Mr.. Clanton will make a special trip
to Yaquina bay in the near future,
and will make thorough investiga-
tien into both the lobster and oyster
questions.
Deputy Warden Cor, in discussing
the oyster propagation question,
which has developed into quite an
important industry at Yaquina bay.
makes the assertion that the spat of
the oyster in its natural instinct to
seize upon and cling to the first OBJ
ject with which 1t comes into con-
tact after being Matched, will fasten
upon the starfish. which lies at the
bottom OF the harbor or bay, and that
Its life is sucked out by the suckers
or tentacles of the starflsh, and, con-
sequently destroyed. Just to what
extent this is responsible for the de-
struction OF the oyster spat. and the
depletion of the supply in the oyster
beds, is not known, but Warden Clan
ton thinks It an interesting subject
for investigation.

UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.l
Washington, Oct. 31.-Within the
next two or three weeks F. S. Hol
brook, assistant physicist of the United
States bureau of standards, will, II is
announced today, visit Seattle, Taco
ma, Olympia, Spokane and possibly
other coast cities, to get a line upon
the extent to which short weight
scales and short measures are being
used by the grocers and provision
dealers of those cities. J.. Similar In
vestigations have been conducted by
the bureau in the cities of the East,
with rather startling results.
The bureau OF standards, acting un-
der a special appropriation made by
congress. is endeavoring to learn to
what extent the people of large cities
are being defrauded by their dealers,
especially dealers in the necessities Of
life. The government is powerless
to prosecute dealers of defrauding
their customers by giving them un-
derweight, for this is the function
which belongs. to the states. But by
learning something of the extent to
which the public is being "buncoed"
the government hopes to awaken a
sentiment which will lead to renewed
activity on the part of the state and
municipal authorities, who are sup
posed to suppress this fraud.
