Moorhead Department
Minnesota Has 4 Unique Cases
Before u. S. Supreme CourI

The state Of Minnesota Ia q party
to four suits of original Jurisdiction
before the supreme court Of the
United States. all returnable on
March s.
Cases of this nature are extremely
rare. and it is unusual for the highest
court in the country to have more
than two during any year in its his
tory; and these from the entire United
States.
Two Of the cases are the fiowage
damage suits brought by the states
Of North and South Dakota against
Minnesota as a state, the amount
claimed by each state being 1000, 600.
It Is claimed by the Dakotas that
Minnesota, through state and other
bitches, has diverted water from its
natural courses to the Red river and
caused great damage to lands OF the
plaintiff states through floods.
The position Of the Dakotas In
these suits is really that Of trustee for
the landowners who have suffered
loss by reason of the foods. An indi-
Vidual could not maintain a suit
against a state; and the present cases
were not brought until permission had
been granted by the supreme court.
The third suit is to determine the
boundary between the states Of Min
nesotaL and Wisconsin through st.
Louis bay. Wisconsin Is seeking to
enforce payment Of taxes upon Min
nesota property valued at $2S0,000. It
is claimed by Wisconsin that the
boundary between the two states was
the middle Of the channel before 1t
was improved for navigation. Wiscon-
sin claims that the original channel
was close to the Minnesota shore; ana
that It has been diverted towards the
eastern shore by filing in and ex-
tending the made land" and docks

1 her western border.
The boundary between the two
states has been in dispute for many
years. not only In the northern part
but through Lake Pepin. where juris-
diction over the hahing rights was the
question at issue.
The fourth OF the cases before the
supreme court was brought by the
state of Minnesota against the secre-
tary Of the interior and the commits
sioner of the general land ONCE to en-
force grant of timber land In Todd
Cass and other counties in that sec
ton of the state. In resisting this
claim the government denies its legal
ity on the ground that the United
States was not the owner Of the lands
at the time the grant was made. The
lands in dispute are included in the
Northern Pacific land grant which
the government contends was made
and confirmed prior to the grant OF
the same lands to the state Of Mime
sofa.
Attorney General Lyndon A. Smith
was in the city last evening on his
way to st. Paul. He had been at
Wheaton and Breckenridge for the
past few days gathering data for use
In opposing the fiowage claims Of the
two Dakotas. E. v. billiard, state drain
age engineer, had accompanied At
torney General Smith and secured
some additional maps and information
in Moorhead yesterday
Attorney General Smith expects to
leave for Washington early next week
to represent the state in these cases.
He said last night that the govern
ment had failed to raise the question
of the right Of the state Of Minnesota
to sue the United States. Notice OF
such action must be filed three weeks
before the return date. No such
notice had been given on Feb. Ii, the
latest date upon which it could be
served in the timber grant case.
