THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, MONDAY, MARCH 26, 1900. EASTERN OYSTERS Experiment atYaquina Bay Has Not Been a Failure. POND CULTURE WOULD SUCCEED Native Bivalve Threatened "With Extinction. Because of Excessive Tongrlns by Oystermen. Professor F. L. "Washburn, State Biol oclst. reviews the present condition of the Eastern ouster experiment and the ndilvei nnstor Industry at aaauina isay. in a report to Governor Geer. The report Includes several tables on density and -water temperature taken in the month oi August, which have been sent to Wash ington, not heretofore published here. Professor "Washburn emphasizes a few points which he regards as important. These are: "I have been very careful in this work to state to the public as facts only what we have actually found to be true, and have been extremely conserva tive in statements which might lead our citizens to expect immediate results. "Wo know that the introduced oyster flour ishes, grows with extreme rapidity and soon becomes an excellent marketable product. "We know they spawn here. "We have found a few young oysters undoubt edly hatched in Yaquina Bay." Eastern oyster cultivation is possible in some of the Oregon bays and impossible in others. All depends upon tho density and temperature of the water. At Nctart's Bay, the water 13 of ocean saltness and unfavorable for Eastern oyster embryos. Tests showed a surface density varying from 1.023 at extreme low tide to 1.024 at three-quarters ebb. The water was so shallow that only the surface density was obtained. Tho temperature averaged be tween 13 and 15 degrees, Centigrade. At Tillamook Bay the water Is too salty and cold In the middle of the bay. In the upper bay, winter freshets and accom panying mud would undoubtedly prove f atal. Surface density was lowest, 1.002 2-3, at Hoquarton Slough, and highest, 1.023, at Hobsonville. Temperature varied from 10 degrees. Centigrade, at Garibaldi and Hobsonville, to 17 degrees at Hoquarton Slough. At Alsea Bay, the conditions as to cold ness and saltness of water are the same as at Tillamook. The lowest surface den sity was 1.019 at Titus Slough, aqd the highest 1.0245 at "Waldport Slough. Bot tom density varied from 1.022 at 4 feet to 1.0245 at 14 feet. The hjghest surface temperature was 1S4 degrees, and the lowest 13; the highest bottom temperature was 18 and the lowest 13. On Coos Bay there is an ideal bottom for oysters off Glasgow, and an abundance of food everywhere. The water Is too cold and salty for Eastern spawn except in the extreme upper part of the bay, near Marshfleld, where favorable conditions prevailed during a visit by Professor "Washburn in the Summer, but where an excess of fresh water in the "Winter, ac companied with mud, would be fatal to old and young Eastern oysters. A possible danger from sewage in this vicinity must not be overlooked. Good bottom was found in the north channel of Coos Blver, in the vicinity of "Willanch Slough. From North Bend up, Professor Washburn found large numbers of dead shells of the native oyster, such as are found at Taquina Bay and Willapa Harbor. The Government dredge disclosed tons of these dead shells, corroborating the prevailing impression that this oyster flourished in the bay in great quantities until killed by a sudden and unusual deposit of mud, or possibly of ashes from the great fires of years ago. Before leaving Coos Bay, Professor Washburn urged upon the peo ple the desirability of Importing a quantity of these oysters from Yaquina Bay or Willapa Harbor, and stocking Coos Bay. Feeling sure that such an Investment would result profitably, he now renews the suggestion. Surface density varies from L015 at Isthmus Slough and Marshfleld and vicinity to 1.023 3-5 at Empire City. Bot tom density was lowest. 1.015. at Marsh fleld and Isthmus Slough, and highest, 1.024. at the life-saving station. Surfaco temperature was lowest. 13 1-3 degrees, at South Slough, and highest. 20 degrees, at Isthmus Slough. Bottom temperature varied from 14 degrees at the life-saving station to 20 degrees at Marshfleld. Accompanying the report is a complete list of water temperatures at Yaquina Bay, made by George King, of Ovster City, under Professor Washburn's direc tion, and extending from January 1. 1897 to August 3. 1R97. Highest and lowest tem peratures. Fahrenheit, at surface and bottom follow: Surface, j Bottom. F re o re? MONTH. January , February March ... April .....

