TIDE LAND DECISION.

Following is the decision of Gov. Gro
YER on the tide land question, published
April 2. 1876. concerning the tide lands
in the State Of Oregon:
His conclusions are that the United
States cannot by patent or otherwise,
dispose of the chores and beds of navi-
gable waters; that the title of such lands
beleng to the individual State, and W.. lie
Territory is held by the United States
in trust for the future State, patentees
of the United States in Oregon take no
land below ordinary high water on nsyi-
gable streams.
That the State Board is authorized to
sell the tide lands between high and low
water.
That no person Ia authorized to con-
vey land below low water. and all claims
to land below that line are void. That
the act Of 1854, concerning boundaries
or tide lands, does not apply unless the
conveyance Ia doubtful, so as to need
interpretation. That the bank owner Is
entitled to purchase from the State the
tide lands in front of him. unless he, or
those through whom he owns the land,
have attempted previously to convey
said front.
That the purchaser Of tide front from
the bank owner ID authorized TO purchase
said tide front from the State.
Gov. Grover does not express an opin-
ion as TO whether the State has lost its
tide lands under the act of 1864, where
the deeds are of doubtful construction.
In the light of this ruling of the Board
applicants for the purchase of tide lands
will be able to bring thoir claims to a
speedy adjustment.

Dunn drew large-sized pocket knife and
attacked him. johnson was stabbed five
times, one cut in the left breast exposing
the heart and lungs. He made desperate
fight, and succeeded in drawing pistol and
sending a bullet through Dunn's head, kill
ing him in his tracks. Both men were
found weltering in pool of blood. The
tragedy has created great c0mmotion, both
parties being well known in the neighbOr-

MAKING READY FOR WAR.


A French naval demonstration is regarded
as probable ON the Chinese coast in the di-
rectiOn of Canton. Admiral PeyrOn, the
Minister of Marine and the Colonies, has a
telegram from Saigon saying that, accord
ing to Mandarin accounts, 1900 Ana
mese were killed and / 900 wounded dur
ing the recent bOmbardment of
the forts on the Hue River. Be
sides two transports leaving with 10000
men for TOnquin between the 10th and Goth,
another transport Will take battery Eof
mountain guns and material for 4, 900 men
from the African army The newspapers
demand that tine Government shall explain
the-real situation of affairs connected with
the Tonquin difficulty. The Chamber of
Deputies will probably be conyoked to con-
slider the relations of China and France.
The general impression is that France has
gone too far to retreat
