WA. 1H75 and 1 !).; while the Wanbingtonians handed in one map of 1005, This wa preparatory to the taking of the verbal testimony of a number of wltnee, and formed the predicate of the rejiectiva claim. The contention on the part of tba State of Washington I practically baed upon the fact that the old original north channel, which for long year served a the constitutional bi of territory a between the atates, bat shifted to the southward and now meander along the immediate harbor front of the City of Atoria. The Oregon contention is that the channel upon which the original boundary wa predicated, still exists and la still the fundamental Una of demarca tion; and tbi i. of course, the old north channel that flow on the WaMiington side of Sand Island. The firt wltne called for the State of Oregon wa the atate engineer, Mr, Lewi, who gave official testimony to tbe tine claimed and maintained by the State of Oregon. Ho waa followed by Captain P. II. Kin dred, who has been familiar with these particular waters since 144, and be averted that the best channel ha always been, and I yet, north of Sand Iiland. Captain P. E. Ferchen, speaking from an Intimate experience of 42 years in the navigable waters of this vicinity, as pilot and mater, aid that there is, and has always been, two channels, a north. and a south, and that there was no middle channel in the river until about off Tongue Point. That ve-sela entered In the north channel, and then cut aeroe to Tansey Point on their way to As toria; and had to pa cloe to Astoria en route to Portland, During the afternoon sesion 'Captain M. S. Staples, of the Columbia bar pilot service since ltfil". took the stand and among other things, stated that he had used the north channel, at that time, from Cape Disappointment to Point El li. and thence up. along the Washington shore, to Portland. He used to tow shins over what is now Sand Island. (At this Juncture. Mr. Crawford, wife of the Oregon attorney-general, present ed to the Owgon commissioners a white carnation apiece, and to the Evergreen representatives a red carnation each, as a compliment to all, with the spice, and tone, of differentiation). Captain Staples made it plain that if Astoria, as a port of entry, had been on the Washington shore, ships would not have come through the south channel at all. Captain A. C. Fiher was on the stand during the afternoon, and his testimony, in part, was to the effect, that there was a middle channel which started near the Desdfltnonn Sands and north there of; and ran east to Tongue Point. That the north channel was the bettor channel up to and opposite Knnppton; that be tween Knappton and Harrington Point there was shoal to 14 feet at low water. t , Captain Peter Jordan testified that the old north channel ran, and still runs, from Cape Disappointment to . Three Tnee Point, along the Washington shore. Captain John Pickernell who has boated here for 60 years out of the 67 he has lived, bore witness to the fact that the north channel passes by Knapp ton, and Harrington Point, U Three Tree Point, on the Washington side of the river; that in times, past therd was plenty of water there, though it had how shoaled in places. At this point the commission' adjourn ed until 11 o'clock this morning, when another group of witnesses will , be examined.
