  • .-■■-. 103 FEDERAL REPORTER. BELDING et al. v. HEBARD. (Circuit Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit July 13, 1900.) No. 783. L State Boundaries—Line between North Carolina and ' It was the evident intention of the North Carolina cession act of 1789, by which Tennessee was ceded to the United States, to make the crest of the great mountain ranges extending across the state in a southwesterly direction the boundary of the ceded territory, and such Intention must be given effect in determining the boundary from the cession act and the acts confirming its survey and location in 1821 by the joint commission, which was authorized to settle, run, and re-mark the line "agreeably to the true intent and meaning" of the act of cession. 1 Same—Construction op Boundary Acts. , The cession act calls for certain well-known natural objects In the boundary, among which Is the "Great Iron or Smoky Mountain"; the next call being, "thence along the main ridge of said mountain to the place where it Is called 'Unicoy' or 'Unaka' Mountain." The Tennessee river crosses the boundary between said two mountains, and the confirmatory acts, after locating the line to Bald-Rock on the summit of the Great Smoky Mountain, "and continuing southwestwardly on the extreme height thereof" to the river, contain the following call: "From Tennessee river to the main ridge, and along the extreme height of the same, to the place where it is called 'Unicoy' or 'Unaka' Mountain." Immediately across the river from the point where the line strikes it is the end of Hangover ridge, which extends southwestwardly, and constitutes the "main ridge," leading from the river to the Unaka Mountain. Along such ridge, within eight miles from the river, are found two or three trees marked as state-line trees in the same manner as those in other parts of the boundary. Another line, designated by trees marked in the same manner, is found extending from the mouth of Slick Rock creek, which empties into the river half a mile to the westward, extending up said creek in a southwesterly direction some seven miles, thence westwardly along a spur to Fodder Stack ridge, thence south along said ridge until it intersects Hangover about eight miles from the river. On this line are 41 trees, the most of them along or near the creek; and all the line trees on both lines appear to have been marked in 1821. The average height of Fodder Stack ridge is some 800 feet less than that of Hangover. Neither the report of the commission nor the field notes of the surveyor are in existence. Held, that the evidence affordea by the marked trees along the westerly of the two lines was not sufficient to overcome the presumption in favor of the other line along Hangover, arising from the fact that it answered the two principal calls of the boundary acts,—that for a southwestwardly course, and that for the "extreme height" of the "main ridge." 8. Same—Controlling Effect of Calls for Natural Objects. The call in the confirmatory boundary acts, "From Tennessee river to the main ridge, and along the extreme height of the same," in the absence of further description, requires a straight line from the known monument on the north side of the river to the top of the main ridge, and cannot be answered by a line running up the valley of a creek to the west of such, ridge for several miles. 4. Same. It is a universal rule that permanent natural objects called for in a boundary will control those which are less certain. 5 Same—Recognition and Acquiescence. It having been found as a fact from sufficient evidence furnished by the confirmatory acts of the two states, based on the report of the joint commission, and by the natural objects therein designated, that the state boundary was actually run and established along Hangover ridge, that boundary could not be changed by the action of the state authorities in
