Potter queen of river boats five hours are consumed in making the trip to Astoria, the scenery including all that is beautiful, and through the great salmonfishing waters -of the Lower Columbia. After a short -stop at Astoria, the steamer isl.off for Ilwaco, on Baker's Bay, where the pas sengers board the train waiting and are eoon off for North Beach, the popular summer resort of the North Pacific coast. During the trip from Ilwaco the first :good view of the Pacific is secured, the train running along the ridge of the beach within two hundred yards of the breakers. The beach is twenty-seven miles long, two hundred yards wide at low tide, and so hard thatj carriage wheels scarcely leave a mark. It is an ideal place for driving, riding, wheel ing, or walking, and the surf bathing is unsurpassed.

Love of the Home Town. i ORE GON'S It "is generally conceded that 1 ; .children who entertain the deep love for the home town grow cp Inu. t the most useful members of society. . But no child can have much love for "the old town" If he or she Is unac quainted with Its history. It has come to be accepte as n reproach that while the average bright child of a -dozen years is able to reel off glibly everything worth knowing and a great deal not worth knowing about every country under the sun he Is apt to find himself beyond his depth when be , Is asked the simplest question about the history of his own township or village or city, as the case may be. A plan which makes for familiarity ' with the history of one's home and, which may be easily adapted with the necessary modifications to this or to any other progressive community is being tried with great success by the New York Times to commemorate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of New York's incorporation as a city. The Times has offered a large number of prizes and medals to pupils of the public schools. The pupils are re quired to write essays based upon a series of seven articles printed by the Times from the pen of an authority on the subject treated. Teachers of the classes from which the successful pu pils come are also to be awarded pre- ( mlnms. It will be readily seen how easily jht plan might be adapted to the Bchools of any locality. Public spirit ed citizens will certainly see that the rewards In any such competition in augurated by the teachers shall be commensurate with the effort put forth. Unfurnished rooms to rent.
