The suit was instigated about fifteen
years ago by Attorney General J. P.

F.om Defective Flue.

Fire at Logtown Wednesday morn

ment and oficee of the Fl. Weston
Lumber Company, entailing complete
loss, save for small amount OF dry
goods and show cases that we're saved.

of the company. The building con-
structed of lumber and brisk wind
blowing at the time, it was not long be-
fore the entire structure was eveloped
in flames and the task of saving the
mills from destruction at ence presented
itself, and, only by the persistent and
heroic efforts of men in the employed OF
the company was the fire checked.
A representative of the Echo was on
the scene of the fire the same afternoon
and viewed what was left of the big
structure and its large stock-a mass OF
OF twisted iron and other like material.
The destruction was complete an very
little work comparatively will be neces-
sary to clear the site in order to rebuild.
Mr.. Fl. S. Weston informed the Echo
that IS soon as the loss could be adjust
ed by the insurance companies, the
work OF rebuilding would be at once
started and within month it should be
completed and occupied.
For the present the Weston Company
will occupy the lower floor OF the ma
s,nic building, where alreay, they have
stock of goods and are doing business
withoutiuterruption. Manager. Hall OF
the commissary department is busy
man these days, but his efforts are be-
iag rewarded.
The building and stock were insured
in the Peter Pescud Agency at New
Orleans. The building was estimated
at $4,000 and the stock at $50, 600,
fgureo that are. conservative.
The men who worked in stopping the
progress of the fire work in such man.

OYSTER LEASING
LAW IS UP TO THE
s[AcOAST PEOPLE.
Legislature Will Pass Any
Law Which Coast Repre-
sentatives Agree = State
Committee Had Pleasant
Trip Saturday Visited All
of Mississippi's Oyster
Reefs as Guests of State
Oyster Commission,

Gulfport, October 20.-tThe Missis-
sippi legislature. will pass any oyster
ground leasing law which the represen-
tatives of the Coast counties agree up
on" said Representatives Owen and
Ellis at the Great Southern last night.
"We consider it a local matter, and it is
up to the counties which are interested
directly in the oyster industy to say just
what they want. The chief difficulty in
the proposed law seems 20 be the fear
that the smaller oyster men will he dis.
criminated against, but If bill can be
drafted which will protect the little
fellows and at the same time permit the
leasing of the barren grounds, we be-
lieye that it will be made q law at the
next session. But the Legislature will
leave the matter in the hands OF the
coast representatives and senators.
Saturday we visited the reefs, and
were amazed at the possibilities of the
oyster industry in this state. We found
territory eighteen by seventy i've
miles in extent which is suitable for
the cultivation of oysters. Before our
visit we had no idea that Mississippi Of
fered any such opportunities to oyster
fishermen and packers. The state should
certainly do everything 10 its power to
develop the industry"
Saturday Senators Anderson and
Evans, and Representatives Owen and
Ellis, members of the state investigating
committee, and auditor Paul Hall, wore
the guests of the state oyster commits
sion on trip through the oyster reefs
OF Mississippi. Attorneys Bowen and
Griffith of this city and Inspector Lewis
and Pettiset were also in the party.
The trip was made in the Elethia varda-
man, and breakfast and luncheon we're
served on board, The party went FIRST
TO Bay ST. Louis, then back to Pass
Christian, where they visited the cam.
ing factory. From the Pass they went
directly to Biloxi, returning from that
city to Gulfport by trolley. They took
the entire day for the trip and visited
all of the reefs between the cities men-
toned.
The Legislators had an opportunity to
become acquainted with the oyster in
dustry before and they declared the trip
a very delightful and instructive ex-
perience.
