NORTH CHANNEL Is LINE
Sand Island Is Given to Ore
g0n After Long Contest.

gOn AILer Long contest.
| Sand Island. with its surround.
ing fishing grounds at the mouth
Of; the Columbia River. lies in
Oregon and the Oregon Wash
ington boundary remains in the
old north channel, where it was
|established when Oregon was
admitted to the Union. This is
the decision of the United States
Supreme Court, handed down by
Justice Brewer today, and affirms
the contention of Oregon, as
presented by Senator Fulton.
In his opinion Justice Brewer
says: u
"The northern boundary of
the state Of Oregon was estab-
lished prior to that of Washing
ton and it is not within the
[power of the National Govern
ment to change that boundary
without the. consent of Oregon.
The same description of the
boundary is found in the act ad-
mitting Oregon and in the con-
stitution of Washington, under
which that state was admitted.
In that description the middle
of the North Channel was named.
There was at that time two chan
nels, and the northerly one ran
north of Sand Island. That the
channel north of Sand Island
was the one intended as the
boundary between Oregon and
the territory north of it is made
more clear by that fact.
On October 81, 1854, Oregon
passed an act granting to the
United States all right and in
|terest of the State of Oregon in
and to the land in front OF Fort
Stevens and Point Adams in
this state, and also to Sand IS
land, situated in the mouth of
the Columbia River in this state
This act passed shortly after the
admission of Oregon, indicates
an understanding between Ore
gon ard the United States that
the boundary was through the
channel north of Sand Island.
It is a recognition of Oregon's
title to that island, and accept
ance by the United States of the
grant from that state. The courts
have no power to change the
boundary as prescribed in the
act admitting Oregon, and es-
tablish it at the middle of some
other channel.
"That remains the boundary,
although some other channel
may in course af time become
SO far superior as to be practical
ly the only channel for vessels
going in or out Of the river. The
middle Of the north ship chan
mel may vary through process OF
accretion; it may narrow, may
become more shallow, and yet
the middle of that channel will
remain the boundary. When in
a great river like the Colum bia
there are two substantial chan
nels, and the proper authorities
have named the center of one
channelas the boundary between
the states, the boundary thus
prescribed remains the bound
ary, subject to changes in it,
which come by accretion, and
it is not moved to the other
channel, although the latter in
the course of years becomes the
most important and is properly
called the main channel. Our
conclusion, therefore, is in favor
of Oregon, and the boundary re-
mains the center of the north
channel" ~

MANY LARGE
APPROPRIATIONS
Big. Sums Required
for State Purposes.
o. A. c. TO Be ENLARGED
Reports Will Rec 0mmend over
$3.OOO,O0O to meet Expenses
OF State for Next two Years

1t seems altogether probable
that the appropriations for state
purposes for the biennial period
1909-10 will pass the $4,000, 900
mark. Though only few of
the state institutions and depart
ments have made their reports
recommending appropriations
for the ensuing two years it is
apparent that the increase in
population of the state and the
consequent increase in business
at state departments makes a
general increase necessary in al
most every item of expense.
The crowded condition of the
State Insane Asylum and the
proportions that institution has
attained, makes it necessary that
a separate institution be provid-
ed and it is generally believed
that an appropriation will be
made for branch asylum some
where in Eastern Oregon. The
rapid increase in attendance at
the Agricultural College and the
certainty of a further increase
in the future requires larger ap-
preparations for that institution,
and as much will probably be
needed as is now appropriated
for the State University. The
new laws requiring circulation
of pamphlets in pursuance of the
corrupt practices act, entails
heavy expense. 90.
At the State Capitol the de-
partments are now crowded for
room and when this Legislature
meets, it will be difficult to pro-
vide committee rooms. The
only solution for this difficulty
seems to be the purchase Of
small tract adjoining the Capitol
grounds where a separate heat
ing station can be erected, with
room therein for the state print
ing office. This would give room
for some slight additional offices
in the Capitol.
There is strong demand for
the creation of an insurance de-
partment, State Board Of Con-
troll and for the enactment of a
comprehensive water code with
a provision for state administra-
ton. The state will be asked to
help build a home for the Ore
gon Historical Society.
These items alone, in addition
to the fixed current expenses of
the state, will carry the total
past the So, 900, 900 mark. There
is, also, a demand from Eastern
Oregon that scalp bounties be
restored. Agitation has been
strong for some time in favor Of
state aid for public roadbuilding:
The bill for erection of armories
by the state will probably be re-
newed in another form, though
defeated by the people last June.
In some quarters there is an ar
gument in favor of'an appro-
priation for purchase Of the
Oregon City locks by the state
without waiting for government
aid. There will be renewal of
the demand for'ia bureau of
mines. Out of all these projects
some appropriations are quite
likely to be granted, the amount
of which cannot even be esti-
mated. ts.,...5 III