The density of ocean water is L023. The water tem perature during the spawning season in 1S9 was, as a rule, favorable. Sudden JS?8, n Uly 14 and 16 were "Qt so favorable. On July 14 the surface tem perature ax Oyster City fell from 70 de grees at low tide to 57 degrees at high Sim nthe36th' the tcPerature dropped 2wi t!aTes at low t,de to 69 desrecs Experiments Not a Failure. Professor Washburn says of the experl m.?St8MTrhIch h0 has bn conducting with?, ??Inl(Ln aPPears to have decided, with questionable propriety, that, as far as successful propagation is concerned. S!

"I have no hesitation in saying that, even should we be unsuccessful in propal gating the Introduced species here there is profit much profit for an individual or a company, provided 'ground could be secured for such purpose, in Importing seed oysters from the East, planting thorn in our bays (they will grow in almrfeH - ., w...w, . ocwjjjs io noma trade a year or two years, or more, later As ls well known, an Immense business of this kind Is conducted at San Francisco. Now, then, If pond culture of embryo oysters can be resorted to here (I have already alluded to a successful instance of its use in the East), how much more profit would there be in raising seed here than in purchasing it on the Atlantic Coast and paying freight rates to the Pacific "While I confidently believe that In time oystermen will find more or less Eastern oysters in Yaquina Bay, which have had their origin, naturally. In the plant introduced by the United. States Fish Commission, It may take many years before this result ls attained, and my chief In fact, my only reliance for Immediate results now rests upon pond culture In connection with artificial fertilization. Artificial fertilization consists in mixing the ripe generative products from both sexes of oyster In receptacles filled with salt water, and when the developing eggs have reached the swimming stage of the embryo, or later, turning them into the hay, or, better, Into ponds where proper temperature and saltness can be main tained, until they fix themselves as 'spat, this spat to be later deposited in the bay. With this idea of pond culture In mind, a cement pond was made last summer in the tide land with the expectation of test ing Its efficiency next summer. "Of all the baya of the Oregon coast examined during the last three years, Yaquina Bay, though not on Ideal place, appears most suited for successful propa gation of this delicious bivalve, although an abundance of oyster food was found everywhere, and, as stated above, this oyster will undoubtedly grow finely in almost any bay on our coast. A'atlve Oyster Indastry. "Yaquina Bay oystermen get at present $2 0 to $2 75 per sack for native oysters, a Ban Francisco firm having contracted with most of the oystermen for this sea son's output at the latter figure. The oy sters on the native beds are so closely worked now -that one-half a sack on a tide is considered fair work, though ono ack ,s sometlmes obtainecL In the past the business has been much more profit able than at present. The oysters havo dwindled in numbers and in size, owing to a too persistent tonging, together with a lack of foresight on the port of the oystermen. If they could unito in a de termination to forbid all tonging for two years or more on certain reserved por tions of the natural beds, and persist for a number of years in such a plan, using care with the unmarketable seed, besides taking the best possible precautions along modern lines for catching spat, I believe the Industry could be restored to some thing like what it was 10 years ago. But if the present methods continue, I will predict the extinction of the industry be fore -many years. There are at present less than 12 men oystering at Yaquina Bay, yet it all of that small number de pended for their living on selling oysters, they would fare badly. Some of them turn their attention to ealmon-flshing' dur ing a part of August, September, October and November. The oystermen who -do not flsh claim, and some of those who do flsh acknowledge, that while drifting at low tide the weighted nets drag the bottom, and in passing over the oyster beds disturb the oysters at a time when the oyster spat is still young, delicate and easily injured, besides rolling the adult oysters about at a time when they should be let alone namely, the spawning period. From necessarily limited observations on my part, and from careful inquiry from reliable parties,. I am inclined to think that this complaint is well founded. "The oystermen have been In the past united In the Yaquina Bay Oystermen's Association, which In 1SC8 drew up cer tain laws regulating oystering, which laws were afterward made state laws by the Legislature. In accordance with these laws, one Is obliged to have resided 12 months in, the state, and six months In the county, before he can tong oysters. Each oysterman can obtain from the state for use as private bed two acres of tide land, and only two." Senatorial Contest In Tennessee. There Is quite an Interesting contest on In Tennessee for the seat now occupied by Senator Turley. Governor McMUIIn, who has always been a candidate for Sen ator -whenever a vacancy occurred, is again In the race, and also a nuniber of other Tennessee Congressmen who think they should be transferred to the Senate. McMillln never amounted to anything In the House, although by reason of long service he rose to a position on the ways and means committee, and was at one time a member of the committee on rules. The fact that his party turned him down as a minority leader, and put Bailey at the head of the party, is an evidenco of what they thought of him In the House. He has been able to use the people of his district by btng elected time after time, and finally succeeded In becoming Govern or of that state, but thla was because the people had become disgusted with Peter Turney, who once overturned the whole people -when a Republican Governor was elected. Now McMillln thinks that, as Turley has served several years. It is time for him to get someth'ng, and he is mak ing what will probably be his last effort. Turley has developed into a good Senator. He is regarded as a first-class lawyer and a man of great ability, yet he Is one of the kind of men who will not constantly enter Into a scramble for public place, and possibly his seat will be sacrificed to a politician of the McMillln stripe. m HOTEL AltRIVALS.

