Plant LObsterS at Yaquina.
Planning to increase the failing lob
ster supply, the United States Fisheries
Department will transplant carload
| in the waters of Yaquina Bay
Whether the Holsters will thrive there
is not yet known, but it is though
conditions are right for them. Lob
sters demand a rocky bottom, without
silt deposited by nearby rivers, which
is the case at Yaquina. This is the rea
son assigned for the failure of exper
iments made heretofore in trying tt
grow Holsters in Pacific waters. Sena
tor Bourne has been agitating tn
matter and has secured the promis
of Fish Commissioner Bowers to maxi
the experiment at Yaquina.

have been made from the East t

these events will attract large mum
bers of people and the rates are t
be as attractive as those made las
wear for the Alaska Yukon-Paciftc eX
position. These fares should be tn
means of giving thousands of tourist

coming summer.
