We reached Netarts via Tilla mook City betore night but found the place so congested that we returned a mile or tw o into the woods for a night’s lodging. The next day we visit ed Hebo, Beaver, Pleasant Val ley and Pacific City. Pacific City will be a fine camping place for some time to come or until it becomes too popular and too populous. The last lap of the trip was a hummer for speed. Leaving Pa cific City in the middle of the afternoon we arrived home be fore dark. We got glimpses of cities and towns as we came through, the name' of one of which I distinctly remember being McMinnville. The party was made up by Mr. Crocker on the afternoon of the day before the start was made and consisted of his family and Mrs. Eleanor Palmer of Portland, and the families of W. W. Silver, John Crater, R. W. Staley and J. U. Smith. We kept going all the time and never went back for anything. I have traveled with some tolerably swift people in my time, but should^any of you r. readers ever start out to follow Rev. H. G. Crocker and his Ford, I advise that the machine be stripped for action. The grass was green at the coast but for beauty of scenery Chehalem Valley looked good when we got back in com parison to any place we saw.

Early on the morning of August 1st, without taking a last look at the smiting Cbebalem Valley, glad to leave behind the toil and dust ot civi lization, five families, hereinafter mentioned, with tents and grub in their autos started out. The inhabitants were up and around when we reached Forest Grove; the sawmills were run ning'when we passed through Columbia county; the lights were burning upon our arrival in Astoria and they had gone to bed when we reached Gearhart and Seaside. The next forenoon Mr. Crocker enjoyed communing with his en gine and tires at Seaside. Bolts, spring, screws and wires had been flying a la Dr. Yak.

Reed to whom she was to be married bn August 15, Only the day before Mr. Reed had left her here at the end o f a short visit, when final preparations were made for the event which they had been looking forward to in the exuberance of youth as the most happy and eventful exper ience of their lives. The drowning occured at Co~ Zeeman, Wash., 25 miles east of Kelso and the accout of it waa given in the Oregonian as fol lows: "Young Reed has been working* for the past tw o Sommers in the logging camp of the P ort land Lumber Company and it * was in the turbulent waters o f the flume near the camp that young Reed met his untimely death.

"The men had opened t w o gates and as they were lifting the third, the force of the stream tore loos« a 12 inch plank which came flyibg through the air, to w ards the tw o men.

"The gates were closed and the flood stopped and the body was found a short time afterwards about half a mile down stream.” W. W. Hollingsworth went to Portland Friday morning and brought the body to Newberg and in the evening Miss Esther and h«r sister, Mrs. A. C. Martin, left here with it for Hemet, Cali fornia, the home of the parents of the unfortunate young man. Mr. Reed was a student in O. A.

There was to have been a double church wedding on Wed nesday ol next week, the other couple being the older sister. Miss Gertrude Hollingsworth and George A. Gwin. The latter couple will have a very quiet wedding at that time, with none- but the immediate relatives in attendance. Many kindly words of sympa thy have been spoken for Miss Esther in her sore bereavement. - C R A T E R LA K E r»w- W e ’ve again come to life and we’re rested.

D u n l a p of Portland, died at the hospital in Portland on Tuesday July 31st, 1917, at the age of 50 years 7 months and 8 days. The sudden death of Mr. Dun lap who has made his borne in Amity almost continuously tor a number ot years, cast a gloom over the city. Mr. Dunlap was President of the Holly Condens ed Milk and Cereal Company here, and has been interested in the factory, acting in the capaci ty of an officer nearly the entire time since its first organization. He was highly capable as a busi ness man and his loss will be keenly felt. He had just returned home from Pennsylvania a few days ago, where he has been su pervising the construction of a new factory for the company. Mr. Dunlap leaves to mourn his loss, his wife and little son. Burr. The funeral was held yesterday morning at the Holman Funeral Parlors in Portland, and inter ment was made in the Rose City cemetery.—Amity Standard. The deceased was a brother of A. P. Dunlap, of Newberg, but the latter did not get to attend the funeral as he did not get word of the death of his brother until the afternoon ot the day it was held. The relatives did not know he had returned from Cali fornia and consequently sent word to Pasadena and by the time it was sent back here it was too late.
