Mason County Oysters and CLAIMS.

An Olympia dispatch of Nov. II
says: Though in its'infancy, compar-
atively, the oyster industry is assum-
ing an Importance in Olympia that is
gratifying and justifies hopes for flu
ture greatness.
< AS an indication of the growth OF
this trade, the following data is taken
from the records of the Northern Pa
cific Express Co:
There were shipped during October
this year by this company 1920 lbs
of oysters opened and $4,000 in the
shell; CLAIMS, opened, 2,746 lbs; in the
shell, 1872 lbs.
The best month last year made the
following showing on the records
Oysters, opened, 1920 lbs; in shell,
$4,000 lbs; CLAIMS, opened TAO lbs; in
shell, 1O,550 lbs.
OF course, these shipments only in
dictate the trade with more distant cit
les and towns as far east as Billings.
The following towns are good patrons
are named in the order of the volum c
OF their trade: Butte, Spokane, Helena
Walla Walla, Roslyn, and towns in
British Columbia.
There are 10 lbs of oysters to the
gal. and they are worth 50 per gal
Besides the oysters shipped ny ex-
press, large quantities are sent by
freight to Oregon towns and elsewhere
not including the Puget Sountl coun-
try.
The trade with Puget Sound cities
not included in the above estimates is
considered by competent judges to be
more then twice as great as the aggre-
gate of all the remainder of the trade
combined. Thus one can form q fail
conception of the growing importance
of the oyster trade. Besides this it is
estimated that there are 234 900 lbs OF
CLAIMS shipped from Olympia by
freight annually.
There are at least 100 miles of shore
line in the vicinity of this city on
which front unoccupied oyster beds, OF
land capable of being made such

John Slocum, the founder Of the So
called "shakesn religion among the In
dams of the upper Sound. died and
waSburied in the Oakland cemetery
last week. He was about 81 years old
and the chief of the SquaSin tribe,
and his Indian name was SQu-sacht-
un. He was widely known on account
of his three-days trance in 1881, when
he claimed to have visiongfrom beav-
en-. The Tacoma Ledger contains the
following excellent account of the
strange proceedings:
In October, 1881, Slocum was unac-
countably drawn to think of his evil
courses. While il, the woods h 15nelt
and prayed to God, and began serious
ly to think of the error of his days
and the evil DAYS that had fallen on
his few remaining native friends.
Whiskey, gambling aud general vice
had almost exterminated his people.
His eyes were opened to the folly OF
these facts and he prayed.
He, however, became sick, and as
his sickness increased these ideas be-
came brighter in his mind and his
duty more clear He grew worse and
one day he died.
He was pronounced dead by all pres
ent, and was laid out for burial. Hi;
brother went to Olympia for a coffin
and a grave was prepared.
He died at four o'clock in the morn
ing and late in the afternoon he agar
resumed life and recovered conscious
ness. His recovery was rapid and i'm
mediately he told those present tina
during his term of death his soul ha(
been to heaven where it had been mel
by the angels, who, after a proper in
curry as to his name, ETC., had tolt
him that he had been bad on earth
and reminded him very forcibly of hi
shortcomings while there, and finall.
wound up by informing him that n
could not enter heaven, but that h
could either go to hell Or could 6
back to earth and preach to the In
dams and tell them the way to HEAVIER
He accepted the latter proposition
and the result was that his soul re
turned to earth again, re-entered it
old body and has from that day {
this animated SlOcum with the spirl
of a crusader against gambling, whisky
drinking and other "Boston" vices.
At a large meeting composed onl.
of Indians, members OF his church
Slocum, standing before his people, il
the most solemn and impressive man
ner made in substance statement 0
their religion and belief.

on the N. P. taxes less than 20 pc

pay the greater part of the CLAIM
against it in the end, and should no
be treated better than individuals.

that several towns will be built along

to the loggers. He was supposed t
have been member of the Quantre
gang, and later, with Jesse James, bu
has since lost a leg and an eye, whic
does not improve his appearance. H
indiscreetly asked a woman of the 81
attic tenderloin to pass some of h
spurious money, which led to his a.
rest. A search Of his ranch disclose
nothing but some crude apparatus fo
making money, and it was probabl
that his outfit was hidden away. HI
numerous trips around the Scum
were evidently for the purpose of dis
posing OF his product.
