THREE JAUTIFUL ie Gem of All Pacific Coast Watering Places Described in of Welcome by One of the Oldest Summer Residents ress of Welcome by Col. E. Hofer. have been 'requested to deliver f ae words or welcome at tho open- lof this annual Northwest Indian aieacners- institute to our beautiful , (Yaquina Bay seaside summer resort vould take the imagination of a t, tho skill of a painter and the elo. iuonco of a great orator to do it Jus- Words fait to describe its multl- iKJd attractions, or its unlimited re- Irces of entertainment and hospl- ity, It is indeed, in the picturesque ago of tho natlvo Indian, "skook- illlhee," tho bounteous bosom of tier nature, the perpetual fountain jrouth with is waters of restoration llnated by heaven's brightest lies. Ifter seeing all the principal Burn er resorts and places of Interest from ska to Mexico, the most expert- ed and disinterested travelers de- lire that Newport, on Yaquina Bay, irpasses them all, the gem of all the side places. San Diego's land- eked harbor, with its famous Coro- nado beach, can alono be compared to Iitfor natural beauty. Newport is the Tadlant gem of the Paclflc, with its saphlre bay flashing JBlbrllHant sunlight, with skies of am- pthyst deponing Into cerulean as they nnd and dip into the darker blue of e Pacific; on all sides the everlast- ig emerald of tho hills coming down kiss the white-crested breakers for-, Ever beating on the sands. ' There are no beaches that In ex- ianso and picturesque beauty surpass bos at Newport. Stretching away to the north are tho grand curving inores or tne ocean, enclosing wye ek, Jump-off-Joo rocks, with their thunderous caves, Monterey and the aghthouse promontory, and still far- her, Inviting to excursions, Ho tho Buge Otter rocks and tho Punchbowl, , he black diamond necklaco of roefs, eaching far out to sea, and affording pomes for tho sea otter and the myr- ads of sea birds that by daytime flash id circle In friendly proximity to the lummer visitors, At Newport harbor are the Jetties, vith the rushing tides flowing in and aut with rythmic movements of the) noon-mad sea. Beyond their shelter-1 ing arms are the fishing reefs, where Ithe deepsea fish' are taken In unlimit- ed quantities, and where tho summer excursionists pay their money and Btake their choice of pleasureab'e en- tjoyment or furnish amusement for iheir friends and refreshment for the Ishes To the south stretch the beache3 to- tward the llfesavlng station, the inex- haus'ible trout;stored waters of Beay-j Per creek tho wonderful Seal Rocks, ' dth their swarms of seal, sea lion, (black-fish, porpoise and whales. Still farther looms the most striking prom- 'ontory on this coast, Cape Perpetua, and on a clear day we sight Hecta'a head. There are tho Inviting fishing grounds of Alsea Bay, Drift creek, and tho trout streams and deer hunting grounds on farther south, Yahats, Ten Mile and tho terra Incognita of un explored mountains so fascinating to tho lover of larger game, all within a Jay's drive of -Newport, Among tho charms of our attractive summer resort I must not forget to mention tho Old Lighthouse, with the lovers' walk approaching that abode of mystery. From here the romantic can come upon the shadowy trail of as bloodrcurdllnc a romance as ever was coined from, the brain of any writer of fiction. Mrs Miller's story of the haunted chamber in tho old lighthouse ranks in wierd beauty with anything ever produced by Hawthorne, anu should bo mado part of the advertising matter of this bay. There Is a still more beautiful walk up the bay past the Talking Spring, to Bay View, a ew j , nicsnnviile. I. Vwhero tho winds never beat, and the waters sparkle by daylight, and are , .. .,... ,.!......,, .mior the radiance of tho full Wn. Still farther up is Hinton's Point, where the buried treasure of a Spanish gal- leon iia hAnonth th sea. and has de-, fled all attempts of explorers to wrest Ito secret from the dim- and piratical Past On all the hillsides stand the skeletons of tho forest giants of a former age. wierd sentinels in the nny of second growth. The summer visitor must not omit to spend a day on South Beach, carry og a lunch, exploring tho silent and deserted streets of a fdrmer city, wan dering in a cemetery rich with relics OREGON SUMMER RESORT Oratory-Address of a past, and unable to withstand tho encroachments of the forest growth, crowding Into the city of tho dead from every side. The sand dunes have a charm and mystery of their own. as they stretch for miles to the south. They are strewn with Jetsom and wreckage from every land, not a piece of spar, or barnacled plank but could tell a story of adventure more thrill ing than any found in the books. There toward the sea lie the bleach- ing bones of noble ships, telling of the disaster and tragedy overtaltlng mere- ly human hopes. Lovers loiter and linger on the sand dunes, whispering their secrets to whistling winds that hasten to bury their footsteps In the shlmmoring, sifting sands, and while the sea and the land are undergoing change at every moment before our eyes, humanity is consoled by the eternal fact that love alone lm lm- mortal. Our ideal summer resort has dozens of side attractions, opportunities for picnics and little expeditions by fami- ly parties, short or long excursions on foot or horseback, or by conveyance on land or water. A fleet of yachts, rowboats, launches, sailboats and steamers are waiting to take you out to sea, up the bay, or for a ride on the beautiful Yaquina river. This last trip no one should fall to make, as the tide water rushes 30 mile3 back Into the coast range, until the alders meet over your head, and tho mountains are reflected so perfectly in the clear mir- ror of waters below that photographs become perfect doubles, the reflection taking as perfectly as the landscape aoove water. Ana wno snail uescrioe tho beauty of the bay Itself, by day or night, tho roseate ripples that dance before the oncoming sunrise, or in the wake of tho night