NEL THE LINE
This Construction Takes Valuable
Property Out of the Jurisdiction of
the State.
South I5i:.vi, Wash., Aug. 9.--F. L
Illce, of this city, and J. B. Nice, of
C.ithiamet, who compose the Washing
ton state boundary commission ap
pointed by Governor Rogers to investi
gate the disputed boundary line between
Oregon mid Washington, have completed
their work from the mouth of the Col
umbia river to Tongue Point. They
find that vast and valuable tracts of tide
lands besides valuable fishing and sein
ing grounds, which are now claimed and
taxed by Oregon, are in Washington ac
cording to the law establishing trie terri
tory of Washington and defining the
boundary line between it and Oregon to
be the center of the main ship channel
of the Columbia river. The initial point
at tho mouthj ofj the Columbia ia two
miles from Fort Stevens and four miles
I from Fort Canby on a line acrosB the
river connecting these two points.
Tho lino follows tbo center of the main
ship channel, which has remained prac
tically the Bamo since the boundary was
first defined, until the confines ot
Wahkiakum county are reached, where
the commission lays claim to consider
able territory now held by Oregon.
The commission has made preliminary
inspection of the boundary line up the
river to a point above The Dalles and
from all their information it would ap
pear that Oregon claims and taxes every
thing in sight, including some islands
which have as high as 100 families living
on them. If the contention of the com
mission proves to bo correct, over 00 per
cent of gilluelting ground and nearly all
of the seining grounds on the Columbia

Triple Tragedy.
Canton, O., Aug. 9. A terrible triple
tragedy occurred threo miles east of this
city last night, resulting in the death of
Edward Eckinger, hid wife and their 3-
yeaV-old daughter. Neighbors today
d'scovered tho dead bodies of tho three
lying upon the bed in (he Eckinger
home. Mrs. Eckinger evidently firet
shot her husband and daughter with
a shotgun, and then tried to commit sui
cide by gashing her wrist with n knife.
The iatter apparently proved too slow or
elee too painful, for tho woman put a
third chareo in the gun and eent it
throuch her body.
Eckinger was twenty-five years of aee,
and a farm laborer until lately. He
has been drinking quite hpavily, and
frequent quarrels took place between
him and his wife. The couple had agreed
to separate, commencini; today. Mrs.
Eckinger wbb twenty-three years of age.
