-A Mysterious Robbery Sugges
tions for the Advancement
of Yaquina Interests.
Newport was thrown into a fever of ex
citement last Saturday by the report of a
mysterious cutting affair that had happened
during the preceeding night, in which Ma
rion Gillette, an elderly bachelor farmer
living on Big creek, was the victim. He
arrived in town with his head bandaged up
in a sheet, and claimed to be suffering in
tensely from numerous cuts ami bruises
bout his face and head. On removing the
cloth from his blood stained face he pre
sented a most ghaslly appearance. His
long g"ey hair was matted in a clot of blood
from the several kuife wounds about his
face and throat, and altogether looked pret
ty badly done up.
, Gillette lives alone on his ranch about a
mile back from the beach on Big creek aud
from his industrious disposition and miserly
ways was supposed to be possessed of a large
sum of money. He claims that between
one and two o'clock Saturday morning he
was awakened from his slumbers by a knock
at the door. Believing that he recognized
one of the voices, the door was opened, and
two Indians were admitted who asked for
food. As the old man turned to comply
with their request he was immediately
seized by the pair who demanded G00 that
they claimed he had received the previous
day in Newport. A desperate struggle
ensued, and soon Gillette succeeded by her
culean efforts in freeing himself from one of
the robbers, who grabbed a shot gun that
-was standing in the room and began tiring.
After shootiug twice without elfoct, lie
seized a knife aud dashed upon hi3 victim
.with the apparent intention of hacking him
to pieces. During the struggle Uellette
became weak from the loes of blood and
fell off the porch of his cabin and escaped
iu the darkness to a neighbor's hnue where
he remained until morning. He returned at
daylight and found that the robbers had
escaped with a shut gun, a pair of field
glasses, a watch, and $10 in money.
The 3tory told by Gillette is noc generally
believed in all its details. He claims tli; t
the men were masked, which, in itself, was
evidence that the Indians were on mischief
bent, and to open up his home to them umler
Buch circumstances is, to say the least, vi ry
strange. The report made by Deputy Sher
iff Ball, who visited the cabin; does not bear
out the old man's version of the affair.
There is oo doubt about the wouud3 aud
other ill treatment he received, but how the
affair came 'about is still enveloped in
mystery.
At 11 o'clock last Sunday, excursionists
from the valley to the number of one ln.n- j ae Liverpool price less me cost or iraus
d red and eighty arrived, and with lunch portafmn. which would be reduced to a
baskets in hand struck for the beach arid j miuiinum by loading at Yaquina such ves
other points of interest. The day was per- j sels aow receive their cargos at Portland
feet and all who took ad Outage-of the trip an'1 Sn Francisco. Of course such pro
thAronzhlv'enioved themselves. The arri- ducts 33 are exported from the lower valley
val of the boat on Saturday night and Sun-
day morning is anxiously awaited for, as it
always bears a large male contingent. Of
the arrivals many aro husbands and fathers
who are greeted by loved ones from whom
they have been absent during the week on
occourit of business. Others go over on
such occasions for the purpose of visiting
and strolling on the beach with some fair !
one who at some future date they expect to
-call wife, while others take the trip merely
for recreation.
Every person who visits Yaquina notices
a decided lack of enterprise on the port of
the residents of that advantageous resort.
While this has been the liveliest season iu
its history, little or nothing has been done
during the past year toward improving
drive ways, walks, etc. for the purpose of
adding to the attractiveness of the place
and pleasure of the resorters. Among the
arrivals this year are uoticed many new
faces aud all are unanimous in pronouncing
Newport as the favorite resort of the North
west coast. Its numerous advantages over
Other beaches are noticed at once by those
who, for years, have frequented the beaches
at other points on the coast and appear
greatly surprised that so little mention has
been made of Newport aud her surround
ing.
The beaches here are fully equal in every
respect to those at Clatsop and Long beach
besides many features are afforded at Ya-
quiua not to be found elsewhere, all of
which add materially to the pleasure of vis
itors. The bay affords excellent advantages
for boating and Sailing and within the jet
ties surf bathing may be enjoyed without
tho attendant dauger of drowning, ex
amples of which are had from other surf
batliiug points nearly every year. Iu the
history of Yaquina as a seaside resort, cov
ering a period of fifteen or twenty years,
no horrible details of the accidental drown
ing of a surf-bather has been recorded, for
there has been no such accidents. The
presence of ' an undertow or a cross
current, so dangerous at many beaches, has
never been perceptible at Yaquina, even
along north beach where many bathe in the
breakers of the open sea. Deer, bear and
elk abound in the mountains not far dis.
taut, and the mountain streams of the
viciuity are justly famous for the excellent
trout fishing they afford. Add to those ad
vantages the pleasures of a sail across the
bar . with the splendid deep sea fishing in
which one is permitted to indulge, and the
drives to different points of interest like
Fool weather light, Seal Rocks, Otter Rock
and a host of others, and you have a sum
mar resort nnequaled in natural advantages.
