BIIOALWATBH HAY OYSTERS.
Mhlphieuts Increasing But Mtarflsh
Making Terrible Inroads, -
W, A. Carruthers. one oC the lead
ing and best posted oyatermen at oya
tfrvllle on tlhoalwater Day, passed
ed through the city yesterday on hi
way home from Yaqulna Bay, m this
late. He state lhat the present
oyster season ha been a prosperous
one on Shoal water Itay. While from
100,000 to lM.MO aack have been ship
led from hoalwater Day the present
season at least SHOO sack were shipped
from Oytervllle alone. The priues
lhi season have averaged tt a sack.
bul Mr. Carruthers expect next ra
' on will find the price at 12 (10 a sack.
The reason for thl 1 the general in
creuse of demand fn native Pacific
, Coast oyster and the decrease In pro
duction on account of the onslaughts
jon oysters by the irurflsh. While the
denier In California are the greatt:t
' buyer if the Northe raclfln oyster
J they try to always keep them down,
IOIT lilt lWm IIOH. HICIT (W Bnr.
iprufli In selling Kastern oters, yet
jthe merit of the native oyster I forg-
' Ing ahead. TIh contemplated scar
city for the coming season 1 asxigned
'to ihe fuet that there wa no ''net"
j last esontht is there was no lay
jtng the foundation for thl fall pro
; ductlon. Th weather being very cid
. last- winter Is assigned -a -the. reason
!for this, but the general freak of na
jture are often unexplalrmble.
j The great enemy of the Phoslwater
t Hay oyster, say Mr- Carruthers. hi the
i starfish. These destroy millions of oys
,ler annually. They destroy more
than are taken by the oystermen. Ir
the appropriation thai Is made for ex
perimenting with the Bastern oyeter
j was applied lo the destruction of star
fish the result would be tenfold better
jfor the country. He state that 8509
appropriation would practically clear
Shoal water of the starfish, and that
once cleared It might be year before
they would return. At present the
oyster men are fighting the starfish
on th-lr own responsibility. With
"mop" made of webbing, attached to
I Iron the bed are dragged and by
thl mean thousand of the pests are
destroyed, but with yacht or steam
er millions of them could soon be de
stroyed and the waters soon cleured
of them. The appropriation of SMIOO
for 8hoalwatir would accomplish thl.
At present every ovster man 1 re
quired to put In three days during the
canon destroying starfish, but the
methods used are not effective and but
little Is accomplished, A yacht or
steamer could destroy 100,000 a flay,
In one season either would clear the
bay.
ftpetklng of Eastern oyster he said
that 17 carloads will be planted tht
season. He says thai these would be
planted anyway; that the appropria
tion la a graft and that It does no
good for the Industry; that for this
reason the appropriations should be
made for the destruction of the an
imal which prey upon the oyster In
dustry. He an Id. that the Yaqulna Bay oys
ter was the best that Is produced on
the PaclAc Coast, but that the pro
duction I wu-ill and cannot be In
creased. The starfish does not, prey
upon them tture; the plant Is sim
ply confined and nature, nor man'
aid, can better conditions. .
While the Eastern oyster Is' most
popular, yet there are many purpose
to which the native oyster la most
adaptable, suoh as cocktails, etc. But
still, he says, the future of the East
ern oyster is great In thl country and
that tn a few years we will rival the
world in the excellence of the pro
duction. Among our numerous re
sources the oyster business promise
to rank at a high standard.
