Reclaim the Tidelands.
There is on Yaquina Bay alx)ut
4,000 acres of tit' elands. This
land is for the most part lying idle,
covered with drift-wood and tide!
grans, subject to the overflow of the
tides, a continual expense with no
income.
Attempts have leen made in
several cases to reclaim this land by
dyking, but all efforts, so far, have
Iteen of doubtful success. Heavy : Part
storms with the naturaly large win
ter tides combined, usually bring
disaster to the dyked land, breaking
the dykes, overflowing the land and
covering it with debris and drift
wood, necessitating extensive repairs
to the dykes and reclearing the
land, with a regularity that is, be
'c inning monotonous to the nwnpro.
Land Fraud Trials Illegal.
The United States Supreme Court
has decided that the conviction of
Ex-Representative . Williamson was
illegal and has granted him a new
trial. Williamson was convicted in
the United States District Court at
Portland for defrauding the (?bvern
ment out of public lands.
THUc Court, in rendering its de
cision, pprings a surprise on the
prosecution by. deciding that an
entryman on public lands may
agree to sell the same, even before
making final proof, and that the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office exceeded his authority in
ruling that an entryman in making
final proof must make affidavit that
he has not "bargained or agreed to
sell or dispose of the land or any
thereof." After expressing
this opinion the Cort says:
"We cannot perceive how, under
the statute, if an applicant has. in
good faith, complied with the re
quirements of the second section of
the 'timber and stone act and, pend
ing publication of notice, has con
tracted to convey, after patent, his
rights to the land, his so doing