ISAAC INGALLS STEVENS GOVERXOB, OP WASHEfGTOX TEH IUTORY AXD aCAJOR-GEXEBAlH Life, Career aai PhbIIo Scrvictis- TolBmes of Special Interest to Oar People of tke Kortktvest. As announced in another part of thla paper today, the "Life of General Isaac I. Stevens," by his eon. General Hazard Stevens, will appear In May. General Ste vens eventful career makes not simply an interesting biography, but one of great historical value, and affords a. fine example of a noble and patriotic life. It ought to find place in every library, and bo read by every youth In the land. Espe cially will it be interesting and valuable to our people of the Northwest Pacific States. He was first Governor of the Territory of Washington, and for four years tho Territory's Delegate in Congress. Then, at tho outbreak cf the Great Rebellion, he hastened to the National Capital and offered his services to tho Government. He fell In battle in September, 1S52. Fol lowing is a sketch of his life and services: Born in Andover, Mass., March 25, ISIS. a farmer's son, descended frqm one of the founders of the town, of Puritan, Col onial and Revolutionary ancestry. General Stevens early distinguished himself for ability and scholarship, entered West Point and graduated at tho head of his class, the late General H. W. Halleck be ing second. ' Mexican "War. After his marriage In Newport, and ser vice in building Fort Knox, on the Penob scot, and on other works on the New Eng land Coast, he made the campaign of Mexico as an engineer officer on General Scott's staff, was severely wounded, and awarded two brevets, and his diary of this campaign, with his graphic account of the stirring scenes, and his sketches of his associates at headquarters. Including Generals Zealous B. Tower, John G. Fos ter, Robert E. Lee, P. G. T. Beauregard and others, who subsequently became dis tinguished, Is of great Interest, and is given quite fully. Exploration, Northern Itontc. In charge of the Coast Survey Office In Washington, 1S43 to 1S53, he added to his reputation for ability and high character, and was appointed in 1S53 Governor of Washington Territory, and placed In com mand of the exploration and survey of the Northern route for the Pacific Railroad. Wlta a. corps of 11 Regular Army officers and a number of scientific men, a force all told of 243, divided into several par ties, he traversed the vast and then wild and comparatively unknown region. In fested with numerous warlike Indian tribes, from the Mississippi to the Pacific, exploring a zone 2000 miles long and from 200 to 400 miles wide; examined nine passes In the Rocky Mountains, and demonstrated the entire practicability of the route and the favorable character- of the country and climate. Five of these officers and one clv'l engineer became general officers in the War of the Rebellion, so that, Including General Stevens himself, the expedition furnished seven generals to the National cause. They were Generals . George B. McClellan, Cuvler Grover, Rufus Saxton, RIehard Arnold, R. Macfeely and Freder ick W. Lander. Indian Treaties. After organizing civil government In hid territory. Governor Stevens made treaties with over 30,000 Indians, extinguishing the Indian title to a great part of the Pacific Northwest, and Journeying across the Rocky Mountains with a small party, as sembled the Blackfoot Indians and dele gations from the Western tribes In the great Blackfoot council, held in October. 