satisfied the lawyer would be able to ac-
complish two or three of the principal OBJ

A. w. Haste. former prosecuting attor-
ney Of King county, addressed the ASSOC
citation relative to the rights of beach
miners. In defining the beach limit he
said he believed the mean tide should be
construed as meaning the average tide,
or about half way between extreme high
and extreme low tide. Some, he said, re-
garded the high tide limit as the line
where the growth of vegetation began.
But the speaker could not coincide with
this view.
