RIGHTS ON THE WATER FRONT,

RIGHTS ON THE WATER FRONT.
Rights of the general public along
the river front has long been moot
ed question. There are those who
maintain that the land owner has no
right to fence down to the water and
to prohibit use of portions of his
land that abutted upon the stream.
In fact, it has become impossible to
maintain fences in many instances,
and near-riots have resulted from
disputes. On the lower Rogue the
past season was marked by bitter
strife, fishermen's war having been
in progress nearly all summer. Bear
ing upon these questions Of rights Of
land owners, the attorney general Of
the state has recently given the fol-
lowing opinion:
'If in a navigable portion, the title
to the bed Of the river belongs to the
state and the title of the upland
owner stops at mean high water
mark, unless he has acquired from
the state the tide land lying between
mean high and low water mark;
while If in the portion above naviga-
ton, the title of the upland owner
extends to the thread of the stream.
Therefore. would say in navigable
portions of the river, the shore owner
has no right to control the use OF
the bed of the stream, covered by
water. opposite his land and beyond
his property, but in the unnavigable
portion he has. and the answer would
be yes or no. depending on wheth-
er the stream is navigable or un-
navigable at the point under consid.
Grafton, and II the upland owner has
purchased the tide land to low water
mark, whether the point In question
Is within such mark"

JOHN BARLEYcoRN's DEMISE.

There will be no adjustment Of af-
fairs required in Josephine county
after the first Of the year because OF
the going into effect OF the statewide
prohibition law. Here the saloons
went out Of business a couple OF
years ago through operation Of the
local option law, and since that time
there has been no licensed sale OF
liquors within the county. The
buildings that became tenantless
when the saloonman vacated have
been given over to other lines Of busi-
ness, and there was no injury to the
property owner through the transfer.
Grants Pass was fortunate In having
settled this problem for herself, and
in having proved that communities
do not suffer when they outlaw the
booze business. There have been but
few serious attempts at violation OF
the laws here. The city council in
the first place made It unpopular to
try to circumvent the will OF the
people by making the punishment a
stringent one, and the OFFICIALS have
been faithful in their duty. With
public sentiment for law enforcement,
the law violator Is soon made to hunt
cover. That is why, after the first
few violations when the law becomes
effective, the trouble makers will van.
ish and the anti-booze law will be ac-
cepted as a good thing and will be
generally obeyed. Liquor drinking
is a habit, and when temptation is
not constant the habit soon disap-
pears. In few months people will
wonder why the liquor question ever
became such d factor in civic life.
Those communities that are fearing

| hind high wheat, high flour and high
! food prices. Clyne stated the wheels
OF his office grinding by naming his
assistant, Albert L. Hopkins, to take
charge of the Investigation in Cook
county. One of the first things AS
sistant District Attorney Hopkins
did was to go into the question of
how much grain is held by farmers.
Then he will question the biggest
grain traders in America if neces-
sary, in an effort to determine what
effect, If any. speculation may have
had on present prices. Bakers, mill
ers and members Of the board Of
trade already have talked the situa-
ton over with District Attorney
Clyne. 1t was said at his office this
enough to make him want more in
formation. Talks with bakers, mil
ers, grain traders and farmers, will
begin in earnest on Monday While
Hopkins is in full charge, District
Attorney Clyne is expected. to give
his personal attention to the ques-
ton Of whether today's sensational
drop in wheat prices is merely coin
cident with the issuance Of the Wash
ington order to probe the high price
situation. Clyne will ask whether
the jumps of today's grain market
when wheat at one time went from
sl.44a per bushel down to $14o
came just before or just after Chi
cago received news that the federal
Of justice sent to district
attorneys all over the country the
probe order.
Members of the board of trade, to-
night declared they would welcome a
probe Of conditions. They
say they are under cloud because
Of high prices that are the result of !
conditions. The greatest
war the world has ever known, they
insist, must make iteslf felt in high !
or prices, no matter what the size
Of the crops before the war. They
hold to the fact that wheat went to |

out even a war scare, merely be- .
