I .J emer. TOLEDO, LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1914 NUMBER 25 Mncoiti Newport Oil July the 24th the steamer Bandon left Toledo at 1:30 p. m. with a cargo of 600.000 feet of lumber bound for San Francisco and San Pedro. She crossed the Lor at 3:30 the same day; sound ings showed 17 feet of water on the bar at half tide; piloted by the Olllis S.. Cbpt. Carner, master. From the time the Bandon left Toledo she passed over the bar in less than two hours, a distance of 14 miles, without any mishaps or delays whatever. This folly dem onstrates the fact that a vessel drawing 13J to 14 feet of water can go to Toledo and load with six or seven hundred thousand feet of lumber and go out without any trouble. This proves that the twenty billion feet of standing timber on Siletz can be transpor ted over the Yaquina bar to the markets of the world. Thj chan rid can be deepened t Ife or six feet more by an expenditure of $300,000 or $400,0(10 more in the way of improving the harbor. 1 believe this ran be secured by a proper representation to th govern ment of the importance cf this im provement. Unless we ask for aid from the government to make these improvements we v. ill never get it Keep knocking at the door of Congress until they pay attention to us. Scr.d in data and infor mation to our Congressmen so they can have something to work on. J. H. Fitzgeruld. manager of the Portland & West Ccast and Naviga tion compsny, wss here during the week and met with the city council and the plats, profiles, etc., placed cn file. This completes the work up to the present time, according to plans and specifications of the franchise. The first ground will be broken within the next six months, ready for the laying of the rails end before the expiration of the four years the road will be completed and trains running frcm Portalnd to Newport. - This is the guarantee of the company. The new Baptist church located May itrect was dedicated last Sun day. July 26th, Rev. H. W. Davis of Eugene preaching the dedicatory sermon, lie (was assisted by Rev. O. C. Wright of Portland and Kev. O. C. Moody cf the same city. The music wak in charge of Mrs. Milina Waggener, principal of the conservatory of music in the Al bany College. A large congrega tion was present. The chorus seng ft. mo appropriate pieces accom panied by the piano. The sermon was eloquent and impressive. The church is large and commodious and will seat 600 persons. It is built on the tabernacle plan light, airy and well ventilated. The cost is about $2,500, which is provided for, except about $300. The con gregation starts out under the most favorable auspices. Its member ship is composed of some of the best people in Newport and num bers over fifty persons. Newport, with her splendid schools and churches, has as good social, moral and intellectual standing as any resort city on the eoniit. Thi building of this church is another evidence of the progress and stabil ity of Newport. On last Thursday evening a social was given at the Nicoli Hotel by the ladies of the Baptist church. The psrlors were nicely decorated with evergreens and flowers. A splendid musical uro gram was rendered and some fine readings and declamations were given. A light luncheon was served The proceeds were $1D, to be used for church purposes. The rrcshytcrian church nlao gave a social on the same evening, gotten up by tho Ladies Aid Society. A short musical program was ren dered nnd a splendid chicken din ner was ccrved. A general good time was l-.ml. The roepipta iimoiiii'.ed to t'0, which amount will he used tor church purposes.

Tho Imrc Julia and the Newport handled the ciuwda without any trouble. Since the railroad track hns been im irovcd iird tho Newport painted COUNTY and fixed up and a new gas engine enstalled a much better service has been rendered. This accounts for the increased travel to Newport. It is hot in the Valley and cool on the coast and this brings a good many people to the coast. It is said the Newport, according to her size, handles more passengers than any other boat in the world. Last year she ha.idled over 60,000 people without a single accident.
