ARE TIDE LANDS
Banks of Navigable Rivers
So Defined.
JUDGE FRAZER GIVES DECISION
Shores Covered by Rise of River
Caused by High Water Are Held
to Be Tide Lands and May
Be Sold by the State.
A decision defining what constitutes
etate tide lands along the Columbia River
-within the meaning of the statute upon
the subject was rendered yesterday by
Judge Frazer In the suit of James Muckle,
Jr., et aL vs. James Good. This question
ias been a disputed one for some time,
and the decision Is one of considerable
Importance because there are a number
of cases pending or about to be brought
involving the same point.
It holds that tide lands are not limited
to lands which are uncovered and covered
"by the ebb and flow of the tide at all
times, but also Includes banks of navi
gable rivers which are covered by high
water caused by rains or melting snows.
The present suit Involves the ownership
of valuable water-front land In the town
of St. Helens. Muckle brothers do not
claim any paper title to the lands, but
allege ownership on account of use of
the lands and adverse possession for more
than ten years, and also assert that the
lands are not tide lands. At the trial of
the suit they submitted a great deal of
evidence'of various kinds to support their
contention of continuous use and owner
ship. Good holds a deed to the land from F. A
Moore and F. F. Victor, who purchased It
from the State of Oregon as tide land In
1883. In discussing what comprises tide
lands, Judge Frazer, In his opinion, says
In part:
"The land lies, on the bank of the Co
lumbia River between the line of low
water and a precipitous ledge of rocks of
somewhat Irregular formation, but running
practically parallel with the river, which
marks the line of ordinary high water.
It is admitted by all parties that these
lands are entirely covered with water at
high water and for as long a time as a
month or more on an average during the
"Winter time, and from one to two months
in the Summer, during what is known as
the June rise.
"Although this land lies approximately
70 miles from the ocean, at extreme low
water the effect of the tides causes the
river to rise from two to four feet per
pendicularly, and causes the water of the
river to flow and reflow over the lower
part of the land In controversy, which Is
in the nature of a sandy beach, a distance
of 50 or 00 feet. This rise caused by the
tides, however. Is small compared with
the rise of the river caused at different
seasons of the year by rain and melting
of snow.
"At dlfforent times during the Winter
eason the rise may amount to from 15 to
20 feet above the low-water mark, and
during the Summer season the rise Is as
great or greater. The effect of the tides
diminishes as the river rises from other
causes, and varies from two to four feet
at the extreme low water, to zero at or
dinary high water. At medium stage of
the river It is affected by the tides, but
the evidence does not disclose the exact
point In the height of the water at which
the effect of the tides ceases.
"It Is contended on behalf of Muckle
et al. that because there Is no part of
this land over which the tides constantly
flow and reflow during the whole year,
no part of It is tide land, and hence the
State Land Commission was not author
ized to convey the same nor any part of
it, ly the act of the Legislature of 1S7S
authorizing the sale of tide lands. On the
other hand It Is contended on behalf of
Captain Good that the Columbia River,
at this point being a tidal river, all of
the land between ordinary high water and
law water Is tide land and that it all
passed by the deeds from the State of
Oregon under which Good claims.
"Many authorities define tide lands as
the land over which the tide regularly
flows and reflows twice during every 24
ljours. . . . "When this definition has
reference to land upon the seashore, or
upon arms of the sea or rivers which are
not subject to rise from any other cause.
It Is strictly correct, but when It applies to
a river In which the tide flows and re
flows, and In which the water is subject to
variations from other causes, this defini
tion may well be questioned."
Judge Frazer, after discussing numerous
legal decisions on the question, proceeds
to say that the authorities. do not limit
tide lands to the lands which are uncov
ered and covered by the ebb and flow of
the tide at all times, but on a navigable
river the part of the shore or bank which
is covered by high water caused by
rains or melting snows Is as -much sub
ject to the public rights of navigation and
fishery as they could be if the rise of
water was caused solely by the tides.
Judgo Frazer discusses" the case some
what further and holds that the court
has held that such lands as described In
this suit are tide lands, and the State of
Oregon had a right to sell them, and that
the title held by Captain Good Is legal
and valid. Judge Frazor tried this case
for Judge T. A McBrlde, of the Fifth
Judicial District, who did not desire to
hear It, and S. H. Gruber appeared as
attorney for James Good. A copy of the
decision was sent to the County Clerk at
St. Helens.
T. W. PARKER FOUND GUILTY.
Jury Convicts Notorious Forger After
Deliberating Four Minutes.
Four minutes' time wes all that was
required by a Jury In the State Circuit
Court yesterday to find a verdict of guilty
against Thedore W. Parker, the notorious
forger, whose father is a prominent and
wealthy citizen of Montana.
The charge orA which Parker was con
victed was thvt of passing a check for
563 at the Portland Hotel on November
16, 1903. 'signed Wadhams & Kerr Bros.
Ralph T. McMlUln. cashier of the hotel,
Charles H. Gaylord. the secretary, Alex
H, Kerr, Joe Day, detective, and others
testified against the prisoner.
