STATE SEEKS TO After C2 years alleged violation of Its agreement with tbe state of Oregon tho United Stales govern nient will at last lose control of and profits from Sand Island in the mouth of tho Columbia river. If plans of tho state land board are carried lo success. In 13G4 Sand Island was ceded to tbe government by tbe state tc be used for military Du r noses and this was a condition of the transfer of the Island to the ror- ernment. But the government never has used the island for mill tary purposes, but instead has leased It as a fishing ground, for which It in very valuable. Now the state land Jmard has a plan for recovering possession of the Island. At a meeting a week from tomorrow the board will assume 1 DRIVE BEGAN FOR SALVATION ARMY BUDGET that the state owns the island and will lease it to some corporation for fishing purposes. If the gov ernment contests tho state's right tho corporation to which it is leased, according to an offer and agreement now made, will defond tbe state's position in court. Revenues from the island from fishing leases should run about $20,000 for the remainder of this year It Is said, and ordinarily will run as high as sio.000. There is a possibility that the state may endeavor to collect for the whole 02 years, which, if successful, would bring a very large sum into the state's coffers. E Chicago, May 19. (A. P.)
