Investigation May Take Wide Range
As a matter of fact the Investigation. If

and will go into the matter of all insur
ance monies collected by Nichols and
Bchlvely. especially payments made to
them for inspection of insurance companies
under the law which permita the depart
ment to investigate the financial condi
tion of any insurance company at any
lime.
The whole expense of these investiga
tions. Including traveling and other ex-pns-s
of Nichols and Schively or both,
must be paid by the company Investigated.
So report of any such payments are re
quired to be made to the Treasurer nor
are records thereof required to be kept
for public Inspection.
Says Bullock Started Move.
Schively asserts that the suggestion of
a LetTislative Investigation originated with
Mullock, of Spokane, whom he defeated
for Republican nomination for Commis
sioner. He says that if he desires he can
make the Washington agents of some of
the best-known life Insurance companies
the laughing stock of the state, that he
has administered his office honestly and
that he further has saved Immense loss
to insurance patrons by barring from
business in Washington hundreds of
worthless insurance companies.
"Some of there days I shall make public
all the data I have on these matters, and
It will cause a sensation," were hts con
cluding words.
MILLS USING FULL CREWS
Activity In Elms Good Indication
Prosperity Is Here.
ELMA. Wash.. Nov. IS. (Special.) The
food demand for logs on Grays Harbor
has put new life into the logging in
dustry and every camp In Eastern Che
tialls County is running with full crews.
The last big camp to start was that of
the Saginaw Timber Company. The
mills in this vicinity are all running, a
condition that has not existed since the
panic in the Fall of lWJ: at that time
several of. the mills closed down, and
more or less have remained idle until
recently. Business men all feel the Im
petus of good times coming and at hand,
and conditions are fast improving through
here.
Inquiries for land are fast increasing and
several large sales have been recently
concluded. Authentic reports that the
I'nlon Pacific will soon commence work
on an extension of their road down this
valley has created a demand for land
all along the proposed line, many inquiries
being made for holdings adjacent to it.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be
spent in the next few years by the Vnlon
Pacific Railway In this county.
Many good and substantial buildings
have been erected in Klma this year,
adding greatly to the growth of the town.
Una has enjoyed a prosperous year. The
surrounding country has developed, - and
Klma has grown accordingly.
NO SCAB ON OREGON SHEEP
Eleven Inspectors I'nable to Kind
Diseased Animals In State.
PEN"rLETO. Or.. Nov. 1. Special.)
Kor two weeks. U Inspectors under the
direction of Dr. 8. W. MeClure. of the
Kederal Bureau of Animal Industry, have
been searching the flocks of Oregon for
trace of scabies or other sheep diseases,
but so far they have not been successful.
This shows that the campaign of eradi
cation which was inaugurated less than
two years ago was entirely satisfactory,
and both Ir. MeClure. who is the head
of the animal industry in the Northwest,
and State Sheep Inspector Lytic are de
lighted with the showing made.
Thoug! not a single diseased sheep has
been found so far, the work of inspection
will be continued until every band in the
stale has been subjected to an examina
tion. It is now believed, however, that
r.o scabby sheep will be found, though
early In the Summer there were a few
Isolated cases in Lake and Douglas Coun
ties. These were treated as soon as dis
covered. Though Oregon sheep were probably the
worst Infested with scabies of any state
la the, L'alon two years ago. r. MeClure
stated at that time that he would clean
up the sheep of the state within two years
and this inspection seems to Indicate that
ha has kept his promise.
STATE'S INCOME ON LAND
Washington's Treasurer Received
During October $185,443.52.
OLTMP1A. Wash.. Nov. 1. (Special.)
During October the State Land Office
collected and turned over to the Treas
urer ls5.443.33 from fees, sales of state
lands and timber, payments on contracts,
rentals and Interest. During the month
1M applications were received to pur
chase lands and timber In it of the coun
ties, aggregating about 14.600 acres; 1
applications were received for the pur
chase of second-class tidelands. two for
ovster lands. 11 for shore lands, one for
fim-elass Mdelandi and two applications
wars presented for lease of harbor area;
24 applications were made to lease an ag
gregate of S4 acres of state lands lnl5
counties, and 16 present tenants of 4520
acres of state lands In eight counties ap
plied for new leases.'
