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.
