NOT OREGON LAND.
Contention of Washington Boundary
C"nimissioncrs-Old Ship Cham
mel Is the Line.

F. l.. Rice. of South Bend. and j. B.
Nice, of Cathlamet. who compose the
Washington state boundary com m ission
appointed by Governor Rogers to inves.
tigate the disputed boundary line be-
tween Oregon and Washington, have
completed their work from the mouth
of the Columbia river to Tongue Point.
They find that vast and valuable tracts
OF tide lands besides valuable fishing
and SEEMING grounds, which are now
claimed and taxed by Oregon, are in
Washington according to the law estab.
fishing the territory of Washington and
defining the boundary line between it
and Oregon to be the center of the
main ship channel of the Columbia
river. The initial point at the mouth
OF the Columbia is two miles from Fort
Stevens and four miles from Fort Can.
by on line across the river connecting
these two points. Thence the line fol.
lows the center of the main ship cham
mel, which has remained practica lly
the same since the boundary was de.
fined first, until the confines of Wah.
kiakum county are reached, where the
comm mission lays claim to considerable
territory now held by Oregon.
Off Wahkiakum county the main
channel was formerly up Wooddy's
channel through the Cordell channel
and thence into Wooddy's channel.
This was buoyed by the government as
early as 1858 and ran close to the One.
gon shore. These channels are not
now in use. as the construction of the
jetty. which was expected, according
to the United States engineers report.
to scour them out. in reality filled
them up and throw the main channel
over on the Washington shore. This
shifting Of the channel has formed val.
liable tide lands, including the we'll.
known Miller and Oliver sands. which
the commission claims for Washington
on the ground that the old channel and
not the new one should be taken as the
dividing line. This construction also
throws into Washington territory the
Desdemona and Middle sands which
have never before been claimed by this
state.
The commits sion has made a prelim.
mary inspection OF the boundary line
up the river to point above The
Dalles and from all their information
it would appear that Oregon claims
and taxes everything in sight, includ-
ing some lands which have as high as
100 families living on them.
Ii the contention of the commission
proves to be correct, over 80 per cent
of gillnetting ground and nearly all OF
the SEEMING grounds on the Columbia
belong to Washington, and Oregon has
no foundation to its claim of jurisdic-
tion over Sand island, which has been
the cause even OF bloodshed in years
past.
Mr.. Nice, the member of the com.
mission from Cathlamet, has lived on
the river for over 30 years and his per
sonal knowledge Of the location of the
old channels and his wide acquaintance
with the old-timers on the river are
proving of great value.

Ship Oranges in Liquid Air.

The Fay Fruit Company, Of Los An.
geles, has made arrangements with
Char les +. Tripler to use his processes
and appliances for the manufacture and
employment of liquid air. The object
is to equip the refrigerator Gus of the
company so that liquid air can take
the place of ice. Since the company
sends East yearly over 1900 car
loads of citrus fluit, vegetables. dried
fruits and nuts. and the great bulk Of
its shipments must be made in refrig.
Grated cars, this matter is highly i'm.
portant. The plant which will be IN
stalled for liqufying air will also sup.
ply magic substance for use in every
other conceivable way.

Some Additional Charges are Pre-.
f6fred
WHICH ARE SUPPORTED By
AFFIDAYIIS
They Charge immortality and Mis-.
management.

Weston, W. Va, Aug. l0.-The
following additional charges were
made today and filed with the
board (:
To the board of directors Of the W.
Va. Insane Hospital
Gentlemen We, the UNDER
signed, ask to make the following
additional charges against youi
superintendent DIR. W. +. Stathers:
L. That IN the spring of 1S9
from April 10 to about the last Of
May Mrs. -- VAS a patient at
the hospital, that she was discharged
cured, that in the early part of
June. 1898, DR.. Stathers wrote to
her Offering her a position and that
when she came to accept it he said
he would have 20 give her a place
in the center building and that if
be kept her she would have to yield
20 him.
2. That In the simmer OF 1897,
DIR. StaLhers had in his employ one
Mrs. ---, that upon one oc
casion, when confined to her room
by reason of sickness, he (Stathers)
visited her and made very improper
advances toward her and talked in
u very improper manner.
3. That he left the institution
about June Is, 1899, and met n
Miss -, formerly am employe
OF the institutions under HIM, and
the two made a trip to Cincinnati
together.
4. That DR.. Stathers is loose in
his management OF the hospital
and permits the employees to remain
away from the institstion and hide
about in dark places, even off the
grounds until after IL O'Clock
at night, long after the printed
rules require them to be inside the
building.
5. That Notwithstanding the
PRONUNCIATION OF rigid rules to pro
hlbit drunkenness, he has permitted
repeated instances of drunkenness
in the institution ana refused to
charge the offenders.
The first and second of these
charges and a part of the third are
well supported with afidavits now
in our hands and we are ready to
prove them all.
Your board is primarily response
bic for your superintendent and we
take IL that you seek the facts to
the end that you may know whether
or not these charges of gross i'm.
morality are founded on fact. We
shall be pleased to put You in pos
session of the names Of witnesses
who will testify fully AS to this that
yon may know the tru'h as it is.

MR.. JOHNSON cur LOOSE.

One day last week, there was fun
in the Justice Courr oyer a neigh
borhood row from out bout Twi-
light. 1t seems that two nrighbyrs
Noah Gross and Jesse VI. johnson
had been having trouble with their
stock tlespassing on each other and
the latter had fastened up the Ark
mans pigs and made him come
after them and pay fifty cents
damage, which the namcsake OF the
hrst grea, navigator Of the globe,
paid and demanded n receipt for
the amount. Then Noah went
home and served a proclamation on
COmrade Johnson, to the effect
that no must move a line fence off
him or he would throw il down.
Johnson considered this n Gross
affair and called Noah in to trans
late it. One word led TO another.
and finally Jesse and bis son.
Milton, and Noah got into a rogu-
lar riot with some loud talking that
aroused the neighborhood and it is
reported that swearing was heard,
but as both are class leaders, it
must have been quotations Of
Scripture. Noah testified that he
couldn't run and had to draw his
cane IN self defense. He said that
Jesse attempted Sank movements
on him, while his son attacked
him in front, but being a war
veteran he WAS on to such military
movements and held his ground
with his face to the enemy. Mrs.
johnson finally called of the
"dogs Of war" and ordered Noah
home and there was no blood shed
but Noah got uneasy because the
/ Johnson had threatened TO lick
him and 50 he come 10 town and
swOre out 9 peace warrant for them
and Constable Fawcett served n
and tied them mp in Squire Flynn's
court. There we're q lot OF Wit
nesses and considerable cost and
after wading through IL all the
Justice decided that Noah was in
no great danger and the Mr..
Johnsons we're cot loose, leaving
tho Navigator to pay The cost.
about fifteen dollars. p. j.. Gro
gau was attorney for the prisoners
while Nr. Gross managed bis own

The reported attempt by a Ger.
tain clique in the Democratic party
to shelve Bryan and nominate
someone else will be fruitless, for
the hold that the brilliant leader of
1896 has on the masses Of the
people is too strong to be shaken.
MIR. Bryan will be nominated
despite the wishes OF the self-con.
situated leaders just as Mckinley
was in 1896.

slderlng the proposed bill to fasten

The reason is because the sessions

the government pays the bills.