Mr. Day testified concerning the arrest
of Parker in Montana and his escape at
Umatilla Junction.
The other witnesses testified that the
checks given by Parker were worthless,
and Thomas F. McFaddon. who knew
Parker at Deer Lodge, Mont., and also his
parents, testified that he vouched for Par
ker at the hotel.
The prisoner is a young man of attrac
tive appearance and he wa,s represented
by B. P. Welch as attorney, while Dep
uty District Attorney A C Spencer ap
peared for the prosecution. Parker did
not offer an evidence in his own behaltT
doubtless realizing that It was useless tb
do so. The trial was before Judge Frazer.
During his stay In Portland, Parker
poshed bogus checks besides the one at
the Portland Hotel, as follows: W. R.
Cody, $05; W. R. Cody, $35; Frank Hoff
man. $30; A. Erlckson, $45; M. Shields, $15.
Parker previously served a term In the
Walla "Walla penitentiary. The penalty
provided by statute Is from five to 20
years Imprisonment. Parker's father has
frequently come to his relief in the past,
but seems to have become tired" of so
doing.
Boy Sentenced for'Theft.
H- Walker, a lad 17 years old, pleaded
guilty before Judge Sears yesterday to
stealing various articles In the Empire
House, at 274 Gllsan street, and was
sentenced to serve a term of SO daysIn
the County Jail. "Walker was charged
In the Information with larceny in a
dwelling-house, which Is a penitentiary
offense, but the court and District Attor
ney agreed to accept a plea of guilty of
petit larceny. Judge Sears admonished
the prisoner to be careful and keep out
of such scrapes hereafter. Walker's par
ents reside at Eugene.
HO OPPOSITION TO SEWER.
Committee Will Begin Work of Ob
taining Right of Way at Once.
There seems to be clear sailing for the
big Brooklyn sewer as far as the Council
is concerned, as there is no opposition to
it. Everybody wants it built. A member
of the committee appointed to see the
property-owners about getting right of
way says that no action so far has been
taken In that direction, but the committee
will now' take the matter up at once. The.
sewer and Its two branches will pass
through considerable private property, and
it was on the suggestion of City Auditor
Devlin that the committee was appalnted
to see if the right of way cannot be se
cured gratuitously, as had been done in
other sewer systems.
The sewer will be laid under ground at
a depth of 10 and 12 feet, which would
not damage the property. "To follow the
streets' said the City Auditor, "would in
crease the cost of the sewer from $30,000
to 540,000, as it would have to be a great
deal longer than by taking a compara
tively straight course."' Councilman D. J.
Sherrett Is chairman of the right-of-way
committee.
Sylvester D. White, also a member, said
he understood from City Engineer Elliott
that the contract for the building of the
sewer would be let In the early Spring,
so the work could be done during the most
favorable season. Steps will also be taken
to lay laterals. Mr. White will start a
petition for a lateral on Milwaukle street
next .month, so It can be put down and
ready for the big main. There Is need
for sewerage for all the lower portion of
the district, and laterals will probably be
put In as soon as possible to connect with
the main lines when built.
WINS THE BANNER.
Montavilla Assembly, United Arti
sans, Makes Greatest Increase.
Officers and members of Assembly No.
14S. United Artisans, of Montavilla, are
pleased over the news that they have won
the fine banner the Supreme Assembly
offered for the assembly making the larg
est increase In membership during the
pant six months. In order to hold the
banner permanently an assembly must
win It three times, and the- Montavilla
assembly has now won It for the third
time, and In February will receive the
beautiful token of their victory. Assem
blies at Oregon City, Albina and else
where were In the contest, and hot on the
trail of their Montavilla brethren, but
were not quit swift enough. When the
lodge gets the banner the occasion will be
celebrated.
As an aftermath of the contest an oyster
supper will be given In the Oddfellows'
Hall In Montavilla next Tuesday evening.
Those who brought In the greatest num
ber of new applications will be banqueted
at the expense of the others. Arthur
Royal is master of the Montavilla Assem
bly, and the membership has been carried
above the 200 mark.
Another South Outlet Wanted
An effort is to be made to get East
Tenth or East Ninth street opened and
Improved from Stephens Addition south
to Holgate street, so as to have an outlet
other than Milwaukle street. However,
on either street an elevated roadway will
have to be built over Stephens Slough.
On East Tenth the roadway would be a
short one, but would be much longer on
East Ninth street. Milwaukle street Is
the only outlet to the south, and it carries
a great travel from Clackamas County.
It Is occupied by double tracks from Hol
gate street, and the farmers of Clack
amas complain that they have a hard
time to get Into Portland with their prod
uce. The Improvement of East Tenth
street would probably furnish a better
outlet than East Ninth. It Is conceded
that something will have to be done to
get another street besides Milwaukle In
that direction. There Is no street enter
ing the city which carries the travel that
Milwaukle does, arid its condition gets
worse constantly.
Building Endowment for Willamette.
