of this county, who left" here and
went to live in Oklahoma, is

family to old Benton. Mr. Durst
expects to leave Oklahom about

"We can't express our joy of
being able to come back to Ore

Oklahoma a year. We did nof
have rain from the 30th day of
October till the 28th day of April
and heavy winds all. winter, or
rather sand storms. If a great
many of those dissatisfied people
in Oregon could live through one
such winter here, they would go
back to Oregon satisfied."

tounaay was an iaeai day lor an
excursion to Yaquina Bay. The
day dawned with a light fog hang
ing over the city, a good omen that
the weather on the coast will be
clear. But the fog disappeared as
soon as the foot-hills were reached,
and the eun shone out clear and
comfortably warm. About sixty
Corvallisites were at theC. & E. de
pot when the west-bound train pul
led in at .dU. lhe cars were com
fortably filled and the clear, bracing
air of the mountain made the three
1. ours ride one ot exceeding delight
The steamer, "Roscoe" took three
loads of inexperienced sailors out
over the bar, many of whom, on
their return, were considerably
crestfallen. The Life Saving crew
gave an exhibition in the surf,
demonstrating some of their meth
ods in reaching ship-wrecks. It
seemed as though nearly all took
advantage of the .fine condition of
the; surf and went bathing. The
little folks dug in the sand and rac
ed along the beach hunting agates
and pretty shells. . It was just such
a day as Nature conspires to create
when she seeks to do her best.
