ing the Portland Public School Board;
Frank. RIgler, City Superintendent of

Park School, and H. S. Allen, clerk of
the district today petitioned Governor
Geer to remit the fine of $25 imposed upon
Janitor John "Whltehurst on conviction of
assaulting Alfred Gilbert The petition
alleges that Whltehurst as Janitor of the
Park School, was charged with the duty
of caring for the grounds; that Gilbert
had been directed to get off the grounds
and notified to remain off tho same, but
came back upon the grounds and was
thereupon forcibly removed therefrom. It
Is stated In the petition that no marks or
evidence of serious Injury appeared upon
the person of Gilbert The petitioners
represent that the fine was excessive and
unjust and that if the Janitor Is fined
for removing a boy from the grounds tho
example will be very injurious to the dis
cipline necessary to be maintained n th
schools, and particularly with respect to
the bulldlngs and grounds.
Governor Geer has the matter under ad
visement, and, unices a remonstrance is
presented, he will grant the petition.

TIDELAND CASE APPEALED.
Washington Supreme Court to De
cide Title to Oystcr-Beda.
OLYMPIA, Sept 24 (Special.) A new
and Important point In the manner of sale
of tldelands was raised before the Board
of State Land Commissioners today,
and the question will be carried to the
Supreme Court for final determination.
It appears that -the state has hereto
fore disposed of a large acreage of tide
lands suitable for the cultivation of oys
ters, having conducted the sale In the
manner prescribed for the sale of second
class tldelands. The theory advanced be
f6re the board today Is that there Is a
wide distinction between oyster-lands
and second-class tldelands. The former
is sold by the acre to the first person
that applies for It The latter is sold at
public auction, and the deed to second
class tldelands conveys "all tldelands of
the second class owned by the r State of
Washington, situate In front of. adjacent
to or abutting upon " a portion of the
Government meander line that Is then
described. It is now contended that such
a deed, does not include any oyster-lands
that" may He In front of the meander
line described In such .deed. It is fur
ther contended that the provision of the
law providing that no one person may
buy from the state more than 100 acres of
oyster-land has been violated by the
purchase In many Instances as second
class tldelands of more than 100 acres by
a single person of what were in reality
good oyster-lands.
The matter came before tho board In
the shape of six applications for tracts of
alleged oyster-ground situated in Skagit
County, the dlscriptions of "which conflict
with ccond-class tldcland .deeds hereto
fore Issued by the state. The board re
jected the oyster-land applications, and
notice of appeal to the Superior Court
was promptly filed.

Cures Consumption!
Dear Sirs: After reading your adver-'
tlserr.ent I bought a bottle of your
whiskey, which helped me right away.
I am now on my third bottle, using It
for consumption, and I feel like a new
man. ' I think that If I had known of
your whiskey when I was at home In
Chicago Ijvould have never come out
here for my health.
