Profesror Thompson sayr thiit the changes 

 which have been observed, not only in this 

 direction but in the strength of the earth's 

 magnetism, show that the same causes 

 which originally magnetized the earth are 

 still at work; and, strangely enough, these 

 changes do not occur at long intervals in 

 the course of centuries but are going on from 

 day to day, from week to week and from 

 year to year. Authority. 



AGREEMENT FIXES BOUNDARY. 

 Decision in Case of Washington Line 

 Fence in 1906. 



The Supreme Court decided that where 

 a boundary line between two tracts of land 

 has been fixed by mutual agreement between 

 the owners and remains the recognized 

 dividing line for a period of 20 years, it in 

 fact becomes the actual boundary, notwith- 

 standing a subsequent Government survey 

 finds it is wrongly located. 



The case on which the point was decided 

 was appealed from Columbia County where 

 two neighbor farmers agreed on the boundary 

 line between their land in 1881 and set their 

 fence on that line. In 1903 a Government 

 survey developed the fact that the fence 

 was not on the true line and one of the 

 owners set his fence over on the line fixed 

 by the Government survey. His neighbor 

 brought an action to compel the removal of 

 the fence to its original location and the 

 courts have upheld him. The case was 

 entitled E. L. Lindley, respondent, vs. K. A. 

 Johnston, appellant. 



Note. Oregon Statute limitation is 10 

 years. 



Conclusion. 



I am indebted to many kind friends for 

 suggestions, help and encouragement extended 

 me. My chief endeavor has been to place in 

 compact form information of value to them 

 and to others. JOSEPH BARBOW.
