OYSTERS ARE IN DEMAND.
Cargoes Brought by Schooners Are
Quickly Sold

Oysters in the shell are in heavy de-
mand and this morning the oyster wharf
was crowded with wagons loading oys-
tiers to be taken to the dealers uptown.
The schooners Thomas w. Kirby and
John r. Dixon, which arrived here
Thursday morning in tow of the tug
Camilla, brought about 1900 bushels Of
the bivalves from the lower river beds,
but by noon yesterday they had sold
out and were ready to hoist sail and
start down the river again after another
load.
The schooner John Branford, which
had started to sail up the river. but was
forced to turn back by the ice coming
down, was picked up by the tug Camilla
and brought here yesterday, and later
in the day the tug also brought the
schooner Majestic into port. The power
boat Julia Blanche also came to the
oyster wharf under her own power. and
is lying at the wharf.
The three vessels have aboard about
LOO bushels Of Potomac oysters, which
they have loaded in the last week, and
which are in good condition. Judging
from the rapidity with which they are
selling they will be out by tomorrow
night. The oysters at the wharf are sell
ing at from 60 to 65 cents per bushel.

"A comparative study Of religions is

belief with Christianity. The comparison
is desirable, also, for Christianity is free

ANACOSTIA.

whether there shall be one or more
than one man on each committee of the
Anacostia Citizens Association is ques-
ton that will be discussed at the March
meeting of the association. DIR. James A.
Watson at the last meeting advanced the
suggestion that each committee be COM
posed of but one member, believing that
II this condition existed more work
would be accomplished than has been in
the past with three or more on each
committee. He stated that 1t is impos-
sible to get many members together, and
If 1t were confined to one man action
could be taken without the necessity of a
conference. President Charles R Burr
is in favor of the old method Of more than
one man, and has good many followers.

DREDGE AGAIN AT WORK.
Excavations at Junction of Main
Channel With Eastern Branch.

The dredge Dewey, employed in dredg-
ing work on the Eastern branch in the
vicinity Of the junction Of the Washing
ton channel with that to the navy yard,
has resumed operations after being forced
to lie idle for over twenty -four hours by
the Ice from the upper river banking
about her. No harm was done the dredge
and as soon as the ice masses thinned
out work was again started. She is daily
taking several thousand yards of ma
terial from the bed of the Eastern branch
and pumping it ashore, but it will be two
or three months before she completes her
contract. which requires that $4,000 cubic
yards OF mud be removed from the chan
mel.
The dredge unless the weather becomes
much colder than is anticipated, will not
have to stop operations again on account
of ice. 1t has all disappeared from the
point where the dredge is working and
the river is as open as in midsummer.
The tugs James 0. Carter and Powhatan
are taking lighters loaded with material
from excavations being made at the bu-
reau site and other points to the dredge,
where it Is dumped for her to pick up
and pump ashore.

BARELY ESCAPES DAMAGE.
Schooner Avoids River Ice by Run.
ming Into Quantico.

The schooner John Branford, Capt. A.
H. Wells, with oysters aboard for this
market, had a narrow escape from trou-
BILE in the ice that came down from the
upper river on the current in the early
part of this week. Capt. Wells left here
several days previously in his vessel in
tow with others. and judging that the
little ice he had seen on the down trip
was gone he loaded his schooner and
started for this city.
There was plain sailing until the vessel
was above Indian Head, when he saw the
ice coming down like a race horse with
the wind and current. He put about and
laid course for harbor and was fortu-
nately able to get into Quantico I'M
harmed. From there he telegraphed this
city, asking that a tug be sent to bring
him here. and in response to the message
the Camilla went down to Quantico and
towed the vessef to this city.

REPLACING RIVER BUOYS.
Considerable Task Confronts the
Lighthouse Steamer Maple.

The lighthouse service steamer Maple
has been at this port for the last two
days replacing buoys in the river below
this city that have been dragged out of
position by the drifting ice. and when
the work about this port is completed
the Maple will take up work in other
parts of the river. AS practically every
buoy in the river for fifty miles below
Washington has been dragged out of po-
sition in the drifting ice. the Maple will
be several days recovering the buoys and
placing them back in proper position.
Some Of the buoys are dragged eight or
ten miles down the river. Not only has
the buoyage on the Potomac been dis
turbed by the ice. but that Of Chesa-
peake bay and It's tributaries, both In
Maryland and Virginia, has also been
upset SO as to be unreliable until the
buoy service steamers complete the work
of overhauling the entire system. con-
siderable part Of this work has already
been done. and the crews Of the tenders
are making extra efforts to get the
buoys in proper shape to guide navi-
gators.
