OYSTERMEN
COUNT LOSS.
Find the Storm has Washed
Away Many of their
Bivalves.
REPARING THE DAMAGE
Will get the Sanded Lots Cleaned as Soot
as Possible so as to Save the Oyster:
—Market Continues Good with th<
Cool Weather—Might have Beer
Worse.
Oystermen now begin to realize the
foil extent of the damage done by the
storm. They have had opportunity tc
go outside and examine their beds and
report considerable loss. The waves
did much damage particularly by
sand. Others find that the oysters
have been washed away to a great ex
, tent. All have suffered and some
oystermen declare they will lose about
half of their plant.
The planters hope to save most ol
their sanded oysters. By sanded, il
is explained, they mean the storm has
covered the beds with a coating ol
sand, burying the bivalves. If left in
this condition for any length of time
they will soon smother. The oyster
men have already commenced to dip
them out. There must, necessarily,
be a loss, however, aside from the
extra labor.
One oysterman who is about to take
up his oysters finds a large number ol
seed oysters washed upon his lot. He
is at a loss they to know where they
come form, but have evidently been
washed from some other lot where they
have recently been planted.
With all their loss, the longshore
men say it might have been worse,
and are hard at work repairing the
damage. As long as the cool weathei
continues the market is good and thi
planters are taking advantage of it.

193 representatives from the States and
Territories of the United States and
the various provinces of Canada. To
this is added the officers and members
of the standing committees, which
increased the attendance to 220.
The report of the grand secretary is
replete with information and figures
concerning the membership and finan
cial condition of the order. The
figures for the lodge branch of the
order based on the work done in 1903
are: Members January 1, 1902, 1,001,

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS
WANTS A BREAKWATER.
Result of Storm’s Effect on Shipp
ing—Declare that Horseshoe
is no Protection.
—
Atlantic Highlands, Sept. 22.—Since
the storm damage of Wednesday hae
been footed up—and that was not
possible till yesterday— an agitation
uu» ueeu hiuriu'i in ltivui ui unu^uin
about the erection of a breakwater.
Nothing short of such a precaution, it
is arguod, will serve to prevent the
fury of the elements working havoc
to the shipping hereabouts as well as
to beach property.
It is only within the past twenty
four hours that detailed intelligence
of the storm caused wreckage began to
reach here. Just before the storm
broae a fleet of about thirty large
fishing schooners, with crews each of
six or more, and a number of power
clam boats from the Highlands went
into the Horseshoe for safety as is
their custom during a storm.
But this proved to be no protection
this time. Most of the boats broke
from their cables and seven of them
washed up on shore, and two wore
battered to pieces against the old
Sandy Hook dock and sunk, the crews
having a narrow escape from drown
ing.

WESTMINSTER HOME.
Editor Evening News:
Being asked my opinion on the
Westminster question, I will give it
as follows:
The Belle of the day, Miss West
minster,
Is being courted considerably now
Who ever would think she’s a spinster,
The way they now do to her bow.
The citv itself, wants to buy her
And sayB; She is a relic, sure,
She never did tramp in the mire,
But was always so white and so pure.
It’s a shame she Bhould go on the
market
Like in old “ante bellnm” days
And, with blnsheB, beooming the
target
Of the speculators unloving ways.
But in order to bny, you neod money,
And the oitv has none of it now,
But they all say, “Good gracious
honey 1”
They’ll trust us till Doomsday, my
love.
So the cry is just now, “Bond the
Oity,’’
For all she is worth, Hurrah!
Float or sink, wo’ll all sing the ditty,
“Who cares bo long we got West
minstra. ’’
Not being an antiquarian or relic
hunter, I do not believe in bonding
the city, in order to purchase the old
Westminster, as long as we do no!
need to. We oan not afford at present,
to deal in antiquities, but must face
the cold duties of the present day and
we should arrange matters so, thal
the taxpayers will not be burdened
too heavily. With the high prioe ol
necessities and the present heavy bur
den of taxation, I think we should

We all know that the building is
not adapted for a school house, and
as far as a park is concerned, give us
one that is more centtally located.
Sure, it is the poor people that need a
park most. The rioh have their own
yachts and their parks and gardens
around their dwellings, which the
poor are deprived of. That section of
the city has its park already. Parks
are a blessing, but let us have them
in other sections of the city, more
accessible to the masses. If in the
minority, I am willing to be beaten,
but I think by popular vote, I would
be with the majority.