- Since nature has done so much for the
people of the bay they should not "hide
their light under a bushel" but should ex
pend some money iu improvements such as
parks, driveways, walks, baud stands,
pavillions and so on. 'Then some funds
should be spent ia judicious advertising.
Everybody in Oregon knows of the exist
ence of such a place as Newport but a very
niali percentage are cognizant of its many
resources and advantages. When once the
place id properly advertised, the increased
patronage will be surprising. It will cause
the erection of hotels and cottages and in
crease the population which - will develop
the many latent resources of that favored
section. ' Then, and not before, will New
port attain the prominence as a summer re
sort which by nature she is justly entitled
to enjoy. Zs:.:-:. '"V ;
( 'or.sUl.-r.ib'e 3;ecui;.!io'i is jisfc now be
ing indulged in by bay residents regarding
the probable action of President Cleveland
on the river and harbor bill, which carries
with it an appropriation of $30,000 for Ya
quina improvements. Teu years ago this
summer the first work, was commenced cn
the south jetty, since which time a trifle
over 000,000 of Uncle Sam's money has
been expended iu jetties ami other improve
ments to the Yiiquiua bur. The bar, since
the work began, hap gradually been work
ing westward until it i3 now located some
800 feet wst of its original position. At
that time the lead line indicated but nine
or ten feet of water on the bar at low tide,
but through the judicious expenditure of
the money appropriated by the government,
this depth lias been increased until now
twenty-three feet is had iu the (shallowest
place at mean high tide.
Only $15,000 will be required to complete
the praseut project and nearly 3000 of this
amount remains over from the last appro
priation. The money expected from the
appropriation bill now under consideration
before congress will be expended in an en
tirely new prt.ject, now under consideration
by the engineers.
Lieut. Holcotnb confirms the opinion of
many regarding the practicability of load
ing grain Heets at Yaquina direct for Liver
pool, which would avoid the present useless
expense of transporting valley grain to San
Francisco where it is re loaded for foreign
points. Something should be done in this
direction without delay. Siucb Jam3 A.
Headman chartered a three masted vessel
about fourteen years a;o and shipped a
cargo of spars from Yaquina to Japan,
nothing has been accomplished toward de
veloping a foreign trade from this port.
Yet during thi period over G00,000 has
bien expended in improvements tj the har
bor. If congress is expected to coutiuue
the expenditure of money nt Yaquina,
there must be a disposition eviduced oa the
part of residents of, thU seotiou toward
building up her ship'ping interests. The
gross tonnage over this bar is not increasing
as it should and unless the matter of forcigu
shipping is looked to in the near future,
appropriations will be shut off.
The harbor is all right. It affords an
adequate depth of water at all seasons of
the year to admit with safety, the averagc
siz id sailing ves-sel now employed iu the
gram carrying trade. Millions of bushels
of wheat are raised in the valley for ship
ment to the Liverpool market. The Ore
gou Pacific extends from the valley to Ya
quina, and is in a position to transport the
crop to that place for shipment, but instead,
it is loaded at Yaquina onto some coasting
vessel and taken to San Francisco for re
shipment. The price of grain at Yaquina, should be
an l fl""m tUe Uui. Empire should be mar
keted bv the way of Portland: but all
stuff raised in the Willamette valley south
of .Salem should lind its outlet to foreign
markets via Yaquina bay. This, however,
will never be accomplished until the people
of that locality evidence some concern in
! behalf of their own welfare and future and
tho importance of Yaquina as a commercial
center,
Another notable instance of '-tee failure of
Bay people to take advantage of their natu
ral resources is the lack of enterprise dis
played in dairying. The Yaquina valley
ia nothing if not adapted to extensive oper
ations iu this profitable l.ne of business.
The grass upon the thousands of hills along
the river remains green the year around.
Much of this land is worthless for agricul
tural purposes because of its rough, moun
tainous character, and can be utilized only
for grazing purposes. The wiuters are
mild, aud therefore comparatively little
feeding would be necessary. Still, with all
their advantages a large proportion of the
butter used at the Bay this season is shipp
ed in from Siuslaw and other points.
Land along the coast is not adapted to
agricultural purposes, but grass, fruit aad
vegetables do iinely in such localities, and
if the residents of Lincoln county, particu
larly those liviug about the Yaquina valley,
ever ezupct. to get anywhere, financially
speaking, they should tnrn- ttieir attention
in a most vigorous manner toward stock
raising, fruit-growing, dairying aud garden
ing, and cease waiting for the extension of
the Oregon Pacific iu the vain hope that
its completion will boom the price of their
laud, upon which little has been done
except by the hand of the Creator, and
enable them to sell out at fabulous prices
and retire to private life with a fortune.
