Contention Between Oystermen Operating In Yaqulna Bay . About Their Privileges. SALEM, Or.. Aug". 6 (Special.) Protec tion and fostering the oyster industry of the state was the absorbing subject before the State Board of Fish. Commissioners this afternoon, which developed a mild case of jealously and discord between the Oystermen'a Association of Taquina Bay and the promoters of the Eastern and Japanese oyster industry of that harbor. The object is to adopt a set of rules to regulate-the industry in all oyster-producing harbors in the state and to Master Fish Warden Van Dusen is delegated the task of bringing the conflicting Interests together and to formulate a general code of regulations satisfactory to - all con cerned. . The Oystermen's Association, which is striving to perpetuate the Industry on Taquina Bay, seek to require the em ployes of the "capitalists," M. M. Davis, of Newport and John D. Wilcox, of Port land, who are promoting the Eastern ovster industry and experimenting with the propagation of Japanese oysters on private and natural beds on Yaqulna Bay, to replant all of the shells of native oysters taken from the natural beds for spawning purposes. On the other hand, ' the 'owners of private beds demand the same recognition and privileges for their men as are granted the native oyster fishermen. Both interests are striving to perpetuate the industry and no trouble is anticipated in bringing them together. George King and Albert Bailey, of the Oystermen's Association, and veteran fishermen on the bay, brought along a collection of oysters and shells which were infested with barnacles and demonstrated to the Board that this great salt-water cannibal Is encroaching upon the oysters in the fresh-water spawning grounds and threatens dire results to the industry. They fasten upon the shells, deposited for spawning purposes and devour the oyster spot as fast as they adhere to the sur face. Mr. King also brought a specimen of the shell fish known as the "drill," which he says is becoming quite numerous In the bay and threatens to damage the native oyster Industry greatly. These "drills," which are of the snail family, attack a full-grown oyster, drill a hole through the shell and suck the oyster out. CORVAIXIS GETS NOTED MAN James Dryden Comes to Take Chair of Poultry Husbandry. CORVALLIS. Or., Aug. 6. (Special.) James Dryden. who is to be Professor of Poultry Husbandry at the college, has ar rived with his family, and has entered upon his duties.

This lecture is for use, along with similar lectures by other experts on other agricultural topics in farmers institutes In the various states of the Union. . . Though offered flattering inducements to remain In Utah, and a much better salary to go into a leading Eastern institution. Professor Dryden came to the Oregon Agricultural College because he thinks there is an extraordinary field in his line in this state. He was born and reared in Canada. CRAZY MAN RAISES HAVOC .

TO MAKE BUT FEW STOPS Train May Also Have Passenger Equipment, but It Is Designed, to .- Relieve Congestion of Ex press and Baggage. . SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6. (Special.) General Manager E. E. Calvin issued or ders today to put express train service on all lines out of San Francisco and within a week this will be installed to Portland, to El Paso and to Los Angeles. There is a train already In operation be tween here and Ogden that has brought such good results that the general man ager has decided that the service be ex tended. ,, At present It has been decided to have only one train each, way a day. They will not stop at every small station along the line; only at all Important ''points. They will perhaps carry a limited amount of mall, but this has not been fully agreed upon. They also will relieve some of the passenger trains of baggage, as many of the overland trains have to carry extra cars for baggage and mail, which makes it difficult for them to maintain schedules. The Portland passenger business Is en gaging the attention of both the operat ing and passenger traffic officials of the company. There are at present three dally trains to' Portland, but they cannot handle the traffic. Consideration Is now being given to putting on a fourth train. When this will be done has not as yet been decided. bu it will be within a few days. General Manager O'Brien -confirmed the news contained In the above dis patch last night, wJiich'was forecasted In Tho Oregonian a week ago: v "An express'traln service for the"ae commodatlon of express and baggage alone to care for the heavy business now offering between Portland and San Francisco is planned," said he. "We have had several conferences on this subject, but I cannot tell yet Just when the new service will be started nor give the schedule. "It is possible that this train may also take some passenger equipment In order to relieve the regular overland trains, which are very heavy. As to this I cannot say yet. "Very heavy traffic, particularly from California north, now delays our overland trains to a considerable ex tent, and this delays their arrival here. We do not have much trouble on this end, but the delays are experienced In California. Probably the new train will make stops at the most import ant stations only and will make fast time." . BOYS AFRAID OF BAD MAN BEDDOE BROTHERS COMPLAIN AGAINST NEIGHBORS. Say They Use Shocking Language) Steal Water and Refuse Friendly Overtures With Shotgun. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Aug. 6. (Special.)

The story told by the Beddoes dis closes a strange condition of affairs Buch as Is only possible In a country far removed from city life and influ ences. Miller Is said to be a "bad" man, and the woman, who used to be a fortune-teller by trade, appears to be equally bad. The Beddoe boys told the Sheriff that whenever they come within range of a shotgun either Mrs. Conney or Miller point a gun at them and force them to run awxay. The couple also use the most shock ing language. It Is said, and one of the boys says that If something Is not done to prevent this abuse and inter ference with him and his brother he proposes to kill both Miller and the fortune-teller. The trouble arose through Miller diverting water from the Beddoes' private ditch. The Prosecuting Attorney is looking Into the matter and will take somo action. Miller has done little, it is said, but make trouble ever since he look up land In this section. EXTRAVAGANCE IS INVITED Tacoma ' Assesor Has Theory About Full Valuation. TACOMA," Wash., Aug. 6. (Special!) "I would not assess property at its full valuation for the reason," said County As sessor Railsback today, "that if all property was assessed at Its full valua tion -it- would increase the total value 40 per cent because property is now as sessed at 60 per cent. Therefore; it would. or at least should, decrease the levy 40 per cent. Now, when the levy Is decreased 40 per cent,no district would be up to the limit. "When you get under the limit In this growing country, everybody wants more money, and it would not .be very long until the levy would be back to the limit, therefore, it would Invite ex travagance." .....
