Boundary Dispute Over Chehalis and Jefferson Counties
Chehalis county prosecutor E E Bonner and Jefferson county prosecutor A D Gungey met in Olympia to pursue a friendly suit to fix the boundary line between the counties. The dispute centers on a strip along the border and hinges on the 1869 Queets river mouth as the starting point. The matter was referred to the attorney general to decide if legislative action could settle it, though the assistant attorney general argues it should be adjudicated in court.
