In reviewing articles today I rediscovered an article that I didn't fully understand until now. In June of 1907 there was a small item about a woman on Terminal Island sowing new made land with barley. The government engineers dredging and filling that area pulled down the fences and dumped silt on top of the newly sown ground.
It wasn't until today that I noticed that the woman was our friend Mrs Louis Mary Hamilton who was apparently strengthening her legal case by claiming it as agricultural ground.
