Ex cept for the bar at its mouth we have an elegant harbor at Yaquina, the average depth of wrter being thirty-one feet. Tho bar mentioned and the jetties com pleted wi'l make the place one of the argest shipping points on the North Pa cific coast. "As a summer resort Yaquina has no peer anywhere in the West. There is no undertow in these waters. The vast ex penditure of government money there this summer, and the natural increase of trade due to better times, has evolved a buoyant spirit in our town. Our people are feeling good." Mr. George is 77 years of age. vet a youth in manner and detriment. He is as jolly as a boy.
