Novel Land Case.

Washington. June R-A case presenting
some novel and interesting features has
been argued before Commissioner Herman
of the general land Office. 1t involves the
ownership of lands surrounding Lake
Malheur in Oregon. and hinges upon the
question of whether the owners of the
land down to the waters edge in 1871 can
now hold lands left dry by the receding
waters Of the lake. The French Glenn
Live Stock company is the appellant and
claims under the surveys of 1877 and laws
of Oregon possession of and to the waters
edge of the lake. Since that year there
has been a subsistence of the water and
this company now claims the vacant land
as riparian right. A large number of
settlers have filed entries for this land in
the local offices of the department and
now the question is as to the title of the
land exposed by evaporation between 1877
and 1895.
