Tho Sunday excursion was ntnrly

Novum. Ilo Is giving close personal
attention to handling the crowds,
and whou It It considered that nolthoi
tho road nor tho equipment Is flrHt
c1ubb, tho results might bo a groat
"rtcnl worse, To carry ton or twolvo
thousand peoplo to Newport and
linck without ho much as a scratch
to unyouo Is no small performance.
'This has boon dono for many yimrs
not a wreck to speak of for fourteen
years, In which time lfiO.OOO pli

"mountains and across tho hay a
warvoloiiB achievement.
Oono ItcgliiN to Work.
What a refreshment to loavo tho
3iot valley with dusty highways and
parched fluids, rldo up into tho cool
Jonry mountains and feel tho llrat
touch of the salt ocean
socks, low brown shoes, little flat
hats, and a smilo that crumbles tho
opon-mouthed femnlnlty Into willing
BUbmlHslon. Tho girls tako turns
sitting on each others laps, The two
young follows Bit on each otherB
laps. All chow gum and' thoro 1b
ondlcBs tittering. But they are hav
ing an awful good tlmo and why
not? Ono thing we feel grateful for
thoro wasn't a toddy bear or n
poodle-dog on tho trnln.
An old rancher sat on a pilo of
tics, whittling as our train pulled In
and remnrked: "Them city people
miiHt bo a dirty lot that hundreds of
them have to come over a hundred
and fifty miles to Kot a bath. I
wouldn't go J CO feet." Uefore tho
lis here with his wife. Like moat
lawyers, he has an aversion to cold
water. Tho fondness of tho profes
sion for getting people Into hot
water makes surf bathing at New
port unpopular with members of the
bar. So Oruber bathes in tho sun
shine and revls in tho oceans of
ozono that are blown across the
lllimltablo Pacific.
Miss Forbes, a Polk county teach
er, formorly from Fort Dodge, la.,
a niece of Secretary Forbes of the
Salem Y. M. C. A was among the
wave-Jumpers, over Sunday.
M. Bredemolor and wife, formorly
of Salem, now with tho Eastern
Manufacturing Co., Portrland, aro
here for a few days to get a Bnlff of
salt water. It 1b remarkablo at tho
seaside, how devoted a man can bo
to almost any woman but his wife.
Sho does not oven havo to bo hand
some to attract his attontlon. For a
man who has kept store so long,, was
Sunday school superintendent a long
tlmo and Is now a traveling man, M.
Dredemelor is vory devoted to his
wife. But then ho 1b verv homely
and sho does not object.
Would Not Answer an Encore.
It Is noticenblo that about tho only
married men who really enjoy the
Burf bathing aro Uiobo who havo

Fred Hurst, the Salem real oetato

him from paying too union attention
to business. Ho has not been in tho

Harry DovlPlas, tho Albany pea

Tho liitebriial Hath Popular.
Newport Is not n perfect buccoss
as n dry town. In noarly twenty
years experience i navo nover seen
as many empty bottle adorning tho
beach.
A aoasldo rosort draws many peo
plo who spond money froely. If
they cannot spond tholr money In
tholr own way thoy will stay away.
This class who go to Newport carry
suit oasos with liquor supplier.
So there aro Bald to bo any number
or "blind plgB" running. Albany
and olhor placos aro infested with
lioya' clubs, who chip in and ordor
liquor shipped in, and indulge in
carousing. Those minors were uot
allowed In saloons. Not wUhlng to
be seen coming out of a blind pig
thoy stay In thorn until beastly
drunk.
Lawyer Geo. G. Blnghnm of Salem
l,i n devoted surf bathor, one of tho
exceptions of tho bar. But he likjs
It best when there is no nor'west'ir
on. He says ho llks tho cold water,
but can't Btand It to bo hit h tho
cold air. Ho wont back to Salem to
