Oregon Editors at Nye Creek The annual session of the Oregon State Editorial Association was held at Newport, or, to draw it Hue, Nye Creek, on the 22d, 23d and 21th inst. The meetings were held at the Irvin Club, the pretty sample copy of the Forestry Building, which was a leading feature of the Lewis fc Clark Fair. The members of the Association foimd good accommodations, special rates and courteous treatment at the Irvin House, the McDonald and the Nyebrook and gave expression to their appreciation in a resolution. The editor of The Leader is also in debted to Mr. Irvin for the loan of some dry garments. We haven't space for the story. This was one of the most important sessions of the Association, the desire to do business overbalancing the skrong liitiiua-.i'jii iu om am l'wtiigo in an unrestrained mixup with the beauties of Nature. The Oregon Press Association is tak ing the initiative in the effort to secure much valuable state and national legis lation, of which .it is not necessary to speak at this time. An exhaustive dis cussion of the various subjects re sulted in a prettv thorough understand ing, and the Legislative committee will do the rest or attempt to. This will all come out in the wash of January, 1907, when both the Legislature and the Press Association will be in session in Salem. It is not out of o-der to pause here and remark that the Oregon Press Association is the most active as well ns the most effective "push club" or "development league" in the state. What would other organizations accom plish without its co-operation? An interesting bit of discussion re sulted from the report of the com mittee on resolutions. One resolution pledged the support of the Oregon Press Association to the equal suffrage oanse and the fight was on. The friends of the resolution were largely in the majority until the Hon. Frank Davey of Salem uncorked a big jug of sophistry, and then it was all off with the girls. Frank is Irish, vou know And hereby hangs a tale, which shows how very little regard he has for the rights and tender feelings of women Mr. Davey was very attentive to bust uess until adjournment, after which he proceeded to have a good time in a gentlemanly, wholesome wav, of course The anniversary of Mrs. Davev's birth arrived Tuesday and Mr. Davey de cided that trolling for salmon would be a fitting way in which to celebrate the important occasion. Accordingly he armed himself with complete and mod era fishing tackle, but supplied his worthy aud confiding better half with a line attached to a little pinhook. It is needless to state that the salmon which Mrs. Davey caught havo uot been reported, but the Hon. Frank landed four-one a beautiful 25-pound chinook. Hows that for an Irish ttick, perpe iraied ty the Cicero of the Oregon Press Association and an aspirant for the Speakership of the Oregon House of Representatives? The election of officers of the Assoc! anon for the ensuing year resulted as follows: rresidout, C. L. Ireland of Moro: first Nice President, E H. Woodward of Newberg; Second Vice President, D. W. Bath of Hillsboro; Secretary, Albert Tozier of Salem ; Treasurer, Miss ranees E. Gotshall of Portland. Mr. Tozier and Miss Gotshall havo held their respective offices for - I ? merned recognition of ability and fidelity. The retiring President. J. C. Hayter of the Dallas Observer, has made good to an extent not surpassed by any of Ids predecessors, and it is to his energy and zeal that the Association today, more than over before, is entitled to recognition as an organization for the good of the public-or, ns the Hon, Frank Davey would put it, pro bono publico.

Blankets and Comforts. At greatly reduced prices. Comforts At 75 cents, A. Eosokook, Corvallis & Eastern is Sold. That the papers are being prepared for the transfer of the Corvailis & Eastern Railroad to the Gould interests is the authorative rumor which reached Albany from Portland last night. The sale conies as a result of the recent Oregon trip of A. B.' Hammond, pres ident of the road. The presence of Traveling Passenger Agent J. C. May,, and Auditor F. D. Kneuttner in the local offices the -past few d-iys is be lieved to have been for the purpose of preparing the holdings for the transfer. The report received from Portland last night stated that there was no doubt that the deal would tro through, that the abstract of Corvallis & Eastern property was now being prepared for the trausfer. The deal was practical! arranged some time ago, it seems, and President Hammond's visit to Albany early this week completed arrange ments. The Astoria i Columbia rail road, also Hammond property, may be included iu the sale also. The purchase of the C. & E. by the Gould interests means that the road will be extended across the mountains at the earliest possible date, for tin Goulds will operate the road in connec tion with the Western Pacific, with which they will-soon enter Oregon. Albany Herald, September 21. Eastern Oysters in Yaquina Bay. In a few days M. M. Diivis will begin a ta'sk that is out of the ordinary. Last year ho planted a carload of youni; Eastern oysters in Yaquina Bay and this yenr lie repeated the performance. This fall those planted last season have to be taken up, ,,ut through a process and then dropped back into their beds. When original!;- planted in the Yaquina beds the little oysters woro about the size of a mail's thumbnail nnd perhaps a quarter of an inch in thickness. Thesediminutive oysters were attached, Ave to twenty each, to an old oystor oyster shell, and in this shape tbey were dropped into the' water.. They have since increased very much in size, and some groups have attained the dimensions of a man's head. The lank now is to take up those groups, foreo tuem apart and drop them thus sep arated back into the water. In return ing them to the water they are dropped into beds properly prepared bv spread ing them with old oyster shells, which keep tho oysters out of the mud at the bottom of tho bay. The work would be in progress now if labor were available. Lust year's oysters will be put ou tho market uext year They will then be many times larger than when tuken from their native beds ou tho other side of the continent, brought across by rail aud planted iu tho Yaquina waters. It is the increase in size that gives the ow ner back tho big freight charges he has to pay on the car, the interest on his investment, remunera tion for his trouble and hazard, und such profit as he gets out ofthe enter prise. The hazard iu the business is considerable, as numerous iiifliiom-o may contrive to kill the growing ovs- ters. Tho break of a w hich great quantities of sawdust were let into the waters at Ounatta a vear or two ago, killed two-tnirds of a carload of Eastern ovsteis that the Ynmi, l!y company had imported from the East and planted in the vicinity. The surviving portiou of the imported car was sold last year. A long couiinued freshet and accompanying silt might do at any time what tho sawdust did to the Oueatta oysters. Corvallis Times.
