STATE fish Commissioner Little is
considerably concerned regarding the
depletion of the supply of native oys-
tiers in the waters of Wlllapa harbor
and Puget Sound. Cultivated oyster
beds in Willapa harbor, owing to the
fact that improper methods of prepa-
ration were used, have not increased
the supply because the oysters did not
propagate, and the annual increase in
demands for our native oysters is caus-
ing oystermen to encroach upon the
future of the industry. The commits
sioner proposes to check this depletion
by set ing aside portions of the natur-
al beds and passing measures which
will prevent their being overworked.
II is also proposed to appoint oyster
commissioners IN fhurston and Pierce
counties To take measures for protect
Ing the Sound supply. At present the
oyster industry of tie state yields
$4,000 annually, but if cultivation
and propagation are successful, the
revenues from this source may be ex-
banded very largely because of the
steadily growing demands.-W. c..

Italy arises from far deeper causes than
the rise in the price of bread. This is
merely a pretext, the last straw breaking
the back of submission to a system which
for more than centuary has ground down

The Government is endeavoring to re-

success depends upon the loyalty of the
troops. If this breaks down an era of an
archy comparable v it'll the French Revolu-
ton must be seriously apprehended.

Raymond came on he spied me and
nodded That very afternoon he and
l had been matching, and he came out
second best. He hadn't been speaking
a great while, when, half turning to me
and pulling out a silver dollar to my
utter amazement, he said very dis
tinctly:
"'Heads or tails, Saint? caught on,

ger to my head. All right, you win,
said Raymond, and Immediately pro-

funny thing, but the audience APP
peared to think it was regular, though
perhaps some were puzzled at its irrel-

the best joke of the season, and after
