SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS OREGON
BOUNDARY CONTROVERSY DE.
CIDED AT LAST.
FISHING TANGLE CLEARED
Decision Will Remove Certain Points
OF Dispute Now Existing in
the Game Laws.

Washington, May 25-The United
States supreme court declined to
grant a rehearing In the Oregon
Washington boundary case involving
the location of the state line near
the mouth of the Columbia river.
Shortly after the court decided this
question In favor of Oregon's con-
tention. ex-senator Turner, of WASH
ington. filed a motion for a rehear-
ing on behalf of his state, and with
that motion he filed q brief setting
forth the alleged pew grounds upon
which the case sRsuld be reopened.
The court. however, holds that the
question involved Is SO simple, and
the facts so apparent. that there is
no ground whatever for the conten-
tion OF Washington. and 1t therefore
declines to give further attention to
the controversy. There Is no pos
sible further appeal from this action.
therefore Oregon's claim to Sand Is
land and other disputed fishing
grounds In the lower Columbia Ia
finally established.
Judge Brewer advised that the
two states should follow the plan
of the Southern state bordering on
the Mississippi river and ask con-
gress to determine all the niceties
of the question.

ISN'T THIS WORTH GOING AFTER

Mr.. Merchant, you can reach
more than 1000 families through the
columns of The News each day. There
is an average of five members to each
family and their Individual purchases
amount to several hundred dollars
, yearly. The total business of these
5000 readers will run into tens of
thousands of dollars within the
course of year and you are GER
tainly DESTROYS of getting your full
share and more too if possible. They
sare willing to spend their money
where they can get the best bargains,
and the merchant offering the best
inducements viii get the biggest
share.
You can get just as much of this
business as you want; it all depends
on you. If you don't want it, OF
rather If you don't try to get it some
other merchant will and you must be
content with what happens to come
your way. By using the columns of
The News you can become intimately
acquainted with them and they will
soon learn to look for your regular
talks" on goods, or articles which
you have to offer. 1t should be some
thing new every day or two, other
wise thew will lose interest
Don't think The News readers know
what you have on your shelves. They
don't buy from the travelling sales
man, therefore they expect you to
keep them informed on what You
have for sale, and especially the new
and seasonable goods Mr.. Mer-
chant, let us introduce you to
class of people who are just as anx-
ious to buy right, as you are to sell.
Put your advertisement in The News
and go after the business in the mod
.efn way. The big city merchants
have made success by following
the twentieth century method the
hustle and rustic plan-and the small
city merchants must adopt the same.