breezes glancing un- der the moonlight? Behold tho bay at hlghtlde, a heaven-reflecting blue expanse In a setting of emerald, dot- ted with white sails, its waves making music against the elbow of pleasure boats, nature making merry with man bent on a holiday. We must not over look tho beach bonfires, bund mu3lc, Sunday excursions and dancing. And when the sun has sunken be- neath the ocean's rim, and closed be hind him the golden portals of anoth- er day, there comes tie afterglow of dazzling silver light as a background to the walls of dark green firs. It is reflected In the east, and colors sea and sky with the softest rainbow tints. Sitting upon their thrones in the Coast range are far-away Table mountain, Mary's Peak. The night deepens, and tho colors grow more Intense In beau- ty. Silence Is broken only by the cry of some belated sea-going Diru ioiiow- ing its mate to a haven of security. Up from the little city at tne steamer landing come the stTains of sweetest 1 music. Lights Elimraer In the resi dences on the hills, and the search light of a steamer plays on the tents and cottages around the semi-circle of tho bay. Who is made of such materi al that he does not succumb to the charms of nature in her most ravishing moods, where the bridal feast of the marriage of the land and sea are cel ebrated daily and nightly, in the height and glory of midsummer? Man and woman is here born anew in the spirit of pure and Innocent enjoyment of nature at her best, winning back the capacity for pleasure so easily lost In the maddening pursuit of world ly success, restoring the temple by cessation from toll Thousands of -weary fathers and mothers havo come to Newport and on those cooling, neaiuuuj oeacne . asme inoir uuiuuud w .... . the rejuvenating ioucn m . -Many a mouiur w uu sponslbllltfos of family life has come hero with her flock or little ones, turned them loose, to romp on the sands, while she dreamed berelf back Into health and strengtn. reieosva inu the drudgery of housekeeping, or having it here reduced to its Amplest form. In tho sharp competition that surrounds every man in the struggle toward success or a competence there is not much margin for recuperation, unless he-takes the relaxation afforded by a summer at the ocean, with Its invigorating and rejuvenating influ ences. 'Much has been said of race suicJde. but how much is due to the buslnosss and professional man pen ning himself up In his office 12 months in the year has not yet been esti mated. The greatn&s of the future of this , summer resort cannot be forecasted at present. That the railroad will be built from Yaquina down to the city of Newport no one can doubt, and it will bo done in a few years, for It would open these beaches to five times as many people as now come here, and would mako it a winter as well as a summer resort. The effect of tho rail road extension would be to extend the resort for five or ten miles north and south on tho beaches, for they are Just as fine as at Newport. The develop ment of tho great Inland Empire of Or egon and Washington will fill these summer resorts with thousands of people who wll flee from a parched and semi-arid climate, from the dust and heat of the valleys, from the hot winds andi sand storms east of the mountains, and all we have to dread and fear is tho crowding and tumult, and tho extravagance of the fashion able watering place. But there are compensations even for the Intrusion of civilization, for tho man with the rifle- and the boj- with the twenty-two, who kill every bird and animal In the sea and on tho land will disappear. If there Is ever a bounty offered for the destruction of seals and sea lions, let' U3 hope the summer resorts will be ex empted. Tho seals and the sea Hon and all the birds and animals should be preserved and protected. At all the California resorts the seals and the sea lions are protected, and have become tho most valuable drawing card to attract visitors. Why shall not theso animals be preserved for all tho people, for the enjoyment of tho children of the unborn generations? In tho samo way the clams of tho bay and tho baches, tho crabs and the flounder, should be protected against extermination, as "well as the trout of tho sportsman and the salmon of com merce. Tho families' and the children have a right to the benefit of these common treasures and delicacies, which man in his ruthless greed will destroy unless checked by tho wiser arm of the law. We welcome you as educators to help us keep. nature in her happiest manifestation, as tho All Wise Father has fashioned her for our blessing and comfort, and ask you to assist In making public sentiment for the preservation of the natural beauty and abundant resources of fair Yaquina Bay, the Oy3ter Bay of Ore gon, whore the old Indian proverb has It, when tho tide Is out the table Is set for dinner. Here are the dain ties and substantial of earth, air and sea, tho treasures of tho fresh and salt water, the vegetables and tho fruits, the fish and shells, game, and alll that tho markets of the world affords, cheaper and more nbundnnt than any where else In the world, where the sun Is not hot, and the air Is not cold, and where the surf leaps higher than anywhere elso in the world. Prayed for Salem Lady. (North Bend Post.) Holy Rollers!. And now comes the news of tho cure of an Oregon lady which has been cured by Dowio, of tho ZIon church. Mr Dowlo's paper gives this narration, which la of in terest to Oregenlans: "Mrs. Minerva Sutton, of Salem, Oregon, has taken 177 quarts, or a barrel and two-fifths of medicine, the bottle from which It was taken being shown In his lecture, for a cancer of tho st6mach, naming the Salem phy sician who had given the most of It, without effect, when she happened to see a copy of the Zlon papor. She became impressed, wrote Elijah the Second, who prayed for her, and she wa3 entirely cured." Then sho moved to ZIon City, near Chicago, and Is residing there now. Funeral Rates Reduced.

