BOUNDARIES.

1. Water; when river ceases to be boundary.
Neither continuity of water nor identity of name will make a river a
boundary river except where it flows between the States it sepa-
rates for a part of its course; it ceases to be a boundary river
wherever it is wholly within one State. Leech v. Louisiana, 175.

2. Water-Channel of river as; effect of diminution in volume of water.
Although the volume of water and depth of a channel have constantly
diminished, if it all results from process of accretion, or, as in
this case, possibly from jetties constructed by governmental
authority, that channel still remains the boundary line, the pre-
cise line of separation being the varying center thereof. Washing-
ton v. Oregon, 205.

3. Commissions and agreements to adjust.

The settlement of boundaries is generally attended with difficulties
and it is wise for adjacent States to adjust their boundaries by
boundary commissions and agreements as has been done with the
consent of Congress in several instances. Ib.
