Solem, Or., April 19. It is doubtful If
tlie state has any title to the made tends
resulting from the fill, being made by
the. Port of Portland adjacent to the
property of the Eastern Western Lum
ber company Jn the Willamette river at
Portland, and nothing short of a d,ecl
alon of-the' highest court can determine
the question, according- to an opinion of
Attorney 'General Crawford submitted to
the state land board today.
At the direction of the state land
hoard theAttornev reneral made an In
vestigation of the facts and theVJaw in
this case and .submitted his report to
the board. He made no recommendations,
saying fee would take no further steps
until directed by the board.
The attorney general reports that-he
found the Eastern & Western Lumber'
company owns the abutting shore lands
where ; the fill Is being made; that It
' uas built a dike at about the low Water
mark, thus taking in about a block of
submerged land which belonged to the
Mtate originally, it Is on this sub
merged block that the Port of Portland
; is making the fill
As to the law bearing on the case the
attorney general reports that in 1862
the legislature passed an act authorising
the river beyond the high water mark
in order to get to the navigable water,
and many have done this, but In this
vase no dock or wharf has been built.
In 1873 the legislature passed an act
providing for the sale of - tide lands,
and in 1874 this was amended so as to
declare that in the Willamette river
there were no tide lands. This amended
act, however, provided that' overflowed
lands in the Willamette river should be
given to the abutting property owners.
. In the face of these grants and the
fact that the state has not asserted Its
title to these submerged lands, the at
torney general states that Jt will take
a decision or me mgnest court 10 deter
mine whether the state can now assert
its rights. ' .'. .' '. .

MUST KEEP DOWN COST
(Salrm Bureau of The Journal.)
Salem, Or., April 19. As the law cre
ating the state text book commission
was enacted for the purpose of making
school courses uniform throughout the
state and reducing the cost of books
to a minimum, the attorney general
today rendered an opinion that the state
text book commission had no authority
to, adopt two or three books in the same
branch of study, In order to give teach
ers a selection, or to designate books
for supplementary reading.
This opinion was given to William L.
Brewster, of Portland, a member of the
state text book commission, which in

that school boards, except those In dis
