"One of the most remarkable move
ments of freight ever sent to the Pa
cific coast" said Charles ]. Gray, OF
the Northwestern lines, "is so cars
of oysters for planting purposes, that
have just been shipped from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast.
within the past month so cars of
seed oysters have been shipped from
New Haven, Conn, and Wareham,
Mass, to Shoalwater Bay, Wash,
where they will be planted in the
famous oyster beds for a future mar
ket supply
"Sn this shipment of so carloads,
of which the Northwestern handled
there were over 90,000,000 individual
oysters which will be available for
the markets of the northwest.
"These oysters do not propagate in
the waters of the Pacific, but the sup
ply must be sent from the breeding
beds of the Atlantic coast. The loss
in shipping this amount Of oysters
across the continent is estimated at
but 10 per cent. The railroads gave
them first-class service and the oys-
ter trains made the trip across the
continent in 12 days.
"The oysters were shipped I'm 300
gallon barrels, about 100 barrels
making a carload. Two carloads
were also sent to Yaquina Bay, where
new oyster field is rapidly opening
up. Last year the entire shipment to
this coast amounted to less than 20
cars and only one car was sent to
Yaquina Bay.
This promises to be one of the
greatest Industries of the northwest
coast. These oysters are shipped from
Shoalwater Bay to all the large cities
in wholesale and are retailed from
there to interior points. The eastern
oyster is supplanttng the Olympia oys-
ter in all the markets"

TESTS AGAINST GAMBLING.
Cigar Stores and "Gallon Houses"
Ruin Many Young-Hopes the
Grand Jury win Investigate the
Situation at Meacham-Pleads for
Projections for the Country Boy as
Well as the Boy in the City.

Meaeham, Ore, May 22.-(To the
East Oregonian) you have
closed gambling in Pendleton and
drove out the Objectionable charac-
ters 1 understand one of the leading
tinhorns of that city is coming to
Meacham to start a cigar and tobacco
store, with an innocent Club" room
in the rear.
II there is any way in the world to
head off the gambling features of this
innocent cigar and tobacco store, 1
would like to know it, as just such
dives as these ruin more boys and
young men than any other form of
gambling.
Last year a "gallon house" was run
here, and whiskey was sold by the
pint, quart, gallon, drink and in every
other quantity, and games were
conducted in connection, it is said,
and when that joint closed, was in
hopes that we would be rid of such
places here.
There are perhaps 90 young men
here who will be patrons of the cigar
store and who will be tempted by the
card games that will accompany the
place. and l hope the coming grand
jury finds that this place is fit sub
ject for examination.
The same kind of gallon house
was also started at Kamela, by a
Pendleton gambler, and he expected
that the helper engineers and fire
men stationed there would break
their necks to buy his booze, but they
had better sense and he soon closed
up there for lack of business, his only
patrons being a few wood haulers who
had no corporation rules to train
them to better habits.
Kamela had more sense than the
tinhorns thought it had, and his in
vestment was Improbable. 1 hope
that some way may be found to guard
our country towns and villages
against these vampires, just as the
cities are guarded. Mothers here are
just as much concerned about their
sons as in Pendleton or elsewhere.
Respectfully,
A MEACHAM MOTHER.

TO REPRESENT STATE
HOUSE PASSES RESOLUTION FOR
COMMITTEE TO ATTEND BAT
TLEsHIP LAUNCHING.
MOTION BY SENATOR CALHOUN.
STARTS A RATHER SHARP
DEBATE IN SENATE.

st. Paul, March 18.-General Flow
er in the house Friday secured the
passage of a resolution calling for a
committee of five, three from the
house and two from the senate. to rep
resent the state at the launching Of the
battleship Minnesota.
It was vigorously opposed, the final
vote showing 43 negatives. General
Flower, however, won with IS votes in
| the Affirmative.
The general objection was that the
trip would be a junket for some one.
The house refused to indulge in a
| test vote to determine it's position on
the proposition to extend the direct
primary system to state officers.
The half dozen or more primary bills
before the house were ordered printed
| and their consideration deferred till
next Thursday.
The general opinion is that none OF
the bills will prevail.
On a resolution offered by General
| Flower, the house paused long enough
| in its deliberations to honor st. Pat
rick's day by eulogizing number OF
Irish patriots.
The resolution specified Charles Par
| nell, Dean Swift, Goldsmith, O'Con-
nell, Edmund Burke and number OF
/ others prominent in Irish history and
politics.
Many of the members wore emblems
of green in honor of the day.
A large number of new bills were
introduced in the house, mostly all of
a minor nature. The following bills
were passed:
| S. f. No. 63-Repealing law provid-
ing for a senate fireman. Wood.
S. F. No. 342-Prohibiting the kill.
ing or capture of tagged homing pig.

CAUSED SOME AcRlD REMARKS

Motion by Senator Calhoun stirs UP
the Senate.
An apparently mild motion by Sena
tor Calhoun at the opening of the sen
ate caused the airing of personalities
and indulgence in some acrid remarks
Senator Calhoun moved that senate
file 206 be referred back to the insur
ance committee.
This bill will, If passed, legislate out
of existence the Northwestern Nation
al Life Insurance company of Minneap'
oils and was drafted by Senator Lord
1t amends the stipulated premium
law under which this company and this
company alone was organized.
Senator Dart said the bill was report
ed out with favorable recommendation
largely because of the high standing
of the author and after brief hearing.
Since then he had learned that there
was some Interior motive behind the
bill which was calculated to crush out
certain legitimate institution.
| Senator Lord refuted the statement
and after a further debate the trouble
| was smoothed over and the bill went
over until Monday.
| Senator Eberhardt's private bank
/ ing bill, which has caused much dis
cussion in the senate, created another
ripple.
When the banking committee report
ed out the bill for indefinite postpone
ment Senator Thorpe sent up a mi
nority report recommending that the
bill be printed and placed on general
orders.
| The vote was taken on the substi-
tuition of the minority for the majority
report The motion was lost by a vote
of 27 to 26.
Appointment Confirmed.
Senator McGill renewed his request
for the confirmation of the appoint
ment of George w. Knox as a member
of the state board of equalization.
This appointment has been held up
for the past six weeks at the instance
of Senator Mansion. No objection was
was made, the vote being unanimous.

High School Debating.

High School Debating.
DURING the past few years the
high schools Of Minnesota have
been making efforts to train the
young people Of the state in the
art of debating and the progress
that has been made is quite salts
factory. A state debating league
was organized which has been in
existence about five years. Each
year high schools from different
parts of the state have met in de-
bate in preliminary and district
contests and in semi finals and in
finals and the representatives Of
the schools have acquitted them
selves in many instances with
great credit. Three times north
ern Minnesota has carried of
championship honors and this
year representatives of the
Breckenridge and Albert Lea
high schools will soon meet for
the final debate to decide the
championship Of the state for
the school year 1904 -05.
In all these debates young
ladies have taken prominent
part. Two years ago one of the
strongest debating teams in the
state was composed of three
Red Lake Falls young ladies and
the Breckenridge team which
this year contests for final honors
is composed entirely of young
ladies.
The organization Of this high
school debating is undou btedly
doing something toward making
Minnesotans more ready of
speech when on their feet and it's
results will be more and more
plainly seen in the years to come.
