MORE OYSTERS FOR YAQUINA.
s eVeraI Carloads of Seed From
East Next Spring.

J. D. Wilcox of Portland, one OF the
owners of large oyster bed at Yaquina
Bay, was in the citv yesterday afternoon
on his way home from the bay, where he
had inspected his property and made
pr eliminary arrangements for the
planting of several carloads OF oysters to
be received from the east in the early
spring. He reports the two carloads
planted last year as doing nicely, and
looks for fine business from his ven
ture in the course of few years. The
only danger to the oysters now in the
b eds is from high water, and while this
danger might develop, the owner OF the
oyster beds do OF anticipate any trouble
from that source this year,
Some time in April Mr.. Wilcox ex-
poets several carloads more young oys-
ters to be planted on his Iaquina bay
eds. The oysters have been ordered
aud will be brought out before the hot
weather of spring interferes with their
shipment across the continent. The
oysters come in barrels, about $4,000
young oysters being packed in barrel,
on old shells, on which they have matur
ed and as in the past they will be plant
ed in that condition and allowed to
come to full maturity in that shape.
In speaking of the young oysters
planted at the bay last spring, Mr..
Wilcox stated yesterday that those
young oysters, which will not be ready
for the market for another two years,
ha We done exceedingly we'll and are
now of larger size than the native
oyster when the latter is fully matured,
and he thinks that the Delaware oyster
when transplanted to the Yaquina bay
beds will be larger and finer than in it's
native beds. The favor of the eastern
oyster when brought to maturity at
Yaquina bay is also superior to the
eastern product and almost up to the
flavor OF the native oyster.
Thus far the propagation of the east
ern oyster on the Pacific coast has not
been a complete success, owing to the
colder water found here than that in
which the oyster is produced in the
east. Experiments have been made for
many years with view to acclimst-
iLg the oyster from Delaware in coast
waters, and success, so earnestly hoped
for, has thus far been meager. But il
is thus far hoped that this may yet be
accomplished.
About 160 carloads of oysters are an
nually shipped across the continent fol
consumption on the Pacific coast, and
the freight charges on carload ar
about 5000. With a saving of these
freight charges fine market could b.
built up if the eastern oyster could b.
successfully propegated here and brough
to maturity 30 as to supply the demand
for this article of consumption. Blu
ii this cannot be accsmslishe'
there is still a good business awaiting
the owners of the Pacific coast oyste
beds who import the seed. plant it ant
produce oysters OF superior flavor here TO
the home market.
