Leasing Oyster Lands.

: There is boom on in the oyster in
dustry hereabouts; that is, there is a
boom in the matter of leasing oyster
lands. A number of Olympians in the
past month have leased five, ten and
as high as fifty-acre tracts and already
the lessees of the state see fortunes
ahead in cultivating and selling the
juicy biyalve. On oyster bay there is
no such thing as foot of oyster land
left, and down the Sound on either
side lands have been taken up in
many places. At South Bay, also,
several parties have secured tracts,
and every man who has leased lands
thinks he has bonanza. There is
certainly big money in the oyster in
.dustry providing one strikes the right
kind OF land, but it is hardly probable
that all who of late have leased tracts
will realize all sbey anticipate now

the fruit spurs and on which the fruit
is borne. In pears and apples fruiting
spurs may bear flowers year after, the
spurs increasing gradually in thickness
therefore if removed too freely, the
tree may be permanently injured. In
the case with cherries, prunes and
other stone fruits the formation of other
Towering buds progress gradually to-
wards the ends of the branches because
the spurs which have once borne flow
ers will not do so again. In all cases
the production of excessive woody
shoots can only be stopped by cutting
away the tips of the branches, leaving
the greater portion, or at least the
shoot. In other fruit sections of the
Pacific Northwest where excessive
wood growth is being made the sum-
mer pruning here recommended should
also be put into practice.-Northwest

posed fish hatchery on the Skokomish
River, had been selected on the lower
river, within range of the salt water,
created much complaint here, and a
large petition was circulated and sent
to Fish Commissioner Little, protest
ing against such location. Those who
are familiar with tho habits of fish,
say that they spawn on the upper
river, and the hatchery should be
placed at the forks, near Henry
Latham's. A good road makes this
location accessible at all times. And
this institution should be placed where
it will be public benefit.
AN Eastern editor says that man
in New York got himself into trouble
by marrying two wives. A Western
editor replies by assuring his contem-
porary that a good many men in that
section had done the same thing by
marrying one. A Northern editor re-
forts that he found trouble enough by
promising to marry, without goin g
any further. A Washington editor
says friend of his was bothered
enough when simply found in compa-
ny with another mans wife. And an
other Washington editor, Populist T..

republican, was evidently trying to

II now seems as though the oyster
men of the upper Sound, who have
practically the control of the market
in the Northwest, were going to hang
together and secure better prices for
their product. The oyster business is
now reaching such proportions that it
should be handled in systematic
manner. The natural beds can no
longer be drawn upon for sale, and the
oysters must now Dc planted and cul-
tivated with as much care as the farm
er tills his land It costs money to do
this, and as the oysters of this section
practically have the whole market,
there is no reason why those engaged
In the business should not secure the

HID HIMSELF AWAY
FROM SIGHT OF MAN
Death Draws Near a Former Contra
Costa Official Who Became Her
NIT Thirty Years Ago.

SAN RAFAEL, June 3.-In a little ram
shackle cabin on which the boards and
shingles rattle in the wind place where
the breezes seem to whisper of ghosts
and fairy lore as they sweep down the
Nicasio Canyon lies an old man whose
head has been whitened by the frosts of
more than seventy winters. Henry HaZen
Abbott's candle of life is about snuffed
out and with his demise will be written
the concluding page Of a tale that in GER
tain ways is as wonderful as anything
ever penned by Verne or Stevenson.
Thirty years ago Abbott, who was then
Deputy County Recorder of Contra Costa
County, became involved in broil with a
man named Gilbert over the latters wife,
and in order to save his life fled, with
bullets singing merry tune of vengeance
about his ears. A week later body was
washed upon the banks of the Sacra-
mento River and identified as that of
Abbott Thousands of dollars worth of
property belonging to him finally went
to the State.
For over thirty years nothing further
toned the report of his death but a few
months ago he was met by an acquaint-
ance while chopping wood on Paper Mill
Creek where he lived in a hollow tree.
Abbott said he had concluded to bury
himself alive in the redwoods and cared
nothing for the loss of his property He
seemed eager to hear of his old friends
and laughed heartily at the opinion pre-
vailing regarding his death.
Now he lies i'll and the story of his
peculiar life is about ended.