Rev. J, H. Coleman, president of the
Willamette University, who recently com
pleted the work of paying off the debt of
that institution, is engaged in raising an
endowment. "I feel very grateful to
Portland," he said, "for what her churches
and citizens have done for old Willamette.
They have come loyally to our support.
Practically all the adverse feeling that ex
isted when the attempt was made to estab
lish an educational Institution In Portland
has ceased to exist, and the sentiment is
all in favor tf one strong university, and
that university Is the Willamette." Mr.
Coleman will continue his field work until
a large endowment for the pioneer Metho
dist school has been secured. He has the
faculty of getting subscriptions where the
outlook is far from encouraging. He goes
on the idea set forth In his speech at the
Men's Social Union banquet at Centenary
Church, "What can't be done must be
done."
Revival Meetings Growing.
The revival meetings being held In the
Second Baptist Church, East Seventh and
Ankeny streets, are growing In Interest,
and the attendance both to the afternoon
ad evening meetings Is Increasing. Georgo
Robert Cairns, the International evan
gelist, conducts all the services. He gives
Bible lectures at 3 o'clock each afternoon,
and the attendance has increased so that
the meetings are now held In the audi
torium. To afford young men a chance to
hear Mr. Cairns he will speak In the
T. M. C. A. room next Tuesday and
Wednesday at noon, and he will also speak
In the Y. M. C. A Sunday afternoon to
the Men's Club.

PUBLIC LIKES TO READ
DRAWS 30,000 MORE BOOKS FROM
LIBRARY THAN LAST-YEAR.
Annual Report of Librarian Shows
Gratifying Increase Both in In
terest and Facilities.
At the annual meeting of the board of
directors of the Portland Library Asso
ciation Wednesday night. Miss Mary
Frances Isom, the librarian, read a most
comprehensive report of the year's work
and what it had accomplished. This Is
the 40th year of the association, and the
directors were much pleased with the
marked progress shown to have been ac
complished during the past 12 months.
Two years ago thl3 was made a free
library, and since the change the work
has broadened and renewed interest is be- j
lng taken In books by the public. j
jnss isom a report snowea tne associa
tion to now have 12.233 members, and that
146,329 books were In circulation. The in
crease this year in books drawn for home
reading was 30,000 over that of last year.
She also showed the attendance in' the
main room alone to be greater than in
the entire library heretofore, all of which
is most encouraging to the directors.
Greater increase in membership and at
tendance is expected the coming year,
and the growing need for expansion in
the various departments especially the
periodical, reference and children's rooms,
was Impressed upon the members of the
board.
Realizing the need of small towns for
good literature, Miss Isom reported her
experiments In establishing deposit sta
tions at several villages In the county,
and of the Immediate and gratifying suc
cess they met. The books are stored on
shelves In merchants' stores or physi
cians' office, as the case may be, and the
residents of the town given access to
them. Bridal "Veil, Gresham and Fair
view were mentioned as having received
these deposits.
The change made In the method of
charging books, Miss Isom said, had
proved most satisfactory, and the In
creased circulation was now handled with
great ease. ;
The reference department, which is a
most important one, has progressed finely
under the able supervision of Miss Rock
wood, but there Is a crying need for more
space. Many of the books rightfully be
longing to this department are necessar
ily stored away in the basement or In
sacond-story rooms on account of the
lack of shelf-room for them In the refer
ence, room. There are many visitors to
this department daily, and it is recom
mended that it be enlarged.
The periodical room was reported as
having a large constituency, and Miss
,Isom said that the list of periodicals and
newspapers for the past and coming
years had been selected with great care,
to suit the diverse Interests of the pa
trons of this room. Miss Bross, In charge
here, keeps bulletin boards posted about
the room, cataloguing the contents of
various magazines, thus saving visitors
much time In searching for desired sub
jects. The children's room, which Is to many
the most Interesting corner of the library,
was reported upon at length by the
librarian, and the great Interest aroused
In the school children of Port
land by the able efforts of Miss
Harriet Hassler, the children's librar
ian, and Miss Millard, her assistant,
was shown to be productive of much per
manent good, both now and In the future.
-The co-operation of this department with
the teachers of the primary grades of the
various schools has brought many new
naroea to the membership roll of this
room, and Miss Hassler's happy faculty
of entertaining and Interesting children
has been productive of both thought and
study on their part. More room and more
books are needed In this department also.
The children's room Is now open from
9 A. M. until 6 P. M.
Miss Hassler also had charge of the set
of books that were sent out to the vari
ous county schools, which will be ex
changed at intervals until each school has
had the Use of each set. By this method
the children of country schools who have
not access to libraries or othere books
than their text books are given the op
portunity to enjoy the best of children's
literature. The books were carefully se
lected and the plan Is meeting with great
success.
The cataloguing of the library's books,
under the supervision of Miss Gooch,
also came In for particular mention, and
the number of books received as dona
tions from individuals, libraries and pub
lishers recounted. Miss Isom also com
plimented her staff very highly, saying
ihat they were Interested and conscien
tious workers and gave entire satis
faction. ISSUES ANHTJAL EDITION.
