Master Fish Warden Says
Business in Oregon Needs
Propagation.
YAQUINA RAISES BIVALVES
Taciflc Const Has Little Success in
Culture More Attention
Should He Given.
If H. B. Van Dusen, master fish
warden, can do what he wants to he
will get the government to put In a
biological station on the Oregon
coast, preferably at Yaquina Bay,
where there is already a small in
dustry of oysters in existence. This
coast needs such a station and Ore
gon in particular and Mr. Van Dusen
Is anxious to see the station erected
and to that end is working with the
Oregon representatives and senators
at Washington.
Recent controversies over the oys
ter business at Yaquina Bay have
brought up the question of propaga
tion. There are two interests in Yaquina
Bay which are at war. They brought
up their grievances at the last ses
sion of the State Board of Pish Com
missioners and Fish Warden Van
Dusen was appointed by the board to
visit that district and inquire into the
cause of the controversy and draw
up a set of rules and regulations as
submitted by both interests and then
see that they are enforced. Mr. Van
Dusen will not be able to go over on
this detail until the first of the month
or a little later.
"What we need In this state is a
station to look into the propagation
of oysters," said Mr. Van Dusen yes
terday. "The oyster business is a
good one and the Yaquina Bay dis
trict lsa good one In which to con
tinue the production ol oysters. But
of late years the supply of these fine
flavored oysters has decreased. Rules
and rgeulations for the season and
open and close season will have to
"bo rigidly enforced. 1
"BuOwIth such a place as a gov
ernment biological station here the
oyster business would not alone be
benefited; shrimps, lobsters, crabs
and another similar fish could be
raised and the northwest could de
pend upon these staples of consump
tion rather than on the East or
South."
Mr. Van Dusen's plan In reference
to Yaquina Bay is for the oyster men
to get together there and have some
regular method of setting out oyster
shells which are the medium which
the "spat" or spawn of the matured
oyster reproduces the oyster. The
approved method is to lay out shells
at extreme low tide with the inside
facing up so the spat can touch a
surface which is smooth and free
from barnacles. Then regulations
-regarding tonglng and the returning
of unmatured oysters would com
plete the rules as far as they can bo
foresen at the present time.
While away Mr. Van Dusen visited
the Clackamas hatchery and reports
that a few eggs have been taken and
the nrosnects there, from now on. i
are for taking a hundred thousand
eggs a night.
Mr. Van Dusen states that there
have been complaints from Rogue
Ttiver to tho effect that water com-'
panics and mining concerns which
have dams across tho river have not
kept tho flshwnys clear and fisher
men have been catching no flsli.
These companies nro supposed to
Keep the flsh ways clear but negli
gence on their part permits tho flsh
ladders to pllo up with drift and
other obstructions. Mr. Van Dusen
lias had an Inspector In that district
since June nnd although ho has kept
tho ways fairly clear ho can't be
present always and these obstruc
tions occur. Tho corporations will
lie carefully watched.
Mr. Vnn Dusen reports that dur
ing his visit tho Flower and Fruit
Carnival was in progress at Medford
Lut that rain fell and spoiled the
most of it.

At this time when tho dredging of
the upper haroor is being considered
by the citizen's of Marshfleld, the fol
lowing letter from C. As Smith, Will
be interesting as having a favorable
bearing on tho subject. It is as well
conceded that government aid may
not be expected inside one or two
years nnd whatever tho local peo
ple do in the meantime will add so
much to the facilities of the harbor
and show the outside wonu wo have
confidence in what we talk.
Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 8,1007.
Mr. J. E. Oren, Mgr.,
C. A. Smith Lumber & Mfg. Co.,
Marshfleld, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
I am Just in receipt of yours of the
1st. I should think that a good
dredge with a large capacity com
plete with the necessary cutter
should not cost to exceed $25,000 to
$30,000. Practically no capital Is
necessary for its operation. The
work of building this dredge should
be commenced at once. Captain
Johnson has just sent word to me
that he does not really see how he
can take this matter up, at least for
some time. As I wrote you a day or
,two ago, most anybody with a very
little experience can operate a dredge
so that It should not be difficult at
all to And someone able to run it.
Surely we ought to be able to have
one In full operation within sixty
days if the matter is given immedi
ate, strenuous attention. There is
no reason why this company cannot
be put on a good paying basis and
of course the benefits derived to the
Bay and all the Interests there as a
whole would mean dozens of times,
yes even hundreds of times the cost
of the dredge. The people on the
Bay should all feel the vital Import
ance of this undertaking and I sin
cerely do hope for our own sake and
for the sake of Coos Bay, that when
our steamship is ready to take out
its first load of lumber, as I sincerely
hope it will be in January, that the
conditions on the Bay will permit
her to load to Its full capacity and
go out without any trouble. I think
that every man who is on Coos Bay,
who has given this matter any
thought, realizes, the importance of
this to Coos Hay. I should be In
favor of building i middle size
dredge. If I understand it cor
rectly, 12" is the smallest they are
built, then 18 or 20 and 24". I
should say IS" or 20" would be as
small as we should build considering
the enormous amount of dredging
there is to be done and which must
and will be done In the future.
Yours truly,
C. A. SMITH.
