QUEEN OF THE CHESAPEAKE.

The Baltimore Star of Friday says:

IL cylinders, length of 60 feet of pol
ished mahogany and with beam of
eight feet, she is sure enough the real
greyhound for these waters.
Anchored off the Baltimore Motor
Yacht Club, at Ferry Bar, the Mystery
is the magnet for the attention of all
IN that vicinity. She was built last
spring by Lawler at Boston and was
thoroughly tried out at Bar Harbor
before her departure for this city. She
came by the outside route from Bos-
ton to New York and demonstrated
herself not only to speed marvel, but
seaworthy craft. From New York she
came to this city by canal
Mr.. Cochran formerly owned the
Dreadnough that he sold to A. Stanley
ZelI. Mr.. Cochran wanted more speed
and the Dreadnough could roll off but
a paltry rs miles an hour. What the
Mystery can do will now be shown in
these waters, it is proposed and if one |
should see streak going up or down
The PatapscO or Chesapeake it is the
best bet that it is the Mystery. Her
speed capacity was demonstrated to be

AN ECHO FROM THE MOUNTAINS
[Buena Vista Prince /

Several OF our esteemed contempor-
aries have recently seen fit to criticize
very severely the actions of Mr..
Mcdonald Lee, Chairman of the Board
OF Fisheries, during the recent trouble
with the oyster tongers and we are at
loss to understand why they should
do so, unless some of them are sore
because they couldn't get Mr.. Lees
job for some of their friends. 1t is
always the man who is out that has q
grievance and who will always say that
the man who is ''in" is not doing his
duty as he should. In some cases we
: can understand why the newspapers
have been so bitter in their criticism
but as to the Supreme we do not under
stand why they have been so bitter
against Mr.. Lee and all other matters
which are for the betterment of the
condition of affairs in the State. The
actions of MIR. Lee in the recent trouble
are to be- commended by every conser-
vative man in the State. He has
handled the situation in a most excel
lent manner and to the satisfaction of
the people. Actions speak louder than
words. and in this case Mr.. Lee has not
talked but has acted, and acted wisely. |
His being able to handle the situation
without calling on the State for troops
Is very cOmmendable. Mr.. Lee was an
pointed to see that the law was obeved
and he is going to do so and while in /
refusing to shoot when cowardly LOT |
of men took refuge behind a lot of wo- |
men and children he did a very diplomat
tic piece of work; still we hardly think
some men would have done SO. 1t was
kind act on the part of Mr.. Lee and
an act any gentleman would do for a
woman.
Mr.. Lee is able to handle the situa-
ton and it is up to the Supreme and
other newspapers to let him alone. In
conclusion we wish to say that a GER
tain editor on the eastern shore, who
was a candidate for position on the
Board and didn't get the appointment.
is to be congratulated for the manner
in which he has spoken through the
columns Of his paper in regard to the
situation.

IMPROVED OYSTER CONDITIONS.

Commenting on the argument of tn,
Times-Dispatch and the Roanoke Time.
for renting out the rocks the Norfolk
Virginian-Pilot has this to say:
ITO say that, under the closed season
law, the Gull law and the numerous
other laws regulating the taking of
oysters from the natural rocks and
bottoms, longing is ''unre stricted" is
to utter manifest absurdity; while to
contend that working these rocks
and bottoms under the conditions pre-
scribed is to destroy them is to ignore
or to confess. ignorance of the actual
conditions in the oyster fields. While
it is true that some of the natural
rocks and bottoms in certain sections
have suffered partial and temporary
depletion under the existing policy,
anybody who knows the facts in the
case knows that the fault has not been
with therpolicy itself but in errors and
laxity in the, administration of it.
Properly administered. under efficient
regulations efficiently enforced, the
present oyster policy Of Virginia is
amply adequate not alone TO conserva-
ton of the States natural rocks and
bottoms. but to restoration of them to
the maximum productivity and value. |
OF this fact abundant and conclusive
demonstration is furnished by the vast
ly improved condition of the States
seed beds which has followed |
upon improved administration of the
laws designed for their protection and
development by the Fisheries Board
during the last few years; for it is
generally admitted fact that conditions
in this respect, not alone in james
river. but in Tangier sound and other
waters of the Commonwealth. are the
best today they have been for the last
decade"

WHERE THE soRA GO.

Much mystery has surrounded
the coming and going of the
teothsome sora. As they have
been seen seldom in flight, and
as at the time of leaving (iust
before frost) they are too fat To
fly more than a few yards4yet
disappearing within a night
many have thought these birds
buried themselves in the marsh
mud. Those studying their hab-
its have always believe they take
fight-though strange that they
should lose their fat in a night
and the following from the Erred
ericksburg Free Lance would seem
TO confirm their opinion:
Hundreds of sora went over the city
Saturday morning. They were fiying
so low that the street lights blinded
them. One flew against the tra1som of
Wailace's shoe store and another flew
against telegraph pole and was S;lled.
1t is thought they were flying South.
