the shores of Devils lake, the annexed
letter received by e. T. Hopkins of the

be of general interest. The commits
sioner of the general land office writes:
Il have to state that no reservation
is made by the United States below the
meander lines of lakes. Meander lines
are not boundaries, but are run for the
purpose of determining the area of
the fractional tracts bordering on such
meandered lakes, and purchasers Of
such tracts hold and own to the water
line"
The commissioner further cites q
number of decisions that have been
made by the supreme court, which
settle the question and show the OWL
ers along the shore have complete ard
exclusive control to the water line.
