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. Thai's Irish, you know. .

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.
