taken in autos about the city, in
the afternoon a further program was
held at which time some very strong
papers were read and discussion of
topics of interest to the editors was
taken up. Following this a ban
quet was served in the tea room of
the domestic science building at the
college. This banquet was given by
the chamber of commerce and was
served by summer school students
in home economics. We would like
to tell our readers all about theae
splendid Banquets which were serv
ed at the various places but space
would not permit us to do so. Suf
fice it to say that they were all equal
to this on« which we will give in
detail: Fruit cocktail, .braised, chick

Timbale cases, hot rolls and straw

fers, French ice cream and cake,
coffee and cheese and crackers. Of
courte the feed was only a small
pert of the banquet feature for beau
tiful musical numbers and enliven
ing stories and peppy toasts added
greatly to the enjoyment of the even

Saturday morning a business ses
sion waa held and more papers were
read and farther discussion of trade
subjects had. All o f these were ee-
pectally Interesting to the newspaper
men who derived many new ideas
along the lines of their profession.
At noon another luncheon wee served

Was to take them to Newport for
another day’s outing.
Leaving CorvalHs at 1 p. m. the
train wound its way up through the
▼alley through which flows Mary’s
river to its heed where it crossed
the summit and then commenced the.
descent of the Yaquina river volley
to toe Yaquina bay and harbor. The
trip oeeupied some three hours but
t o * time wee greatly shortened by
the good time that was being had
by everyone in the process of getting
better acquainted and having a gen
eral good time. "Scoop” Harralson
of Corvallis, more explicitly of the
•eaten County Courier, proved to be
one o f the high spots of the trip and
waa always starting something new
on the crowd. Songs were sung, pa
radis through the train staged,
speeohes made and so the three hoars

time. The writer waa fortunate in
securing as a seatmate, Captain Mat
thews, editor of the Yaquina Bay
Newt and also a captain in the coast
artillery.
Captain Matthews haa
lived at Newport for many years
and Is thoroughly acquainted with
the oountry through which we were
phasing and as th * was our first
trip to Newport, the captain's knowl
edge was drawn on by us freely as
we passed point after point.
Arriving at Yaquina we all
hoarded the boat "Newport** \and
completed the trip down, the bay to
Newport elty. Here we were met
by a large committee of Newport
people who comprise the Newport

to our respective places of entertain
ment. It waa oar good fortune to
be sent to the beautiful home of Mr.
and Mrs. R. L. Thomas, whose home
overlooks the ocean itself from a
prominence Just above the big nata-
torlum. After leaving our luggage
and getting squared around we went
down on the beach where the
youthful member of the family tried
to ascertain the shortest route to
the opposite side of the world with
the aid of a ten cent shovel. The
rest of the family tried to Interpret
what the waves were saying. How
ever, this was necessarily cut short
as we were supposed to be at the
community hall by 7 :SO p. m., where
a sea food banquet w m served by
the Newport Oomnuntty club.
There were some things ou that
menu that we didn’t believe were
good to eat before, but we had our
eyes opened, and our understanding
quickened and our appetites whetted
on that occasion. The variety of
sea foods which were served includ
ed Yaquina bey oyster cocktail, clam
chowder, mussels with drawn butter,
baked Chinook salmon, and boiled
halibut with parsley sauce. Of
course there were other things to
eat, too, but these sea foods, taken
directly from the see and cooked
while fresh and by chefs who are
experienced in cooking them, made
a real appeal to the editors.
The people of Newport tried to
outdo the people of Corvallis in the
way of entertainment too. There
was bathing In the surf, bathing in

skating at toe rink, an excursion

At the1 present time the Yamfeill
Electric company is making provis

so for any future business which can
be foreseen at this time. In this en
deavor a (0,000 volt line is being
built from Malloy station on the
Oregon Electric, to Newberg, for a
distance of 12.7 miles. This line
will be of standard construction with
minimum poles of forty feet which
will be of Oregon cedar. This line.
Including transformer« and all equip
ment, will cost when completed in
the neighborhood of $35,090. It will
require a full carload of copper wire
for this line. This means 61.000
pounds of No. 4 copper wire. The
line has been surveyed, the holes are
being dug and the poles are being
delivered for It. A carload of (0.000

take place. The city of Sherwood
will also be accommodated by this
line as It will be tapped at that place
with a 800 kilowatt transformer
which will reduce the voltage from
60,000 to 11,000 to serve the Tuala

At Newberg this line will give a
1500 kilowatt capacity, which is
equivalent to about 2000 horse pow
