WALL STREET IN DOUBT
 OPENINGS FOR BEARS
Yet There Was a Slight Advance in
 Hartman Properties.

New York, Aug 27.-The stock market made some recovery today, but the undertone was uncertain. It is plain that the drastic liquidation of the previous three days left number of weak spots at which the aggressive bear party might renew its operations. The news of Harriman's health was not altogether encouraging, and Wall street is primarily interested in the future of the Hartman properties. One of the features was the persistent pressure brought to bear upon United States steel. It was freely offered, and before noon went below the previous days low price. First prices here were all up, from IF in Union Pacific to 2h in Southern Pacific. with numerous other issues higher by a point The bond market was ire gular. with much less business than on the previous day. Total sales s4,747,000. No changes in government bonds.

TuberCular Stock
Is Ordered Killed

According to the Anacortes Ameri-
can of September %, DR.. G. S Phillips,
deputy state veterinarian, assisted by
De- G F. Wood, of Anacortes, at the
request of Anacorues men, called at
the ranch of Henry Hayekost on Bur-
rows Bay few days ago. and inspect
ed a herd of cattle. This herd COM
prised apparently some of the finest
steers in the state. but three OF the
animals upon being killed and exam
lned, exhibited undoubted signs OF
tuberculosis. The balance OF the
herd, which mum bers about thirty
will be given the test for tubercnlo
sis, and all those which show signs
of infection will be killed. The vet
erinarians in commenting upon this
instance took occasion to sound warn
ing to ranchers not to be satisfied by
the appearance of their stock. Stock.
may be infected and capable OF
spreading infection and still be In
apparently the best of conditioa. Il
is the intention of the state deputy to
cause pretty general inspection OF
the herds of the county"
So far as we have been able to
learn the dairy herds in this county
are in healthy condition but the note
of warning given to Skagit county
stockmen should also be heeded in
this county as we'll as in all the coun-
ties of the state. Cattle or sheep
owners cannot be over cautious when
it comes to looking after diseases OF
any nature among stock and II the
slightest sign of i'll health is shown
the state veterinarian should be noti-
fed at once.

In Canadian Waters

turned here from Victoria. Monday.
and brought several fine specimens of
bluepoint oysters taken from the ovs-
ter bed at anoos bay with him. The
seed for these was planted several
years ago by the Canadian govern
ment, as an experiment.. and Mr.. Steel
says the venture has proven to be very
successful. The oysters are of aver
age uniform size. lie flavor and have
multiplied very rapidly. Mr.. Steel
and his associates. through their
attorneys, Bernard & Robertson. of
Victoria. have acquired 1873 acres Of
oyster lands situated on Nanoos tay,
Vancouver island, about ten miles
from and directly opposite the city
of Vancouver. They intend, as soon
as they can get the seed to plant sew
eral barrels, and Mr.. Steel states that
IN the event the venture proves success
full his company. the Nanoos Bay
Oyster Company. can begin harvest
ing and shipping oysters in three
years. and by planting every year can
ship each year thereafter. He says
that 1t is bis intention to dispose Of
his interest in the Pearl Oyster Co.
which owns large beds on the Samish
fats. and devote his entire time to
the new company. Seed oysters. he
says. cost So barrel. multiply
very rapidly under favorable condi
tions and IN three ears time should
be sufficiently large to command
price of $50 90 per barrel. 1t has
been stated upon good authority that
successful oyster growers in nearly
all instances are netted return OF
