An Important decision that If sustained by the higher court will have a direct bearing on the ownership of tide Isl ands not alone In the Columbia River, but la the waters of every other stream In the state, was handed down by Judge Eaktn. of the Circuit Court, to day. The decision was In favor of the plaintiffs In the rose of the Van IVusen Investment Company. Keba Hobson. Edwin Hobson and Bertha Ualderman vs. the Western Fishing Company, I. IL Welch and Nancy L Welch. The action was brought to determine the title to the sands lying directly opposite the city and which were used last year for the first time as a seining ground. The plaintiffs based their claim to the sands on two deeds from the state, one dated February 17, lt;, the other dated July 24. 1S89. and oon veylng a tide Island located In the Co lumbia RJver. directly north of tjhlvely'a, Astoria. Their contention was that these sands are the same as the ones now In existence, although they have sblfted their position further down stream. The defendants' claim was baaed on a deed given by the state to W. E. Warren on August 12. 18S. to a tide Island alleged to be located be low the property deeded to the plain tiffs and also on a deed given by the state to Lena F. Welch on Autrust 30. 1902. conveying title to a tide Island described by metes and bounds and lo cated close to the present site of the lower end of the sands In question. In substance, the court said: -in the face of recent decisions of the I'nlted States Supreme Court, par ticularly In relation to Sand Island, a tide Island is susceptible of ownership, when It maintains its Identity, although It may change Its location. In this case the original sands deeded to the plaintiff may have disappeared, but ac cording to the testimony, before doing so accretions to them were formed on the lower end and they have thus main tained their Identity even to their pres ent location. If the Island In question had entirely disappeared for any length of time, that Is. had It been coverea at all stages of the tide, the original ownership might have been lost, but that does not appear to have been the case In this Instance" BALDWIf BESTED BY FRED WELSH Pugilist From Wales Outgerv erals Boston Fighter in 20 Round Fight.
