VOLUME 23 TOLEDO, LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8th, 1915. NUMBER 34 COUNTY NEWS News, of each Community Gathered each week by Our 'Rustling? Associate Editors ' ' NEWPORT . The Newport Port Commis sion held a meeting in the coun cil chamber Monday the , 4th, both fore and .afternoon to con sider the proposition of making a landing at South Beach.. AU the members of the Commission were present, viz: Thos. Lease, Ted Moore, Ed Stocker, it. F. Baker and Captain Jacobson. The Captain presided af the meeting. A delegation from Waldport, headeu by Dr. C. E. Linton, was present, also D.-.S. Conrad and O. O. Gocrch, repre senting Pacific View and Har borton. These new towns cover the ground on Fouth Beach on tbo homestead of 'L. E. Davis These new cities have been sur veyed, platted and laid ofT into town sites and are now seeking recognition as embryo cities. Dr. Linton was called for and responded with an elopuent ad dress, advocating advancement and progression. Said when he first went to Waldport ha was ac companied byLee Doty, owner of the mall contract. "On the way down to Waldport (I sup pose at Seal Slocks) I saw a hat laying on the mud. I started to pick it up, and all at once I heard a voice away down ln the mud yelling, 'hold on; that is my hat.' The Doctor and Doty got the man out and after he had time to get his breath, he said, "Still below me is my horse, and you must help me get him out," and after several hours of hard work the horse was gotten out also. "This wan the muddiest place I ever saw," Bald Dr.. Lin ton. ' The road ought to be made better." The Doctor said that this same road had been so Improved that an auto going at the rate of twenty miles an hour can pass "over it This is pro gression. This story reminds me of the old deacon, who' was always chiding his members for telling big stories. He said, "Brothers and Sisters, I have shed barrels of tears over your misfortune, but no doubt the roads were bad in the early days when the people traveled in primitive ways. Dr. Linton was very much in earnest and Is a great advocate of building good roads and harbors. He said the people of Waldport would help pay the' expense of such Im provement He said- the Port Commission at Waldport had $500 of port money that was ly ing idle. If It was possible the people of Waldport ,would put the money up to help dig a chan nel or build a tramway to the landing. Messrs. Gooch and Conard were also very anxious to have the improvement made and a good landing secured or a . tramway built The distance would be about one half mile. One plan suggested is to dredge a channel from buoy No. 8 to the landing four feet deeD and fifty feet wide. The cost of this i would be about $2,600. There Is so much still, dead water on the south side of the bay that a channel could not be kept open by the current. ;The wind and storms would soon wash in the sand and mud and the channel would soon be filled up again. ' Some of the speakers thought it wrong to experiment with, the peoples money; tnought we. enouia Know what can be done before emending, any movey. Some are of the opinion that it would be better and cheaper to build i tramway. The South Beach people will, no doubt, put In the docks at their own ex pense. Tbe people are getting . tired of high taxes and the cities . of the county have already as much debt as-they can' handle. A resolution was unanimously passed at the meeting levying a two mill tax on the property of me district to pay for the lm proveraent. A two mill tax will ' raise $2,000. If this amount should not be. sufficient to make ' the Improvement the South Beach people will make un the deficiency. The Improvement is needed and there will be some way to make it.

THEN AND NOW Half a century ago today the few people then living on Ya quina Bay began negotiating for a small steamer vo run between that nort and San Francisco, it peclally as it was proposed to connect with the old wagon road to Corvallis and try to Induce the Valley merchants to aid the pro ject. At that time the only craft propelled by steam on Ya ,qulna Bay was the old Pioneer, which did service between the terminus of the wagon road and Yanulna. Whether the nrolect was much of a success is not now known, but it brings out the fact that Yaquina Bay was then on the map. and that with the passing years (hat particular part of the picturesque Oregon coast has come Into the prom inence It bo Justly deserves, not only as a convenient . shipping point, but as one of the finest .beach resorts anywhere alone the Pacific. Fifty years, ago It took three or four days to drive to the beach and even In that time it was a Journey of more discom- ifort than pleasure. Now autos can make the run and back in a day, while the.trlp can be made In a few hours over the Southern Pacific under the moat comfort able conditions amid some of the wildest scenery through the Coast Range and upon arrival the . visitor has everything to choose from in the way of ac commodation. Half a century has made, some wonderful least of them is the trin to New. i port and the pleasure of a day's , outing at the beach orthejoy of spending a longer period at so I mvitng a resort as the now fa- mouB one between Yaquina- Bay ni me ocean. .
