The Other Side.

To the Editor: AS there has been
great deal of adverse comment on the
bill now before the Legislature for the
protection and promotion of the oyster
industry, and no doubt many people
have signed the remonstrance who knew
nothing about the provisions of the bill,
except from representations made to
them by parties who did not understand
it. or who were prejudiced by personal
interests. will you kindly give me space
to give another side of the matter?
In the first place, we as citizens and
taxpayers of Lincoln county are all
interested in building up and develop.
ing all the natural resources of the
county, and it is due to every citizen of
the county that such natural resources
should be so protected and cared for
that the proceeds derived from them
shall bring the most money into the
county for distribution here; and that
do resource be allowed to deteriorate or
be sacrificed in the interests of any one
man or few men.
In the oyster business we have re.
source, which if properly cared for will
be with us always, and will bring many
thousands of dollars into the county
every year; but as the matter now
stands we have no law to protect or en-.
courage it at all; what there is on the
statute books being vague, and leaving
1t to local regulations, without specify
ing as to what they shall be.
What is the consequence For fifty
yeaas the oy stermen have had the man.
agement Of the business, and from be-
ing the main business OF the county,
employing many people, and sending
out many schooner loads of oysters
every season, it has gone down until
you can count the regular oystermen
on the fingers Of your hands. Even IS
or 10 years ago, they were shipping
more than carload every month, and
that at $3.50 to S2.75 sack, and now
when the price is S3 to 1926 per sack,
there was shipped last serson from the
combined output Of private and natural

Enforcing the Law.

According to the Tillamook Herald
something has been doing in that city.
1t had been suspicioned for long time
that parties in that town were violating
the local option law. Sheriff Crenshaw
and his deputies resolved to investigate.
AS result of the systematic search for
evidence number of arrests were
made and $500 in fines added to the
city funds, and more convictions to
follow. The larger number pleaded
guilty. One man who was tried by a
jury was convicted and fined $3.50 and
80 days in Jail. In one Of the jury
trials the prosecution had only one wit.
ness and it was shown that he had
served time in the reform school and
penitentiary but the jury held the evil
dence to be conclusive and brought in
a verdict Of "guilty as charged" and
the court assessed fine Of 500.
From this we would infer that the
way to enforce the law Is to enforce it,

The amount expended annually for
booze in the United States is, in round
numbers, one billion four hundred
million dollars. The Nations drink
bill is one-third more than the public
debt, only little less than the capital
ization of all our trusts and industrial
combinations; one-half the value of
our domestic animals; more than one.
half the value of all our farm products;
one-third more than our total imported
merchandise and one-twelfth more than
our total exports. It is estimated that
twenty million people, or one-fourth of
this country's population, have the
drink habit, and that rs per cent of the
crimes committed are the result OF too
much booze. Wouldn't 1t be nice il
the one billion four hundred million
dollars thus wasted annually could be
utilized in the construction of good
roads and the Improvement Of rivers
and harbors? Divided among the states
in proportion to area, Oregon-of which
Lincoln county is an important but
undeveloped traction would soon have
everything in the line of perfect land
and water transportation facilities. But
the independent, liberty loving, native.
born or adopted thirsty American citi..
zen will not stand for any such scheme
pro bono publico. They will continue
to be dissatisfied with themselves in
their natural state, blame their ances-
tors for their physical or mental short
comings, and endeavor to improve the
job by the regular absorption Of liquid
beautifiers and brain developers which
fail to beautify and develop.

dustry of Lincoln county is not what
1t should be, and no legitimate effort
should be spared to make it very i'm
pertant source OF revenue which can
undoubtedly be done without injury to
anyone. We have neither time nor
space to devote TO further discussion of
the two widely different opinions of the
bill harbored by the other fellows on
one side and Mr.. Davis on the other. 1t
seems to be up to the Legislature. ED.
Since the above was put in type we
have received more on the subject from
Mr.. Davis, but 1t must be sidetracked
until next week

Oystermen's Association.
Oyster City, Jan. 25, 1907


At a meeting of the Yaquina Bay
Oystermen's Association, Michael Rod
dy, President, George King, Secretary,
the following resolutions were adopted
Whereas, A bill has been introduced
in the Legislative Assembly of Oregon,
now in session at Salem, viz, House
Bill No. 164, "to promote oyster culture
and regulate the leasing of natural
oyster beds on Yaquina Bay, Lincoln
county, Oregon" and
Whereas, The said bill states that on
account of neglect the supply Of native
oysters in this state has been almost
exhausted, and that there is no ade-
quate protection for the oyster industry
and propagation of oysters on Yaquina
Bay, both OF which statements are un-
true; and
Whereas, Certain parties and others
not residents of Lincoln county have
introduced bill asking the Legislature
to set apart that part of the natural
oyster beds of Yaquina Bay known as
Oysterville Flats, Caffrey Island Flats
and Mulligar's BEND, which are prac-
tically all of the natural oyster beds
worked by the oystermen, and on which
the oystermen have to depend for a
living, and gather young oysters to
plant upon their artificial beds. Should
the above-named bill become law, it
will totally deprive the oystermen from
making living for themselves and
families. Therefore be it
Resolved, That this Association does
protest against the passage of the
aforementioned bill, and that copy
OF this resolution be forwarded to the
Hon. G. s. Wright and the Hon. B. F.
Jones, our representatives at Salem
asking them to use all their influence
to defeat said bill. And be it further
Resolved, That this Association does
protest against any change in the ex.
isting laws governing the natural oyster
beds in Yaquina Bay.
