How The Baby Came.
THE HAPPY FATHERS THEORY.

THE HAPPY FATHERS THEORY.
[some years ago, David Carker, poet from
the State of Maine, inspired by the joys OF pa
ternity, wrote and published the following
poem, in which he advanced the theory about
babies, which, if true, would convict st. Peter
of negligence in the discharge OF duties as
Celestial Warden.l
One night, as old st. Peter slept,
He left the door of heaven ajar,
When through little angel crept,
And came down with falling star.
One summer, as the blessed beams
OF morn approached, my blushing bride
Awakened flom some pleasing dreams,
And found that angel by her side.
God grant but this-I ask no more
That when he leaves this world of pain,
He'll wing his fight to that bright shore,
And find his way TO heaven again.

EASTERN OYSTERS.
From Prof. Washburn's report In the
Oregonian of the 18th.

Oregonian of the 18th.
The oyster industry at Yaquina
bay is not what it used to be, and
l have on several occasions pointed
out to the oystermen there that the
number of native oysters on their
planted beds might be increased by
the use Of brush collectors, to catch
any drifting spawn, which, lacking
something to catch on, settles on
another's bed or OH public ground.
They are not disposed, however, to
adopt new methods and content
themselves with the old and good,
but insufficient, method of strewing
clean shells on the beds.
FUTURE PROSPECTS OF THE EX-
PERTINENT.
commenting upon the attempt
to introduce the Eastern oyster, the
press of the state has run the gamut
from declaring it an absolute failure
to promising our citizens an abund-
ance of this delicious bivalve grown
in Oregon within a year or two.
The wiser course 10 pursue, regard
ing the effort as purely an expert.
ment, is to avoid the Scylla oil
pessimism and the Charybdis oi
extravagant hopes. The outcome
of the experiment can not be even
partially decided for two years from
now. No Eastern spat from the
spawning of year ago was found
this summer. 1t is too soon tc
observe results from this years

we shall eventually discover spat O.

Summons.

DR.. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart ln'

were sent us in I8o6-a somewhat
elongated variety from East river,
New York, and a round variety
from Long Island sound, called
Princess bay. The latter, coming
from locality nearer the sea, has
done better than the East Rivers.
Unfortunately only small pro-
portion of the 22 barrels was repre-
sented by this variety. We have
grounds for hope that the fish COM
mission will send us more Princess
bay oysters this season.
If money were available 10 make
salt ponds, where the proper condi-
tions as regards temperature and
saltness could be maintained,
Eastern spat could be raised arti-
ficially in very large numbers. AS
suming that this is not feasible, the
experiment resolves itself into
question of natural selection. That
is, some spawn, as time goes on,
will undoubtedly, inheriting the
acquired hardness of their parents,
pass successfully through the tender
and critical period and become at
tached as spat to rocks, shells, etc.,
in Yaquina bay. Their progeny,
parent and offspring having be
come acclimated as it were, will be
more likely to develop in large
numbers than their ancestors, so
that eventually the bay will be
more or less stocked with the BIZ
valves. TO what extent and how
long it will take is, of course, a
matter of conjecture. Judging
from the conditions prevailing in
San Francisco bay, where oysters
have been planted for years, it
would be the safest plan not to
expect too much from our expert
~ment. AS cause of encourage.
ment, however, we have the fact
that at San Francisco they have
made no such efforts toward this
end as we have here. The expert.
ment is well worth the very small
sum i, has cost the government; il
has cost the state nothing.
These oysters, like all The hsl
interests of the state, are under
protection of the state fish com
, missioner, who will see that {

and he sank down in the soft snow. john

This is the terrible story that is told for
the first time by ]. C. Sachs who has just
returned from Alaska. His partner, Ed
ward T. Calhoun of Yonkers. n. Y. wit

PITTSBCRG. Pa. September 2i.-The
Post today says that for some time past
rumors of q big railroad strike have been
circulated. 1t has developed that the con-
ductors and brakemen of the roads enter
ing Pittsburg want to be placed on an
equality with their brethren in other parts
of the country. To accomplish this object
these two branches of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen yesterday presented In
the officials OF all railroads entering this
city a scale of wages. An answer is re
quested within thirty days.
The demand calls for a ten-bour dav
with extra pay for every hour beyond thai
The rate Of wages asked is as follows:
Day conductors. SD; day brakemeu. 50 10.
night yard conductors, $50, night ward
brakemen. S2-Io. Extra per hour: Day CON
ductors, 2TI= cents; day brakemen. -
cents; night conductors, - cents; night
brakemen. % cents.
The present wages are based on a twelve
hour day
1t is claimed by the men that the rate
asked by them is paid in Chicago, Cieve-
land, Youngstown and many other western
cities
The district for which the advance is
asked extends east as far as Altoona and
west to Ashtabula- Ninety-nine per cent

CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

Activity in athletic circles at the Column

now. The candidates for the foot ball
team are beginning to appear in numbers
and the interest of the students of the uni
versity in the teams welfare gives prom
Use of most successful season. The ath-
ietic association CO the university has
cured the use Of the old Capitol Park for
those interested in sports, and this has
naturally given an impetus to athletics this
season. New seats have been put in for
use by spectators, while the accommoGa-
lions for those who desire to use the park
are of the best. New locker rooms shower
baths and other necessary adjuncts to
well-regulated athletic ground have been
provided, and the aim of the association is
to make the park one of the best in this
portion of the country.
The candidates for the foot ball team
make their regular appearance every day.
The new-men are showing up in fine shape.
and there Is promise of some excellent ma
terial in the lot. Among the members Of
last years fine team who are nearly al
ways to be seen on the field at the practice
hour are GrenviiIe Lewis, the captain Of
the team. and one Of the most skillful full
backs Washington has known; Weaver,
Harlan. Nichol Loucks, Meigs Tindali
some exceptionally heavy men among the
newcomers from whom it is expected 10
pick two or three who will strengthen CO.
luTnbians line and add greater weight than
1t possessed last year. This was the teams
weakness last season, but Capt. Lewis ex.
poets to remedy all these defects this year.
A good schedule of games has been ar
ranged. Manager J. William Beatty has
made this his special work, and it is ex-
pected that ccRtestS will be pulled off with
the Universities of Virginia and Maryland,
Swarthmore, and Johns Hopkins OF Bal
timore.
The chief event the schedule, how
ever. SO far as Washington is concerned
will be the game between Columbian and
Georgetown University, which has been ar
ranged to take place Thanksgiving day.
Columbian has been unable in the past 20
get a game with university team for that
day on account of the prohibition of foot
ball al Georgetown, and owing to the fact
that there was no other Varsity team in
this vicinity strong enough to give it an
argument. The changed state of affairs at
Georgetown this season however. has
made it possible to have an all varsity
Thanksgiving day game here, and those
who delight to see clean, honest foot ball
as the game should be played will undoubt-
eddy be in attendance.
