OYSTERS ON PACIFIC COAST
Culture Of the Succulent Shellfish in
Several Bays Carried On
Successfully.

1t is boast Of the people of the Pa
cific coast states that somewhere in
their specially favored section of Gods
green earth they can raise anything
that is produced anywhere else in the
world. There may be exceptions, says
the Pacific Monthly, but the oyster is
not one of them. If the average inhab-
liant of the east or middle west were
to be approached with the query, do
oysters grow in the Pacific ocean? the
answer would probably be no. Indeed,
very few of the Californians. Oregon
ians and Westinghouse themselves
realize to what an extent the oyster
raising industry is being carried on.
Among the leading points where the
oyster is being grown the bays about
San Francisco, YaQuina and Netarts in
Oregon, Shoalwater and Olympia in
Washington must be noted.
Probably the earliest oystering on
this coast was done at San Francisco
away before the days of the '49ers. In
1851 six men from San Francisco char
tered the schooner Robert Bruce and
set sail for Shoalwater bay. Wash.
some 20 miles above the mouth of the
mighty Columbia. They were con-
WINGED from Indian reports and other
wise that oysters were abundant there.
and this they found to be true.
Coming to anchor on the north shore
of the bay at point later called
Bruceport, they began to lay plans to
tong" a shipload of the bays best,
but the ships cook fell out with the
company and in an evil hour set the
Schooner afre that he might work his
spite upon Capt. ludlow and his crew.
Among the men that came on the
Bruce, John S. Morgan has been most
successful. For years he lived in the
old village of Oyserville. across the
beautiful bay where he saw his first
venture go IN in smoke San Francis
co now numbers him among her mary
millionaires.

Mr.. BRYAN's OpINION

The plan of guaranteed bank de-
posts has probably found favor,
among all classes of people and IT.
respective of political afSliation,
more rapidly than any other public
question.
The state of Oklahoma has al
ready enacted a law taxing state
banks, the fupd thus accumulated
to be used in paying the depositors
of any state bank that from any
cause becomes unable to meet its
obligations. A special session of
the Kansas Legislature was called
for the purpose Of enacting legisla-
ton similar to the Oklahoma
plan. The governor of Nebraska
is considering the advisability of
calling a special session of the leg
islature on account of the growing
belief among the people that pro-
lection to bank depositors in the
form of state or federal guarantees
of their deposits will stop the
boarding of money, bring into cir
culation sufficient currency to con-
duct the business of the country,
and prevent a recurrence of such
disastrous panics as the one
through which we are now passing.
Mr.. Bryan has been an advocate
of law guaranteeing deposits in
state and national banks since 1909.
The legislature of Ohio has adopt
ed a joint resolution inviting Mr..
Bryan to address its members in
joint session February IS, 1908, on
the subject of Guaranteed Bank
Deposits.
Mr.. Bryan, in discussing the tar
if question, insists that residents of
the United States should be per-
mitted to buy homemade goods
at home at as low price as the
foreigner can buy American made
goods abroad. He also insists that
our government should be by and
for the people as a whole, rather
than by and for the trusts, and adj
ministered in the interest of few
benehciaries of the trust system.
He believes that national legisla-
ton for the purpose of better regu-
lation and control of interstate
commerce and common carriers
should supplement state legisla-
ton, and not be a substitute for
stale legislation.
Mr.. Bryan's paper, The Com
moner, reflects his opinions each
week on questions of public i'm
portance and in its columns may
be found his magazine articles,
public speeches, addresses and lee
lures, which are referred to in the
daily press from day to day.
If you are interested in political
questions, if you desire to keep in
touch with the progress of the
campaign and to read Mr.. Bryan's
campaign speeches send sixty cents
to The Commoner, and the paper
will be sent to you each week I'M
til the close of the next presiden-
tial campaign.
Postoffice money order, currency
or stamps will be accepted. Only

moner, Lincoln, Neb.

TIE MODERN TAxIDERMlsT
Must Be Possessed Of All the Wood
craft Of Trained Hunter and
Experienced Naturalist.

