ARKANSAS WINNER IN
DISPUTE OVER BOUNDARY

A dispatch for Washington to the
Memphis Scimitar of March 4, says
that on that date Arkansas, in the
supreme court, in effect, won proceed
ings to determine the boundary line
between that state and Tennessee.
The dividing line, the court de-
.cided, is the middle Of the main chan
mel Of navigation at low water stage
in the Mississippi river, as the bed
existed at the time of the treaty with
Great Britain in 1888. A commission
will be appointed to fix the boundary.
The boundary dispute arose over
La sudden change in the Mississippi
rivers channel in 1875, what Is now
known as Devils Elbow" or the
Centennial Cutoff" by which a
large area Of land on the Arkansas
side was transferred to the Tennessee
side Of the river. Both States since
have claimed the land under differ
ent interpretations regarding the river
channel as the interstate boundary
line.
The decision gives to Arkansas
Deans Island and Island 81, in which
there are several thousands Of acres
Of rich cotton and corn land, valued
at s1,OOO,OOO, mostly owned by Mem
phis men.
