Opinion

Robinson, J.

This is an action to quiet title to the following described real property, in Grays Harbor county, Washington:

“That portion of the Northwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter (NW % of SE %) of Section 16, Township 18 North, Range 11 W. W. M., described more particularly by metes and bounds as follows:
“Commencing at the Southwest corner of the Northwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of said Section, thence Easterly along the Southerly boundary line of said Quarter to a point 50 feet from Jessie’s slough; thence North on a line parallel with the Westerly boundary line of said Northwest Quarter to the County Road; thence Westerly along the South line of said road to West line of said Northwest Quarter; thence South along said line to place of beginning.”

The location of the southwest corner of the northwest quarter of the southeast quarter of section 16, township 18 north, range 11 west, W.M., which would also be the northwest corner of government lot 3, which lies immediately south of the northwest quarter of.the southeast quarter; is a pivotal point in the decision of the case.

No opinion in this case can be intelligible unless read with reference to a map showing the location of the property involved. The map which follows is prepared from defendant’s exhibit No. 5, on which we have placed additional points and lines essential to a visualization of the problem here presented.