To understand the work of the modern
taxidermist, it is best to accompany him
on hunting trip in search of material;
for, like the sculptor and the painter,
the animal modeler, as this expert also
calls himself, studies his subjects in
their wild and natural state. Aside from
being sculptor and an artist with both
pencil and camera, he is possessed of all
the woodcraft of a trained hunter and
an experienced naturalist, says Grandon
Nevins. in Pearson's Magazine. He
must know when and where to find his
game; how to steal upon the willy quarry,
not merely within gunshot, but within
the range of his lens He must be pre-
pared to tramp miles through wilderness
on the trail of startled herd. Like the
big game hunter, hunger, thirst and ex-
haustion are his at the end of days
work, and not infrequently months pass
before he has succeeded in sketching or
in swapping his subjects in sufficiently
picturesque poses to guide him in his fu-
ture work
The task OF taking these pictures. how
ever, is mere incident compared with
other field work in which, often, the ex-
pert spends as many months as it takes
him to complete the long, interesting
process OF mounting his group Rarely
it happens that the peaceful hunter can
snap" a herd on sufficiently striking
landscape, and to find this latter
requisite itself involves a hunt. Once
found, the real work begins, for, as it
were, the entire scene must be dissected.
Each rock is photographed from sew
eral different view points, measurements
are taken and noted, and samples of the
local rocks are taken to enable accurate
imitation of the coloring and the grain.
In some cases, rocks are transported
bodily, as are also, size and weight per-
hitting, saplings and tree trunks. Notes
and measurements, and photographs of
leaves and grass and shrubs and berries,
are made individually and collectively,
and many of the original specimens are
gathered and shipped direct to head
quarters. Molds are made of leaves and
fruits and flowers-as many as 80 molds
OF the same kinds of leaf, in order to
secure diversity of form and outline. On
each leaf. plaster of Paris is poured just
as it is about to harden, and then each
mold is carefully packed and prepared
for transportation out of the wilderness
In the case OF bird rock group, plaster
molds were taken even of half-eaten
fishes, while the original, delicate, half
broken egg shells were gathered, to-
gether with the legs and feet of a num-
Der of various sized birds, to be used in
forging Impressions of bird tracks on
the white, yielding sand.
In the case of a single moose group
shown in the American Museum of Nat
ural History, in New York, six months
were required for this preliminary field
work, and the hoofs of a score of car
casses were removed, simply to insure
variety in the tracks on the trail of the
game as mounted.

"ln the work we of this genera

leHT AuMoR
The Medicine Lodge Cresset, in

The Medicine Lodge Cresset, in
discussing the deposit law, says:
eff the state guarantee matter is
taken u9 again we are in favor of car
rying the idea out to its logical con-
cluSion. If the state is going to guar
antee bank deposits it should guaran-
tee everything. When the farmer
prepares his ground and plants his
wheat he should be guaranteed fair
return for his labor and rest in peace
and comfort that he will reap as much
per acre whether it rains or not,
whether the hot winds search him
out and wither him or the balmy
breeZeS watt across his whiSkerS each
and every day. 1t is well known that
the trouble with the cattle business is
for the COW man to be assured of a
calf crop. Let the state guarantee
every farmer and Stockman with an
of the care the owner takes of his
stuff. Every merchant should be
guaranteed safe and profitable re-
turn on his investment in his stock of
goods regardless of his trade and his
ability as business man. And so on
down the line. Let the state guaran-
tee everything and then why should
not everybody be happy. Why worry
about who shall pay the guaranty? Is
not the great state behind the whole
business? Why worry and work when
everybody can be made happy with
state guarantees? Then we should
have state commissions at good, fat
salaries, to look after each product
guaranteed. This would make more
offices and help increase taxes. By all
means, if we go into the guarantee
business, let US go into it right"
Conversely: If an individual is
not entitled to security, then coun-
ties, states and municipalities that
require security for money deposit
ed in banks are doing wrong. The
banker who is unwilling to secure
a depositor has no reason for re
curing a dePositor to put up Sc
curity when he gets a loan from
the bank.
Is any person, outside of the
Cresset office, so stupid as to be un-
able to see the difference between
cold cash in a bank, entrusted to
the care of another man or set of
men, and an implanted and unma-
tured crop? If a man plants crop
and fails to reap one, it is certain
that no man has gotten away with
it. He knew the nature of the
venture before he engaged in it
and was willing to take his
chances. So with the merchant
But the man with cash in hand
who takes it to his banker is emit
tied to be assured that his money
is safe. 1t is his, he has earned it
the period of chance and specu-
lation in his case has passed.
But if the banker is relieved of
the responsibility of security, the
borrower should be entitled to the
same privilege. Or if an individu-
al is not entitled to security when
he deposits money in a bank
neither is county.
A guarantee deposit law conten-
plates small tax on banks to de-
fray the expenses, and there's the
rub.