These suggestions and criticisms are not
made in a captious mood, but they rever
berate the expressions of many observing
persons now at the coast, aud the Gazette
merely wishes to point out the opportunities
and advantages with which nature- has so
richly endowed the good people of Lincoln
county, in the hope that they will be seen
and taken advantage of. The interests of
Benton are, in many respects, identical
with those of Lincoln, and her welfare and
advancement, therefore, should not be lost
sight of by this journal, which, for over
thirty years, has advocated every measure
that would tend in that direction.
A Horse on Harness.
The Sunday Welcome furnishes' the. fol
lowing bit of news about John Harness, he
of that crooked wisdom which is called
craft. John has many victims in this vicin
ity to whom this may serve as a crumb of
comfort: "John Harness, the hardshell
money lender of Vancouver, came to grief
last Friday. He has found another indi
vidual a little too sharp for him. This in
dividual tapped Mr. Harness' bank, a sand
bank placed in one corner of his' woodshed.
In this heap of sand he dug a hole, in this
hole he placed an oyster can, in the can
there were $535. Dirt was placed over the
whole and now all tha remains of the
miser's wealth is the can. Mr. Harness
did not believe'Jin banks; he laid up this
treasures in the earth, aDd a thief broke
throug and stole. Mr. Harness now tlrnks
he would fit a working mule rather than a
carriage horse." ...

New Cottages in Olssenville.
The increased patronage of the Newport
beaches this season, is au evidence that the
people of Oregon are beginning to find out
that Yaquina bay affords better facilities
for the enjoyment of seasiders, than any
other resort withiu the state. Many of the
new faces seen at this favorite resort during
the past two weeks, are from Portland and
Eastern Oregon, and in the past have fouud
recreation and health at Clatsop aud other
beaches in that vicinity. On arriving at
Yaquina they soon realize the mistake they
have been making and before their return
have looked over the various properties in
the viciuity of Newport with a view of buy
iug a lot aud erecting a cottage thereon for
the future abode of their families during
the hot summer months. These prospective
.Newport summer residents are seen each
day iu company with some real estate man
looking over property, first iu one locality
then iu another, but as a rule, lots in Olssen
ville catch their fancy. And in this beau
tiful addition to Newport will be found
many new cottages erected between this
date and the opening of the season of 1895,
This property is situated immediately
northeast of .''Newport. It fronts on the
bay aud slopes gradually backward for a
distance of three or four hundred feet to an
elevated plateau, where an excellent view
of the bay, ocean and surrounding country
is afforded. Good board sidewalks have
been built from these lots to Newport, less
than half a mile distant. This choice resi
dence property is owne&by Captain John
A. Olsseu who has lived on'Yaquina bay and
been prominently identified with its devel
opment during the past thirty years. No
one contemplating the erection of a cottage
or the purchase of real estate in the vicinity
of Newport should fail to call on Mr. Olssen
and obtain his terms and prices for lots in
Olssenville.
Brace the Nerves.
Sedatives and opiates won't do it. These
nervines do not make the nerves strong, and
failing to do this fall short of producing the
essential of their quietude vigor. And
while in extreme cases and these only of
nervous irritation such drugs may be advis
able, their frequent use is highly prejudicial
to the delicate organism upon which they
act. and in order to renew their quieting
effect increased and dangerous doses event
ually become necessary. Hostetters stomach
Bitters is an effcient substitute for such per
nicious drugs. It quiets the nerves by brac
ing, toning, strengthening them. The con
nection between weakness of the nervous
system and that of the organs of digestion is
a strong and sympathetic link. The Bitters,
by imparting a healthful impulse to the di
gestive and assimilating functions, promotes
throughout the who'M system a vigor in
which the nerves come in for a large share.
Use the Bitters in malaria, constipation, bil-
lious and kid&ey trouble.
NEWPOIiT BEACH SOT 13 IT,
Says Our Toledo Scribe, When
Compared With Those at
the Mouth of the Siletz.
Pleasant weather.
Salmon are coming in.
Lots of tourists and campers in this part
of the county.
Hotel Lincoln is under new management,
John Blake as proprietor and manager.
I'll tell you what's the reason the chick
ens roost so high at the present writing
campmeeting is in full blast.
The Siletz river is as beautiful a stream
as the most fastidious could desire to see.
It is navigable about twenty-five miles from
the mouth that is for small schooners
drawing not over six to nine feet.
Miss Eunice Alexander was au east bound
passenger on Sunday's excursion. She in
tends to be absent- about ten days. Sorry
to lose that face even for that short
period.
A. R. Chapman and wife came over on
the last excursion, stoping at Mill creek,
where they were met by friends with fish
ing tackle and lunch. A good catch was
reported. Come again "Chappie" you are
always welcome in this curve of the track.
