NOT OREGON LAND,
Oontsntion Of washington Boundary
Commissioners-OId ship Chan-
mel IL the Line.

.
II. L. Rice, OF South Bend. and J. B.
Nice, of Cathlamet. who compose the
Washington state boundary commission
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 Colombia river to Tongue Point
They find that vast and valuable tracts
OF tide lands besides valuable fishing
and seinine 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
commission lays claim to considerable
territory now held by Oregon.
Of WahkiaKum county the main
channel was formerly up Woody g
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 OIe-
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 mp 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 commission has made 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 seininR 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 80 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.