ROSTEIN & GREENBAUMi 298 and 300 Commercial Street Filled With Shot Several han-set hands, after a hard day's work last night, about 9 o'clock thought they would refresh them selves wlh somo watermelons. So they quietly entered tho fine patch of Mr. Mayberry, beyond Thornton Lake, and were preparing to carry off a sufficient supply for tho crowd, when a dark figure loomed up nearby and bangl bang' bank went a shotgun, followed by a stinging sensation in dlf fert parts of the anatomy of three of tho young men. They fled' and toook an inventory of themselves, finding the three men were filled with shot. Dr. W, H Davis, of this city, was sent for in a hurry, and responded. From one of the men he took IS shot, from another six and from the third three spending a couplo of hours In the op eration. One shot just missed an eve by a fraction of an Inch, one young man got a neck wound, and In fact the different parts of their bodies were taken care. They earnestly re quested that their names be kept quiet, not desiring any notoriety, and this has been complied with by the attending surgeon. Albany Democrat. Of Interest to Sick People. We have all the sympathy in tho world for sick people, and want to treat them in a serious way. Thoro is no humor In pain and affliction, but hard, earnest fact It is impossi ble for the patient to impress on oth ors tho extent of suffering they en- duro, and their anxiety for relief. To got well or bo relieved Is their ono thought, any remedy that will bring this about has their everlasting gratl tudo. We have thousands of letters from people who havo had dyspepsia, sick headacho and bilious attacks. who tell us how thankful they woro for having used Dr. Qunn's Improved Liver Pills. They are sold at all drug stores for 25c per box. Only ono for a. dose. These pills remove tho cause of disease and mako tho skin clear and healthy looking. Fore sale by Dr. S. C, Stone, druggist. Fair Grounds Switch. Tho Salem Electric Company, co operating with the Southern Pacific Company, are working night and day to completo the fair grounds switch. Tho first angle Irons were improperly made, and had to be returned, hence tho delay. It is expected In a fow days to have cars running through from the fair grounds to the ceme tery on the 20-mlnuto schedule, but tho company may wait until a lot of new cars arrive, as tho old ones can barely mako the time required on the 20-mInute schedule. Tho rarest of all wild beasts is tho rhinoceros, and the only ono In cap tivity is In the menagorlo of IUngllng Brothers' World's Greatest Shows. Naturalists estimate this specimen a9 beyond price, and scientists, explor ers and students have como from all parts of the world to Inspect tho curi ous beait. The educational valuo ol a visit to this menagorlo cannot bo overstated. OASTORXA. Bew the B Kind You Hats Always BoojjM Notice to Taxpayers.

Opportunity for the People to Take Action The Flax Fibre Mill Would Be Mage Possible by PubliV Owner ship Shall the city of Salem undertake public ownership of a lighting plant? That Is an open question before the people of tho Capital City? The charter of Greater Salem makes full provision for submitting to a popular vote a. proposition for the city to acquire a water power for such a purpose. Tho matter do6s not dopend on the mayor or the coiincil.'but is by direct Initiative of tho people themselves. The property owner and the business man can undertake this matter. Tho city has been offered a number of propositions, but tho most direct and businesslike 'offer came from tho Brick Mills property, with Its lm menso and perpetual water iower fom the Santlam river. Thero is an undeveloped water pow er In that property far greater than tho power already available, and tho power on tho whoels Is far In excess of tho needs of tho city. To not permit tho matter to go to sleep The Journal reprints Mr. Wil cox's offer, and asks careful consid eration of tho samo, from' tho stand point of tho city's Interests: Mr. Wilcox's Offer. Hon.

While capital' can be secured to put In tho milling machinery, tho capita? for building and tho water power Is not so easy to get. If tho peoplo of Salem should by a popular voto take up tho offor of Mr. WiTcox and float it popular loani to acquire tho proporty. then tho city could unload tho large brick building, and lease it to the flue flbro company, with power sufficient to oporato tho plant This' would make both propositions profitable and practical.
