WILLAPA RESERVE.
Plat Not Filed in County, So Citi
zens Claim It Is
Illegal.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. July 2S. (Special.)
Before the State Oyster Land Com
mission today Pacific County attorney's
put forward the contention that the
Long' Island oyster reserve in Willapa
harbor, embracing 7044 acres of valu
able natural oyster-beds, had never
been legally established, and that ap
plicants to purchase claims within the
reserve obtained vested right upon the
filing of their applications. The con
tention 'Is also based on the recent de
cision -of the Supreme Court that the
law creating oyster county boards and
reserving from sale natural oyster-beds
is repealed by the law of 1S03. creat
ing the State Commission.
The idea that the Long Island re
serve would be sold by the state hns
spread rapidly in Pacific County In the
last few days, and applications for over
3000 acres of the reserve have been
rushed into the State Land Office. Tho
lands are said to be actually worth
from $50 to 2500 per acre, but If o!d
under the contention of the applicants,
will bring the state only J 1.25 per acra.
The Long Island reserve has been
platted and its location designated br
monuments on the ground. The plats
have been prepared and signed, but
have not heen filed In the office of th
Auditor of Pacific County, as required
by the law. It Is on account of tho fail
ure to file that the applicants contend
the reserve is not legally In existence.
The attorneys for the applicants and
the Attorney-General, representing the
state, will submit briefs to the Com
mission. WIFE TOLD OF HIS CRIME
