THE ALSEA COUNTRY.
An Editorial Outing In a Region of Thril
ling Interest.
Waldpoit, Or., Auk- 12. (Special.)
I have been spending a few days
in tho greatest little salmon bay on
the Pacific coast the Alsea. One
cannery liorc put up 7000 cases lust
year, and the run of fish was larger
than ever before A seine takes out
200 to 300 salmon at a lriul and GOO to'
to 700 have been taken. At an aver
age of 20 lbs to a illsh that would bo
12.000 1O 14,000 lb, of INli.
The Al-ci river an I biy U a p ipu
lar place for fanners rmtu the. interior
to go who want to lay in a supply of
fish for the winter. It is a splendid
outing for a Willamette valley family
to come over the coast range for a
month, get a winter's supply of can
ned blackberries, all the fresh salt and
smoked hsh they want to carry away,
bushels of trout, dead loads of game
with occasionally a deer or bear
thrown In, a quarter taction of good
health, and a whole donation claim
of fun and excitement.
TO ALSEA UAY.
The trip to the Yahats and Wald
port is made from Yaquina or 'New
port. From the latter place the
mail goes daily, except Sunday, run
by John Hackett who has tho govern
ment contract. IIo takes you across
the bay at Newport, where he lias
gjod teams and the drive down the
beach Is like coasting over a billiard
table. Mr. Hackett came from
Toronto in 1883, went to northwest
territory (Asslnaboin) where he was
froze out and came to the coast In
1391, landing on a claim between
Capes Perpetna and Heceta. In 1895
ho came to Soutli beach. He still
owns the rancli at Ten Mile. Mr.
Hackett is a sample of useful and de
sirable citizen, such as Canada sends
thousands of to the states.
At Seal Rocks mall is changed and
for this place I must reserve space in
another letter. The fair hero U 50
cents, On wo go to Waldport, the
fair is 50 cents more, and you get a
sail across Alsea bay about tvo miles
to Waldport. All along the route are
settlements by ranchers and tho mall
stage carries mall and packages for
all leaving South beach, Newport.
Just below the Life station is the cot
tage Prof. Arnold built just before
ho died. lie was President of the
State Agricultural college. These
quarter sections sold for $12,000 to
818,000. Colonel Hogg and his friends
Intended to make tho North beach
terminal faculties of their great
transcontinental line. Just below is
Grants point and tho wreokof tho
General Butler" thut went ashore
last December with a million feet
of lumber. This point Is ono of tho
most dangerous on the coast, as Sher
man Thompson and Georgo Collins
can testify. Tho latter saved his llfo
by going ashore clinging to an old
marcs tail.
That happened when he was Indian
Agent under President Grant at Ya
hats. Win. Grant, the laird of Foe-
rar lias the next place, and hero was
thoHlto of tho $9000 summer hotel
that burned down in tho summer of
1893.
IN Till! DAYS OP 11000.
In tho palmy days of tho Hogir ad
ministration land sold hero for $250
an acre. Tho Lulrd kept open house
' and fortune smiled and frowned on
him alternately, so that ono season
found him u millionaire and another
flat broke.
Below lies a young whalo about
forty feet long in dimensions bat four
' miles in pcrfumo. Tho summer re
sort of Seal Rocks Is next reached.
.Before entering the city wo go
through Ocean View addition, owned
by Salem and Portland parties. Thero
is a beautiful rlslngcxpanso of ground
thut. has room fo r terraces and cot
tages and other improvements yet to
bo made.
Stanford is four miles below, whore
there was a canuory formerly, owned
by the Harrisons, now at Waldport
across the Hay. Jos. Kaullman runs
the postonico and store. He came
from Cascade, Montana. Lutgcus is
ihree tjllartors of d iiilld above, wllOro
Henry Nice now runs the Cannery,
KEADY'S TOWN StTE.
Hon. W. P. Keady, a former Salem
Itc, was otic of the orlgnal settlers on
Alsea bay. lie homestcadod a quarter
section including part of the level
town site of Waldport, and extending
out to the rocky point at the entrance
to the harbor. Mr. Keady 's land
would make a beautiful summer re
sort itself. It is covered to the beach
with fir, spruce and cedar trees 20 to
40 feet high. It is warm and sunny
sheltered from all winds and he is
planning to put on a colony of cot
tages. On the Keady place Is a grave said
to be tho last resting place of the first
while woman who came Into the
Alsea bay country. A split picket
fence encloses tho grave on three
sides, one side having fallen down.
This grave should be preserved as a
mouunient to the faith and devotion
of a pioneer who penetrated to this
Jumping-oir place. 1 could not learn
tho women's name, or I would be
glad to print, but I have no doubt
there arc settlets still living who re
member It well.
