FEW OYSTERS I'M MARKET,
River Boats Are Unable to Reach
City Through Ice.

Except for the supply of oysters be-
ing received here in barrels by freight
and express. from Norfolk, by the
shocking house owners and the
shucked oysters being brought here
from Rock Point in automobiles. the
Washington market would be without
oysters. 1t has been several days since
the last of the runboats sold out, and
there is but little prospect of any of
the oyster feet reaching this city until
the middle of the coming week. The
recent cold spell put the oyster tongers
and dredgers out of business and oys-
tiers are reported very scarce on the
taking grounds. -s
The oyster market at Baltimore is
practically without supplies, as the
tugs were unable to bring the vessels
of the oyster fleet through the ice to
the packing houses. One dealer who
had the reputation of always. having
his vessels arrive every day. no matter
what weather conditions. missed con-

OPPOSES EXTRA $5C0,Oo0
ASKED FOR NEW BRIDGE
Representative Adamson Believes
100000 Is Enough to Put in
Proposed Structure.

Opposition to the authorization of an
additional 100000 for the proposed
new Acqueduct bridge has arisen in
Congress, and is expressed in the words
Of Representative Adamson of Georgia.
chairman of the interstate and foreign
commerce committee of the House
Representative Adamson, whose COM
mittee authorized the original 1egis-
lation for the new bridge, contained in
the Carlin bill, believes that a bridge
costing 100000 is expensive enough.
and will not favor spending another
dollar.
Secretary of War Baker has sent to
Congress a request for an additional
half million. This request was re-
ferred to the appropriations commit
tee and not to the interstate and for
eign commerce committee, and on this
point Representative Adamson says:
IF ways are found to go around the

mittee which authorized the bridge and
made the pledges as to the cost. it will
be over my opposition. 1 insist the War
Department shall keep faith with the

ICE BARRIER REING REMOVED
Vessel Owners Believe Impediment
to NAVIGATION Soon Will Disannear

According to all reports the rain and
snow of Thursday last, instead of hard
ening the ice, has done much toward
reducing it to slush, and if another cold
spell does not come it is generally
thought along ne river front that all
the steamers will be able to resume
service the coming week Yesterday
afternoon the District tug Firefishter
was out breaking up the ice in the
channels about this city so that when
the ice below Alexandria begins to
move out that about this city will be
in shape to follow it,
While ice is to be found in the river
as far down as Ragged point it is
much softer than it has been and ex-
cept where it has drifted off the fats
or out of coves it is Offering but Little
resistance to the steamers of the Nor
folk line, which are arriving practically
on time. 1t is expected that the tug
Carter, which has been lying at Rock
Point, Nd, for the past two weeks,
within the next day or two will make
an effort to come to this city with a
tow of oyster boats.
The rivermen seem confident that the
worst freeze of the winter is over and
if any more occur they will be of short
duration.

The Maneater

James Jimpson has a savage
pup, and when it sees a stranger
it seems to wish to chew him up
and put his life in danger. With
smiling eyes James Jimpson sees
whene'er abroad he sallies, the
people shining up the trees, or
sprinting down the alleys. Some
morning James will call his dog,
and call and whistle vainly
it will be deader than a log. aud
out OF business. plainly. Some
angry victim of its jaws will feed
it deadly bitters, and whoop
around with glee because he slew
that worst of critters. It's
strange how many take delight
in causing grief to others. who
seem to work, in foolish spite,
against all men and brothers. It's
strange because the man of
sense must know that course is
dotty it stirs up hatred most in
tense, and causes language
naughty. And why should any
fellow wish to go forth seeking
trouble? We have enough I'm
asked, odshsh! Why try to make
it double? We have to treat our
neighbors we'll, not on their corns
be treading, or this old world in
which we dwell will furnish
rocky Shedding.
