DREDGING SEASON OPEN
IN OYSTER TERRITORY

from today the oyster season on the
Potomac river and on Chesapeake bay
and its tributaries will he in
full swing both for longing and drede-
ing on the natural rocks. and oyster
rurboats that bring their cargoes to
this city will now be able to load
quickly instead of having to wait two
or three days.
Under the laws of Maryland and Vir
glnia, taking oysters with tongs is all
iowable from September Is, but the use
OF dredges or scoops is unlawful until
November 1. The dredging season
closes by law March IL, but tongers
are allowed to work until April 25.

found taking oysters from the public
beds after that date subjects himself
to Imprisonment and the payment of a
heavy fine.
Dredge Boats in Waiting.
Lying in harbors down river await
ing the opening of the dredging sea-
son are a number of dredge boats that
have been waiting for several days
for the coming of November 1, but it
is stated little or no work will be
uQuS To-Day ana the season Will not
really open until tomorrow morning
1t is stated the number of dredge boats
that will work on the Chesapeake and
its tributaries this season will number
more than 200, about equally divided
between Maryland and Virginia. Most
of the boats will work for the oyster
packing plants at Baltimore and else
where, but number will catch oysters
to supply the market here and at Bal
timore.
While reports in general are that
there will be plenty of OYSTERS it is
said that along the Kent county, Md.
shore the oysters are dead, having been
smothered by sand and mussels. Along
the westward side of the bay the oys-
tiers are said to be in good condition.
but very scarce. From other parts of
the Chesapeake and the tributaries re-
plenty of oysters of marketable quail
ity on the natural rocks and bars.
Fleet a Large One.
From Colonial Beach to the mouth of
the river a large fleet of white sailed
boats will tomorrow start work. They
will make a beautiful picture as they
move above over the water, dragging
their dredges over the river bottom.
The installation of gasoline power
hoists aboard the dredge boats has
greatly simplified the work. In the
days when the heavily laden dredges

work. and stories are told Of men lying
at the dredges from exhaustion. This
made crews hard to obtain and shang-
haifng was not uncommon. In recent
years this was stopped. both by changes
in conditions and the fact that the
practice is punishable under the United
States statutes.

 It was sixty degrees below zero. The moonlight lay in silver on the pines, the hundred-and-fourm cabin. deep buried among the drifts, gilt tered along the caves with icicles, the smoke went up into the hush of death. and the light in the frosted window would glow till nearly dawn.
 Within, Pete sat upon his shiny bench. rolling waxed end upon his shiny knee. and tautened his double stitches through the night, scarcely feeling the need of sleep.

 Did you pay of the mortgage?"

So Polly strums rag-time tunes on my piano, Brooke wears my early Victorian frock coat, they serve their beans and bacon with my family plate, the gentleman sports my crest, the lady has my dear mothers dia. monds which are really paste.

 For the rest, would not be present either at the funeral or at the public meeting, or see the press man who came up from Ashcroft, or discuss the matter with any of my neighbors.

County Suspect
Tangled by Police.

John Nolan, as he gives his name
now being held as a suspect by the
county police has told several CON
fiicting tales as to his business in
Bolton late yesterday afternoon.
Nolan first said he went to Bolton
to see Mr.. Smith, a carpenter" but
didn't see him. A little later he said
he did see Mr. Smith and transact
ed some business with him. Asked
how he got to Bolton, and from
where, Nolan said he walked there
from Atlanta late Friday afternoon,
but later changed this and said he
rode from Atlanta to Bolton on the
Rome Express. q train on the West
ern and Atlantic Road that leaves
Atlanta at 5:15 in the afternoon.
Nolan, at first inclined to talk a
good deal, has shut up rather tight.
He refuses to say anything further
about himself this morning, and the
police do not think he has told his
right name.
