settling the boundary line along the
Columbia river between the Btateg of
WaRhinRton and Oregon.
The lant conference which had for
its object the accomplishment of thla
end was held last siting. After con
sfderlng the subject at length then
it was found that to change the
boundary line it would be. necewary
t. have a resolution passed through
congress giving the states such au
thority, aa it had been fixed by a de
cision of the supreme court of the
United States. An appoal was made
to the delegations of the two eta tea
In congress to have such a resolution
passed, and, this having been done,
the officials now are anxious to reach
an agreement with regard to the
boundary line, so that it may be submitted-
to the legislature of the
two states for ratification this winter

The bones of contention with rela
tion to the boundary line is Sand
Inland, which, according to the su
preme court decision, was awarded to
Oregon. This Inland is situated so
close to the Washington aide that it
la feared by the Washington people
that some day it will completely shoal
up, and in which event the state of
Oregon would exercise , ownership
over a portion of the state of Wash
ington. The Washington authorities
desire to avoid this condition of
affairs and . at tha conference to
morrow a proposition will be made to
trade Orogop.for this Island Fuget Montague, a negro suspected or
