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.
Mrs. Palmer has composed the
following which was duly issued
by the Crockers. (She rode in
the back seat of the Crocker car).

Editor Graphic: lam asked to
tell aboht it. 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. The
remainder of the party content­
ed' themselves sightseeing and
the Smith family sought in vain

quarter of a century ago, now
covered with houses, garages,
cement sidewalks and pavement,
city water works and sewers.
The ocean is still there status

camped at Manzanita, Nehalem,
where we had a "blow out” of

NEWBERG, YAMHILL COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1917
VOL. XXVIII
August 15
On Thursday ot last week a
telegram was received from Kel-
js o, Wash., by Miss Esther Hol­
lingsworth, telling otthe untime­
ly death by drowning, of Frank
L. 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. Reed was helping the
damkeeper open the gates t o
turn loose the flood at the tim e
of the accident.
"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. Reed stepped
back to dodge it and stepped to o
far, falling into the stream which

mendous velocity.
"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. C. where he was taking a
coarse inloggingengioeering and
would have graduated next year.
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.

BROTHER OF A. P. DUNLAP DEAD
S. C. 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.
HISTORY OF CRATER LAKE

"While standing on the rim of
the lake in 1885 with Professor
Joseph LeConte. the thought oc­
curred to me that no point

other marks of desolation, and
that something should be done

the question, so I turned to the
professor for counsel. We dis­

CENSUS WITHOUT WRITING
The next census o f the United

person will ask how in the world
it can be done.

The cards will contain all the

When the cards are returned to

machine will punch new cards o f
the smaller size, the holes being
relatively in the same position in
the old and new cards. Then the
counting will be done by ma­
