The clustering weather Of the past
few days has caused very bolster Gus
river and an extremely rough bar,
though Il has not been reported that
shipping has suffered seriously, The
fishing boats and other small craft
that ventured out IN the open Colum-
bia were pitched about In fearful
manner and the large vessels strained
at their great cables or moved uneasi-
ly under the influence or the hard
winds Yesterday morning the steam
er Miller left over for Chinook on Its
usual run but was unable to effect Il
landing owing to the rough sea, The
steamer, however. lid not sustain any
injury in making the attempt The
steamship Elder was compelled to lay
outside all Thursday night, She ar
rived in yesterday morning, bringing
II good lot of freight but no passengers,
There was considerable trouble exper-
fenced IN bringing he barge Santa
Paula inside, but this was finally done
in safety The tug Rescue had. the
barge in tow from san Francisco for
Portland where she is taking II load of
oil for the Portland Gas Works Thurs.
day the tug and her low arrived off the
mouth nut the Tatoosh refused to
bring her in While the bar was so
rough, The barge had dropped her
rudder and so would have been abso-
lutely helpless, Yesterday morning,
however, the ratoosh again put to her
assistance and this time an entrance
was effected, The voyage W the
coast had come near proving an III
starred one for the Santa Paula, at
times the weather becoming SO severe
that II was found necessary to put In
to different ports to obtain protection.

TIDE LANDS.
An Opinion Of the Attorney General Affects
Title Somewhat.


Attorney General Stratton has given
an opinion on a point in the land laws
of the State that somewhat upsets the
theory upon which second-class tide
lands have heretofore been disposed of
by the State. In accordance with the
law all contracts and deeds issued by
the State for tide lands contain this
clause in description OF the lands:
All tide lands of the second class
owned by the State Of Washington
situate in front Of, adjacent to or
abutting upon the government mean
der line described as follows. =
1t has been the evident theory of
the State and the purchaser as we'll
that this clause would include all tide
lands below high-water mark. As
matter of fact it does not in half OF
the deeds and contracts. The govern
ment meander line skips across inter-
vening inlets and bays and a large
amount of tide lands lies between the
meander line and the upland. In the
opinion of the Attorney General the
State has not disposed of the land
above the meander line in any OF its
contracts, and though the State owns
such tide lands (unless the land was
patented prior to the admission OF the
State) it has no authority to dispose
of them. AS the law now stands it is
his opinion that many hundreds of
purchasers of tide lands in the State
own far less land than they or the
State supposed they did. The same is
true of many valuable acres of oyster
lands. Invariably the government
meander line forms the boundary on
one side of all oyster claims, and in
many instances the owners are cult
waiting lands they do not actually own
above the meander line but below high
tide line.
The opinion of the Attorney Gene
raj will make no difference in the
manner of disposing of tide lands in
future or in the method OF making APP
plication, but change in the law by
the next Legislature will be necessary
and it is probable that relief bill will
pass quieting title to the original pur.
chasers of tide lands from the State
of all tide lands below high tide line.
