Most Any Kind of Outdoor Amuse ment Can Be Enjoyed There. Newport, Aug. 21. (Special cor respondence, to Oregonian.) Of all the seaside resorts of the Northwest, or on the Pacific coast, none can compare with Yaquina Bay resorts for genuine sport la the angler or the more prosaic seeker for the fat and festive shelfish oysters, clams of various varieties, and that most delectable bivalve known only to Yaquina residents in all its glory, the rock oyster. Silent and saucy, fat as a young pullet, and as tender and toothsome as a celery tip, the rock oyster bides his time and grows, spawns and propagates for vwwittwwiij! J uoc 11UVV lllC rock oyster lives and feeds, bur rowed in solid rock; how it ever got there in the first place, and how it is possible for it to propagate shut up in its living tomb a veritable catacomb, hermetrically sealed is the wonder; yet it does spawn, and grow in size and keep fat shut up from the world in its curious habita tion. One need not go far nor exert himself to enjoy rare sport angling. It salmon trout is desired, a trip toward the head of tidewater will bring one to their haunts, and they will bite greedily. If it is desired to catch tomcod, or herring, or smelt, or sardines, one needs only a dipnet, a fair amount of patience and a row or sailboat, and any portion of the bay will be a possible fishing ground, although one may be forced to paddle around some time before discovering a school, but when once found, one may load his boat with little exertion. If flounders are preferred, the mud banks will yield a ton of them with in a limited time if one knows how to beguile those curious denizens of the shallows. A scheme not al lowed if one is caught at it, but which is novel and is occasionally practiced because of the prohibition, is to man a flatboat with search lights at night and scour the mud fiats, spearing the big, flat, awkward fish. The halibut bank, nine miles out from the jetties, will furnish sport and sure catches of that big sea fish, and in the same locality the jewfish are plentiful, while cod are there in unnumjbered schools. Clams, and crabs, and lobsters may be raked out almost anywhere along the shallow water of mudbanks, while the "tame" oyster, as the Eastern bivalve is termed by the natives; the small, indigeous bivalve, and that curious ."webfoot clam," as Captain Ball has named the rock oyster, are to be had in quantities to satisfy any one's appetite for the trouble of running them down. The Eastern, as well as the native oyster beds are well up the bay. The rock oyster is to be found out side the bar and along the cliffs of the seashore proper. It seeks the salt water, and is accessible only at the lowest tide, and then only to those who use a heavy pick or a stick of dynamite to break the rock into which they have burrowed. It is worth all one's trouble, how ever. A visit to Yaquina bay without a good feed of rock oysters is a trip lost. Captain Ball, collector of the port, is authority for the statement that whales in large schools visit the Yaquina Bay region every year and in suck numbers as to cause the sea for miles to appear as if a huge log jam has just broken loose Number 25 and been swept out by the tide. Often one can sail among them and run alongside them without any trouble, but "one is in danger of being upset should they become frightened and switch their tails around," the captain admits. In the hills around Yaquina bay there are many quail and pheasant and grouse, while waterfowl, espec ially duck, and snipe and plover, are easily bagged. Further back, toward Table mountain, good shooting can be had by the deer slayer, and occasionally an elk or a bear may be bagged, if one is hunt ing for big game, while wildcats are not uncommon. The extension of the Corvallis & Eastern railroad over and beyond the Cascades and the establishment of the steamer line in conjunction with that railway at Yaquina, both of which are now assured, are being haled with no little satisfac tion by a patient, persevering people. Angling is not the only diversion to be enjoyed at Newport, tbe re sort of Yaquina bay. It possesses a delightful climate, splendid beach and is one of tbe most romantic places to camp and enjoy in full the delights of a summer outing. Here one may enjoy "the country" to its fullest, and revel in sea bathing, enjoy sailing, and be assured of finding a splendid class of people. Many Oregonians have visited j Newport annualy for a decade or more; others come because of the praise of their friends who have been here, and all declare their allegiance to the place. The season there were more visitors here than ever before. Every cottage at Nye" creek has been occupied the entire season, although there were quite a number built for this year's use. The hotels at Newport have been filled practically all the timev the Abbey House and its numerous annexes, of course, being the most popular. Next year it is proposed to have a larger hotel, work on which will probably be begun early this coming winter. Mrs. Abbey, it is reported will opeu the new hotel. The Qreen Eyed Monster. The following shows the jealous 1 spirit that the Salem and acijacent press exhibit when anyone but a Salem man gets an appointment: .N "Chas. B. Crosno, of Salem, has been appointed by the president, collector of customs for the district of Yaquina. Sheridan Sun. "Beg your pardon, Sir. Mr. Crosno does not belong to Salem, for a wonder. You thought, per haps, that because he is a chronic office hunter he must belong to Salem. Let us remind you that there are other hogs besides us." .. War began April 21, 1898; closed August 11, 1898; duration of hos tilities, 113 days; expenses of act ual warfare, $150,000,000; Ameri cans killed, 278; Americans wound ed, 1,465; Spaniards killed, 2,199; Spaniards wounded, 2,948; vessels destroyed, American, o; vessels de stroyed, Spanish, 35; territory lost by Spain, Cuba, 41,655 square miles; Forto Rico, 3,670 square miles; Guam, 150 square miles; Fhilipines, 52,650 square miles; total population of territory lost by Spain, 9,445,706. n . The first milk cow arrived in Dawson in July. The first milk ing was veiy small and yet it brought $30, and it was thought the cow would be worth $100 a milking when it got down to business.
