OYSTER BEDS GROW
Willapa Bay Industry Is Re
ported to Be Thriving.
EASTERN BIVALVE PLANTED
Grower Are Covering Shallow of
Harbor With Shells and Other
Refuse to Form Resting
Place for Spawn.
OYSTERVTIJ-E. Wash., Aug. 21.
f Special. Willapa. Bay oyster grow
ers are looking forwaro to an un
usually large epawn of EaBtern oysters
this season. Encouraged by the un
usually bright prospects of a heavy
propagation, which will mean many
thousands of dollars to the industry.
oystermen are adopting novel means
of catching this spawn. The dry shells
that for many years .have been lying
on the beach at Long Island, which
was once a thriving oyeter center, are
being gathered and distributed on the
beds to form a resting place for the
SDawn. Tin cans, rubber boots, twigs
and other material are also being used
for thla purpose.
The waters of Willapa Bay appear to
be favorable to the transplanted East
ern oyster this year.

land, who Is in this city visiting his
old home for a few days. "Once this
spawn gets a start, euccess of the
Eastern oyster business In this section
will be assured," he said.
Good Times Ahead.
"Judging from the conditions this
year and the extra effort that growers
are making to "corral" this spawn, the
good times for the shippers of the bi
valves are only Just beginning. Should
the problem of propagation of the
Eastern oyster ever be satisfactorily
solved, there would be little need of
the growers spending large sums an
nually for tho Eastern seed, as they
are doing now. The cost of the plants
on board the cars, together with the
cost of transportation and the expense
Incident to delivery to the beds, loss
to stock en route, under present condi
tions, are the hardest obstacles the
grower has to overcome.
"Nearly 150,000 has been spent for
seed by one firm In a single season.
Even after the importer of the seed
has successfully planted the bivalves,
he must undergo an additional . risk
that the oysters will perish in their
new home before they reach the age
where .they mast be marketed. When
the question of successful propagation
shall have been solved, there will be
no need for the local dealers to fear
competition from seal-shipped goods
the Eastern oyster, which i opened In
the East and sent out to be sold on
the Pacific Coast In competition with
the home-grown product.
Large Spawn Predicted.
"Among the large ahippers of the
bay who are enthusiastically preparing
to catch the Eastern epawn are: North
ern Oyster Company, of Portland, of
which" Harry Hamilton Is president,
snd the Tokeland Oyster Company,
.Mrs. Lizzie Kindred, president. Man
ager Archie Charwell predicts a large
spawn.
"Growers of the native oysters are
also feeling the impetus that has .been
given the oyeter Industry. The native
spawn this season is larger than usual.

Is very bright.
"Shippers in general say that If the
favorable conditions continue there
will be no question about the supply
being sufficient to meet the demands
of the rapidly growing market.
"In the past few years every avail
able acre of oyster land has been put
to use. Immense areas of flats that
in former years'trere considered unfit
for oyster culture are now staked out
and being bedded with plants from the
natural beds and seed from the East.
In some Instances the old beds have
been destroyed by the shifting of the
sands, but the new ground has more
than made up for the loss."
