CONFERENCE ON
OYSTERS WEDNESDAY.

The oyster has at last succeeded in
gaining the ear of the public. Hereto
fore he has tickled only the palate, but
his cause is to be heard and in the
course of the general interest in the
conservation of natural resources, pub
lie attention is to be turned from
forests and mines to the ocean bottom
where lies helpless to improve his lot
one of the most important of natural
resources, the oyster. This friend of
humankind is no longer to continue in
his primitive state, but is to be culti-
waited along lines that will make him
better oyster, although he is not
capable of much progress and seems to
perfer a sedentary life.
But the oyster is to have new i'm
portance, .as the first meeting of ma
tional association, recently formed, is
to be held to-day. at the New York
Aquarium, the first annual convention
of shellfsh commissioners, Of which
Charles r. Bacon, chief of New Jer-
sey's Bureau of Shellfsheries, is first
president. An article in VanNorden
Magazine for May, by Robert Sloss,
treats of the "Uplift for the Oyster. :"
Over 80, 900, 900 bushels annually are
lifted from their beds, but the oyster
is to receive an 'uplift' of different
kind. The fact that the oyster has
been so good as to provide product
worth $50, 900, 900, yearly and for
which something like $500, 900, 900 have
been invested makes his habits and
capabilities worth inquiring about.
The mortality of the oyster is an i'm
portant question. While the material
oyster has a numerous progeny only
small percentage comes to maturity
and less thar thirty per cent. comes
from natural beds The coming con-
vention will consider means for pro.
tecting the oyster in it's benefcent
work for mankind and the best meth
ods of planting and cultivating it in
the artificial beds. 1t is to be protect
ed from the ravages of its enemies,
the starfish in the North, and the
drumfish, ray and the conch, in the
South; also from pollution in the vicin.
ity of large cities. Especially will a
movement be undertaken to secure the
extension of State control over all
areas suitable for the cultivation OF
shellfsh and the encouragement of the
{ oyster to do its best.

Removing the Big Trestle.

Sometime since the stone contrac.
tors who are doing the work upon the
County buildings, began the erection
of lot tof frame work upon the site of
the structure. The framework was for
the purpose of swinging the stone in
place about the building, It being the
idea of the contractor oVplace the
stone on all sides of the building from
this frame work apparatus. AS the
skeleton like scaffolding kept going
sup in the air, Contractor Harry Han
Skins's attention was directed to the
matter. Yesterday he came to the
conclusion that the construction was
exceedingly dangerous, and he feared
8that an unusual gale would carry the
Thing down and do damage. He
fhereupon ordered the trestle down.
the stone contractor demurred, but
MT. Hankins would not take the risk
and insisted upon its removal.
