You Take No Chances When You Buy Groceries At This Store Camp Content, Nye Creek, Or. Aug. 12, 1907. Ed. Gazette: Have you ever made the trip from Nye Creek to the lighthouse at Cape Foul weather, on a windy day, going by beach - as far as possible and then climbing up steep bluffs to the trail on top of the mountain, banging bv the skin of your teeth to the face of a cliff while 200 feet below you the old Pacific dashed and roaredH If not, you have missed a rare experience in life and one' that, once goae through, is enough to satisfy even the most exacting, providing the wind is almost a hurricane, as it was today, and the sand and dirt filled eyes and hair as you clung frantically to your head gear and forged ahead.. Leaving camp at 8:40 this fore noon five of us made the trip along the beach, reaching the government domain at 10:45. En route we. spent much time watch ing the maneuvers of a large school of whiles that have been lving close in to shore for a week. They are after the herring which are running now, and the antics of these monsters is one of the sights of the beach that is really worth seeing. - Today, several whales were so close to the beach that we could see tbem as plainly as we could any object" 50 feet away. With a big puff they continually threw the fore part of their bodies out of the water, and man on the bluff fired several shots at them, two of which caused the whales to send up a big shower of sptay as they dashed away. Reaching tbe lighthouse one is requested, to register, and then begins the ascent of the iron spiral stairway that leads to the top of the high tower. Up, up. up one goes, and finally stands by tbe side of the immense light that throws it rays 19 miles out to sea, night after night, warning passing vessels of the dangers that lurk inland. ''The tower shakes when the wind blows a gale," said the man who watches the light; but when ask if the task did not grow burdensome, especially in the winter, he repli ed, "No, for there is plenty to do to keep me busy all the time." This light is a huge brass lamp of 500 candle power, surrounded bv a glass reflector on all sides, the prisms so arranged that tht- rays ot light are focused and con centrated in such a manner that they are thrown out 19 miles to j sea. The refl.cted light is 8,780 candle power. The tower is 81 feet from the base to the center of the light, and the light is 101 teet above sea level. Uoal oil of a fine quality is used for the amp. Everything about the lighthouse is substantial and scrupulously clean, and tne government employes are polite and entertaining. On the trip to this point two steamers were sighted far out, neaded northward. After eating lunch in the yard surrounding the tower, we began he boose ward x trip, the wind nving increased until it was with j re at difficulty and discomfort that we reached camp at 2:30, It is an eight mile tramp, but one soon forgets to complaia of distance, dirt, bluffs, and other difficulties when camped at this resort. . Nye Creek and Newport, blessed by nature in the way of natural advantages, c-uld easily be made into ideal xesorts that would enjoy tbe patronage 01 the majority of pleasure-seekers in tbe Willamette Valley. As it is, however, there is nothing save what nature has provided: no clean, nictly arranged camping sites and kindred accommoda tions are here, but fern and salal brush grow unrestricted and even for these plats ot ground tbe charges are, to say the least, sufficient from the campers' standpoint, at least. It is a great place to develop an appetite and everything "looks good in the line of edibles. . It is also a' great place for the development of freckles and "nerve." The former are as numerous as the sands on the beach, while "nerve" seems to be the rule, especially among the "younger set," judging from ap pearance. . "On the beach" is a condition that seems to estab lish a free masonry among tbe young men and women that leads to great jollity and merriment. The amusements are the dance hall and the skating rink. Is the atmosphere elevating? This is a question that seems to cause very little concern among the devotees ot the beach. Surf bath ing is enjoyed by a large crowd eaca aay, and good lorm" or "bad form" it is all the same everybody bathes, even "father borne or the treats woo appear on the sands in abbreviated cos tumes, and disport themselves in the waves would surely have the grace to blush could see them selves as others see them. Pos sibly this would work a hard ship on the proprietor ef the bath house,- however, for tew indeed are the women who look pretty in a soppy, water soaked suit, minus sleeves and decent length of skirt, and where is the female who does not, at' all times and places, aim to be pretty? Lack ing this element she lacks one of the essentials of true womanliness Since, however, she is happy in her ignorance of how she looks to othere in a bathing suit, she will continue, no doubt, to add to tbe entertainment and amuse ment of the on lookers at this re sort for time immemorial. "Sol mote it be." BIS TIMBER DEAL Local Capitalist Disposes of Tract in Benton County. A Good Trade. Negotiations are understood to be pending between M. B. Ran kin, of Portland, and a syndicate of timber buyers whereby the lat ter will secure title io 30,000 acres ot timber land iu Benton county, says the Oregcmian of the 13th. The deal involves ap proximately $t, 500,000. Timber cruisers have been sent out to re-estimate the stai ding timber en these lands. A party of 30 men has left tor CorvalHs to go through the Rankin tracts and report the quantity of timber on the 30,000 acres. It is under stood this work will require a month. The deal will not be closed until this estimate is com plete. The land included in the deal is nearly all in Benton county, but some of it lies in Lincoln near the Benton "border. The tract is all in one body and is said to be as fine a tract of standing' fir timber as there is on the Pacific Coast. - M. B. Rankin is said to have been securing the individual tracts in Benton county surround ing bis original holding for the past few months. At present he holds tbe entire tract of 30,000 acres in one holding. The deal now pending is one of the largest transactions of the year in Oregon timber lands. The fact that Oregon timber is being so eagerly sought shows how desirous outside people are of obtaining it and it proves the increasing -value of Oregon fir. At Fischer's Mill.
