Legal Questions 
Payment of Note 
A owed B a grocery bill of quite a 
sum. A was not able to pay it on account 
of a large family and low wages. B came 
to A one year after and demanded said 
bill. A did not have any money, so B 
insisted on A’s signing a bank note for the 
full amount. A told B, on account of 
other bills which lie must pay. he did not 
think he would be able to pay the note 
when dun. If A fails to meet said note 
when it is due, what can B or the bank 
do about it? j. d. b. 
New York. 
If B discounted the note at the bank 
and it is not paid when due the hank will 
cause the note to be protested and will 
then proceed to sue both A and B on 
the note. If the note was not discounted 
at the bank, B may bring action against 
A on the note the day it is due. No 
doubt if A will pay the interest on the 
note he cau secure an extension of time 
in which to pay the balance. N. T.

Ownership of Flood Trash 
Will you inform me as to the law re¬ 
garding the ownership of flood trash, also 
just what determines a State stream? 
Is it true that a stream that has been 
used to raft logs belongs to the State? 
The stream T refer to is the Cohectou 
River in Steuben County. c. D. c. 
New York. 
The term “flood trash” is so broad that 
it is impossible to give an opinion as to 
who the owner is. If A's logs are car¬ 
ried to the lands of B by flood A can re¬ 
possess his logs by paying B any damage 
that B may have sustained. The word 
"flood trash” being defined as worthless 
matter or waste, we would not think 
there would be much dispute as to the 
ownership. If you have in mind the 
ordinary broken branches and twigs 
which float down and are deposited on 
land of adjoining owner, he can probably 
use them with safety if he can find any 
use for which they are fitted. 
Public waterways or navigable streams 
are determined either by an act of Legis¬ 
lature or liy the stream being a natural 
highway. A stream is a natural high¬ 
way if iu its natural state it is capable 
of transporting logs or rafts. The dis¬ 
tinction between water navigable in law 
and those merely navigable in fact, where 
the tide does not ehli and flow, practically 
only affects questions of title to the soil, 
rights of fishery, and rhp like, and not 
the public right of navigation. A search 
of the statutes may reveal the fact that 
the river you speak of has been made a 
navigable stream by Legislature.
