ISLAND STILL IN NEBRASKA.
Meanderings of Old Muddy Cannot
Take II Away.

WASHINGTON-Th supreme court
Of the United States decided the boun-
dairy case between the states of Mis-
souri, and Nebraska in favor of the
state of Nebraska. The case involved
the question as to whether a change
of the course of the Missouri river
had the effect of changing land which
had heretofore been on the west side
of the river to the east side of the
river, from the jurisdiction of Ne
braska to the jurisdiction of Missouri,
but the court held that 1t did not. The
opinion was by Justice Harlan, hold
ing that the boundary must remain in
the middle of the old channel as be-
fore the change.
The tract of land that caused the
controversy is known as MCKissick's
island, lying between Nemaha county,
Nebraska, and Atchison county, Mis-
souri,. The controversy originated in
1867. Previous to that year the is
land was regarded as indisputably in
Nebraska. The river at that point was
in the shape of an OK yoke, and on
the night of July 3 of that year the
water broke across the land lying in
one of the bends, thus throwing the
land on the east instead of the west
side, of the river. The claim was
made by the Nebraska authorities that
this was made by the digging of a
ditch.
In his opinion Justice Harlan eX-
pressed his opinion admitting that con
gress had not intended by its act ad-
hitting Missouri into the union to
change the established rule and make
the varying channels of the Missouri
river the western boundary of that
state.
Missouri" he added, does not dis
pute the fact that when Nebraska was
admitted into the union the body of
land described in the present record
as McKissick's island or Island pre-
cinct, was in Nebraska. 1t is equally
clear that these lands did not cease
to be within the limits of Nebraska
by reason of the subject avulsion."
The final decree is postponed pre-
pared for thirty days to allow the Mis-
ouri and Nebraska authorities to
agree as to the location of the center
of the old channel

INSISTS ON A CHANGE.
The President Committed to Railroad
LEGISLATION.

Legislation.
WASHINGTON--President Roose-
welt discussed with several callers the
proposed legislation regarding the
question of railroad freight rebates
and the question of empowering the
interstate commerce commission with
authority to adjust freight rates
where found to be excessive. Among
those who talked with the president
were Secretary Morton and Il. p.
Bacon, chairman of the executive
committee of the interstate commerce
commission.
The president is anxious that legis-
lation in the interest of shippers be
enacted at the earliest possible date
and the matter has been considered
by him with many of his recent call
ers. It was stated by one of the
presidents callers that Attorney Gen
eral Moody now was engaged in the
preparation of bill which, substan-
TALLY, would embody the views of the
administration on the question, and
that the measure would be presented
to congress probably soon after the
holiday recess. The president has
announced that the bill he is willing
to support must be fair to both the
railroads and the people. He believes
that the initial steps toward the de-
sired legislation should be taken at
the present session of congress, and,
if possible, that the legislation pro-
posed should be crystalized into law
at this time.
Senator Hepburn of Idaho had an
extended talk with the president on
the subject of federal charters for
corporations doing an interstate COM
merce business. The senator indi-
Gated his intention to introduce in
the senate after the holiday recess a
measure providing for the incorpora-
ton under United States laws of all
corporations. The bill as prepared
by Senator Hepburn will provide that
corporations now in existence must
take out federal charters and that
such corporations as may be organ
federal laws, All such corporations
will be under the supervision of the
department of commerce and labor
through the bureau of corporations.
The bill has not been matured thor
oughly yet, but Senator Hepburn
hopes to have it ready for introduc-
ton Immediately after the holidays.

HEALTH OF TROOPS EXCELLENT
Encouraging Report From General
in Philippines.

Observation-Disclosures General
l.andall commanding the department
of Luzon, Philippine islands, in his
annual report to the war department
says that the general health of the
troops is excellent, the disappearance
of cholera having removed one of the
greatest sources of anxiety. The i'm
proved health conditions are said to
be due to the construction of new
posts, the absence of hard field SER
vice, the drinking of distilled water
and enforced abstinence from native
fruits and uncooked vegetables. 1t is
recommended that continuous service
in the Philippines be limited to two
years in order to avert nervous break
down which is said to be quite com
mon among the white troops in the
islands.