ON TUG HOCKS
Besides the wonderful trout fishing
on the Yahats, there are the "Rocks"
between that river and Waldport,
where for a mile and a half the v, agon
road runs on top of a bench of basalt
only from ten to twenty above th
old Pacific herself. The rook- arc
covered with grass. Back of tills is
green timber. The finest ocean fish
ing with pole and line ls off these
rocks. Here are also the most won.
derful smelt beds on tho coast. The
smelt run is here from May to Sep
tember and spawn on a peculiar shell
bottom. These smelt are harder and
larger than thoso we get from the
Columbia and the sound. You can
take them out with your hands. A
man told mc he had a suit of gunnybag
bloomers witha pucker-string at the
bottom. He puts them on, wades In
pulls the string and goes ashore with
a barrel of smelt in Ills bloomers. The
Slletz Indians come here and dry
them.
SOME ACQUAINTANCES.
At Waldport I met Dr. Given and
his sons, who conduct a mercantile
business. Ed Given, or "Battle-axe"
IS.
rv.-y
Foot Blood
is starved blood. It shows itself
in pale cheeks, white lips, weak
digestion, no appetite, exhaus
tion, lack of nerve force, soft
muscles, and, chief of all, weak
muscles. Your doctor calls it
Anaemia. He will tell you that
the weakening weather of sum
mer often brings it on.
iCOttS
Emulsion
of Cod-iiver Oil with Hypo
phosphites, will make poor blood
rich. It is a food for over-taxed
and Wfcafc digestion, so prepared
that it can easily be taken in
summer when Cod-liver Oil or
even ordlnar y foods might repel.

Ed, as his fellow travelling men call
him, is one of the best men on the
road. Dr. Given practices his pro
fession for twenty miles into the in
terior. W. E. Wann, who had the
Arnold place at Salem, has a largo
ranch south of here on tho Yahats.
Chas. L. Dlven is to be the new post
master here. J. M. Collins lives just
abovo town, ne went through to At
lanta with Sherman on his march to
tho sea, and owned the site of the In
dian farm at Yahats when Geo. P.
Litchfield was Indian agent. Collins
taught Goy. Lord to cat clams. I
found Jas. Anderson, the Woodburn
blacksmith, mending nets in a can
nery, lie and his wife are in splendid
health, but lost a horse, a cow und
their only baby all within a year. Ho
has a first-class blacksmith shop and
good home, besides a fifty acre ranch.
JEFF MYERS TOOK A "WALK.
Col. Jeff Myers, who bought 180
acres of land just below Waldport, got
Capt. W. R. Wakefield, justice of the
peace and proprietor of the Alsea
house, at Waldport, to show him
over tho land. It extends from tho
beach to tho mountains, is covered
with some big timber, and the usual
scattering wealth of salal, huckel
berry, rhododendron and rhinoceros
berries. Captain Wakefield has a stiff
knee on ono leg and a limp in his
walk. Col. Myers felt sorry for Cant.
Wakefield when they started out and
wondered whether tho captain could
keep up. When thoy got through with
their seven-mile tramp in an hour
and a half over hill and dale Myers
felt sorry for the other man in the
party. Wakotioldliad worsted tho city
real estate man and was still fresh as
a young oik on the mountain sldo and
ready to tako tho next Salem man out
and show him a tract of land. Myers
was wet and muddy from head to
foot. Ills shoes woro soaked, his col
lar was melted down, and his rosy
complexion had taken on a brighter
tint. Butj. ho was plucky and sat down
to a big dinner and took the afternoon
mail for Newport.
THE MAYOI OF WALDl'OUT,
Captain Wakefield has probably
made more voyatres across tho Atlan
tic and Pad lie and to tho antipodes
than any man in Oregon. He has
papers showing ttiut ho was njastqr of
vessels and owner, and ha now the
bctcenter-lmid yacht on tho bay.
His den is a justice olllce, a library,
a arsenal and political club room.
The yarns that the sports of land and
and sea spin here put an ordinary
newspaper man completely in the
shade. The best trip Wakefield ever
made was when ho broucht the lady
who became his wife from Grinish,
Englaud, a most excellent house
keeper, who sets a table that satisfies
the wants of the hungry as well as
tho most fastidious tast. Their only
daughter's husband is a trusted em
ploye of one of the Vatidorbilts of
of Now York, a young Englishman,
who came to the Yahats to get his
bride. He is probably the only man
in Now York who lias a wife from
the Webfoot coast.
SPORTSMAN'S PARADISE.
This is a paradise for the man who
loves sport. Here are deer, elk, bear,
cougar, and small game. But I was
pleased with its sollder qualities. I
could write a book on the Alsea region

INSURANCE RATES.
Oregon Pays More Than Any Other
Known Section,
In an address at Lancashire, Eng
land, H. O. Essex, of the Lancashire
Insurance company, estimates tho
average rate charged in different
countries as follows:
France, 8 cents por $100 insurance.
Germany,15 cents por-SlOO Insurance.
England,20 cents per $100 Insurance.
Austria, 30 cents por $100 insurance.
Australia, 38 cents per $100 insu
rance. Russia, 01 cents por $100 insuranco.
United States, 100 cents per $100 in
surance. Many other reliable estimates may
bo found agreeing with tho abovo. In
Oregon the average rate is about 200
cents per $100. Why is this vast difference?
