Shincoteague, Va, Nov. 1---rhInco-
league Is an island where nobody ia
poor, where poverty is unknown. ii rs
less than 200 miles from Baltimore. II
is not a multi-millionairc's shooting
ledge or the hunting grounds OF an
exclusive club. II il a few thousand
acres Of sand producing little except
Wild ponies, salt grass garden vege-
iuhles. There Is not sufficient food
raised on the island TO feed tehth
tf tho inhabitants. They number
about 1000 IN oil.
Tho island hugs the Eastern Shors
Of Virginia, In the county of Accomac.
9nd is protected from the surgcs Of
the Atlantic by tho narrow peninsula
Of Assateague, about &C miles from the
southeast corner of Delaware. Ac-
.cording to the laws OF Virginia, any
hody who has been a resident Of the
state for period OF two years may
catch oysters upon the natural oyster
beds by paying license fee assessed
In proportion TO the size of his boat
and the kind Of tools he uses and no.
body may make a private property of
such oyster beds. Any able-bodied
man can earn a decent living on the
natural oyster beds for most of the
year, and an equally decent living as
catcher OF crabs and fish for the re-
mainder Of the year.
Even strangers, denied by law the
privilege OF the oyster beds. do not
have 10 accept low wages, because there
Is regular scarcity Of workers ashore
on Chincoteague. and every stranger
knows that he has only to stick II
out for two years and save n little
money to be the owner OF boat
licensed to catch oysters.