And tie window eyes o. lie 10g house
seemed to leer at her.
A warm supper. Marylyn's bright
face, her fathers placid retorts-all
these did not suffice to drive away
her forehodings. What was there in
the coming night?
All her instinct spoke for caution.
The lantern was shaken out before
the table was cleared. Her father and
sister early sought their beds. She
only lay down In her clothes. The
hours passed In strange suspense.
She listened to her fathers deep
breathing. to the mules when they
wandered into their stalls. to the snap
Of Simon's long brush as he whipped
at the mosquitoes. Her eyes kept
searching the black corners of the room
and the pale squares of the windows.
Her ears were alert for every sound.
She fell to thinking Of Squaw Char
ley He had not come for his supper
or brought them the daily basket. Was
he growing indifferent-to them?
1t was when she could no longer
ed even terrible shape. She dreamed.
and in her dream head came through
the dirt floor close to her bed. 1t was
covered by war bonnet of feathers.
Beside it. thrust up by lissome fingers
fingers white and strangely familiar
was tomahawk.
Soon she made out a face-Mat-
thews'. She squirmed. striving to sum
mon her father. A flame fiickered up
In the fireplace. The face changed
from white to red, and Charley danced
before her. She squirmed again. The
face faded
She found herself sitting bolt up
right Her hands were cliuched de-
fensively. her teeth were shut so tight
that her jaws ached. She was staring
wide eyed ct the door.
The shack was no longer In dark
ness. Morning was come, and its light
made everything clear. She sprang mn
and lifted the latch, then fell back, her
stiffened lips framing cry.
Before the shack, driven deep into
the nearest bit of unpacked ground
was a sapling new cut and stripped
clean of the bark From Its top, flying
pennon-like in the wind. was a scarlei
square And at one corner Of this
, dangling to and fro in horrid sugges-
tivenesss swung shriveled patch thai
held q lock of hair.

HUGHES MESSAGE
TO LEGISLATURE
NEW YoRK's GOVERNOR SENDS
ABLE STATE PAPER TO OPEN
ING SESSION OF LEGISLATURE
AT ALBANY TODAY

! ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 1.-The
131st annual session of the New
York state legislature began at
noon today. The second annual
message of Governor Hughes, the
feature of the opening, contains
many important recommendations.
Chief among these, in the light
of conditions disclosed by the re-
cent financial upheaval, is recon-
mendation regarding the amend
ment to the law relating to banks
and trust companies, the governor
urging the adoption of every prac-
ticable means to prevent a repeti.
tion of the reprehensible practices
and to assure the proper manage
, ment of financial institutions char
tered and supervised by the state.
Another recommendation has as
its object the complete suppression
of racetrack gambling throughout
the state. The governor recon-
mends extreme caution in making
any changes in the present insur-
ance law. He also recommends an
extension of the public-serviee act
so as to bring the telegraph and
/ telephone companies under the reg
ulation as to rates, service, etc.

JAPANESE MOB ATTACKS FIRE
MEN WHO BY ACCIDENT HAD

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. "A
special to the Oregonian from Van.
couver, B. G., says: Allan Ander-
son, asfireman, is dying, and two
other young men, also members of
the city fire department, are badly
wounded and in the hospital as the
result of fight today in the jap
anese quarter with an overwhelm-
ing number of subjects of the nil
kado.
Anderson, accompanied by J..
Frost and t. Mcdonald. were pass
ing a Japanese store when Frost
stumbled and fell hard against the
plate glass window front. The glass
smashed and the fragments were
still rolling on the sidewalk when a
score of Japanese appeared from the
inside and rushed at the trio OF
whites. The firemen were in uni
form, with brass buttons and official
caps, but the Japanese knitted them
furiously. Within three minutes
there were dozens of Japs in the
fight. all trying to get at the white
men. The latter were borne to the
ground and cut and slashed until
the sidewalk in front of the place
was covered with blood. The police
station is less than three blocks
away but 1t was quarter of az
hour before armed officers arrived
at the scene of the fight. Only foui
arrests were made, as nearly all thu
Japanese scattered at sight of thu
policemen.
! His two companions thought tina
Anderson was dead and had beef
: fighting over his PROSTATE bod,
when the police came. Anderson
7 face was marked with many slashes
I up and down, and from one side T
the other. From the back OF hi
!. ear to his shoulder was slit tw
! inches deep that had only missed hi
, jugular vein by fraction of a
t inch. His body also was stabbed /
y half a dozen places. The other tw
j men were cut and bleeding froI
e wounds on their faces and arms, A
were taken to the hospital. Thre
doctors worked over them for hour
sewing up their wounds. 1t is III
likely that Anderson will recover.
