Job; it is a fine landing place." Cargo

Passengers and light freight can 60

work is great just EOw upon those who
are donating the labor, nothing more
will be done on the wharf until the

WATER FRONT RIGHTS.
Preference Rights of Upland Owners Ex-
pired Year Ago.

Preference Rights of Upland Owners Ex-
pired a Year Ago.
According to recent dispatch in the
Post-Intelligencer some of the compan-
les owning valuable water front prop
erty in San Juan county have just
awakened to the fact that their prior
ity rights to purchase the tide lands in
front IF the government meander line
bounding their property on the water
front lapsed year ago, and that since
then any citizen has had legal right
to purchase such lands from the state.
A few days ago e. q. Earle, editor
and proprietor of the Island County
Times, at Coupeville, filed upon the en-
tire Friday Harder waterfront from
the government military reserve ar
ound to and including the property of
the Island Packing Company. Browns
mill, and three substantial wharves
owned by Joseph Sweeney, The island
Packing Company and the San Juan
Trading Company.
Mr.. Earle has also filed upon the tide
land abutting on the property of the
Lunlni Island Packing Company in
WhatcOm county, where all the inl-
prOvements have been made since 1890,
and in fact since March, 1896, when
the time expired under the law giving
the owners of improvements OIL tide
lands preference rights to purchase.
All the cannery improvements at Fri
day HarbOr have been made since 1890
but there is some question as to wheth-
er there is any tide land in front of the
cOmpany's property. The cannery site
was excavated in rocky side hill, and
it is said that deep water extends to
the shore. Sweeney's wharf and ware
house was the only substantial inn
provement OH the Friday Harbor water
front in 1890.
J. E. Evans, keeper of the lighthouse
at Admiralty head, has filed on the
Roche HarbOr water front, where the
great lime kilns, barrel factory, store,
warehouses and docks of the Tacoma
and Roche Harbor Lime Company are
located. These improvements, with
the exception of the barrel factory,
were made prior to 1890, but under the
ruling of the former land commission
and Attorney General Jones the COM
pany's preference rights expired in
March, 1896. With comparatively few
exceptions the owners of property abut-
ting tide lands of the third class have
slept upon their rights for six years,
until now they are in danger of losing
valuable privileges if they do not speed
lily take advantage of the law.

THE NEW FISHING Law.

It is . Compromise Measuro-List Of Ii

The bill to regulate the catching OF
fish in the waters of the state of Wash
ington, which finally passed both
branches Of the legislature, is a COM
promise measure which was agreed to
by both the fish trap and gill-net men
after weeks of negotiating. Section l
makes it unlawful in any Of the rivers
flowing into Puget sound or Gray's
harbor or other waters for distance of
three miles from any river, or within
Deception pass, or in any of the salt
waters of the state, to maintain ut q
greater depth than IS feet at low tide,
pound nets, traps, weir, fish trap or
other fixed appliances for catching sal
mon. The penalty is not less than 500
nor more than $500, fixed in the second
section. Section 3 provides that those
who operate traps and wheels in the
Columbia or its tributaries are required
to buy a license and not more than
three licenses shall be issued to any
one person. Section provides how
gear and boats shall be marked. Sec
ton 5 says the leads to pound-net traps
in the Columbia river shall not exceed
800 feet in length, and in Puget sound
z, 500 feet.
The following fees for licenses shall
be collected by the fish commissioner

NOW WILLING TO SUBMIT ALL TO
ARBITRATION.


The contents of Japan's last com
munication to this government, with
the protocol prepared by Count Oku-
ma, have leaked out, despite the eff
forts of the Foreign Office to keep the
matter quiet. In the protocol Japan
makes complete change of front on
the immigration muddle, offering now
practically to arbitrate all the uues-
tions involved both of law and of fact
and to take testimony. The sugges-
tion was also made that the matter of
arbitration be left to a court com
posed of three eminent iurists of dis
interested countries.
The nature of Japan's new PROPOSE
tion proved complete surprise to
this government, for up to this time
the japanese government has main
tained that there were certain mat
ters in the controversy that she would
never submit to arbitration. most no.
tably the bona tide possession of $50
by each immigrant being sufficient cv-
idence of their right to land from a
pecuniary standpoint. Even this one
question Count Oltuma is now willing
to leave to a court of arbitration and
to have evidence taken and submit
ted on it.
The protocol. while in the main per-
fectly satisfactory tdthis government
was nevertheless rejected because of
certain points of lesser importance.
The proposition was made in return
to Japan to amend these points. and
if she consents the protocol will be
signed.
This government has been little
puzzled to understand Japan's com
plete change of front, and the increas-
ed cordiality of her local representa-
tive, who has left no stone unturned
to express his friendliness toward liza
waii.
The japanese papers are discussing
the expected return home of Minister
Hoshi and wondering if he will re-
turn to Washington next winter. 1t
is stated on good authority that ne
will not be returned. The story goes
that while at Washington last winter
he was led to believe that annexation
was a forlorn hope, and that it was
on his advice to his government to
that effect that Japan launched her
big immigration scheme to Hawaii, re-
sulting in the present controversy in
which she has been greatly humiii-
a fed

Floating in Foreign Ports.

along with our national progress"
says the Mainichi, Japan has now to
keep the comfy of nations on an equal
footing with the strongest powers,
and the foreign relations have become
more complicated since the war. 1t is
now time for us to promote the facil-
tiles of traffic in the sea. Although
Great Britain, France and Germany
and other countries dispatch their
war vessels abroad to protect the in
terests of their countrymen and en-
deavor to exchange international
courtesy, Japan has never sent out
her vessels to be permanently station
ed in foreign waters. Even the dis
patch of a single warship to Hawaii
awoke strange feeling in the minds
of the people. Like England, France
and other countries, Japan should al
so send out her war vessels to various
countries, especially to America and
Hawaii, where the greatest number OF
japanese are residing. Although the
Government has this project in view,
the necessary preparations should he
made beforehand. Most probably one
or two warships will be dispatched to
American waters i'm the course of the
next year, for by that time the build
ing Of new cruisers will be completed
and everything got ready
