APPROPRIATION FOR EXPOSITION.
The legislature has not yet acted on the
bill calling for a $1,000 appropriation for
the st. Louis Worlds fair, nor is it
likely to recommend that amount. This
is a poor time for any appropriation bill
to come up to this legislature and the
chances are not altogether assuring that
any outlay will be made for this purpose.
Two representatives of the ST. Louis fair,
w. H. Moore of st. Louis and Colonel
Harvey P. Salmno of Clinton. No, in
mpa with w. J. Bryan, who pre-
scented them, called on Governor Mickey
and urged him to use his influence with
the legislature to make an appropriation.
The governor told them that there was
a bill providing for $4,000 and that he
was Of the opinion that probably the leg
islature would grant $500 %. but doubted
if the bill would get through in its orig
inal form.

Mr.. Meekins Makes a Statement.

To the Editor: | note in your Sunday
issue of January 18th, an article, copied
from the washington Messenger" en-
titled THE oyster crop and prices,
which is so misleading to the public that
| desire to make a few statements about
the oyster industry.
1t is quite true that the price of oysters
has averaged much higher this season
than heretofore, which was brought
about by the growing demand for oys-
tiers throughout the United States, and
the fact that the oyster crop in Virginia
and Maryland is short. The crop in our
StG(e this season averages with last
year. In some localities the catch so
far has exceeded that of any previous
season. [ am informed that Washing
ton has no raw house" or canning fac
tory in operation at present, and that
oysters are carried there from the rocks
in small boats, q distance of from fifty
to sixty miles, for local consumption,
and it is to be expected that the price
should be higher than when hundreds of
bushels are carried to the factories every
day. | have never known the time that
the oystermen did not work the rocks
for all they are WORTH but the state
ment of the Messenger" article that
they are doing so now simply shows his
entire ignorance of the oyster industry.
If ne means that the law is being vio-
lated to a greater extent than ever be-
fore, nc is mistaken
In regard to the patrol boats" |
think the Oyster Commissioner has acted
wisely in securing less expensive and
more practical patrol boats. The boats
now in use have rendered better SER
vices than any boats ever used for this
purpose previously and the fact that
there have been moro indictments and
convictions for violations Of the Oyster
law than under any previous admins
tration, is ample proof of the watchful-
ness of the officers There are some vio-
lations of this law, of course as there
are of most laws. but those acquainted
with the oyster situation know the
many difficulties to be met by the Off
GERS in enforcing the law, and that this
industrdy is in better shape than it has
been during the past six years.
Respectfully,

Evansville, Wis. From that time to this
there has been great demand for Pc
