NEWPORT, ON YAQUINA ,
BAY, ATTRACTS THRONG
Agate Bed, Fine Fishing and Points of Interest Nearly Are Factors
in Increasing Popularity of Resort.
nOSSESSINO many superior attrac
tions that appeal to the vacatlon-
1st. Newport, on Taquina Bay, Is
one of Oregon's most popular Summer
resorts.' Because of its distance from
Portland, Newport has not drawn a
large proportion of the Summer vis
itors from this city in the past, but
thousands of people from cities of the
Willamette Valley and of Southern Ore
gon go there every season.
Probably no other beach on the Pa
cific. Coast has a larger variety of at
tractions than has Newport. The town
itself lies on th bay proper,' but the
Summer colony Is divided between the
hotels in the town and the hotels and
cottages at Nye Creek, which Is about
a mile away and on the ocean. At New
port visitors bathe In the quiet waters
of the bay, while those who prefer may
disport themselves In the rougher and
somewhat colder surf on Nye Creek
besch.
Newport offers every advantage to the
1 fisherman. The bay Is ideal for boat
1 lng. and the fishing there is good. This
sport is especially worth while at cer
tain times when salmon are In the bay.
Seldom has the amateur fisherman bet
ter cause for excitement than when he
has a 30-pound salmon on the end of
a trolling line. Trout fishing Is also
available In the vicinity, several trout
streams emptying Into the bay. These
can be reached by a short trip in a
small boat.
The beach at Nye Creek is one of the
most interesting on the Coast, although
the unbroken stretch of sand ts shorter
than at several other resorts. One at
traction in which Newport is unrivaled
is the fine bed of agates that line the
shore. At low tide a fascinating occu
pation is to search among these stones
for the exceptional ones that are worth
keeping. Moss agates, water agates and
other stones of more or less value are
found in large numbers each season.
Several shops do little else than cut and
mount these stones, and many a beau-
tlful. setting for tie or ring has been ;
found in this agate bed.
The trips both north and south from
Newport are well worth taking. Otter"
Rock and the Devil's Punch Bowl ar
among the best-known attractions. Fre
quent excursions are also made to the
lighthouse and to the station of the
Llfesavlng Service. At low tide, one
may walk for several miles along a
beach, where, at high tide, the water
pounds into scores of caves or breaks
upon precipitous rocks.
Newport has all the conveniences of
the modern Summer resort. The hotels
are well equipped and manaered. band
concerts are . given dally during the
busy season and there. are excellent
floors for dancing. The cottage life at
Newport is very pleasant, and there is
also a considerable area reserved for -those
who wish to camp.
Newport is reached from Portland by
tho Southern Pacific to Albany or Cor
vallls and from either of these cities by
the Corvallis & Eastern to Taquina.
From Taquina boat la taken for a short
and pleasant trip down the bay to New-,
port. Portland people have been tak
ing more interest In this resort In the
last year or two, and it Is expected that
the number of visitors from this city
will continue t Increase.
A Hint and a Whistle. J
Judge.
"Johnny," said the teacher, "here Is
a book. Now stand up straight and
sing like a little man."
The song was "Nearer, To Thee." No
sooner had the school commenced to
sing than a little girl waved her hand
frantically. Stopping the singing the
teacher inquired tho cause.
"Please, teacher, I think Johnny will.
