Col. E. Ilofer of Salem came
over Friday to spend a week at
lxla Agate Beach cottage for rest
and recreation. ' While here he
will put in an early garden for
.the benefit of his family, who
will come later. ' ' 1
W. P. Keady and M. G. Nease
of Portland come over to spent
a few days at the seashore and
to enjoy a dish of Yaqulna bay's
fine native oysters. Mr. Nease
made a proposition to the Coun
ty Court to cruise the timber of
Lincoln county, ' also to make
a photographic map of the coun
ty at a cost of twelve and one
lialf cents per acre or a total cost
of $40,000 or $50,000 to the
county. This would be unwise
at this time. The county is still
In debt and the times are dull
and many are not able to pay
their taxes. The timber owners
are now paying sixty per cent of
the taxes and 8 re making no
f U3S about it. The timber sales
and the lumber markets are dull
and it is no time now to add to
the burden of taxation. Besides
Jf the timber is cruised it will go
on record and it may not be sat
isfactory and result in expensive
litigation to the taxpayers as It
has done in other counties.
' The Tillamook, Capt. Johnson
with freight for Newport, Sius
law and Bandon, was in port.
' The Tillamook nd Patsy will
make regular trips on this run
duiiug the Summer. These
boats will carry passengers. A
' schedule of dates of arrival and
departure will soon be published,
We will soon have a splendid
ocean service. The Mlrene and
Ahwaneda will still continue
their regular trips.
4 At the' last meeting of the
Commercial Club M. S. Wood
cock proposed a set of resolu
tions asking the Club to take up
the matter of trying to induce
the S. P. management to extend
the Corvallis & Eastern railroad
to Newport. On motion of
Thomas Leese, seconded by R.
A. Bensell, the resolution was
adopted. On motion of S. G.
Irvin the following-named per
sons were appointed as a com
mittee to formulate a plan to
present to the railroad company,
S. G. Irvin, Thomas Leese, A. L.
Thomas, Elmer Patrick and M.
S. Woodcock. The proposition
was so hastily brought before
the Club and bo quickly disposed
of that the people did not have
time to think the matter over,
but afterwards a good many
more signed the petition. Mr.
Irvin, P. A. Bensell, M. S. Wood
cock and others made speeches
In favor of the extension. The
most important thing in the res
olutions was to have the road
extended to Newport, and the In
centive offered was the twenty
five cents fare each way to the
:-. railroad company Instead of to
; the boat company. The length
"-' of time this money was to bo
paid was not stated and the ac
' Uon the state railroad commis
sion might take on the matter
"was not discussed. The regular
fare is three cents a mile. To
allow more than that might con
flict with the law. It would be
a nice thing to have the road ex
tended both for Newport and the
general public. The company
can expend the road if It .so de
sires, even if It don't get the
tweuty-five cents.
The contract to finish the grad
ing of Case street road was let
to Mr. Crowder. When the
grading Is done the road will be
planked. Newport goes right
along with her Improvements
notwithstanding the hard times,
At the Council meeting last
