Real and personal property worth

placed on a decision just handed
down by the United States circuit

The decision is reversal of the
decision of Judge Page Morris in the

at issue in the boundary dispute be-
tween the two states as to the line in
the st. Louis river at the Twin, Ports.

had the right to change the channel of
