THEY ARE GROWING.
But all Have to be Taken up Now
The Davis Oysters in Yaquina Bay.

In few days, M. M. Davis will
begin task that is out of the or
dinary. Last year he planted a
car load of young Eastern oysters
in Yaquina bay, and this year he
repeated the performance. This
fall, those planted last season have
to be taken up, put through a pro-
cess, and then be dropped back into
their beds. When originally plant
ed in the Yaquina beds the little
oysters were about the size of a
mans thumb nail and perhaps a
quarter Of an inch in thickness.
These diminutive oysters were at
tached, five to twenty each to an
old oyster shell, and in this shape
they were dropped into the water.
They have since increased very
much in size, and some of the
groups have attained the dimen-
sions of mans head. The task
now is to take up these groups,
force them apart. and drop them
thus separated back into the water.
In returning them to the water,
they are dropped into beds proper
ly prepared by spreading them with
old oyster shells which keep the
oysters out of the mud at the
bottom of the bay. The work
would be in progress now if labor
were available.
Last year S oysters will be put
on the market next year. They
will then be many timeslarger than
when taken from their native beds
on the other side Of the continent.
brought across by rail and planted
in the Yaquina waters. 1t is the
increase in size that gives the owner
back the big freight charges he
has to paw on the car. the interest
on his investment, remuneration
for his trouble and hazard, and such
profit as he gets out of the enter
prise. The hazard in the business
is considerable as numerous inhuen-
ces may contrive to kill the grow
ing oysters. The break of a bulk
head by which great quantities OF
sawdust were let into the waters at
Oneatta year or two ago, killed
two-thirds of a carload of Eastern
oysters that the Yaquina Bay Com
pany had imported from the East
and planted in the vicinity. The
surviving portion o.. the imported
car was sold last year. A long con
tinued freshet and accompanying
silt might do at any time what the
sawdust did to the Oneatta oysters

PUTTING In NEW CABLES.
Big Changes Making in Independent
System-Thousands of Dollars
to Be Spent.

Improvements now making in
the Independent system in this city
are of important character. The ca
pacity of the cable that stretches
along Jefferson street will be trebled.
From Main street to the corner at
the Huston residence on Ninth, the
present cable contains fifty pairs of
wires. 1t will be taken down and
in its place will be installed one con-
tanning $50 pairs of wires. AT the
Huston corner the big cable will
branch off. one fifty wire cable ex-
tending down Ninth to Applewhite
corner, for better service in Job S
addition. Another fifty wife cable
will run southwark and still another
go to the college. The new cable
will give IN immense addition to
the companies facilities. The orig
inal cable was supposed at the time
the system was built, to be ample
for Corvallis for many years to
come; but the demands have be.
come so great that the cable service
was found to be wholly inadequate.
The company has orders now for
so phones that carnot be filled TN.
/ til the new Improvements are in
stalled.
The new Jefferson street cable
will be something immense in its
line. It will be two and halfinches
in diameter. 1t will weigh IS, 800
pounds. It will cost large sum of
money, to wit: about 81, 500 block.
A big force of linemen will take up
the work in few days. The ma
terial for the change is already
arriving. As soon as the improve.
ments are completed, which will
not take long, nobody will have to
! wat longer for independent phones.

SIX HUNDRED NOW.

The attendance at the college is
approximately 600, and will pass
that figure within the week. Ev-
cry county in Oregon is represent
ed, and there are delegations from
no less than 50 Oregon high schools
Even from far-off Alaska. there are
representatives, and in the classes,
there are students from the homes
of the distinguished as well as the
lowly.
What the college is giving the
young people of Oregon, is mani
testify what they want, or they
wouldn't come for it. The mana.
cement and the faculty must be
successful, or the institution would
not grow. Since it has more than
twice as many students as any other
institution in Oregon has ever had
and is therefore more than twice as
large, it must be travelling along
correct and approved lines.
When added to this Is that other
remarkable consideration that
trades, farms, the industries and
every line of busy avocation i:
calling loudly for and offering
handsome emoluments to its grad
uates, the singular success of the
noble institution cannot be ques
toned or its title to foremost place
be denied.

THEY HAVE TROUBLES.
Shortage of Pickers in Prune Orchards
and Crops are Being Damaged.

Threat of large losses in fruit
hangs over Benton county prune
men. The long drawn out period
that has been required for hop pick
ing resulted all last week in a SER
ious shortage of pickers for the
prune orchards. In the big orchard
where 5000 bushels at least should
have been gathered last week; only
about 1000 bushels were saved. A
condition largely similar prevailed
In other orchards. To add to the
difficulty, the rains have made peo-
pie unwilling to go to the orchards,
and yesterday morning, the force
was even smaller. The day began
at the Rose orchard without a pick
er. In the big orchard where there
should have been so or more, there
were IS. In the latter orchard
the seven cents per box offered for
picking has been slow to tempt
pickers. At that figure, which is
the highest by two cents ever paid,
good picker like Peter Piper can
pick up close to So per day.
The rains have also presented
another difficulty. The ripe prunes
are cracking open. If the showers
continue and the fruit remains
much longer on the trees. it will be
a total loss. There were yesterday
morning 8 900 bushels of prunes
hanging to the branches of the trees
in the big orchard with this men
ace of destruction constantly i'm
pending. The hope is that the
showers will let up for few days,
in which event, the problem will be
solved. The hop yards will soon
be denuded of the present crop, and
from among the pickers sufficient
force can doubtless be secured to dc
the work in the orchards. This
alone will be the means of prevent
ing serious loss.
! The condition has suggested the
general idea that it were better il
the Corvallis public schools were
opened two weeks later, or about
October 1st. There are alway!
pupils in the hop yards and prunt
orchards who do not return to schoo
until these crops have been gather
: ed. More important, however, i
the fact that in labor stringencie
like the present, scores ofthe large
school children would have beer
all last week in the hop yards O.
the orchards by which the garner
t ing of'those crops would have beef
greatly aided. All along there ha
r Ebeen a shortage of pickers in th
adjacent hop yards, due to the fac
that so many people hereabout
went to Independence and othe
points to pick.
j Meantime, the prune orchard
want pickers. and in some OF then
seven cents per box is paid.

Local Rowers Bear in
Mind Cambria se's
Experience.

The fact that soft boiled. medium
furnished the main diet of the Cam
bridge crew which recently beat Ok
ford in their great annual contest on
the Thames, is being much discussed by
local oarsmen and there is likelihood
of eggs playing an important part in
the training for the championship races
to be rowed at Pearl Harbor, on July 4
The training of the Cambridge crew
for the race, in which they defeated
their old-time opponents, was radical
departure from the methods of diet
which have obtained for years.
They were fed on eggs any style,
and while they were not deprived of
other foods, eggs formed the mainstay
of every meal.
The daily breakfast of the crew con
sisted of forty eggs, and the daily total
consumption was sixty or seventy, of
which ninety per cent. were eaten soft
or medium boiled.
The regimen for the oarsmen was
prescribed by physician who has
made a study of muscle and feshpro
ducing foods. The Cambridge men put
on hard, firm flesh, despite their vigor
Gus training, and their muscles were
visibly strengthened by the stimulated
effect of the albumen in their main ar
ticle of diet.
