Newport. Or., April 16. At the laat
regular meeting of the Commercial club
of Newport and Lincoln county final
arrangements were made for closing
contracts with two popular coast maga-
slnes for advertising space in which
to set forlh the merits of Newport and
Lincoln county.
The committee 6n advertising also
took up the matter of a booklet to be
Illustrated with views representing va
rious parts of the county and giving
full Information In detail.
John flcmlng Wilson, chairman of the
advertising committee, was given a
free hand to collect data and compile
descriptive materials. A fund of 1160
was raised on tne spot.
The boost committee was instructed
o invite waldport. Kernvllle, Blleti,
Toledo. Eddyvllle, Chltwood and Elk
City to send representatives to Newport
within the coming week to agree on
the amount of space and advertising to
be placed in the booklet.
Traveling Passenger Agent Wells of
the Southern Pacific was in attendance
and proposed that the advertising he
undertaken Jointly with the Southern
raciric.
A banauet will be given to the rep.
resentatives of the other towns of the
county at a date to be set later.
sTawport'a Tina Growth.
Newport and Lincoln county have made
phenomenal progress In the past five
vears. in lvua rtewpun o peruiaueni
population waa estimated in the winter
month at 400. At present 1.000 would
be a modest estimate. At the end of
the present fiscal year Newport will
become a third-class postoffice. At
Nye Beach, located in the corporation
OI .Newport, lie summer iutra in
190S numbered 60; there are now 250.
Twelve new cottages are under con
struction today, with good prospects for
a dosen more during the summer. New-

Washington. D. C. April 16. If tha
railroad commission of Oregon follows
the ruling of the Interstate commerce
commission, many local attorneys for
railroads henceforth must go without
annual passes. It has been the practice
of reads to select an efficient and in
fluential attorney in each county along
their lines who could be relied on to
attend to the company's interests, and
while not placing these attorneys on
salary to give them annual passes, as
though they were empioyea by the road.'
Often unless called on to serve in a
particular suit, no money has passed
from the company to the attorney, yet
they are carried on the free transpor
tation list of the road, and the annual
pass Is practically all the compensation
received, it being regarded aa sufficient.
The federal commission has looked Into
this situation with some care and has
ruled that local attorneys of railroads
cannot, . under the existing law, use
passes on interstate journeys. It also
rules that all attorneys who receive
passes must be in the employ of the
company aa their chief occupation, not
aa a mere side issue in their law prac
tice. The federal commission realises
that this ruling will cut off many so
called railroad attorneys who now
travel on Tree transportation, some be
longing to the legislature, others going
to the state capitals to lobby, and still
same purpoae, ana aa alleged regular
attorneys of road having received trans
port a tl or? over connecting 'lines of their
companies.
If the Oregon commission, as in the
past, adopts the policy of following
when possible the federal commission's
rulings, and applies it in this lnstaneo
many uregon attorneys will be deprived
of their perquisites and must go with
out tneir annual passes, being entitled
only to trip passes when actually on
legal business for the corporation.
