AT the hearing in Olympia Wednes-
day afternoon the State Land Com
mission cancelled the application OF
Charles Hilderbrandt for the purchase
of oyster lands in Chapman's Cove,
and declared the lands the property OF
the State, not subject to private entry.
Hilderbrandt has been fighting this
case for several years and claims that
he has been defrauded Of his rights,
but for some reason he has little
sympathy or support from those in the
vicinity and presumably familiar with
the facts. He recently issued a cir
cu1ar containing a TRADE of abuse
against both the past and present Of
fcials, which probably did not help
his cause any, nor did his uncalled-for
reference that Shelton was a good
place to keep away from if you want
to invest any money"
