian
boundary, which were demanded by
Italy at the price of her neutrality,
is probably the principal task set be-
fore the northeastern army. These
towns are Tolmino and Plezzo, which
are connected by the main mountain
highway on the Austrian side of the
boundary. The highway has been
seized by the Italians at point mid
way between Tolmino and Plezzo and
about eight miles from either Of
them. With the capture of these

MAY BECOME LIQUOR HUB
Red Lake Falls Only Town in Valley
Disclined to Put cid" in Opera
ton Under County Option
SENTIMENT FAVORS SALOONS

AS result of county option cleo
lions it now seems that Red Lake
Falls will soon become the LIQUOR
hub" off all Northwestern Mime
sofa and North Dakota.
Every other county in the Red
River valley is going dry as fast as
elections are being held, but no petit
tions have even been started in Red
Lake county. A good part of it's
rural population is Canadian-French
and the sentiment of the county is
against saloon closing. So Red Lake
Falls bids fair to keep saloons for
some time to come.
The Bemidji brewery was closed
by operation of the Indian treaty
but those of Crookston and East
Grand Forks do not have to shut
down as result of the county option
law, but they are not allowed to sell
or ship to dry" territory. They
can continue to operate, however,
and ship their product to Red Lake
Falls, which is only 80 miles north
east OF CrOOkstOn. From there it
can be reshipped back into "dry" ter
ritory. So Red Lake Falls can be
used as shipping depot for North
Dakota, while the validity of the
Webb-Kenyon law remains in ques-
ton.
Moorhead and East Grand Forks
have already been put out of bust
ness as distributing points. Brock
enridge will be eliminated when
Wilkins county goes dry, and the
little town Of Oslo, in Marshall zcoun-
.ty, will be out of business as a border
liquor depot after June IA. This
will leave Red Lake Falls the near
est wet" town to North Dakota.
