The 0l1cial Paper Of San Juan County
THURSDAY. APRIL Sth, 1897.

A "COMPILATION of the School
Granted and Tide Land Laws" OF the
State of Washington has just been pub
lished by authority of the Board OF
State Land Commissioners. 1t has a
marginal index and is very convenient
and valuable for reference for any one
who desires information relative to
State lands of any character. For the
benefit of persons in this county who
may not have access to copy and
who may desire to purchase the tide
lands abutting their property, we
quote the following information from
the "Addenda" to the pamphlet:
"All applications for the purchase OF
second class tide or shore lands abut-
ting on upland must be accompanied
with a copy of the United States gov
eminent field notes of the meander
line of such upland, which must be
certified to by the surveyor-general of
this state. A deposit of one-tenth the
purchase price of said land at the legal
rate of SIS per lineal chain on the gov
eminent meander line will be required
with each application.
"Notice of such applications, as pre-
pared by the commissioner, must be
advertised for at least thirty days in
some county newspaper designated by
HIM at applicants expense.
"Where the tide lands are separated
from the upland by navigable waters,
the applicant is required to make a
survey of such lands at his own ex-
pense and file plat and field notes of
such survey with his application. The
minimum price of such detached tide
lands is SIS per acre.
"Upland owners, who are the owners
of improvements on tide and shore
lands of the second class, shall have the
preference right to purchase such tide
lands up to July l, 1897, after which
date, or should there be no improve
ments ON said lands, anyone may
apply for the purchase of such lands"
Improvements are defined in section
of the new law as follows; When re-
ferring to tide or shore lands or harbor
areas, the word improvements" shall
be interpreted to mean all fills or made
ground of a permanent character, and
all structures erected or commenced on
said lands or actually in use for pur-
poses of trade, business. commerce or
residence prior to March 26, 1890, and
completed before January /, 1891; Pro-
yided, That ordinary capped piles or
similar structures or fixtures shall not
be considered an improvement.
ashore lands" are Glands bordering
on the shores of navigable lakes and
rivers below the line of ordinary high
water and not subject to tidal flow"
Second class tide and shore lands are
those not within the limits of any in
corporated city or town, or within two
miles thereof on either side.
Blank applications for the purchase
of tide or state lands may be obtained
upon application to the State Land
Commissioner at Olympia.

Coxey, whose fame has spread
itself from one side of the United
States to the other, as the leader
of the great industrial army of a
year ago, and who was told to
'.keep off the grass has been
nominated by the populists of
Ohio for governor on straight
ticket without any democratic
attachment. Mr.. Coxey is one
of those self-sacrificing leaders
who is willing to die for the dear
people providing there is some
thing in it for Coxey, and in this
respect he is not one whit worse
than the leaders of other parties.
However, we predict that the

Gil having satisfied itself of the need
of a church in this community and
that the preliminary organization had
been affected in accordance with Con-
gregational principles voted unani-

the moderator extended to the church
the right hand of fellowship. Rev. E.
S. Shaw read the confession of faith

Is the Business Worlds For, o,
Against, Good Govern
ment.

Government exists to make men.
not to protect property" No one has
the temerity to contradict this state
ment by word of mouth; and yet it is
a fact that the spirit of this CONNER
cial age would SO transform this prop
osition as to make it read in the UNI
written law of the business world:
Government exists to make property,
not to protect men," That this spirit
prevails is often confessed by men of
high moral principles, who plead this
as an excuse for the many irregulari-
ties of business life. They deplore
them but submit to them as being in
evitable. How many times have we
heard regrets from business men that
things we're SO and so, while followed
with the remark, "but that's business,
and man must conform to it's meth
DDS or be driven to the WALL" There
are exceptions to this rule, but after
all this is the rule. How rarely does
a man jeopardize his business for the
sake of not sacrificing his principles.
In nothing does this fact stand SO un-
disputed as in the conscientious hand
ling of the liquor traffic.
Though it is becoming much more
common to hear of business men who
boldly declare against, and pledge
their united effort toward putting it
down; fact which gives proof of the
steady onward march of true temper
ance sentiment. 1t is as surely COM
ing as the inevitable tide sweeps over
the waiting shore.
That brave assertion of Editor
Trubshaw, made two weeks ago, de-
serves hearty approval from every
law abiding citizen. When he said
that he would be one business man
who would pledge himself to help shut
up the blind pigs, we watched with
eager expectancy to see others follow
in offering assistance. Why should
not every business man respond to it
in that royal way which is their priv
ilege? But alas! not word of SYM
pathy or commentator appeared! Is
this right or fair? Surely there are
other men in Cooperstown who have
similar convictions. When man
dares to speak his honest convictions
and proposes to put those convictions
into action, it is a reproach to those
to whom the matter is submitted. if it
is passed by without notice. But we

