The announcement followed formal

Judge L. II. Chalmers, an attorney
of the Santa Fe said last evening that
all railroads would have to obey the

Decision of Case of w. O..
Moore VS.. Land Commits
sioner w. A. Moeur Over
turns Schedules Of the
Appraisal Board

A decision was rendered yesterday
morning in the first of the cases On
appeal from an appraisement by the
board of appraisers of the state land
department, overturning the sched-
ule of values fixed by the department
for water rights The case was that
of W. 8. Moore against w. A.
Mouer, land commissioner.
The appellant is the occupant Of a
tract of school land lying northeast
of the city, In the course of their
work the appraisers fixed the value
of the land at $67.50 an acre and the
value of the water right, according
to the schedule based upon the Kent
decree, at $33 an acre, water having
been appropriated for this land in
1879. At the same time the other
improvements in the possession Of
the occupant were appraised.
About half the appraisements were
permitted to stand, but the valuation
of the water right was increased by
Judge Stanford from the appraise-
ment to $40 an acre. Other in
creases ordered by the court were as
follows: Clearing and leveling the
land to $2e an acre., 40 grape vines
from 500 to sac; 80 fruit trees from
S54 to $3.50; IS fruit trees from $40
to $50; fig tree from $3.50 to 81; :
pomegranate trees from $3.50 to 81;
13 umbrella trees from 500 to $40
Though -the appraisement of the
land had been attacked by the ap-
pellant. the court allowed that to
stand. The attorneys for the land
department gave notice of appeal on

in similar cases have been taken and
in many other cases appeals have

decision Commissioner Mouer and 5.
Y Rakley, of the board of appraisers,
left for Tucson to be present at the
meeting today in the matter OF the
extended Papago Indian reservation.
1t was stated that the department
had won a partial victory in the sue
cessful resistance of the attack upon
the land appraisement and ii was
further stated that inasmuch as the
purchasers of the school land IN
seventy cases in which such land had
been sold were the occupants, and
that inasmuch as in other cases the
occupants or owners of the improve
ments would be the purchasers. 1t
was immaterial what valuation might
be placed upon water rights or other
/ improvements. Just so the appraise-
/ ment of the land would be allowed TO
stand.
But it was pointed out that an ex-
tremely high valuation of the i'm
provements would prohibit competi-
| tive bidding for the land, so that the
state would be barred from obtaining
= more than the appraised value and
that if the occupant of the land bid
! less than the appraisement, there
could be no sale.
Attention was called to the further
fact that in this case there is TO be
