Winant Winnowings.

The majority of the population
here are busily engaged at their
trade of 'oystering." They report
the bivalves fat and thriving.
Several private beds now yield a
fair income, that were propagated
artificially by enterprising citizens.
This industry has grown to an ex-
tent not generally realized by the
people OF Oregon. The results OBJ
tanned from the large imported
japanese oysters were not encourag-
ing. Our State Biologist, Albert
K. Sweetser, reported this winter
that the introduction of Eastern
cy"ters into Yaquina ended in flat
failure owing to the low temper
ature OF the water, but the native
oysters on the natural beds should
be protected and increased in
Yaquina bay, Coos bay and Other
points along our coast.
The Fourth Biennial Report of
the State Biologist contains much
interesting information concerning
denizens of water and air.
AT the present writing though
the sky is gray, and a few strangers
from the inland desert complain
that our air is as wet as water, thu
earth is green and wild flowers ar,
aglow with beauty.

TRIAL DAYS Of THE
CROSBYS ARE FIXED.

from Secretary F. w. Sterling, of the
Greenwood Business League, which is
in part as follows:
During the past ten days the ques,
ton of reduction of passenger rates in
the state to two cents per mile has
been before our organization and af-
ter a very thorough canvass of the
business men they are found to be a
unit against this proposed reduction
l am instructed to write to you as
their personal representative and ask
that you use for them-your consti-
uents-your best efforts to prevent
this order from being passed by the
railroad commission. The Business
League of Greenwood is composed of
business firms, corporations and pro-
fessional men, representing substan-
TALLY the entire business interests of
the city, and we are sure that you will
give this request your careful consid-
GRAFTON and advise US by early mail
that you can comply"
Another letter directed by Secre-
tary Sterling is addressed to the COM
mission and states that "the members
of this organization have instructed
that this urgent and emphatic request
against any change in the railroad pas
senger rates of the state forwarded
to your honorable body"
A batch of more than $50 letters
written by the most prominent busi-
ness men, manufacturers and mer-
chants of the towns of Crystal Springs,
Brookhaven, Hazlehurst and Wesson,
was filed with the commission this
morning. Some of these letters are
quite lengthy and discuss the subject
quite earnestly. The towns named are
all in Commissioner Lees district, and
many of the letters are addressed to
him personally.

MANY PROTESTS
AGAINST REDUCTION
Commissioner Scott Is the Center of
the Fight, and Is Receiving Many
Letters from His Own District
Railroad Men Present.

JACKSON, Miss, May 1S.-The
State Railroad Commission met here
today to consider the resolution of
Mr.. Scott to reduce the passenger rate
on railroads in the state to two cents.
A large majority of the cities and
towns of the state, through their
boards of trade and commercial or
ganizations, have submitted petitions
to the railroad commission protesting
against the proposed revision of the
passenger rate, and when the commits
sion met this morning it found itself
confronted with formidable array of
documents of this character.
The various railroads will have
their passenger traffic managers in
attendance and the session promises
to be one of unusual interest.
Commissioner Scott is the central
figure in the controversy, by reason
of the fact that he introduced the res
olution requiring the railroads to show
cause why rates should not be re
vised.
Commissioner Lee still declines to
say what he is going to do about it.
Commissioner Webb has from the
start opposed any attempt at revi-
sion.
Scores of letters, petitions and pro
tests, bearing thousands of signatures
were filed with the Mississippi Rail
road Commission this morning pro
testing against the proposed revision
of passenger rates in this state.
The number of documents of this
character received from Commission
er's Scott's district were notably large,
and this is viewed with much signifi-
cance in view of the fact that Mr.
Scott is the only member of the com
mission who is openly advocating
revision of rates. One of the letters
directed personally to Mr. Scott is

BATTLESHIP IS
At BAYOU SARA
LEAVES ANCHOR IN MUD AT
BATON ROUGE.
The Vessel Is Held at Thomas Bend,
Off DEVILS Island Until Heavy Fog
Lifts and Makes Navigation Safe.

BAYOU SARA, La, May 1S.-The
battleship Mississippi reached here
shortly before 10 o'clock this morning
and anchored in the channel.
The Father of Waters" today
levied toll on the ship that bears his
name and collected it too. When the
anchors were raised just before leav-
ing Baton Rouge, the cable on the
port side came up minus its anchor
The big heavy piece OF steel had be-
come lodged in the mud and the cable
broke in an effort to raise it.
AS the battleship passed the wreck
of the old warship Mississippi, which
was sunk near Port Hudson, during
the civil war; national salute OF
twenty-one guns was fired, the colors
We're dipped and the band struck up
the Star Spangled Banner. A heavy
fog made navigation dangerous this
morning when the batLleship was
turning Thomas Bend, off Devils
swamp. Captain Fremont held the
vessel until the fog lifted and the
journey was then resumed.
BATON ROUGE, La, May 1S.-The
battleship Mississippi left Baton
Rouge promptly at G o'clock this
morning and started on the trip to
Bayou Sara, which will be the only
stopping place between Baton Rouge
and NatcheZ.
Soundings taken show a minimum
depth of 43 feet in the channel, all
the way to Natchez, so no fear of a
disaster is entertained.

WILD MAN Living LIKE
A BEAST IS CAPTURED

With matted hair hanging to his
waist and finger nails from three to
three and one half inches long, Marion
Whitehead, a so called wild man of
Jeff Davis county was captured near
Bassfield last Sunday evening about
dark and is now in confinement in
the county Jail at Prentiss. Whitehead
is a weak minded creature who disap-
peared from home about five yeirs
ago and since that time has been liv-
ing with. the wild beasts of the forests
wearing no clothes and subsis ing on
what he could find in the woods. His
hair and long beard is matted with
resin and his body is covered with
the same substance, so that he pre-
sented terrifying presence when cap,
tured by the officers.
This wild creature is about twenty

one years old, weighs about las pounds
and stands feet and inches and
when seen some years ago with a shot
gun on his shoulder and pistol buck
led to his body, it was no wonder
that those who heard about him
thought that he was truly a wild man.
For the past year the mother of the
young man has known of his whre-
abou,s. but has only carried his food
to a certain spot to which he came
daily taking what she had prepared
for him and hurrying away.
The unfortunate man will be taken
to an asylum, though his parents
preferred to let him continue to
live his wild state, as they regard him
as harmless and feel that he would
be much better off If left to himself
in the woods where he has lived for
the past five years.