Fred Horning, while hoeing in the gar
den, accidentally cut himself on the right
cheek, making a severe cut about two inches
iu length. Dr. Rich, Jr., was immediately
called and the wound was neatly dressed.
Had the cut been' half au inch higher he
would have lost his eye.
The Government rock quarry will start iu
about ten days, giving employment to about
forty or forty-five men at this place. The
officials think this work will last about
fifteen or sixteen months. The government
pays the common laborer $1.50 per day of
eight hours and board or $2 and they board
themselves.
Johnnie Akin iiaa-the contract for carry
ing the mail to and from the Siletz reserva
tion. The mail goes three times a week at
present but we look for a daily mail before
the year is out. Johnnie will have a
"coach and four" on the route in a few
days to meet the convenience of the people
wisliiug to see the home of the Indians.
Speaking about a beach there are but few
people in this country kuow what a nice
beach is that have not seen the beach
betweeu the Siletz liver and Salmon river.
Talk about a summer resort! Newport
"ain't iu it" so to speak. I could write
page after page about that beautiful coun
try and then cculd not do it full justice.
Any question that anyone may wish to ask
will be answered through the column of this
paper willingly.
The bay is as nice a harbor as there is on
the coast for small vessels. Besides all this
is the provision that God made for His
children; it was not intended that any one
should starve while on the Siletz reserva
tion. The river teems with all kinds of fish.
The upper river is alive with mountain
trout, while in the lower river they catch
abundant quantities of flounders, perch'
and crabs, while the mud fiats are full of
razor clams, and just below the mouth of
the river on the beach you will Cud mussels
"to the queen's taste."
At last the long looked for event that is
to make our county one of the richest in
the state has come iu the form of the Siletz
reservation, which will be thrown open for
settlement within sixty days. A good
manyjpeople will, ask "What benefit will we
derive?" It is simply this. In the first
place the Iudians will receive 75 per capita
immediately after the bill is signed or be
comesa law, which means 42,000 in clean
cash to be put in circulation at once. In the
second place, it pats several-thousand acres
of the best land 'in Oregon on the market
at govenment prices, $1.50 per acre. Mind
you, this is not all farming land all cleat ed
and plowed once or twice. However, it is
or a large portion of it is the choicest of
bottom land, covered with underbrush such
as alder, vine maple, cherry, chittem, etc.
etc. Besides this is the finest' belt of tim
ber land in the Northwest.

MARRIED.
At the residence of the bride's parents,
neer Monroe, Wednesday, August 15, 1894,
Mr. Fred Nelson aud Miss Ida Martin were
united in marriage.
In affairs of this kind it is customary for
the Gazette to say something of a congrat
ulatory nature, but the wedding pastry has
not yet reached our table, and until it does
arrive, we don't feel like saying any
thing about the bride's ability to manufac
ture excellent cakes and pies, or of the
good biscuits and doughnuts that Fred is
destined to enjoy for breakfast and tea dur
ing the rest of his natural life. The- sud
denness, of the leap into the abyss of hy
menial felicity may account for their over
sight in not supplying us with a goodly
amount of crumbs from the wedding table.
Business in the matrimonial line has been
eternally dull of late, and, as a result, our
stock of wedding proyeudep is getting ex
tremely low; so low, in fact, that we take
occasion here to announce that the columns
of the Gasezttk will be forever and eter
nally closed to those who in the future are
guilty of such a gross neglect of the edi
tor's appetite. We will overlook, the mat
ter this time but don't let it occur again.
We wish them a happy future, long life,
and when time has silvered their locks,
may they still continue lovers as they are
today. May age icorease their devotion to
each other and as the little - "shavars" play
about the hearth let the memories of the
past be a pleasure to their deoliniug; years.
The Blue River Mines.
Blue River, July 29, 1894.
To the Editor: Having been asked to
say a work or two about the prospects iu
this district I will try to comply:
The mineral is a gold bearing quartz, run
ning from 10 to $80 in free gold and carry
ing cyrites of iron aud copper which are
very rich in gold assays, having run up iuto
the thousands.
The formation is volcanic and the leads
are all true fissure veins giving assurance
ot permanency. '
There is no question of the mineral being
here aud in almost exhautless quantities.
All we need is capital, as the prospects are
in tli 3 hands of men too poor to build roads
aud buy machinery for the reduction of
the quartz; ' but capital-' will find us
ere long. Gold Hill will be a camp of im
portance ere many years. Our greatest
need is a wagon road to the mines. If we
had that our greatest difficulty would be
overcome. We have water power enough
to run thousands of stamps-the whole year
round. Timber is abundant and of the best
quality. The country is healthy aud the
altitude low. Could we get some practical
men with money interested we would soon
make a showing that would astonish this
svetiun. F. McKeon.
