SUES FOR HIS OYSTER BEDS
J. n. Scott Of Olympia Seeks to Make
Company Reiinquish
Six Acres.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 2.-Suit has been
started in the superior court of Thurs
ton county by ]. H. Scott, of Olympia,
against the Olympia Oyster company,
seeking to eject this company from
certain tidelands in Thurston county.
1t is interesting now at this time as
there are bills pending before the legis-
lature affecting the right of the oyster
men in and to the oyster lands of the
state.
From the complaint filed in the court
against the oyster company by Scott,
it is alleged that Scott and wife are
the owners of all the tidelards in front
of lot q. of section %. township 10
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-02-02

north of range 8 west and that the
oyster company is exercising control
and claiming to be in possession Of
about six and one-half acres of these
tidelands, and that such possession on
the part of the oyster company is un-
lawful.
The facts seem to be that the Olym-
pia Oyster company claims to be the
owner of the oyster bed formerly own
ed by J. A. Gale. which was purchased
from the state under some of the oyster
acts. for the propagation of oysters.
and that the oyster company and its
grantors have been in possession Of
this six acre tract for a number of
years, and some years ago j. H. Scott
purchased from the state of Washing
ton all the tidelands in front of lot 4.
and this suit is for the purpose of hav-
ing the court eject the oyster company
from these oyster lands and to declare
that j. H. Scott by reason Of being
this lot, owns also the oyster bed. be-
cause the oysters being propagated
here are grown upon what is claimed
by Scott to be tidelands.
Bill to Confirm Title.
Senator Ruth of ThurstOn county,
recently introduced in the senate, and
DR.. Beach. the representative from
Mason county, introduced in the house,
bills for the purpose of confirming the
title of these oyster beds in the own
ers thereof, but whether this suit was
the result of this contemplated legsla-
ton is not known.
If Scott's contentious be upheld to
the effect that his purchase of all the
tide lands carries with it the right of
occupancy of these oyster lands, it will
be seen how important and far-reach-
ing this litigation will become, because
it will affect hundreds of acres of valu-
able oyster lands. wherever tide lands
are owned by other persons than the
owners of the oyster beds.

Waterloo Boys Literally Wipe the

The basket ball game Friday night
between the Marshalltown and West
Waterloo high school teams, played at
the high school gym" proved very
much Of farce, as far as score was
concerned. The visiting team literally
wiped the earth with the local players,
overwhelming them by a score of SO
to Is. The team work Of the visitors
was perfection itself, and their super
Tor training was evidenced at every
stage of the game. Crazy and Good
forwards; Mead, center; and Blather-
wick and Leise, guards. comprised the
local team, and the visiting five were
Weller and Walker, forwards; Rice,
center; and Sine and Van Schoyke,
guards. Twenty minute halves were
played. Charles Walker, of Waterloo,
acted as referee, and Luther McCon-
nell, of this city, umpire. The timers
were Joe Kerr, of Waterloo. and j. W.
r. Wildman, of this city. A crowd of
$50 witnessed the game The Waterloo
team has played ten games this season
and won eight, having been beaten
twice by Cedar Rapids. The Waterloo
boys went to Grinnell this morning,
where they meet the Grinnell team

at the same time the dealer he buys

Local Comment

Councilman Devines ordinance pro-
posing to put the city solicitor on a
yearly salary of 5000 in lieu of the
|. present plan of paying 500 and addi-
tional fees for each piece of litigation,
raises very interesting problem in
municipal management. Mr.. Devine is
enthusiastic in his belief that his plan
will prove the best for the city and he
points to the city's lawyer ex. 'e for
six years back, averaging aI.whers
from $500 to $4,000 annually. He be-
lieves that the citys business is Of
greater magnitude than the county's
and that il the county attorney on a
salary has proved a wise plan, the city
has a greater need of adopting the
same system. He is confident that
the city. could we'll afford to pay a
salary as high as $1,000 year and
save money, for the reason that with
q guaranteed salary in sight the best
lawyers would run for the office,
whereas they now prefer to negotiate
for each special case as litigation
arises. The reform is no untried ex-
pertinent and might prove wise for
the city.
Mayor Ingledue, on the other hand,
fdisagrees with Mr.. Devine, believing
that salary of $500 year is more
than the city need pay for lawyers, If
the city's business is managed rightly,
and he cites his two years of admin
istration in which the lawyer cost Of
litigation originating in those two
years has been less than $500 or $3.50
per year. The mayor admits that the
city has been burdened with lawyer
expense for the past five or six years,
due to the paving imbroglio, but he
insists that outside Of what his ad-
ministration inherited from the past,
the city has had no need of 5000 worth
of lawyer per year since the present
council and mayor have been in office
and he thinks that il future councils
and mayors will settle and arbitrate
and keep out of trouble as most bus
mess firms would do, the cityswould
never need average any 5000 per year
in any long period. He is also afraid
that in case weak lawyer should hap
pen to be elected, large sums might
be jeopardized or additional lawyers
employed, in which event more than
5000 would be paid out.
y
The question is one that might rea-
sonably arise in any board of directors
of a business corporation. The city
transacts about 100000 worth of bus
mess per year. Most business corpor-
atoms retain a lawyer at nominal

To bear me out in the statement

I do not claim that the attorneys have
made excessive charges, for some of the
litigation entered upon and in which the
city had to be defended in its legal
rights. was most difficult, hut l do
and that the onY business, principle
under which a city official should be
placed is a fiat salary. A salary Of
$500 looks rather small after looking
over the schedule and to me rather
convincing. The city is q, corporation
that Is growing and stands in a posi-
ton of being thu eatened by litigation
at any time, year in and year out. 1t
has been SO in the past and will be in
the future. While a salary of 5000 Is
not so great that ain attorney will leave
his own Office to devote his entire time
to the city's interest believe 1t suf-
ficient to induce any attorney OF the
city to become interested. AS it is, no
attorney will ass. st city solicitor
without good fees.

the city does every year, about $780,

been said the very fact that no salary

Brilliant vIoIinist Coming to the Odeon

The praise bestowed upon Francis
Macmillen. the young violinist. who is
to be heard here at the Odeon next
Tuesday evening, has been no less en-
thusiastic turnout the country than in
New York, where he made his Amert-
can debut. Everywhere, the young vio-
linist has been hailed as a second
Paganini.
Gifted with personality that IS
poetic in the extreme" says the New
York World, "the young man brings to
his bowling not only the fire and en-
thusiasm but the beauty of youth. The
slender figure, instinct with grace, the
dark retrospective eyes and waving
brown hair should bring him the hon.
age Of Paderewski.
His delicacy of coloring, his certain
ty of touch, the impetuosity of his
bowling, which in the Paganini concerto
in d major was so amazingly shown,
place him at once in the front ranks.
