of it. The result was that just as
soon as the order of business was
concluded there was motion to ad-
journ. One of the members wanted
to amend, but the speaker ruled him
out. There was some doubt as to
whether the motion was carried, but
the speaker gave those opposed no
oppor tunity to vote it down, for the
moment he put the question, "those
apposed," he did not pause but con-
tinued, ''the ayes have it and the

LOST ISLANDS IN LAKE SUPERIOR
Discovery is Made That Apostle Islands
Are iii Iron County.

Discovery is Made That Apostle Islands
Are iii Iron County
According to an article which ap-
peared in the Ashland Press of Mon
day the Apostle Islands have been
mixed in their geographical location,
and instead of belonging to Ashland
county, have for manv years been a
part of Iron county. The story of
the losing of the islands is told by
the Press as follows:
1t has been discovered that all of
Outer island, all of Michigan island
and the east four section of Presque
Isle belong to Iron county and not
to Ashland county. All tax matters
affecting Outer and Michigan islands
and the east third of Presque Isle
since August, 1893, are null and
void. All mortgages and deeds Of
every kind, which have been filed
since that date in Ashland county,
must be filed again in Iron county.
Parties owning real estate on these
isla nds, when they read this article,
will do we'll to look to their rights at
once.
The discovery was made last Sat-
urday by an abstractor out of the
city, who is doing work for the San
born brothers. Looking up the title
OF one of these islands, and being a
stranger, he was not aware in what
county they were located, and turn
ing to the revised laws of 1898, he
discovered that they were in Iron
county. It was thought at first
that he was wrong, but "a reading of
the statutes Of 1898, showed that he
was right.
The mistake was made by the re-
visers of the statutes of 1898.
Up to August, 1898, all Of the
Apostle islands, expecting Sand is
land, were part of Ashland county.
The reviSors in describing the
boundaries of Ashland county, took
the liberty of using their own Ian
guage, instead of using that of the
old statutes. They extended the
boundary line from Fish creek,
northeast through Chequamegon
bay, between Madeline and Bayfield,,
thence north to the open lake, to an
imaginary line out in the open lake,
thence due east to point directly
north of Montreal river. and then
south. All east of this line was in
Guided in Iron county.
County Attorney Dillon is pre-
pairing a bill to send to Madison
placing the islands back in Ashland
county.
TAX matters since August, 1898,
affecting these islands" says W. M.
Tomkins, cannot be cured. Both
Ashland and Iron counties will be
losers and I am afraid that individ-
uals holding deeds and other docu-
ments since that date, will be put to
d great deal of trouble.
