r Hi' - -J 1 Run- VOLUME 23 TOLEDO, LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 10th, 191G. NUMBER 30. NEWPORT The Port Commission of New port and the Port Commission of Toledo held a meeting in this city a short time ago for the pur pose of discussing ways and means to get the Yaquina bar harbor improved. Assistant U. .8. Engineer J. S. Polhemus was present at the meeting and gave some valuable suggestions in re gard to the improvement. Said the money for the survey could be secured, but for the improve ment of the harbor the people must bear part of the expense. Hon. B. F. Jones was also pres ent at the meeting and gave some valuable suggestions. He thought the hole county should be back of the movement and the adjacent Valley counties as well. He thought the proposition of improvment of the bar could not be made too strong. In accor dance with his idea, which was endorsed by members of both the port commissions, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we, the members of the Newport and Toledo Port Commissions, being in session the 31st day of August, 1915, join in recommending that as Port Commissioners and cit izens of Lincoln and adjoining counties in the Willamette valley and Eastern Oregon, who are vit ally interested in having a deep sea harbor at Yaquina bay, to work in harmony to call a mass meeting nd put forth our best efforts to obtain an appropria tion sufficient from the govern ment to do this work. And, Be It Further Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that a port commission district be or ganized to embrace the whole of Lincoln County and that a notice be given throughjhe press of the cdunty calling a mass meeting to be held at Newport September 18, 1915, at one o'clock p. m. for the purpose of devising some means to have the Yaquina bar and harbor improved. Signed, O. F. Jacobson, president, New port district iC. B. Crosno, secre tary port of Toledo. F. N. Hayden, Judge Miller and County Commissioners . Wake field and Hurt stayed over night in Newport Monday. The Court is on a .tour of inspection of roads and bridges in the county. Mr. Hayden is taking them, in his auto over the various road districts. They have already in spected the Eastern part of the county, Big Elk, Turn Turn, Lit tle Elk and Yaquina, then going over the big mountain from Nor ton8 to Rock creek In the auto, and now they are on their way to inspect roads and bridges in the South part of the county, Five Rivers, Yachats Ocean View and Alsea. This inspec tion is done for the purpose of gaining a personal knowledge of all sections of the county and to know the condition of the roads and bridges already built and to see where other roads and bridges ought to be built . and to .come in personal contact with the people and learn from them what they want and need. The Northern and Western parts of the county will be visited later. It speaks well for the condition of the roads of the county when autos can go over so many of them. Some 500 autos have come to Newport this year and all speak of the splendid condi tion of the roads from the Valley to the sea. Mr. and Mrs. Frank, who came to Newport in ten hours by auto from Portland, said the road across the moun tain was in splendid condition and was the best road of any coming to the seashore from the Valley. The Pioneer Mountain is the most difficult to cross but is better this year than lust for autos. This mountain can be avoided by running the road up Simpson creek and down the Olalla and connect with the main road at the Towner place. A much better grade could be gotten this way, or the road might be run from Morrison to Elk City and then along the Ya quina river to the mouth of Mill creek. This would give a water COUNTY grade. At the mouth of Mill creek or. at the Butler place a bridge could be put across the Yaquina river and the travel tb.en would almost have a water grade from Nashville to New port. This would also bo a most beautiful Scenic road as well as most excellent way to fish, hunt and camp. The farm ers along the road could furnish everything. The travel would need for good eats milk, butter, eggs, berrieB, vegetables, fish and the finest honey in the world. This could be made with but little cost one of the finest roads in the state. LITTLE ELK Regular Summer weather this. J. D. Barber and Asa Oglesby of Salem passed through here last week enroute for their ranch on Simpson creek. Mr. Barber says that Lincoln county has. the best inducements for the dairy man of any county in Oregon.

SOME HUNTERS (7) During the recent hunting trip of our fellow townsman, n. V Baker, to the Yachats, a party of tenderfeet sportsmen, who were camped near by, were loud in their condemnation of that sec tion of the coast as a hunting range. They derided and Jeered , at every Btatement of the natives that deer were plentiful, and as Droof of their unbelief, rterl.ireri that during the three weeks they naa oeen-At tne Yach&ts they had not even seen nor heard one. Mr. Baker told them they must be blind as well as deaf. for. he told them, he had to catch the deer and tie them un to keen them for disturbing his slum bers at night, and as proof of this he Invited them over to his camp. Thev followed him and sure enough there was a young duck lying in tne fence corner with his feet seoiirplv fieri An a matter of fact, the night before a dog had chased the deer to the creek near the camp where it fell completely exhausted and Mr. Baker drove the dog away ana ilea tne aeer rast. The ten derfeet were nonplussed and af ter satisfying themselves that tne captive really was a deer, re turned to their camp and got their guns and begged Mr. Ba ker to allow them to shoot It. lie finally agreed, providing they would give the deer a chance for its life, so he stationed the four nlmrods about 60 yards away and turned the animal loose. As it made its first leap toward the brush about . 100 yardH away, they opened a rapid lire cannon ade riddling everything In that neighborhood except the deer which escaped without a scratch They left for their valley hones last week, feeling that Mr. Baker should have caught another deer for them to practice on.