Before these would-be purchasers can
get the land, state inspectors must per
sonally visit each tract applied for. make
an appraisement of the value, the ap
praisement must be approved by the
State Land Board, notices of sale must
be Issued and published five weeks, and
then the land or timber will be sold to
the highest bidder at public auction at
the county seat of the county wherein the
property ilea. None of the land may be
sold at less than 110 an acre, so It may
be seen these one months' applications
mean that purchasers desire to pay the
state an aggregate of probably $200,000
or more. '..a...
October's receipts Included J18.23Z.I6
from tidelands. J18.049.89 from rentals

NORTH CHANNEL IS LINE
Long Contest Ends In Award of All
Islands at Columbia's Mouth to
Oregon Valuable Fishing
Grounds Are Secured.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 16. Sand Island, with its
surrounding: fishing grounds at the
mouth of the Columbia River lies In
Oregon and the Oregon-Washington
boundary remains in the old north
channel, where it was established when
Oregon was admitted to the Union.
This Is the decision of the United States
Supreme Court, handed down by Jus
tice Brewer today, and affirms the
contention of Oregon, as presented by
Senator Fulton. In his opinion Justice
Brewer says:
"The northern boundary of tho State
of Oregon was established prior to that
of -Washington and It la not within the
power of the National Government to
change that boundary without the
consent of Oregon. The same descrip
tion of the boundary Is found In the
act admitting Oregon and In the con
stitution of Washington, under which
that state was admitted. In that de
scription the middle of the North
Channel was named. There was at that
time two chanrels. and the northerly
one ran north of Sand Island. That the
channel north of Sand Island was the
one intended as the boundary between
Oregon and the territory north of it is
made more clear by that fact.
Government Recognized Line.
"On October 21, 1864. Oregon passed
an act 'granting to the United States
all right and interest of the State of
Oregon in and to the land In front of
Fort Stevens and Point Adams In this
state, and also to Sand Island, situated
in the mouth of the Columbia River in
this state.' This act passed shortly
after the admission of Oregon, indicates
an understanding between Oregon and
the United States that the boundary
was through the channel north of Sand
Island. It is a recognition of Oregon's
title to that Island, and acceptance by
the United States of the grant from
that state. The -courts have no power
to change the boundary as prescribed
In the act admitting Oregon, and es
tablish It at the middle of some other
channel.
"That remains the boundary, al
though some other channel may In
course of time become so far superior
as to be practically the only channel
for vessels going In or out of the river.
The middle of the north ship channel
may vary through process of accretion;
It may narrow, may become more shal
low, and yet the middle of that chan
nel will remain the boundary. When
in a great river like the Columbia there
are two substantial channels, and the
proper authorities have named the cen
ter of one ohannel as the boundary be
tween the states, the boundary thus
prescribed remains the boundary, sub
ject to changes in It which come by ac
cretion, and it is not moved to the
other channel, although the latter in
the course of years becomes the most
Important and is properly called the
main channel. Our conclusion, there
for. Is In favor of Oregon, and the boun
dary remains the center of the north
channel."
OREGON' GETS ALL ISLANDS
Decision Is Great Victory and Gives
Oregon Fishing Ground.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 16. Special.-The
decision of the United State Supreme
Court today in the Washington-Oregon
boundary line case means that Oregon
is owner of practically all the sand
Islands near the mouth of the Columbia
and will hereafter receive thousands of
dollars annually which fishermen have
been paying to the State of Washington
as rental or license fees.
Title to these ilsands has long been a
question of dispute, the doubt arising
over the location of the boundary line.
