The change wrought in the timetable
of the C. & E. Railroad brings the
Bummer crowds to Newport in smaller
contingents. However, each morning
boat has Its characteristic delegation.
The noon boat brings the tourists
whose homes are In Albany or points
south. The evening boat brings those
whose firesides are north of Albany.
Not only are the railroad company
and the Western Transportation Com
pany better able to handle the traffic
of 1908 than ever before, but the peo
ple of Newport are also in a much
better position as well to care for the
Bummer tourists. Three new boarding
houses have been opened to the public,
while several of the hotels have been
overhauled and enlarged.
Thus far, the Summer crowd at New
port is mainly of the cottage and tent
variety, but the hotel crowd is begin
ning to grow steadily larger. Next
week it is expected that the season will
open in strong fashion.
Among the popular attractions at
Newport this year is the launch Rose,
of Astoria, in command of Captain P.
M. Johns. The little vessel will take
Bummer tourists out over the Yaqulna
Bay bar deep sea fishing during the
Bummer. She is 60 feet in length, has
a 35 horsepower marine gasoline en
gine, and has a license allowing her to
carry 90 passengers. Already several
excursions have been made to the fish
ing grounds in quest of rock cod, sea
bass ana halibut.

And every one hopen with double distilled
Your cups by the gods to the brim will be

Tou men of the grocers' guild.
Portland grocers are planning the lark
of their lives next Wednesday, when the
annual picnic will be held at Bonneville.
Two special trains will carry the crowd
to the picnic grounds and it is estimated
that 2000 people will attend. The manage
ment of the affair expects the biggest
crowd that has yet attended the annual
picnic and some entirely new and novel
features will be Introduced.
Perhaps the hardest stunt for some
of the grocers will be the poetry-writing
contest. In which prizes of silverware
will be given for the best impromptu at
tempts along poetio lines. .These efforts
must be short and descriptive of the day's

FRED J. BRADY, OF PORTLAND, AND HIS GCEST, P. M. HERON,
OF CHICAGO.
P. M. Heron, president of a Chicago mattress manufacturing com
pany, is one of the most enthusiastic admirers of the advantages of
the State of Oregon. During the early Summer of every year Mr.
Heron, accompanied by his family, visits Portland and Oregon, and
during their stay here hs avails himself of the opportunity of Indulg
ing in his favorite sport. The Chicago man recently returned to his
Eastern home, but before going he accompanied Fred J. Brady, State
Representative-elect, on a fishing trip to Blue Lake, near Mount Hood.
The picture shows the two sportsmen endeavoring to entice the fes
tive speckled beauties from their haunts In the placid waters of the
lake. On the right of the picture Is shown Mr. Heron, while the fisher
man on the left is Mr. Brady.
sports ane pastimes, and the prize-win
ning poems must be correct as to feet
and rhyme. Some of the food purveyors
are practicing up between customers at
tnelr stores and are writing verses that
they fondly hope will capture the prizes.
There will be a. ladles" tug-of-war that
promises to be one of the banner attrac
tions of the picnic. Last year a team of
Indian squaws in the vicinity of Bonne
ville sauntered Into the picnio grounds
and won this event easily from their pale
face sisters. Secretary Merrick, of the
local Grocers' Association Intends that
this shall not "happen this year, and has
evolved a system which will prevent Buch
a catastrophe. It is his plan if these In
dians appear to seize the rope in support
of the grocers' wives and calmly sit down.
He is confident that no Indians, however
powerful, will be able to budge him, and
his friends concur in this opinion.
Secretary Merrick, who is in charge of
the features of the picnic programme,
wants it understood that the grocers of
the valley towns, where there are asso
ciations, will Join In the junket this year,
and S. L. Kline, president of the State
Grocers' Association, will be there. Mr.
Merrick also announces that friends of
the grocers in this city who desire to
participate in the affair may do so.
The baseball game scheduled between
the salesmen and the grocers promises
no end of fun. and the baby show is one
of the new features, held for the first
time this year. Just who the judges in
the baby show will be Is kept a profound
secret, for obvious reasons. 'It is prom
lsed there will be a large number of en
tries in this event and the competition
for first honors will be fierce.
The two special trains over the O. R. &
N. to Bonneville will leave Portland at
8:50 A. M. Wednesday, arriving at Bonne
ville at 11 A. M. Returning, the trains
will leave Bonneville at 6 P. M., reaching
Portland at 8 P. M.
The picnic grounds at Bonneville have
been improved during the past year and
the baseball diamond is in good shape
for the game. Tho contest will be the
first event on the programme and will
follow the arrival of the picnickers at
the grounds.
It is expected that every grocer In the
city who can possibly leave his business
on that day will attend the picnic. They
promise to drown dull care and forget for
the time being that there is such a both
ersome thing as business.

idated company May 25, 1906, under the
laws of the Territory of Arizona with a