1555, at the Missouri, at the mouth of the Judith River, and there made a firm and lasting peace between the hereditary enemies. Some of the speeches and por traits of these Indian chiefs are given, and are of great Interest and historic value. While he was absent on this duty, the disaffected Indians of his territory broke out in open war, massacring settlers, de feating a force of regular troops, and blocking up the road back with the avowed intention of "wiping out" Governor Ste vens and party on their return. Disre garding the letters of his friends and the territorial authorities, urging him not to attempt the direct road, but to descend the Missouri River and return by way of the Isthmus, he crossed the mountains In midwinter, and forced his way over all obstacles to the settlements, arriving at Olympla, on Puget Sound, January 19, 1556. Indian War. The whole country was prostrate and dismayed, the whites everywhere driven from their farms and taking refuge In the few towns, the regular troops on the defensive, the savage foe exultant and threatening. Governor Stevens called out 1000 volunteers, and within three weeks had them organized, armed, equipped and In the Indian country attacking the enemy. In a campaign of three month-1 the Indian enemy was so thoroughly sub dued that the bulk of them came In and surrendered, and the more Implacable chiefs and warriors were slain or driven across the Cascade Mountains. In this campaign his energy and force overcame all -obstacles. He raised troops on hla own authority: procured munitions and supplies, partly by purchase for scrip or certificates of debt, and partly by impress ment: enforced strict discipline among the volunteers; placed 5000 disaffected Indian on reservations, and fed and protected them, and when the courts Interposed to shield suspected Indian sympathizers and abettors, he declared martial law, closed the courts, arrested the Chief Justice, and held him a prisoner till the exigency had passed. In Congress, the next four years. 1S37-G1, he vindicated his course, secured the rati fication of his Indian treaties and pay ment of the Indian war debt, and became the champion and exponent of the North ern Pacific Railroad route. The Civil "War. On the outbreak of the Rebellion, hast ening to Wash'ngton from the Pacific Coast, he offered the President his sword and services. Appointed a general officer byMr. Lincoln's own act. he conducted the reconnoissance and action of Lewins vllle, September 1G. 1651: commanded the Second Brigade In the Port Royal expedi tion; fought the nctlon of Port Royal Ferry, January 1. 1S62, alniost the first Union success, and for whlcn he received the thanks of the Government: command ed a division In the James Jslnnd cam paign, and fought the bloody battle ol James Island. June 16, 1S62; transferred to Virginia his division, forming the -First Division of the, Ninth Corps, and took part In Pope's campaign, and in the sec ond battle of Bull Run, where his division suffered severely. On September ha fought the Battle of Chantllly, where he hurled his scanty cchimn of six regiments against Stonewall Jackson's corps, which had flanked the Union Army at Center-vllle.-'and was in the very act of falling upon its line of retreat, broke and drove back Jackson's center division and saved the Army and the country from a great disaster. In this charge, when his troopfl wavered under the terrific fire. General Stevens rushed forward, to the leading regiment, seized the colors from the wounded bearer, and, calling on the High landers to follow him, led them In the onslaught which hurled back the enemy. In the moment of victory he fell, his brain pierced by a bullet In the temple, the flaj of his country In his dying grasp. Ifntlonnl Bank to Close. RUTLAND, "Vt.. March 25.

