Peck, receiver of the La- Fratice property in this section, has sold back to Chas Reichert the mill and timber land which the latter sold to LaFrance, near Bandon. In addition to the mill and tract of timber, Reichert gave LaFrance an option on an adjoining 120 acres of timber on a stumpage basis. La France to pay $3 per thousand. La France had started his crew cutting on Reichert’s tract and had fallen about 500,000 feet of logs when the denouement came Labor liens amounting to $900 were filed on these logs and in order to get his money back and at the same time save the logs from waste, Mr. Reichert had to buy the mill — - » ■ ----- -------- Riparian Owners H ave Sole Rights on Tide Lands The Oregon Supreme Court has handed down a decision in the case ol Pacific Milling & Elevator Co. vs. the City of Portland which is of special interest on this river, as it confirms the right of tipariau own ers to the tide lands in front of their property. The City ol Portland at tempted to build a dock iu front ot the property of the P. M. & E. Co., on the theory that the water below the ordinary high water mark on the river belonged to the state. An injunction suit resulted, and the state intervened on the theory that these lauds belong to the people The supreme court sustained the decision that that the title to the submerged land rests in the upland owners: “ The Act of 1862 grants the right ot wharfage across the state’s land out to the harbor line fixed by state authority to the riparian owner. This license has never been revoked by the state, but has been reaffirm ed by lawmakers and upheld by the courts. “ The Legislature, considering that the lands adjacent to the Wil lamette, Coquille, Coos and Ump qua Rivers, were subject to erosion and inundation, deemed it wise and just to recognize rights in riparian owners on such streams, and grant and confirm to them all the title of the state to any tide and overflowed lauds upon said rivers. This, no doubt, among other reasons, in order that the owners of the land adjacent to such rivers might be encouraged and protected in build ing structures thereon, and riprap ping and conserving the banks of the river (or the purpose of saving their lands from loss or destruction. The acts of 1874 and 1876 were valid exercises of the legislative will, and granted and confirmed the title of the state to the tide and overflow laud upon said rivers to the upland owners. “ To allow this property to be taken for public use without just compensation would work a great : ujustice, and do violence to the constitution of the state of Oregon. The restrictions upon the state con veying land subjacent to the waters of navigable streams should, we think, generally speaking, apply to lands under navigable waters, or below ordinary low water mark, or the bed proper of a river as dis tinguished from its bank or shore, as in the Chicago waterfront case.” Only Elevated Rail Road on the Coast The only stretch of elevated rail road west of Chicago is being built in California, at the Oakland termi nal of the Southern Pacific com pany. It is to accomodate the numerous suburban electric trains that pass at that point with passen gers between the east bay cities and San Francisco, These changes are made to pre vent congestion, for the traffic out of the Oakland terminal is very heavy. Street cars and teams will cross under the overhead tracks in going to and Irom the Oakland municipal wharves on the western front, steel viaducts having been erected to allow ample clearance over tracks and streets *• Blow U p Sea Lions The editor was dying, but when the doctor placed his ear to the patient’s heart and muttered sadly: “ Poor lellow, circulation almost gone!” He raised himself and gasped: ” ’Tis false! W’e have the largest circulation in the county.” Then he sank back upon his pillow with a triumphant smile upon his features. He was consistent to the end— lying about his subscription. State Fish Warden Clanton has declared war on sea lions, and will try blowing them up with bombs along the beach at Tillamook Bay. He says that the lions are a menace to the coast fisheries, as they de stroy great numbers of salmon, kill ing them apparently just for sport. He holds that no greater foe to the salmon can be found than the sea lion. The plan of warfare is to put j powder in glass Iruit jars and bury them in the sand along the beach where the lions are accustomed to come out ol the water and lie iu the sun The jars will tie connected by wires with a battery, and when the animals gather on the spot the powder will be exploded. «•«-- For killing flies: On a flat saucer mix ninety parts of water to ten parts of formaldehyde and two parts of sugar.

DECISION APPLYING TO COOS RANDOLPH MILL BURNED The Ruling Passion -— - 1, Los* of $ 7 5 ,0 0 0 , Partially Covered by Insurance-Lumber and Cottages Saved-P lant to be Rebuilt About 1 o’clock last Wednesday morning fire was discovered iu the fire-room of the Randolph mill, near Bandon, and the flames spread rapidly until the entire mill and its comeuls were destroyed. The lum ber on the wharf was saved and the residence buildings occupied by the tnillmen escaped burning but the mill was entirely wiped out. The loss will reach $75,000 and the insurance carried totalled about $40,000 but this amount covered lumber and wharl not burned so the entire amount carried will not be paid. Several hundred thousand feet ol lumber was piled on the wbarl ready lor shipment but this was saved through the efforts of the crew of the steamer Grace Dollat which was to take the lumber out and by the tug Klihyam. Many people Irom Bandon hasten ed to the scene in automobiles and the Life Saving Crew, at the first news of the fire, hurried thither in their power boat and rendered valu able assistance. The Randolph Mill was built in 1901 by Carmen & (Crites and was one of the best producers on the Co quille river, its capacity being 80,- 000 per day. Sixty men were em ployed in and about the mill. Dur ing the past year many improve ments had been made 00 the mill. The plant had been practically re built New machinery had been installed and the plant had only re cently been put in first class condi tion and so equipped the output was greatly increased. The steamer Grace Dollar was built especially to run into the Coquille river and carry the output from the Randolph mill. The loss is a severe blow to the company and the community, but it is understood that the plant will be rebuilt NO MORE LIQUOR ON DRV GROUND Full T ext of New and Stringent Law Intended to Stop Shipments into Prohibition Territory Following is the text ot the new law governing the shipment of liquor in dry territory, Chapter 250, Laws of 1913. given in full lor the inlormation of our readers: Section 1.
