l Oyster Bay Is about eight miles IN
length and Is the chief source OF supply
Tor the luscious hivaives which 20 under
the name OF Olympian oysters IN the
markets Of Washington, Oregon and
that part OF British Columbia resched
BY them. That they are called Oiym-
p1sn oysters probably arises from the
fact that they are all shipped from here
and handled BY Olympian dealers.
However, that cuts no figure, Tor they
would undoubtedly taste as sweet II
called by any other name.

They begin about mile from the head
Of the bay, into which empties Sim
mons creek. and extend irYegulafly
down three or four miles, being in some
places apon one side Of the bay and
sometimes upon the other.
The beds are dry only at Low tide, and

sen of the year, Il was not the most
favorable time for an inspection. On
this particular night low tide occurred
at seven o'clock and cur party clad in
rubber cspapie, and armed with iron
teeth rakes and ten tined forks, and
carrying lanterns, sailed forth. Il

The panQ accustomed may be eased
by the knowledge that many of the
shells are empty ones, scattered there
for the purpose OF catching and retain
inc the spas of the oyster, and also that
many Of them are muscles shells, scat
tered for the same purpose.
Oas man goes along with his IRON
