Newport
John W. Moupin and wife from
Washington, D. C. see at the Ab
bey. Mr. Moupin is here for the
purDose of making a survey of the
harbor. It will take him three
months to do the work.'
The Bandon, Capt. Scbillinsky,
came in over the bar this morning,
June 16th, at 5:30, tide 4 feet, 8
inchea, without a ' tug or pilot.
She tied up at the Patrick wharf
and dischargi-d some freight and
then started on flood tide for To
ledo, btt at Rocky Point she got
out of the channel and stuck on
the mud flat acd stayed there until
the evening tide took htr on to To
ledo. Newport at this time has no
public deck, only the approach be
ing built. It is very important
that the dock Ehould be completed
so that sea-going vessels can tie ud
to it. This port was formed for
the purpose of building the dock
which ought to be done as soon as
possible. The dock is not built for
small craft to dock to but fur the
ocean going vessels and this is why
the people are paying he taxes to
build a port dock. Quite a large
sum of money is now available for
that purpose. Why not use it!
Water transportation ought to be
encouraged by all means. The
waterways am the people's high
ways and competetion is the boy
that holds down fares and freight.
The channel from Newport to To
ledo is 17 feet on high tide and it
has been demonstrated that a boat
drawing 131 feet of water can
pics safely through the channel and
i long as a boat of that draft
a lays in the channel she will have
no trouble unless the channel
changes or fills up with debris.
The channel ought, by all meaui,
to be buoyed in order that the
pilots may follow it easily.
The Gerald C. Cant. Linburir,
came into Newport while on her
wav to Waldport to get out of the
fog. She had supplies for the El
more Cannery at Waldport.'
The Ahwaneda and Mirene came
in with fall careoes of freight for
Newport and other point on the
bay. After discharging the freight
they returned to Portland and will
be back again in three or four
days. At this time there must be
2,000 people at Newport and it re
quires double the amount of sup
plies to keep them, ' than it did
three or four years ago.
The light and power plant hss
fixed up offices modern in all id
appointments. It is a neat, com
fortable place and Mr. Blanchard,
the manager, ought to be congrat
ulated. The Wells Fargo company and the
gasoline launch, Newport, have
their effiecs in more commodious
quarUrs. The docks where the
Newport lands Is greatly enlarged
and improved to the accommoda
tions are much better than they
have ever been. The front of the
Abbey is receiving a fresh coat of
paint, in fact all the buildings ou
Front street are receiving fresh
coats of paint and the streets ate
being cleaned up so that every
thing presents a very neat appear
ance.
The committers are busy at work
preparing for a big two days' cele
bration on the Fourth of July.
They expect to excel everything
that has been done in the past in
the way cf a celebration. Ihe
Baker ball grounds are being
graded and leveled and put in fine
shape. No nicer grounds can be
found in the state. A grand stand
will be erected and a garage shed
built for the accommodation of the
automobiles. This work is being
done at this time but will not be
completed by the Fourth cf July.
"The Noble , Outcsat" a melo
tlroma played by the Newport
Dramatic Society at th:' Midway
Thursday and Friday evenings cf
lost week was a success in every
way. The Society is composed en
tirely of local talent. Tim house
was crowded both evenings. The
play was hcavv and very difficult
of execution but it was put on with
the skill, energy and pathos of a
trained troupe. This play has
never been equalled by any theatri
cal performance ever put on the
stage at Newport. This tamo pixy
will be put on again, I understand,
during the week the druggiKts hold
their convention at Newport,, just
t ficr the Fourth of July. The
cost of characters have already
been published in your paper' and
I will not repeat them. It goes
without saying that the perfor
mance will be much better after a
more thorough study and practice
of the play than it was before.
wnere an tne preiormers did so
well it would hardly be fair to say
who performed their part the best.
At the annual school meeting
John Loom is was elected trustee
and Charles A. Bickford was re
elected clerk. The new high
school building will be put up this

building of a road out of Benton
county from the end of the good
county road, through Angora and
down the Alsea river to Tidewater
through the National Forest. A
number of years ago Mr. Hawley
had been over the line of the pro
posed road and stateTl to the Fores
ter that he thought it could be

cality. The Forester stated that the
matter would receive hi careful
attention, but that he was of the
opinion that the funds for next

fully investigated and he referred
it to tho district Fortster at Port
