fttKte Senator Fulton haa rendered an

relating to the leasing of the Nehalem

hold that tiio Oregon law of 1889 la

the county court of Clatsop county haa

ihe well-known urm yi wi
lam river. Mr. Fulton holds that the
act of 1889 specifically provides that only
unnaviguDie streams can he leased, and
in support of hi atatoroent that ttie Ne
halem i navhiable cite the definition
of a navigable stream rendered by the
Oregon upreme court, which follows :
"Where stream Is naturally of sulli
centilze to float mill loirs and. Itmav
oe, imau uoataover tome portion ol It
the public ha ft right to it free use for
that purpose. Nor is it essential that
such capacity continue throughout the
year; It 1 sufficient that It period of
high water, or navigable capacity, con
tinue to sufficient length of time to
make It useful as a highway."
Likewise. Mr. Fulton holds that the
law ol 1901 applies only to nnnavigable
streams, though that law is not now be
fore the court. On the ground that the
Nebalem is a navigable stream under
the ruling ol the supreme court here
quoted, the attorney holds that the
court ha not the authoritiy to lease it
10 tne petitioner.
In Ins opinion Mr, Fulton hold, that
the law of lHHil, as it is alleged to appl
to the other streams the lease of wind
Is petitioned lor the Uock creek, Hum
bug creek and Fishhawk creek la un
constitutional and has ever been so con
sidered. He say :
Innavigable streams are private
property, the bed thereof being the
proiierty of the owner ol land over
which the streams flow, just ft com
pletely a 11 no streams were there. No
appropriation can be made of the
streams or the beds thereof without
such owner' consent, and then only for
a public purpose noon payment of the
value of the property and all damages
caused by the appropriation. The stat
ute ol 1HHU recognizes tins loot, and at'
tempts to provide for condemnation of
the ripmian right, but no provision 1
made for Diving notice to the owner.
This defect I fatal to the validity of the
act."
In the opinion appears the following
sarcastic paragraph :
"I wish to suggest mat even n me
law of 18HA ia valid, it i discretionary
with the court to grant or refuse the
lease, and surely it would be an abuse
of discretion to lease to one corporation
so many important streams. The
Wheeler Lumber Company is evidently
thoroughly imbued with the spirit of
the times and rjronose to keen fully
abreast of the procession of trusts, for it
haa conceived the idea ol converting all
our stream of mountlan water into
trusts. I have heard that the trusts
never fail to water Uieir stocks, but
this is surclv the first instance where it
was pr'posed to stock all the water."

The followluB appeared in last Frl
day's Oregonian concerning the coal on
Scappoose creex :
"The lioard of trade has evidence that
atnnm-nrmlticiixr coal can be laid down

Here b) the opinion, extraordinary in
in it conception, of one of our Wash
ington exchange:
"A western creamery ha evolved
new scheme that of doing the family
washings for it patron. A laundry
outfit ha been placed adjacent to the
creamery, and the steam, heat and water
of the creamery plant are utilized by the
laundry under the care ol a washerman,
with the result that s great burden haa
been removed from the farmer' wife
and the farm home to the co-operative
creamery. We do not see any reason
why this scheme i not entirely practica
ble. It certainly i worth investigation."
The scheme is practicable, to be sure.
from s standpoint oi ft labor saving de
vice favoring the housewife, but it would
not bear close investigation when parity
and healthful qualities of the dairy pro-
auct are taken into consideration, just
Imagine the product of the creamery
being flavored with the thick, gritty
juice extracted from a few dozen pair
of lock that had been worn for a num
ber of day during hot weather. A a
matter of fact, such a thing might never
happen, out JUHt suppose it wouia, ana
it might, where the opportunities would
be so plentiful tor such ft mistake-to oc
cur. Then the odor from the suds and
steam from the clothes vat absorbed by
the cheese and butter would constitute
an excellent quality of product for the

and until the building of a railroad, the