M. s IRISH IN BRITISH ARMY IBADISG GENERALS ARE SONS OF THE EMERALD ISLE. Largro Part of Her Army Is of Irish. Blood Time to Abandon Mls-i taii.cn of tke Past. PORTLAND, March 2L (To the Editor.) I find that some people think that Lords Roberts, Wolseley and Kelly-Kenny are not Irishmen. Lord Roberts was born in City of Waterford and his parents were Irish. Lord Wolseley wa3 born in Kil kenny. I was Intimate with his family, somo of whom lived at Kllnlsh, County Clare, whore I resided for nine years. Kelly-Kenny ls tho son of Matt Kelly, who was manager of tho National bank at Kll nlsh. County Clare, where I was manager of the Provincial Bank of Ireland. Wo were on Intimate terms for over 12 years. General Kelly-Kenny assumed the name of Kenny, when ho was willed somo property by his uncle of that name. In. ISSi he was stationed at Tralee, County Kerry, garrison, and then held tho title of "Ma jor," and In that year I sold him a hunter for 5750. I only knew Lord Roberts' fam ily by repute, yot I can bear testimony that he ls Irish and his family for gener ations were Irish. Lord Kitchener and I lived, for neigh bors for some years when, he and I were boys, there being only a rivulet separa ting his father's property, at Ballygongh lane, County Limerick, from, my father's property at Tannons, County Kerry. Ire land. He ls the son of the late Colonel Kitchener, who emigrated: from Ireland to New Zealand, some time about 1870, after he had disposed of his large property at 60 ($300) an acre. I knew his father In timately, also his brother. Colonel Kitche ner, who ls now in South Africa. That the Irish havo produced the most able Generals In tho British army, as well as- the bravest of soldiers In the world, ls beyond contradiction. In this country they have also proved themselves able and brave Generals and soldiers. They know no defeat, their motto being. "Try and try again." At the battle of Tel-el-Keber, Lord Wolseley said: "I owe my victory to the pluck and determina tion of my Irish soldiers; they are, in my opinion, the best soldiers in the world." See what the Irish regiments have had to face In the South African war, whilst some mongrels and would-be Irish prayed that they might be driven by the Boers Into the sea. So long as Lords Roberts and Kitchener are directing affairs, the English army will never be defeated by any army on earth. Whilst Lord Rob erts deserves much credit, I cannot feel but that much of his success Is attributa ble to Lord Kitchener, whohas not had a single hitch in his arranging of trans ports, either in this or tho last war he generaled or commanded In Africa. Ho is a strategist of tho first water. Of course. Lord Roberts has proved himself to be the leading General of the British army for years, and he, ls still the guiding star In the Transvaal. He took good care to select able Irishmen like Lord Kitchener and General Kelly-Kenny to carry out his orders, otherwise he would not have been so continuously successful in the campaign, which is one of great magnitude and many difficulties to be sur mounted. I was much surprised at the manner In which the wearing of the green by the British soldiers throughout Great Brit ain's dominions was criticised by some nondescripts: and, worse still, by business men of tho United States, who should show less animosity when they speak and write. They are simply traducers and firebrands, heated up by the spirit of prejudice and jealousy. The wearing of the shamrock was never forbidden by the Queen on St. Patrick's day previous to 1900 the only difference between 1900 and previous St. Patrick's days, in England and Ireland, in respect to that emblem being worn, con sists in the fact that in this year the Queen commanded the shamrock to be worn, whereas In previous years the sol diers and officers could wear such or not Just as they pleased. We talk of liberty and freedom lelng curbed In England and her possessions, but people who so express themselves are either too lazy to travel and read, or so 'blind that they won't see because their prejudice has clouded their eyes, in Ire land there Is liberty of. speech such as cannot be found even in this land of lib erty. In England the press is not curbed, neither Is a member of Parliament placed under arrest when he almost speaks treason and utters unparliamentary lan guage, which he has, at times, only to apologize for when he exceeds the bounds of polite language to a very great extent We ought, I think, to give "the devil his due." It Is high time that we should forgive tho mistakes of the past and see the "beam In our own eyes whilst wo behold tho mote in our brother's eye." If such a spirit were to spring up amongst ourselves. In what position -would we be in respect of our Southern neigh bors. We ought, if we consider ourselves a Christian people or race, to say or sing tho following words: The pasrt forgive, the future spare Sweet spirit, hear my prayer. England had end still has her faults and ever will continue Imperfect, like all nations, and peoples of the world, even America, but England should be Judged by what she has of late years been do ing, and not what she did In her dark days of Ignorance and superstition. We should not condemn the son because his father robbed us in days long gone by. England has proved herself to be our friend during the late war with Spain and she has proved herself to be our only friend too A large part of her army is of the Irish blood, therefore we Irishmen, in particu lar, should not pray for the army's des truction. It ls an ill bird thatj fouls Its own nest J. CREAGH. Larue Catch of Seals. ST. JOHN'S, N. F., March 25. The seal ing steamer Leopard, which took shelter at Welseyvllle yesterday, In oonsequence of the storm, is due here tomorow morning, and other steamers are expected to ar rive during the day. Judging from reports thus far .received, the total number of seals actually taken by the fleet Is about 296,000, and the prospect is that this total will be lncerased by some'flO.GOO before the season closes. As the entire catch last year was only 247.000, this year's figures promise to be the best within 20 years. North-westerners In New York. NEW YORK. March 25.