The boundary line was described by re
ferring to the different channels, but
since the channels frequently changed
the location of the line was lost. By
digging up old maps showing the chan-
Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened bj OYer-Work.
Unhealthy- Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
It . used to be considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
traccu uj uu luuucjia,
but now modern
science proves that
nearly all diseases
have their beginning
in the disorder of
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood
that is their work.
Ti,rfnr when vout kidneys are weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you are sick you can make no mis
take by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold
on its merits by all
and one-dollar size gSta flfal?
bottles. You mayas;SSi!s!s!
have a sample bottle Bom of Swamp-Root
by mail free, also a pamphlet telling you
how to find ont if you have kidney or
bladder trouble. Mention this paper
when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing
hamton, N. Y. Don't make any mistake,
but remember the name, Swamp-Root,
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the ad
dress, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle.
nels as known at the time the boundary
line was established. Attorney -General
Crawford succeeded In establishing the
state's contention. As now located, the
boundary line passes north of Sand
Island and follows close along the Wash
ington side of the river until past the
principal fishing grounds.
After Mr. Crawford had secured his
documentary evidence and presented it
clearly to the court the Washington at
torneys had little left to base their con
tention upon, though tbey fought hard
when the case was argued. The Attorney-General
feels highly pleased over
the result and was the recipient of many
congratulations today.
The decision will go far toward settling
the fishery troubles on the Columbia, for
doubt as to Jurisdiction has been the
chief source of difficulty In enforcing
fishery laws. This decision leaves no
doubt whatever as to the right of this
state to enforce its laws over the greater
part of the lower river.
Another case Is pending in which -this
state asserts the rlht to enforce its
laws from shore to shore under authority
of the act of Congress conferring upon
the two states "concurrent" Jurisdiction.
Mr. Crawford feelfc confident of winning
this case In the United States Court, as
he did in the Oregon Supreme Court,
and if he does, the way will be clear to
enforce needed laws for the protection of
salmon. In any event, Washington will
probably be more willing to join In
effective regulation since this case has
been won by Oregon.
The amount of revenue Oregon will get
from the leasing of fishing grounds is
unknown here, as Washington has been
getting most of the money in the past.

Horses Killed; Driver Escapes.
SHERWOOD, Or., Nov. 16. While Sam
O. Hoguen, a rural mall carrier of this
place, was passing through a strip of
timber on the Malloy farm, four miles
east of here, a large tree some Japanese
were felling on the right of way of the
Oregon Electric Railroad suddenly fell
without warning across the road, killing

HAZELTINE GIVEN PUCE
SUCCEEDS COSGROVTS AS UNI
VERSITY REGENT.
First Result of Pomeroy Conference.
Editor Had but Recently Criti
cised Governor Mead
OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. 16. (Special.)
Governor-elect S. G. Cosgrove has ten
dered his resignation as a regent of the
University of "Washington, and Governor
Mead announces that he has appointed F.
A. Hazel tine, of South Bend, as Mr. Cos
grove's successor on that board, and that
the appointment is made in . deference
to the expressed wishes of Mr. Cos
grove. This Is the first result made public of
the Mead-Cosgrove conference held at
Pomeroy just prior to the departure of
the Governor-elect for California.
Hazeltine Is editor of the South Bend
Journal and in the last issue of that
paper, November 13, Hazeltine said edi
torially: Governor Mead made many friends by
defeat in the primaries and booited for
Coagrove, but he la login them and many
more older .ones by hi course In consult
ing with constitutional" lawyers as to his
chances to hold over and continue as Gov
ernor in the event that Coagrove's health
should be so poor that he could not qualify,
or In the event of his death before he couit!
qualify. The reports about Cosgrove's
health were originally sprung for campaign
purposes to get votes for Pattison. and
they have been authoritatively denied by
Cosgrove's physicians, but even if they were
true. Mead might show better taste and
suppress his eagerness to bold office for a
time, at least.
One great factor in the high prices of
provisions in New York City Is the neces
sity of supporting an Increasing army of
