Yaquina Bay Lighthouse Given Execution 'Furlo' LOCAL NEWS Folks around Newport and Lin coln County who view the ancient Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, standing stark and deserted on the bluff, as a m onum ent and link with the historical past are going to have to step up their promised plans to finance its repair or see it torn down as a m easure of safety to the public. The old lighthouse building, which never was a lighthouse for very long has been a Newport landm ark since early in the 1870’s. It has served more as the abode of “h a n ts” and ghosts and as a trysting nook for the rom an tic. w andering hand in hand along the rhododendron-bordered lovers’ lane which led up the hill from the beach and the town far be low. Now it encum bers the Ya quina S ta te P ark, is rickety, storm -worn and unsafe. The Commission told the Parks Superintendent a long time ago to tea r it down as it was a hazard to the public. But the Lincoln County folk got a stay of execu tion. The Lincoln County His torical Society promised, were it given time, to raise the estim ated $15,000 necessary’ to brace it up. See MRS.
