ISLAND OWNERSHIP is SETTLED
General Land Office Reversed by In
terror Department in Ruling
Emma s. Peterson Gets Property and
Important Precedent Established
Statesman J

(Statesman)
OF the greatest Importance, so fed
eral officers says, because of the
hundreds of acres involved in island
tracts in various streams of this state
which 1t affects, is the decision which
has been received in this city by
government officers from Frank
Pierce, first assistant to the secretary
of the interior, in which certain
island claimed by Emma S. Peterson
is granted to her. - The decision is
in direct contradiction to that of the
general landoffice, from which the
appeal was taken and which decision
was founded on rulings made by the
Idaho supreme court The ruling
established precedent for owner
ship of thousands of acres of valu-
able island lands along the Snake.
the Payette, the Salmon, the Boise
and other streams of the state.
The supreme court of Idaho held in
the case of Lattig against Scott and
others that the omission on the part
of the government to take notice of
an existing island and the subse-
quent approval of the survey is to
be taken as evidence that the island
is inteded to pass as a part of the
land it ADULTS.
1t is claimed by the interior Off
cial that the decision of the Idaho
court is not sustained by the rulings
of the supreme court of the United
States.
. The title state acquires upon
its admission to the Union is to the
navigable waters and the soils under
them, according to the decision, but
not to the lands above the water. 1t
must follow, says the department Of
fetal, that islands formed in stream
before the admission of a state into
the Union, as was the island under
consideration, are subject to the dis
posal of the federal government.
Fifty-Five Acres Involved
The island to which Emma Peter
son lays claim is in sections Is and
%, township 10, south of range "a
east, and contains about SIS acres.
The island is of sufficient area, &C.
cording to the assistant secretary, to
rebut any presumption that it passed
to the state upon it's admission into
the Union as part of the bed of
the stream.
1t is held that the material ques-
ton is whether or not the island was
a well defined body OF land existing
at the date of the township survey
and of the admission of the state to
the Union. 1t is shown that the
island in this case was in existence in
1874, at the time of the township
in it's present form and po-
sition, and at that time had every
indication of having been long in ex-
istence. 1t was heavily overgrown
with willows and alders and was in
tested by wild cats, deer and other
game. ....,.
The decision goes on to recite
many cases which have come up in
various states showing the rights to
the islands and concludes finally that
The decision of the commissioners OF
The general land Office is in error
and that the application of Emma
Peterson should be allowed.

since luncheon, and even the thirst
following the South American goulash
was gone. There was probably some
thing to eat in the pantry, and If there

to the basement.
AS it happened, however. found a
very orderly assortment of left-oyers
and pitcher of milk, which had no
business there, in the pantry. and
with plenty Of light l was not at all
frightened.

milk, and was fast becoming a ra-

was one of the South American ciga-
rettes, with tobacco wrapper instead
of paper, that Mr.. HARRISON smoked.

Il saw you kiss her In the dining
room. remember that!" Aunt Selma
went on, giving the screw another
turn
It was Bella's turn to be excited.
She gave me an awful stare, then she
fixed her eyes on Jim.
Besides" Aunt Selma went on,
you told me today that you loved
her. Don't deny 1t, James"
Bella couldn't keep quiet another in
slant. She came over and stood at
the foot of the bed.

Miss Caruthers," she said, in voice
like ice. Every one knows that he
loves her; he simply overfows with
it. lit is quite by-word among

Yes, that was what she said; when

time In the den. Bella was catfish,
and she was jealous, too. 1 turned on

turned to her, with my hand on the
knob.

Well, Aunt Selma ate all the lobster
salad. and drank the port after Bella
had told her 1t was beef, iron and
wine, and she slept all night, and
was able to sit up In a chair the next
day, and so infatuated with Bella
that she would not let her out of her
sight. But that is ahead of the story.
At midnight the house was fairly
quiet, except for Jim, who kept walk
ing around the halls because he
couldn't sleep, l got up at last and
ordered him to bed, and he had the
audacity to have a grievance with me-
Look at my situation now!" he
said, sitting pensively on a steam re-

OISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like
The face looked like raw meat We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene

BULLETIN FACTS vs.. BAKERS.

According to what Ray Stannard
Baker has written, practically all of
the independent cane planters and
homesteaders in this Territory are
failures. The Bulletin has not
found this to be the case I'm its can
vass for material for its annual in
dustrial edition. We cannot believe
that the American Magazine writer
met only the failures while here.
In the Honokaa district there are
men who have become prosperous
and independent by supplying the
plantation with beef. Others have
made good as cane planters.
Mr.. Baker cites the experience of
MIR. Gamalielson, who planted cane
for the Hilo Sugar Company. Had he
gone little further along the road
he must have encountered Mr.. Curtis
who as cane planter for Olaa has
made Il success of IL.
Facts brought out by the Blu e.
tins Industrial edition will be espec-
tally timely In view of the fact that
isolated experiences are being select
ed by mainland magazine to prove
case against the protective tariff on
sugar.
