Several vessels of this city, or we'll

the river Thursday night Of last week.
The two-masted bay schooner James A.

glass.making sand, was caught In the
blow in the lower river, and before her
sails could be furled the foresail was
blown out of the bolt ropes and the jib
staysail and other canvas were badly
torn. Damages are being repaired at
Alexandria, and the vessel will be fitted
with new sails from her home port.
The pungy John H. Davis. while COM
ing to this city with a cargo. lost her big
mainsail in the gale and had other sails
torn. She. too. is repairing damage and
will be fitted with new sails by her own
erS.
The Baltimore schooner Helen G. JUS
tice, we'll known visitor to this port,

Money Paid for Railway Fares.

There is an exhibition of folly down
here that surpasses anything in the way
of bad management have ever seen.
The oyster companies bring from Loo to
100 people. mostly Poles, from Balti-
more in October of every year to work
In their packing houses and send them
back In April. Each man. woman and
child has his or her railway fare paid
both ways by his employer. and the rate
is $3.50 each way. or S25 for the round
trip. A simple mathematical calculation
will demonstrate that If 1000 people are
brought down. and that ! believe is the
minimum their transportation alone &C SITS
1000 year, and this has been going
on for more than twenty years.
At the least calculation half million
dollars has been paid by the five packing
houses at Biloxi for railway fares alone
in bringing help from the north when the
greater part of this migratory labor would
be glad to settle down here II proper in
ducements were offered them. They make
excellent farmers and gardeners, and
their work in the packing houses keeps
them employed only about five months in
the year. 1t would be measure of econ
omy for the people of the town to buy
farms and garden patches and build
cabins free of cost for as many as would
be willing to stay. They could raise vege-
tables enough to supply the entire town
and the neighbOring villages and resorts
and ship large quantities to the northern
market.
II the $4,000 a year that is paid for
railway fares were invested in that way,
or IL 1t were loaned to Polish families to
assist them in buying garden plots and
building homes. they would contribute to
the permanent welfare of the community
and become valuable citizens. while none
Of the railroad fares ever come back. Oc-
casionally some Of the packers do stay.
and they have all prospered. but few have
gone into farming.
Nearly all the vegetables. the potatoes.
the cabbages. the beets and all the fruit
that is eaten at Biloxi is shipped in here
from New Orleans. Yet during the sum-
mer months a large portion of the popu-
lation employed in the oyster business Is
idle.

Cottages for Over Four Miles.


The shell road. which runs twenty-five
miles along the beach. begins at Biloxi.
and for four miles and a half there is
continuous line of cottages and bunga-
lows. each with a long pier that extends
out into the sound. A trolley railroad
runs parallel with the shore for fourteen
miles TO Long Beach. and will be ex-
tended to Pass Christian next summer.
The beach is lined the entire distance
with far-spreading and aged oak trees,
with hoary boards of hanging moss.
which gives them a picturesque appear
ance. and many Of the gardens are hand
sonely laid out with palmettos, palms.

Gus kinds of foliage and towering plants,

tract of about eighty acres. crowded
with all kinds and sizes of cottages.
boarding houses. pavilion restaurants
and auditoriums. where from ! 100 to
$50 people gather during the summer
months for religious conferences and lee
lures. Several of the churches in the
conference have their own boarding
houses or club houses. and many indi-
viduals have cottages. which are occupied
by their families during the summer
months.
All these visitors contribute to the BUSH
| ness activity Of Biloxi. but the fortunes
of the town are wrapped up In the oys-
| ter trade. and there are five packing
houses. owned by local capitalists, two
of them said to be the largest establish
ments of their kind in the world Biloxi

Dependent on the Oyster.

denends upon the demand for oysters.
They are to be found without limit at
the bottom of Mississippi sound. and the
factories of Biloxi can can as many as
the world will eat. The finest residences
and business blocks. the schools. the
churches, the laeater and almost every
thing else have been paid for with oyster
money and everybody who is not de-
nendent upon the oyster trade lives off
the summer bOarders. There is fleet
of nearly 400 boats engaged In dredging
for oysters and every one or them was
built back of the town on Biloxi river.
There are factories for making the boxes
for packing the oysters over near the
boat yards, and ,curiousl. enough, they
are made Of green wood fresh from the
sawmill, and are spread out In the nelds
to dry.
The oyster dredgers 60 out twenty-five
to thirty miles into the sound. mostly to-
the westward. Some OF them come In
every night with their loads; others stay
out during the entire season and send
their catch in daily by freight boats. The
packing houses pay As and 80 cents bar
rel for ordinary oysters, and the raw
men," as they call those who ship oysters
In bulk to the various cities and other
markets throughout the south pay from
Is to 80 cents a barrel for. the better quail
ity The state, which owns the oyster
beds. gets royalty of 2 cents barrei.
and then buys back the shells for cent
barrel to replant the oyster beds and
to use for making roads.
The packing houses have the most inn
proved processes and are fitted up with
labor saving machinery similar to the
fruit-packing houses in Maryland, Della
ware Michigan and other states. About
1900 people are employed during the
months that contain the letter r.. In
May and June shrimps and crab meat are
put up by the same people. and few figs
in August but no vegetables, because
there are none to be had.
Demand for Vegetables.
Across the bay and along the rivers are
unnumbered acres of dry. rich land that
has never been plowed. and can be bought
for a song. There is a steady local de-
mand for early vegetables. and Biloxi is
on a direct line of railway to dozen
large cities where an unlimited quantity
of garden truck could be delivered within
twenty-four hours. / wrote you the other
day what a colony of farmers from
YOUNGSTOWN are doing at Long Beach,
only a few miles from here. and the
people Of Biloxi might do the same II they
were not SO lazy and Indifferent. But
they do not seem to care anything about

This is indeed a land of wasted oppor-
tunities" The progressive people OF the
CITY are beginning to think seriously of
