seed.
Bishop Doane, an expert in Western

the exact extent of the injury thus far
inflicted upon the beds. He is a heavy
stockholder in the Morgan Oyster com.

on Shoalwater bay. He is of the opin.
ion that large percentage of the pres.
ent crop has already been ruined by
the pest, and that much of the seed has
also been destroyed. The majority Of
the growers, he believes, do not ap-
preciate the havoc already wrought.

He will spend several days in going over

Those who have seen the toredo in

PERIL FROM ToREDOEs.
Oyster Beds of Willapa Bay Are Threat
ened With Destruction.

llwaco, Wash, Aug. 2O.-The oyster
beds in Willapa harbor and Shoalwater
bay are threatened with destruction at
the hands of the toredo. Discoveries
made in the last few days have convinced
oystermen tblt these pests exist in
alarming quantities, and that they are
fast making inroads, not only on the
mOtured product, but on the young
growth as well. The native and East.
ern product are subject alike to the at.
tack of this subtle foe.
Where the toredo came from, or how
the seed first found its way into the
waters of the bay, are points on which
the oystermen differ. That they should
now be so numerous as to practically
swarm the waters of the bay, whereas
a few months ago there were hardly
any in evidence, Is also fact that

From the latter point the stair treads

1t is interesting to follow the Jour
ney of the steam used in this model
engine room. After il passes through
| the engines, it goes through the ex-
hauSt line, thence through d Peerless

pacity. thence through two Goubert
feed water heaters, which are utilized
for heating the hot water supply for
the whole building. Part of the steam
is diverted from this course to go
through a Webster feed water heater
and purifier of 2O0-horsepOWer capacity
which in turn heats the feed water
by induction to about 200 degrees. The
bulk Of the steam. after going through

in it may be found lockers for the en-

Automatic Temperature Regulator.
A particularly interesting feature of
the building is the manner in which
the temperature OF the various suites
is regulated. The Johnson Electric

is a simple contTfvance by which the
temperature of any room may be regu-
