Morning Oregonian September 10, 1904
Operator Of Seinging Ground Had A Washington License
Astoria,Or.,Sept.9-(Special)-The cas eof Alexander Grant,arrested on the 
charge of operating a seining ground without having a license from the State 
of Oregon,was tried before a jury in the Justice Court this afternoon and a 
verdict of not guilty returned.
Grant had secured a license from Washington,and his defence was that owing ot 
he controversy between the two states as to the exact boundary line it was 
impossible to tell whether or not the sands were in Oregon.At that particular 
section of the river at the Washington Board says the line is the Cordell 
Channel,while the Oregon Board asserts that it is the old North Channel.The 
grounds which Grant was operating lie between the two channels.
