gMtltp IfVf r aw VOLUME 22 TOLEDO, LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULYTqh NUMBER 24 COUNTY NRWS Nc,Lch c 9?! ' - - uv wur liUSUincr ASSOftmt.fi Kr I itnra Newport The Oregon State Pharmaceutical Association held its 25th annual, Silver Jubilee, convention at New port commencing on the 14th and ending on the 19th. 250 druggists and their families attended the con vention. This was the largest at tendance the society has had since its organization. The meetings were held in the Opera House. The sessions were all interesting and a'number of able papers were read by different members of the society and the discussions that fol lowed were very able and instruc tive. A more cheerful, jolly set of people never met at Newport, they had left the dull care.s of busi ness at home and were out for a good time. The weather was all that could be desired. The ther mometer ranged from 65 to 70 degrees just pleasant. In the Valley at that time the tempera ture was 95 to 106 at Albany and Bedford. The business sessions were held in the forenoon and the afternoons were devoted to stroll ing on the bead and to taking excursions to vsrious points of interest along the coast. The agate beach. Punch Bowl. Otter Bock, Lighthouse, Jump Off Joe and other points of interest were vis ited. Several excursions were tsken out over the bar to deep sea fishing. This was greatly en joyed by all the party. Newport provided a number of stunts to amuse the people. Among them the clnm bake, the Indian feather dsncc, the baseball game, the tug war pulled off by the druggists snd traveling men, the latter winning. The traveling men were heavy weights and won in the tug of war and got the silver cup. Tbe clam bake was of th most interest and drew a big crowd. The management was good, no trouble of any kind. This bake consisted of clams, crabs, fish, and potatoes cooked to the Queen's taste by tbe prince of eouks. Jesse Frev and R. A. Toozer. By their asso ciit on with the Indians gave them ' a knowledge of how the clams should be cooked with hot rocks and sea wtcd. according to the ancient manner of cooking them. About 1500 people partook of the feast. By this mode of cooking all the flavor vt the articles cooked is retained. The clam bake was gotten up by the Commercial Club and the citizens of Newport as a special treat for the druggists, and the druggists were served first as the guests of honor, yet there was enough for all present. None was mide sick by eating the clams be cause they were so nicely eooked. The Indian feather dance was also a special feature of the entertain ment and gave general sati if action. Twenty-five Indians and white men and women were in the dance dressed up in true Indian style and you could not tell the Indan from tbe white. A paleface was tied and burned at the stske in the old fashioned way. This was a thril ling and exciting scene and lo ked almost as if it were real. A red light waa burning around the captive and tho warriors danced around with wild terriffic yells that made the hair of your head atand on end. It was a good imitation of the way the Indians killed their captives and greatly interested the audience. On Saturday evening tbe druggists with their famili.a took a swim in the natatcrium. Thia was a real luxuiy enjoyed by all who took part in it. On Sunday at 1:30 our guests and visitors left on Btsawfual train for their homes, all expressing themselves as being well pleased with Newport and their entertainment and thought this city would be a good place to permanently hold thrir annual con tentions.
