TRAIN FERRY At BLAINE.
MOVEMENT SAID TO BE UNDER
WAY FOR NEW CONNECTION.
Plans of Great Northern Alleged TO
Include This Route to yictoria-
Road to sidney Said to Form Com
Meeting Link-subsidy Voted.

Special Dispatch to the Post-TntelIigeneer.
WHATCOM, Dec. ga movement is
well under way to make Blaine. at the in
ternational boundary line. the point of
connection with the train ferry which the
Great Northern is said to have in view TO
operate to Victoria. The beginning of this
idea of a mainland railroad connection for
Victoria arose out of the rivalry between
Victoria, hemmed in and handicapped by
the surrounding waters, and Vancouver,
with its advantages OF transportation by
rail and steamer
That a train ferry Is feasible is easily
demonstrated and would give Victoria
terminal rates on sealed cars. From
Blaine to the end of the Victoria & Sidney
road Is about thirty-six miles, and this is
the most feasible route. Ten years ago
the standard gauge road was built ex-
clusively by Victoria people from Victoria
to Sidney, and was held by them till
very lately. when the Great Northern is
credited with acquiring It,
At the time OF the last visit of the
Great Northern officials; J. N. Hin, Chief
Babon, to Blaine, they were accompanied
by representative OF the Victoria *
Sidney road, and the whole party spent
considerable time at Blaine examining the
water front in all it's bearings. Immedi-
ately afterward Victoria voted subsidy
OF $4,000 per year for twenty years to the
railroad and exemption from taxation for
Its rolling stock. which Is taken to mean
a bonus for the expenses of the ferry The
same inspection Of the water front by the
Great Northern officials Is said to have
assured Blaine Of II water front road.
instead of having the depot nearly mile
away. as at present This would call for
about three miles of railroad. built to
connect with the Great Northern south of
the city.
There is no doubt OF the eagerness of
Victoria TO have mainland connections,
and the expressed views of her people, as
well as the practical steps taken towards
their accomplishment in the way of trans
ferring the local road and voting a sub
sdy at time when the Great Northern
officials were inspecting the advantages
Of Blaine seem TO verify the statements
made that Victoria and Blaine will yet
be connected by a ferry railroad
Blaine is forging ahead IN the Industrial

yer parties are the owners. has commence
ed the erection OF Its plant on its site on
the water front. The Monarch MIL Com

EASTERN OYSTERS IN

TACOMA. Dec. 9.-Ffsh Commissioner
A. c. Little who has been experimenting
since last April with Eastern oysters In
the waters Of Puget sound. considers ne
has indubftable evidence that this
Pacific coast than 1t does In the waters

growth all the oysters placed In the
keyport experimental station VIII double
the date they were placed at keyport.
These oysters came from Fairnaven:
Conn.,, and were three and four years old
when shipped.
The only drawback to the propagation
OF the Eastern oysters r. in the matter
Of reproduction. The waters, q the

At the Keyport station this Is remedied py

arm OF the Sound, enclosing pond forty
acres in extent. This pond lays open 70
the south. The rays of the sun strike
raises the temperature OF the water about
20 degrees. 1t has beer found that the
spa wn nDurishes best in a temperature
or Is degrees fahrenheit or thereabouts,
and this Temperature Is maintained In the
waters or the pond during the spawning
season. which begins in the latter part
OF May and runs through June and July.
The tomperature OF the waters OF the
Sound appears to be all right. for the
growth Of the young oyster and the de-
velopnnent Of a iarge-sixed variety OF BIZ

Mr. Little believes the successful expert
ments of propaKating and growing these
oysters In the waters OF the Pacific coast
is q most important commercial discoy-
cry, and declares fortunes will be made
In the industry.
.'The Eastern oysters sell for II cents
per dozen" said he this afternoon, ''and
they can be grown for about 3 cents q
dozen. We have not obtained the amount
of young oysters we expected, but there
are a number Of reasons why this is the
case Our shipment Of oysters came from
the East in April. tust before their spawn
ing season. and the unnatural life they
were subjected to In shipment doubtless
impaired their vigor for several months
after they arrived Then we were con,
structing our experimental station and
could not get our dam built. and the
water in the pond was not up to the
requisite degree of temperature. Another
seasons experiment will demonstrate be-
yond any reasonable doubt that Eastern
oysters can be successfully grown I'm the
waters of Puget sound and will develop
more quickly into fuil-grown oysters than
they do in the waters of the Atlantic"
