In Maryland both as to the size and
quality OF the catch.
There ought to be further increase !
in the catch within the next few years,
for the Shellnsh Commission, which
has long been busy surveying the nat
ural oyster beds of the Chesapeake
and its tributaries will complete its
survey during the current year, and
after that oyster planting will be more
actively resumed than ever, for after
the report of the Commission has been
officially approved, private capitalists
bottoms, and the state viii derive in
time a large revenue from this source
Oystermen Wideawake Now.
There is always the possibility that
the matter of leasing barren bottoms
may be so administered as to narrow
the limits OF the free natural beds, but
the self employing oystermen are
pretty wide awake to the danger Of
encroachment upon the natural beds,
and they will not submit without q
legislative or judicial and II need be a
physical fight 10 protect public prop
erty from private monopoly. On the
other hand Maryland has for the fu-
of conservation" in view of the waste
ful fashion in which the oystermen
work the natural beds The oyster
man who is most jealous of encroach-
ment by private capitalists upon the
free oyster deposits is apt to be as
Indifferent 20 posterity as the most ar
dent landgrabber of Alaska or the
West
1t is the delicate task Of the oyster
Navy to stand as a daysman betwiNt
the private owner and the self-employ-
ing oysterman. and on the other hand
between the self-employing oysterman
and that great public, lying not only
in Maryland but far beyond its bounds
which is vitally interested in the con-
servation of the natural deposits.
For the execution of this task, and
for the collection of tho revenue from
oystermen, Gamers, and others, Mary
land maintains her navy and a paid
fisheries force Of about $50 men. The
navy musters two steamers. each with
deck gun forward, and q number Of
rifles; twelve sailing craft also pro-
vided with arms against the enemies
Of the state, and six motor boats the
last named much used in the actual
capture of Offenders against the oyster
laws. The waters have so long been
effectually patrolled that anything like
violence is almost unknown in the po-
lice work of the Oyster Navy. Cap
tain Howard and his subalterns seldom
or never fire a shot even by way Of
warning, and a word of command
from the pilot house of the flagship
instantly fetches an offending oyster
man with his bugeye alongside the
ship to explain his laches.
Some such offenders come with the
moral certainty that they will be towed
into the nearest port, tried by a local
justice holding court in the saloon OF
the flagship, and roundly fined or i'm
prisoned. AS a promoter of peace the
Maryland oyster Navy ranks high
among the navies of the world.

THERE NEVER WILL

WASHINGTON. May 17-Strictly
speaking, Senator Burton of Ohio may
not be a woman hater but --
Preceding a recent function here the
society editor of a Washington paper
determined to describe the gowns Of all
the Senator's wives present.
''Atr. Senator, she said as she accosted
the Ohio statesman, will you be kind
enough 20 tell me what sort OF a gown
Mrs Burton will wear?"
Taking his eyeglasses from his pocket
and putting them carefully upon his
nose the Senator fixed the girl with a
glance that nailed her to the mast and
frigidly replied:

and If 1 have anything to say about

OYSTER NAVY
GUARDS BEDS
Maryland Fleet Captain Wide
Awake to See That BiVaIveS
are Protected

CAMBRIDGE. Md. May 12.--E. n.
Vallindigham in Philadelphia Record
That provision of the Federal Con-
stitution which says that no state
shall, without the consent Of Congress, !
keep ships of war in time Of peace, |
does not prevent Maryland from main !
tanning her "Oyster Navy" Perhaps
Maryland thinks there never is "a
time OF peace" in her oyster waters,
for certain it is that but for the vigil |
lance Of the navy the oyster laws of
the State would be constantly violated
by her own citizens and the oyster
waters would be frequently invaded by
oystermen from Virginia.
Thomas c. b. Howard. who modestly
wears the title of Captain although he
rs the Admiral of the oyster Navy, says
that for quantity and for quality this
oyster season of 1909-1O has been one
of the greatest that Maryland has
known in the new century.
The natural oyster rocks" from
which any licensed citizen of the state
may catch oysters without asking leave
of any fellow man, and which may not
be converted into private property,
were never in better condition, and
Captain Howard says that Maryland
for the time being has more oysters
than she knows what to do with. The
average price the season through for
oysters at wholesale in the oyster ports
of the Chesapeake and its tributaries,
has been twenty-five cents a bushel
which is about the average price of
oysters per dozen on the half shell
in city restaurants, not frequented by
gilded youth. The whole sale price of
Maryland oysters in the home Of their
birth has beeen just half of that.
Supply Was Threatened.
1t is not many years since the reck-
less waste of the Maryland oyster
catchers threatened, in the opinion Of
experts, TO reduce dangerously the
supply of oysters on the natural beds.
Nature, however, came TO the rescue
with two dry summers which short
ened the crops ashore, but enriched
those Of the Chesapeake. Summer
drought is favorable TO the natural
oyster beds, for it lessons the volume
of fresh water carried into the bay by
its tributaries and the amount Of al
luvial deposit upon the beds. Such de-
posits often smother the young oysters.
A dry summer gives the oyster spat a
chance to take hold and develop. As
matter of fact it is the opinion OF
Captain Howard that some of the oys-
ters upon the natural beds should be
removed before the beginning of the
next oyster season, as the lower de-
posits are likely 20 be destroyed.
The chief oyster "shucking" ports
Baltimore, st. Michaes Tilghman's
Island, oxford Cambridge, Crisheld
and Annapolis have opened during tho
season of 1909-1O about 100000 BUSH
els of oysters double the quantity open
ed in 1867 and half a million more
than were opened in 190S-9.
In fact, the oyster beds of the Mary
land waters have taken new lease
OF life, and the prospect OF the oyster
? beds is, in the absence of unusually
, severe storms, that the season Of 1910.
IL will be one of the best ever Snowr
