"rJrr". I.I i! . . .. VOLUME 22 TOLEDO, LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1914 NUMBER 27 0 ginmln Newport The Bandon pnssed out over the bar at 2:30 p. m. Saturday with a cargo of 600,000 feet of lumber bound for San Pedro, California. The aoundings at hint) tide showed 191 feet of water on the bar. The Oilie S., Capt. Carner, master, did the piluting. This is the fifth trip the Bandon has made since com mencing to take lumber from To ledo. 1 understand the next vessel to come for lumber will be the Fifleld from San Francisco. This is a fine vessel, equipped with electric lights and wireless. It is an elegantly equipped vessel in all its appointmennts and will carry 39 passengers and as much lumber as the Bandon. The fishing schooner Daisy came in from the halibut beds with 23 tons of halibut, but not finding sale for that amount of fish here, she went to Seattle. She will return in about a week. The crowds that are coming to Newport continue about the same. Saturday and Sunday the trains bronght in over a thousand people. The weather in the Valley con tinues bot and the cool breezes uf the seashore bring the people here. It is pleasant at Newport. Tr.e thermometer range from 65 to 70 Farenheit. in Ibe shade. The beaches and hills arc lined with people enjoying themselves. It is an extremely dry season and the northwest winds blow pretty strong and the duet is quite disagreeable, but the people don't complain. Late at night ban fires are built and hundreds of people gather around them to roast clams, spin yarns, dance, sing and play pranks on each ether. Everybody is in K3cd humor. The roaring, splash ing waves of the Pacific in front, the starry heavens above and the green, towering mountains rising one above the other in the east, casting their shadows to the west, makes a most beautiful picture, and to sea the sun go down, as it seems, in the ocean casting its gol den rsys upon the clouds in the sky makes a scene long to be remem bered. Newport has been favored by the high class entertainments that bavo been given, this year. The last of July William Wallace Graham, assisted by Mr. A. A. Hutchinson, gave a grand concert at the Midway Theatre to a large and appreciative audience, Mr. Graham spent ten vears in Germany studying music. He is one of the greatest musicians of the world. His favorite instrument is the vio lin and he certainly knows how to use the bow to bring out the nicest, sweetest music one ever beard. The Misses Branch of Yaquina, atodied musie under Mr. Gratiam and that is the reason why they arc so accomplished in music, and that is why their services are so ofteo demanded at public gather ings. They made a special study of violin music. Miss June Reed, one of the world's greatest violin ists, assisted by Miss McElroy at the piano, and Mrs. Hampton at the organ and Mr. Dunswcrtb at the cello rendered some of the finest pieces of music Newuort people have heard for many days. The violin is said to be the King of all musical instruments and Miss Reed must be the Queen that knows bow to uso it Some thirty-five years ago the celebrated John Kcl lev, violinist, played fur the people of Newport and it was thought to be the best and sweetest music they had ever heard. Mr. holley played by air and not by note and it was certainly fine, and the skill he had in handling the bow was remark able, but he is not to be compared with Miss Reed or Mr. Graham. These celebrated violinist's fame is world-wide. The Midway Theatre wis crowded to hear Mr. Graham and tho Prrsbytciian church was sealed to its full capacity to hear Miss Iked. We now hnve at Newport eight er ten real cuw boys with their lucking horses broufiht from Pen dleton nnd Walla Walla. They offer a nrizc of ?50 for any horas thry rarnnt ride. Wild steers and I til's will bIfo be in the ring to be tode, alto mules if they can be lad. Tv.cnty-fivo Indians, men and wmion, will ba on hand drcoocd up in ail the paraphernalia of the Indian wnr iloneo. This of itself " will plciipc tho people, but tho wild wist chow will be the biggest thing out here. If it is a success the boys want to make it an annual COUNTY NEWS business to'have one roundup some time in August of each year, while the people are here and before the State fail commences. On Friday, before the show commences the cowboys will ride through town from Newport to Nye Creek and ' "shoot up the town" like they did in an early day in Montana and Eastern Oregon. This will be ex citing. The time for holding the roundup will be Saturday and Sun day. August 15th and 16th at bak er's ball ground. Fiegles Creek A gentle shower over night.
