SHELTON, Feb. 9.-TSpecial. The Shell
ton sawmiil is now engaged in getting out
lumber for two new dwellings. to be
erected for Frank Drolet and Calvin
Saegar. Twenty-four buildings of all
classes were built during last year, and it
is probable that considerable building
will be done this year, as there are no
vacant houses in town.
During the wind storm Tuesday night a
limb fell on c. A. Titles house, breaking
in part of the roof, and one rafter fell
within a few inches OF Mr.. Little, who was
sleeping upstairs.
The lumber situation is apparently inn
proving in this section. Two large RATS
Of logs were sent to Blakeley and Had
lock mills last Friday. and several other
sales have been made, considerably re-
duc;ng the stocks in water. Williamson
has both his camps ON the S. S. W. at
work, and also one special order for lot
of piles. which he is getting out with OK
teams. The Grager Lumber and the
Mason County Logging Companies are
both contemplating opening work on the
Washington Southern before March I,
both companies having new roads and
camps all ready to get out logs when Or

Thomas Brophy. inspector of customs,
had a very uninteresting experience on
the British steamer ::Mogul, which sailed
from Tacoma for the Orient the other day
aud stopped at Victoria on the way.
Brophy was detailed TO accompany the
vessel 20 Victoria 20 see that none of the
eight Chinese who had been ordered de-
ported by the collector escaped. Brophy
was on the steamer eighteen hours, and
the officers refused to give him any food or
place TO sleep. All of this bad blood
was caused by the collectors seIzing some
personal effects of the officers for duty.
The next time the Mogul visits the Sound
she will probably meet with warm re-
ton by the customs inspectors.

WArAKoNErA, o., Feb. 1l.-Wapakoneta
is experiencing the most serious fire in her
history. The best business blocks in the
city have been burned, and other blocks
are on fire. The people for six squares are
on the tops of the houses pouring water
on the sparks. The fire originated
in notion store. A lot of frame shanties
to the rear caught, and the fire spread
along the rear end of the buildings. The
firemen could not reach the blaze from the
rear on account of the proximity of the
river, which Is very high from recent
rains. The fire became complete master
of the situation, owing to the fremen
being unable to light it. The fire depart
ment was very poorly equipped, with
nothing but small steamer and q hand
engine. Clothing stores, cigar shops, no
ton stores, banks. dry goods stores and
drug stores were all burning at the same
time, and the heavens were ablaze.
The light could be seen fifteen miles
around the country. The Mechanics
block, the finest in the city. is completely
destroyed and the walls have fallen in.
The Lima fire department was sent for,
but were too long in getting here. The
Masonic Temple, Royal Arcanum and
Knights of Honor halls were among the
ruined. the First National bank Is burn
ing now.
At 80 a. m. the Auglaize wholesale and
retail whisky store was burned. Explo-
sion after explosion followed as the
whisky barrels caught. kauhn's dry
goods store is in ruins, and Fishers
clothing store is totally DESTROYED.
The Buckeye Cigar Company and
number of other stores
are burning and cannot be saved. A hum

Der. AT 3 80 a. m. the Ere is still burning.
but with fair prospect of soon being
under control. The loss is now estimated

ply passing from q territory 20 statehood
sndsss the state of Washington with title
20 al the tide lands within its borders not
previously disposed of b. the United
States. profess Is now on foot 70 petition
Congressman John L. Wilson 30 present
ball asking congress 20 make grant of
these lands 20 the state Of Washington
and thereby settle ali doubt on this ques-
ton and save future litigation. Il has
been conteaded heretofore that these
lands have been held in trust by tue
United States for the future state, bat
recognized authority on Iaw. in late edi-
lion. expresses the opinion that this belief
- founded npon q misunderstanding OF
the celebrated Alabama case OF Pollard vs..
Hagsn, aad that the rights and powers Of
the. general government in respect TO
lands OF which il is the proprietor cannot
thus be restricted on the fancifal notion
Of a trust" for possible future state. II
would scarcely be con,ended; for exam
pie, says an able attorney, with any
degree of seriousness, that the United
States cannot lawfully convey 10 private
parsons lands embracing portions of the
shore of Bering sea merely because in the
remote future Alaska may possibly DO
erected into q state. II is true that
new state must be admitted into
the Union on an equal footing
with the older states. But this
does not imply that IL must be the owner
of an equal amount Of territory or
equally the source Of title to all the
LANDS within its boundaries. If this were
so the United States could never dispose
OF On acre of public land. inland or shore.
The equality spoken Of Is political equal
ity. and the sovereignty of the new state
has nothing TO do with its proprietary
rights. Though 1t may not own any por-
ton OF its shore, it Is sovereign over that
shore as much as over any other portion
OF its territory. For it will always retain
the jus pubIicam, which can never be
alienated either by the United States or
by the state itself. and the remarks made
In Pollard VS.. Hagan can properly be car
r!ed no further than this; for 1t las there
observed that If the control Of the shore
could be granted away the state would be
deprived of many valuable police powers,
but those powers the state still retains
after the land has passed into private
ownership" As the tide lands in the
state OF Washington are exceedingly val
liable. there is no doubt that our congress.
men at Washington City will do all in
their power to secure to the state these
lands
