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This license has never been revoked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.

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
