that will seriously affect the extensive
log lifting operations on the Muskegon
river At the same time, 1t has es-
tablished for the time being the
sovereign rights Of the people who live
along the river and own land
Judge Davis decided that tine log
lifting company has no right to pull
the logs from the river and that the
logs belong 70 the people living along
the river bed.
Log lifters and the farmers have
been at odds for years over this matter
and the decision is one Of great
moment It probably will mean that
farmers will BE- given considerable in
the way Of compensation for their
rights
