It is now stated that God
ihaux Bros, have ofTered their
creditors 10 cents on the dollar
for their various accounts. The
offer has been rejected for the
present. The houses of Samuel
Leszynsky & Co. and Kennedy &
Durr was sold by the sherff Tues
day afternoon. The stock, etc.,
was purchased presumably by
creditors. Nothing has been done
regarding S. Mosgrove & Co.,
whose store is still closed. They
are still endeavoring to secure a
settlement.
Early on Friday morning last
a collision took place about six
miles off Cape Flattery between
the ship Mercury, bound for
Nanaimo, and the barkentine
North Bend bound forPuijet sound.
The Mercury was towed to Nanai
nio where she will receive necessary
repairs. She hails from New York
and was on her way up from San
Francisco at the time of the collis
ion. The North Bend proceeded
to Puget Sound and it has not yet
been ascertained if she sustained
any damage.
The
Oregon
and
California
Stacre
south
company's stage from the
met with an accident in
slouch fifteen miles
south of Canyonville on -the 25th,
in which they got six horses drown
ed. The locked mail and express

Supreme Court.
In the Supreme court proceedings of
the 24th, we find as follews:
W. W. Parker and J anies W. "Welch,
executors of James Welch, deceased,
ct al, respondents, vs. J as. Taylor ec
al, appellants; appeal from Clatsop
county. This suit was commenced in
the life time of said James Welch, in
his name, and upon his death the
present xdaintiffs were substituted.
Plaintiffs, except Parker, are the
owners in fee simple as tena.its in
common of lot 1 in block 135, and
lots 5 and G in block 134, and all the
tide land in front thereof, all in the
town of Astoria.
The lots in question were conveyed
to James Welclf by J. M. Shively and
wife, the same being a part of their
donation claim in 18G0, and the tide
land was purchased by James Welch
from the state of Oregon. The de
fendant, James Taylor, claims a strip
of land in front of these lots entirely
covered by the waters of the Colum
bia river and wholly below ordinary
low water mark, by purchase from J.
M. Shively long after said lots were
sold and conveTed to James Welch.
Upon this strip of land Taylor erected
a wharf by driving piles, etc.
The plaintiffs brought this suit to
enjoin defendant, Taylor, from erect-
a j-4 a m w -w .r 4- v n - coin W ll ) T. IT!
incr arm maintaining saia wnari in
front of said premises. Defendant's
demurrer to the complaint was over
ruled. Defendant then filed his an
swer. A replication was also filed and
the testimony was taken and the cause
was tried, resulting in a decree for the
plaintiff, from which decree this ap
peal is taken.
Syllabus. A defendant who de
murs to a complaint, and his demurrer
being overruled, answers, waives all
the grounds of his demurrer, unless it
be to jurisdiction of the court, or that
the complaint does not state facts suffi
cient to constitute a cause of suit. A
natent to lands bordering on the Co
lumbia river where the tide ebbs and
flows, extends only to ordinary high
water.
The lands lying between high and
low water, over which the tide
ebbs and flows, belong to the state.
The owner of land lying on a navigable
river and within an incorporated town,
has the exclusive right to purchase the
tide-land in front of his land, and
build wharves extending beyond low
water to where ships can come and
ride in safety.
The corporate authorites within
which such wharves are constructed
have the power to regulate the man
ner of constructing and using the
same. A person purchasing land from
the state oyer which a legal highway
,.!. L'WLIU...Tg
is located or established, takes the
land subject to the right of passage by
the public land.
Land covered with shoal water may,
under proper regulations by the state
and municipal authorities, be reclaim
ed from the sea by filling in, or by
driving piles and building on them,
and become private property and the
subject of sale the same as other
property. The decree of the court
below is affirmed. Opinion of Boise, J.
