our natural rocks, to the boatmen who
transport the seed to the deep water
BEDS to the men who dredge the ma
ture oysters from the beds and trans
port them to the shocking houses and
the shucking houses
To illustrate the amount Of money
which will go to the laboring man
from the development OF this indus
try. we will cite what has been spent
in the experiment conducted by Mr..
Darling and his associates. In de-
veloping a very small area they spent
$4,000. all Of which was paid to the
laborers who caught the ssed oysters
and transported them to the grounds.
Nearly twice as much will have to be
paid tho laborers who harvest these
oysters and transport them to the
shocking houses and shuck them.
When we recall that Virginia has
hunrreds of thousands OF acres of
land, 1t Is evident that tho wealth
which will como to the laboring men
of the state from the development OF
this industry is enormous. Virginia
has the greatest seed -oyster beds In
the world. The supply has so far ex-
ceeded the demand that Il was neces-
sary for the last session of the legis-
iatare to enact a law permitting these
seed to be taken to other states to
be there developed. This deep water
planting will furnish a home market
for these seed. anu Virginia iaborers
will get the benefit of developing
these oysters, as well as the benefit to
accrue from an increased marker svr
the seed.
The state will not only be greatly
b Melted by the increased wealth Of
her citizens resulting from the many
millions OF dollars which will come
from outside the state every year In
exchange for these oysters, but the
land rented will In = fsw yaaxa yiold

MARK twain WAS
MADE BY GOODMAN

Joseph T. Goodman, editor, writer.
archaeologist and the discoverer and
friend of Mark Twain. died Monday
morning at the German hospital after
an illness of four months. He was
eighty years of age and had lived IN
Alameda for the past twenty-five
years says the San Francisco Chron-
icle. Coming to California from Della
ware county, New York, with his
father in the sos, as boy of eighteen.
Joe" Goodman began his newspaper
life as a typesetter for the Golden Era.
He was only twenty-five or twenty
three years old when he became editor
and owner of the Territorial Enter
prise of Virginia City, Nevada, and
he made it the most picturesque of
early-day Western newspapers.
One day an obscure correspondent
for the Enterprise byt he name o.
Clemens sent in a burlesque report OF
a Fourth of July GRAFTON that began:
Il was sired by the Great American
Eagle and foaled by a continental
dam" Goodman gave the young Mis-
sourian a job as reporter on the En-
terprise, and it was there, under
Goodman's guidance, that the humor-
ist and philosopher, Mark Twain, be-
gan the career that made him famous.
Those were troublous days for
newspapers. Once Goodman fought a
duel with the editor of the Union. He
wounded his adversary. but made a
fast friend of him. He stuck by Mark
Twain when one of the latter's stories
brought down the wrath of San Fran
cisco newspapers upon the Enterprise,
and refused the demand to fire" him.
Goodman was the friend who brought
him out of despair by convincing him
that "Roughing IT. was good.
Goodman wrote many articles and
poems of fine literary quality, and his
poem, "The Death of Lincoln" has
lived. 1t was on the Comstock,
through mining investments, that
Goodman made the large fortune he
afterward spent in archaeological re-
search and in open handed gifts
whenever money was needed. After
the Comstock days Goodman pur-
chased large raisin vineyard near
Fresno and lived there several years.
After selling the Fresno property he
lived for a time in Mariposa county
and then went to San Francisco. He
travelled widely and retained his in
terest in scholarly pursuits to the
last He is survived by widow, Mrs
Mary Goodman. and four daughters

EXEMPTION FROM
ALL CLAIM WORK?

Information has been received here
from Washington, says the Goldfield
Tribune, that Congress has passed a
general law doing away with the re-
quirement for an annual 500 worth
of labor on mining claims during the
present war with Germany. This in
formation was contained in a letter
sent toAttorneys Thompson & Thomp-
son by Congressman Roberts. 1t
stated in this letter that the bill has
passed both houses of Congress and
is now in conference. and that 1t will
be agreed to, passed and signed.
This is the first intimation received
here that bill of this character was
under consideration in Congress, al
though dispatches had told of a meas
ure, introduced by Senator Pittman,
to exempt from the annual work min
ing claims owned by men called for
military service or by men engaged
in war industries. There is a wide
variance of opinion in mining circles
regarding the fairness and wisdom OF
enactiIg measure such as that said
to be pending in Congress at present,
particularly in view of the fact that
many claim owners have already per-
formed their annual labor.

HOOYER'S PRAISES
TO WAR MOTHERS

The following telegram was re-
ceived Friday morning from Wash
ington by Henry M. Hoyt, Federal food
administrator for Nevada, and by him
forwarded to newspapers of the State:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., October 4-5.--
Washingtn war mothers" are organ
izing in every state TO the Union to
assist during the week of October 21-
2S in the house-to-house canvass TO
obtain signatures to the pledge of the
United States food administration
The plan contemplates enlisting the
services of every woman who has a
son in the army, navy or marine corps
or son enrolled under the selective
service draft law and subject to future
call, The war mothers" were form
ally welcomed into the ranks of food
administration workers in a statement
issued today by Herbert Hoover, the
food administrator.
1T is peculiarly fitting" said Mr..
Hoover, that the mothers of men who
dlt W H5ut the ndllOl . Udttlco ohOulu
enlist in this yitally essential service.
They are sending their sons forth to
endure the supreme test of citizen
ship. They want their sons to return
to them as soon as the peace of VIC
tory may be achieved. They will has
ten the coming of that peace by the
work they have undertaken. In no
war in which this nation has engaged
have the loyalty, devotion and self
sacrifice of American women ever
failed. In no war have they had a
greater opportunity for service than
is offered in the movement for con-
servation of the nations food supplies
Not only does this food administers
tion cordially welcome the war moth
ers' into the ranks of its volunteer
workers, but an equal welcome Will
be extended to wives and sisters and
all other loyal women who will enlist
for a service which President Wilson
has said is more essential than any
other which American women can
render. The Liberty Loan must be
subscribed, and. will be subscribed; ;
but it would be useless to gather this
money or prosecute the war if We fail
to make sure of the food which will
win the war-apd the lack of which
will surely lose the war"
