The immense resources of timber,
agricultural lauds and the oyster beds
will cause this bay eventually to become
quite a commercial center.
The bay receives very little fresh
water and is one of the few places on
the coast where oysters do well
Ail
that is needed is to develop the oyster
beds and there are fortunes in them for
many. Clams of all kinds are plentiful
in the bay and on the adjacent weather
beaches.
There are line bodies of spruce timber

There are many line ranches around
