1865, and the plat thereof on file in
the land office, held, that the pat
entees took title to the respective
portions of an island extending along
the course ofthe stream, and between
the meander line and the thread of
the stream.
Chief Justice Sullivan in his opin-
ion calls attention to the fact that
the island involved never overflows.

He stated: In Farnum on waters,
the author states the rule to be as
follows
Islands formed in the stream be-
fore the admission of the state into
the Union are subject to disposal by
the federal government the same as
other public lands If they are
formed after the admission of the
state. the question whether they be-
long to the riparian owner. or are the
property of the state, is governed by
local law.
"The record clearly shows that
this island was in existenance at the
time Idaho was, admitted into the
Union of states and long before and
was occupied as early as 1891.

versed."

Mr.. E. A. Freeman, who had an Of
flee in Wenatchee two years ago as
a representative of real estate inter-
ests in the upper country, but who
lives at Bridgeport, has announced
his candidacy for the office of county
commissioner of Douglas county, to
represent the northern district of the
county, subject to the republican
primary vote.
There is a bunch of boosters at
Bridgeport. They have done as
much as the residents of any other
locality, perhaps more, to secure
state and national aid for the open
ing of the Columbia river; they are
pushing some big irrigation projects;
they have secured the only state-aid
road in that part of the state, and
they are offering the Okanogan Elec-
trio Railway company everything in
sight if it will build. to Bridgeport
They have some rough roads in
this commissioners district, and
their great ambition is to get the best
transportation facilities possible,
both on the river, by rail and by
wagon road. At the request of this
real progressive and pushing local
ity, Mr.. Freeman has announced his
candidacy, and there seems to be no
doubt of his election. He has resided
in northern Douglas county for the
past seven years and is we'll ac-
quainted with the needs of the coun-
try and is splendidly fitted for the
office. He took up a homestead just
south of where the town of Mans
field now is, and when a postoffice
was established in the neighborhood
he named the town mansfield"
that being the name of his home
town in Ohio. He was United States
commissioner at Mansfield before
moving to Bridgeport.
He has host of friends in Wenat-
CHI e, all of whom hope for his NOM
inatiOn and election.

There is to be no official pardon
this year for the offense of wearing

one who wears his hot weather head
gear after yesterday will do so on the
strength of his own judgment and
courage alone, for Mayor Gellatly de-
clared yesterday that there would be
no proclamation prolonging the sea-
son for "straws" until September Is.
Il shall not issue any such pro-
clamation, and what is more, l never

in taking such action. Every man
has a right to determine for himself
what he shall wear as long as he does

ARE STILL SELLING.
FAKE LOTS

in the East.
Is SNIDE CONCERN
Exposed by Chambers Of
Commerce, G. N. Rail
way and Others.

The Great Northern Land & Town
site Company, so-called, which has
put the Trinidad townsite on the mar
ket is still selling lots in the east.
The other day man came in from
Wisconsin on the representation of
this company as to the townsite of
Trinidad. He brought his show
cases with him prepared to open a
confectionery and bakery. He said
that he had bought property there
and that bunch of his friends
were waiting until he got settled and
had intended to follow him out to
this western country. On seeing the
conditions he Immediately got aboard
a train and left the country in dis
gust.
Is a Deplorable Fake.
With all the good things that there
are in the west it is considered a
deplorable thing and a bed knock on
the country that this fake concern
should be allowed to operate. It's
scheme has been condemned by the
Chambers of Commerce and reput-
able business concerns in this part of
the state.
Fred w. Graham, industrial agent
of the Great Northern, has written in
to headquarters the following letter
in reference to this concern:
Il am sick and tired of answering
inquiries in regard to Trinidad.
There is snide concern calling them
selves the Great Northern Land &
Townsite Company which got hold of
a tract of scab land adjoining Trini-
dad, and surveyed it up Tito town
lots and have been selling these lots
to suckers in the east for $40 and
$50 per lot. These lots are not
worth that many cents.
They have been disposing of them
by means of a house to house canvass
in Minnesota and other middle west
ern states. 1 called the attention of
our people to this concern two or
three months ago and have repeatedly
called attention to it since, and
have had the matter up with our at
torneys and all of our officials both
eastern and western No one, how
ever, seems to have taken it very
seriously, but 1 think it is a pretty
serious matter, myself Complaints
are coming in from all quarters
Chiefs of Police of various eastern
cities are wiring to Spokane in regard
to this concern, as Their headquarters
are there.
I wish you would cause some
publicity to be given to this in the
papers with a view to heading them
off from selling any more lots in
Trinidad. l have had more inquiries
in regard to Trinidad since these
fellows have been out than all the
other towns put together, and have
gotten tired of answering them.
There is, of course, no prospects
particularly for Trinidad. 1t has one
store and a hotel, and is small
wheat shipping station, and is about
as large now as it was fifteen years
ago.
