He also investigated in more detail the state of oyster growing in Yaquina Bay, the only place in the state where oysters were grown commercially. The author urges that fully grown oysters in Yaquina Bay be harvested before they die.

The author called attention to sedimentation problems in the bay and the problem of human sewage, which, at the time came from Toledo, Newport, and the small settlements at Yaquina and Oysterville. "The tides then carry such material back and forth over the entire river, making it possible for dangerous disease-producing organisms to be disseminated ... Inasmuch as the oysters from the Yaquina region are sent to various markets ... for human consumption, they may be regarded as a source of grave danger to human individuals."
