OLYMPIA, July q. The state land COM
mission, consisting of Commissioners OF
Public Lands w. T. Forrest. Secretary OF
State Allen Weir and State Auditor T. N.
Reed, met Saturday evening. A CONF
munication was received from the county
commissioners of Pierce county, asking
for the assistance of the land commission
in the examination Of two tracts of school
lands. The land commission will go to
Tacoma tomorrow and give the matter
their attention. The law requires that the
county commissioners shall report an
nually on the school lands of their coun-
ties. Quite number of reports have al
ready been received. A report from Pom
eroy, Garfield county, states that some
difficulty is being experienced there in
reference to the school lands, and it is
likely that the state land commission will
have to go there also to rectify the matter.
The commissioner of public lands has re-
ceived from the general land office at
Washington City complete set of photo
autographed maps of ali surveyed lands
in the state up to 1884 Mr.. Forrest is in

Obstacle to Port Townsend Railroad.

ODstecIe co Fort Townsend hSafiroeos
OLYMPIA. July 28.-Among the difficult
ties experienced by the Port Townsend
Southern in obtaining the right-of-way
along the west side was in front of Giles,
the boat-builder. The property consists of
q marrow strip of tide land, about ninety
feet outside of the meander line. and the
only claim Giles had to it, said an officer
of the company, was q REIMBURSEMENT
claim. The company had driven the pill
ing as far as this strip. They had offered
Giles 500 in cash. Giles refused. and the
company then proposed to pay whatever a
jury or an arbltrating committee should
decide upon, but he still refused to give in.
and would not grant the desired right-of-
way unless the $500 in cash were paid him.
Thinking the company would proceed with
their work on Sunday, Giles built frame
work, supported on stills, which answered
as an Improvement. The company has
commenced condemnation proceedings.
