the excessive fresh water of this year.
Dredge after dredge was drawn UP,
in investigating the beds. and the
catches in every instance were found

While no investigation is known to
have been made OF the James River,
in Virginia. such rainfails as have
occurred duding the year will prob
ably kill off the greater quantity OF
seed oysters on the upper half of uae

true.

On the under side of the board were
fastened: two braces or cleats of wood,
three-quarters of an inch in thickness
and three inches in width. -
One of the braces was made flush
with the widest end of the board
the front brace, two feet three inches
from the wide braces, supported a
tongue that reached the back and rest

During the months of April and May we have
many fine, warm days in Duluth, and there is no

woods. - =. = - .@, ~.%-S = ~

It easy to reach Nature at her best from almost
any car line in Duluth The Grand avenue line will
take you within walking distance of the West Du-
luth hillside adjoining Paramount park, or to the
Proctor hill. The incline will take you to Dri-
uth Heights, near which suburb are many stretches
of beautiful woods r: -: 49,, ..

at the boulevard and the Chester park ravne above

Outdoors is the playground

crete wading pool, thanked by big
clean sand piles. A woman at
tendant is in charge.
Then there are the Fairgrounds

one for women. In there there
are basketball courts, volley ball
courts and croquet courts. Back
of the Fairgrounds are the tennis
courts. Three of them, built on
a special cement foundation.
