Confessions of hold-up men show that

are often idle, but the question OF the

one that it is best TO believe that he viii

on the safe side But If there is a police
man in sight, it is always safe. the po-
licemen say. to resist No hold-up man
would kill a policeman unless there is alb

who are familiar with the police depart

killed an officer that outlaw will fall
dead just as soon as the policeman gets
his revolver in his hand ard the hold-up
man within range. 1t is a way the po-
lice have of trying OF proving that they
possess that which III other surround

The best authorities agree that while
the energy and ability of the average
hold-up is greatly exaggerated, it is al
ways better before beginning & dark jour

in some place place down town and to
secrete money in the shoe or in an out

man is met. all that can pass between
the honest citizen and him is a greeting.
As long as no money changes hands the
hold-up industry has none the best of

OYSTER BAY CUlLlNCS

w. ID. Hudson's new house is ready
Tor the painters.
Dennis Hurley was visiting his par
ents here this week.
John Fiander has gone to Yakima
by team to engage in farming.
Randall Mcdonald has been ap.
pointed Postmaster at Old Kamilchie.
A good many Japanese are leaving
the bay to work in down.Sound can
neries.
Seed oysters cost $l.25 per sack and
1T requires about 700 sacks to seed an
acre of ground.
E Jesse Bowman has crew of men
at work improving the Port Blakely
oyster lands filling in and leveling.
Fred. Taylor and a crew of men
with a pile-driver are driving piles on
the upper bay for the Simpson Oyster
Co. and Capt. Thos. Tew.
Mcdonald & O'Neil have completed
their new store building, at New Ka-
milchie. and have placed therein a
stock of general merchandise.
Oystermen here coincide with the
opinion OF John Miller Murphy in re.
CARDS to the OVERRIDING of the oyster
business to certain extent. People
must not expect every chuck hole,
sand bar or mud-tiats to raise and
breed oysters. This bivalve will only
do well under certain conditions. The
bottom must be suitable; the open
Sound is not good. but an enclosed bay
is needed with fresh water running
into it, as oysters require brackish
water, and all Sound oyster beds of
long standing have such water. We
know OF one company who has 700
acres of tide-land called "oyster
lands" without an oyster on them.
They are going to seed the grounds
right away, so they say, but we VEN
ture the opinion it will take them
100 years to seed 700 acres of tide
land and then not raise enough oys-
tiers to make a cocktail. 1t takes 700
or SOO sacks of oysters to suitably seed
one acre. Where is this seed to be
got? There are not enough oysters
on the Sound to seed that many acres.
II is safe to say that some of the
buyers of chuck.holes, sand bars, etc.
have great deal to learn about the
oyster cultivation, and that if they ever
do become proficient, they will respect
the humble oyster more than they do
to-day, is the opinion OF an old oys-
terman OF twenty years experience
with the festive bivalye.
