Tho Surname Court of the United

The Supreme Court of the United
States believes that the stat g of Ore
CON and Washington should get to-
pether and settle their boundary dis
mite along the Columbia river, with
out going into court. This opinion
is expressed in denying the petition
of Washington for rehearing. The
controversy concerns jurisdiction over
certain inconsiderable islands, which
are valuable only for the fishing
grounds surrounding them. AS re
suit of disputed jurisdiction there
have been frequent conflicts between
the authorities of both states in the
administration of their respective
laws. The Supreme Court holds that
Oregon retains control over these is
lands. In closing the dispute refer
ence is made to recent act of Con-
rress. designed "to enable the states
of Mississippi and Arkansas to agree
upon a boundary line and to deter
mine the jurisdiction of crimes COM
mitted on the Mississippi river and
adjacent territory" The court sug-
gests that Washington and Oregon
might be governed by this Act, and
appoint commissioners to agree on a
boundary line to avert future conflicts.