Chauncey Depew never spoke
truer words than the following:
Twenty five years ago I knew
every man, woman and child in
Peekskill. And it has been the
study with me to mark boys who
started in every grade of life
with myself to see what became
of them. I was up last fall and
began to count them over, and it
was an instructive exhibit.
Some of them became clerks,
merchants, manufacturers, law
yers and doctors. 1t is remark
able that every one of those that
drank are dead; not one living of
my age. Barring a few who
were taken by sickness, every
one who proved a wreck and
wrecked his family did it from
rum and no other cause. 'Of

from subordinate positions on numer-
GUS roads. The new vice-president is
Secretary of War Lamont, ma
tional character.
It is claimed that the election of Mr..
Mellen as president, is an indication
that the old Northern Pacific interests
are to remain in positive control of
the road, and it is predicted that
Traffic Manager Hannaford, one of
the Oldest aud most popular officials
OF the line, who knows all about the
needs of the road and the people who
live tributary thersso, may be chosen
as general manager. 1t is also stated
that Lamont's selection does not
necessarily mean that the Great North
ern magnate will have amy guiding
hand in shaping the policy OF the COM
pany.
1t is to be hoped that such is the
case and that the two big systems will
be operated rs distinct in every way.
The Northern Pacific is certainly u
grand property and should be con-
Quoted on a. most liberal basis. The
future of the road is very bright. for
it traverses one of the greatest wealth
producing regions on the globe and
has natural sources of revenue in
grain, cattle, stock, timber and tide
water business that is unrivailcd by
any other line; while nothing but an
act OF congress intervenes between the
opening of vast mining industry,
that would quadruple the roads most
profitable business in q few weeks.
The changes in the old Pioneer Line
have been many of late years, but
during all this time the operating
management has continued first-class.
The stock and bond holders, mostly
foreigners, have suffered-as a natu-
raj result of ignorance of the value OF
watered stock. Bnt the losses they
have felt are of little consequence to
the real interests of the great road,
whose business has fallen off in pro-
portion to the decrease in the business
of the people along the line.
The natural tendency toward con-
solidation of all rival railway inter-
ests is seen on all sides, but the union
of the two complete northwestern sys-
TENS in this country may be deferred,
or diverted at least for time by this
last change in the Northern Pacific
management, which represents the
views of the latest syndicate of stock
holders in control; and it is is surely
a good omen for the people depend
ent on the road for transportation
service, if such be the CASE ames-

Senator Jones, of Nevada, edi-
tor of the Silver Knight and one
of the leaders of the silver move
ment in the last campaign, is
quoted as saying:
There is no room for pessim-
ism in this country. No one can
be a bear in the face of the
wheat famine in Argentine, Rus
sia, Hungary and India. In view
of these conditions abroad I
should not be surprised to see
silver sell as low as 25 cents and
wheat as high as 81. There is
nothing in talking silver at the
present time, and my advice to
my friends in the West is to fall
into line with the forces of pros
perity and progress, and receive
their due share of the reward. "
That is the right kind of talk,
and if the rest of the kickers
would fall into line and accept
the improved conditions it would
be a very sensible thing to do. It
does not make any difference
under what party good times
comes, and if it does come why
let pessimism be scattered to the
four winds. Let us look on the
cheerful side.
