As generally understood, natural oys-
Ter reef or oyster bed is one on which oys-
tiers have always been known to occur as
purely natural growth. The growth OF
oysters may be originated by placing shells
or other hard material on bottom nat
urally too soft to permit the attachment
of the young oysters or spat. Under the
leasing system of oyster cultivation, this
method is the main dependence of the
oyster industry. But until the present
oyster laws went into effect, the natural
reefs or beds were practically the only
source of oyster supply and they still furn-
ish considerable part of the oyster crop
and constitute, in the main, a public
fishing ground. All laws governing the
method of oyster fishing have reference to
the natural reefs. The lessee of oyster bot
toms for cultivation may fish the oysters
he grows in any manner he may see fit,
provided he pays the rent on them. The
natural reefs, however, are principally
for those who do not care to lease bottoms
and also for the use of persons who pro-
pose to establish new beds by transplant
ing adult or seed oysters to come bot
tom on which oysters are not present but
where the water is suitable for their growth
Before the proper conservation meas
ures were passed a number of natural
oyster reefs were destroyed or 80 reduced
in condition that they have never been

CONSERVATION COMMISSION OF LOUISIANA.
Part Protection Of Oyster Through CuIng
and Other Restrictions,

was the gathering of oysters without re-
gard for future growth. Instead ofculling
in the proper manner on the bed, they
culled at any point or in any manner
found convenient, thus FORGETTING the adj
vantage of an even distribution of the
young oysters on the reef. The Law. now
in effect provides that oysters with shell
measurement of less than inches, to-
gether with all empty shells, must be re-
turned to the reef by scattering them
evenly from the boat as it moved from
point to point. This insures the replenish-
ment of the stock of oysters on the reef
The return of the empty shells also pro-
vides the necessary surfaces for attach
ment of the spat and help it maintain
and increase the original area Of the reef.
While it is possible for oysters to become
too dense on a reef, the extension of its
area is always desirable.
The method of fishing on the natural
reefs lie also the subject of comprehensive
legislation. The uses of dredges on the
natural reefs is prohibited except where
the water is over 10 feet deep or where, in
the opinion of the Commission, the water
is too exposed to be ished with hand
tongs. The objection to dredging is the
ease with which it permits the depletion
OF the natural REEFS.
While the natural reefs are reserved in
the main for public fishing, the law per-
mits the Conservation Commission to lease
as much as 30 per cent of their area.

mrs. BURKE TELLS OF
SUFFRAGE In IDAHO

Local suffragists took advantage OF
the presence in the city last evening OF
Mrs. Meme Burke, a sister-in-law of
Ex-Governor Burke, to call a meeting
at Island park to hear her speak on
the results of suffrage In Idaho. The
meeting was not very largely attended,
probably because of the notice being
issued such a short time preceding 1t.
but the audience was most enthusiastic.
Mrs. Burke was the guest of Mrs. G. II.
Amidon over night, n was introduced
to her audience by the latter.
Mrs. Burke herself lived In North
Dakota for a number of years before
taking up her residence In Idaho, and
has several sons in business at various
places In this state, SO spoke as one
having experience, and being thorough
~ familiar with conditions in Dakota
as well as in Idaho, was well qualified
to make comparisons.
In the curse of her remarks Mrs.
Burke related how women were grant
ed equal rights in Idaho In 1895, with
out their demand, blu as a ~chivalrous
recognition by the men of the state. AT
the same time, the election laws were
so amended as to make everything
connected with the election irreproach-
able. Mrs. Burke declared herself OPP
posed to suffrage before going to Idaho
on the grounds OF some vague Idea that
the polls were not ftt for women yot-
ers, but after participating In an cleo
tion in Idaho, her viewpoint was quite
changed. Both men and women acted
as judges of election and were SO en-

tirely kindly and helpful In their q
ner that she came to the conclusion
that suffrage was a great rennlng IN
fIIence. She contended that voting was
lust as pleasant as shopping, n much
less trouble, and as to another opgec.
ton SO often raised, said that II nae
been her observation in Idaho tnaI
women were not at all anxious TO hola
office, nor do many of them do so.
The need for Improvement In our
present method of election was anotneT
point dwelt upon by the speaker, ana
She stated that 1T could best be brougn
about by equal suffrage which was only
simple and absolute Justice. It's value
is demonstrated by the way IT works

and those who argue that women 90
not want 1t do not know what they are
talking about, or are basing their con-
clusion on false premises. The fact
that the majority of the women or at
least as large a percentage as OF men
vote under equal suffrage shows that
they use 1t, and more cannot be asked.
IN idaho rs to 80 per cent of the wom-
en- use the ballot. The rs per cent nom
voters are about half men and half
women. From experience Mrs. Burke
asserts that women ballot when they
have 1t.
Mrs. Burke left today for the Bot
tineau fair, and will be in the state for
at least a month, helping along The
suffrage cause.

