The plaintiffs are the owners of certain tide lands of the second class, in Kitsap county, which form an arm of Puget Sound and are covered and uncovered by the flow and ebb of the tide. The lands are suitable for the cultivation of oysters, and were conveyed by the state to the predecessor in interest of the plaintiffs, under the provisions of the acts relating to the purchase and sale of oyster lands, Laws 1895, pp. 36-39.