CHICKEN Thief
GETS One YEAR

Few men would be willing to trade
places with the chickens, but that is
what happened to Tom Kelley, al
though 1t wouldn't have happened that
way If he could have helped it.
On July 20 Kelley took thirty-ive
chickens from a pen, and the act that
neither the pen nor the chickens be-
longed to him was what got him in
bad. This morning he appeared before
Judge Pollock in district court to be
sentenced on a charge of petit larceny.
1t was his second offense and he drew
year in the pen.
Kelley pleaded for clemency In be-
half of his wife and children, and
Judge Pollock declared that he was
acting in the interests of the mans
family In sending him to Bismarck.

SUSIE LEAVES SPOUSE AND
 GOES NIGHT PRoWLlNG

DOUGLAS, June 2.-Susie Dooley had some infelicity with her help-m-eat last night and left the family cage on Maytiower Island and started out at 2 a. m. for a joy night on the water front. Susie is a bear that does not improve with age. When she was a small cub Mayor NJ. J. O'Connor had her trained in the way that a lady like bear should go. but during the past few years she has broken away from his influence and has become the talk of the town.
 Last night Susie broke out and frightened the inhabitants of the wa terfront until they called Marshal Sha- fer for protection. Mir Shafer was never on very good terms with Susie and could not coax her to so home and be good; so he called up Mayor o'Cononr and asked for advice. Mir. O'Connor told him to shoot Susie If necessary. but to keep her out of mis- chief until he arrived. Then they shooed her over on Mayhower Island but couldn't get her to so into her cage. and she Is still marooned on the Island. with the result that sightseers are avoiding that place of recreation. until the lady makes up her mind to so home.

 Ford pitched a good game for Ju. neau, but did not have the proper sup port. He struck out ten men and walked five, while Pittman of Tread well. struck out nine and walked three. The first seven innings was classy ball with a few exceptions.
 The Juneau boys were crippled be- cause they had to forego the assist ance of Mullen and Hurlbutt. The lat ter hurt his finger and was taken out of the game at the end of the first in- ming.
 A large crowd of fans from Juneau, Douglas and Treadwell turned out. The next game will be played at Recrea- tion park, Juneau, Thursday after noon at four o'clock.

TIGERS WIN FIRST
 COMPLETE VICTORY

To c. w. Young's Tigers, composed entirely of baseball players that are employed in one store, belongs the honor of being the first Juneau base ball team that ever made clean sweep of the baseball honors at eel ebration at Skagway or Whitehorse. Their victories were complete, and they surprised the denizens of the farther North immensely. The atti- tude before the games was that the Tigers should be treated we'll as guests who had come to help them celebrate, but non considered them seriously as ball players.
 However, there was a difference when they had won two games at Whitehorse and had combined Skag- way-Fort Seward team at Skagway, going, when the game was forfeit ed by the Lynn canal players in the fifth inning. The Tigers had two men in. an one on second base and no outs, when the end came.
 The agreement was that the Skag- way game was to so nine innings. The Tigers put Wright in to pitch the first few innings because Frye had pitched two games the day before. The com bination team got seven runs in on Wright, when Frye was put in the box and the Indian sign became visi- ble once more. The Tigers had just begun to score. when the Lynn canal players quit.
 At both Skagway and Whitehorse the weather was cold, and the wind blowing. Conditions were not favor able to low scores.
 Manager c. w. Carter says one of the features of the games was the com potent and fair umpiring of Ed. J. Bar. ry. of Skagway.
 While the Tigers came back pretty much bruised up, they brought all the honors with them. Zott was hit in the eye with a foul tip; Wright sprain- ed his ankle; Cornell was spiked. and Mosier more or less damaged. but on ly Wright had to quit playing.
