SOME FAMILIAR NEWPORT CHARACTERS
"Written for Tho Capital Journal by Joseph Patterson.
Far abovte the ordinary aro the
many Interesting characters who
dwell in the districts of Yaqulna
Bay. These men in time will be
come a -part of tbe legends of West
ern Oregon and their histories will
be recorded long after the names of
men of prominence and affluence at
the present time have faded from
-sight in tho oblivion of time.
Among these Is old man Buzzard,
V -who, at the age of 85, guards the
woods at the edge of Newport which
aro ownied by the Southern Pacific
company. Hero, in a llttlo cabin on
a small clearing made free of
-charge by some unknown men, who
incidentally sold the wood which
they had accumulated while clear
ing, at tho end of a two-mllo trail
through a dense forest lives tho
jgray headed man.
Tho first time Uo was visited, he
was found seated by his dog calmly
smoking his pipe, doubtless ab
sorbed in tho reverie of hfB past long
life of patient toll, which was grad
ually drawing to a close in a lonely
spot away from the haunts of man.

Thus, In the capacity of watchman,
he was still able to earn and prob
ably receiving remuneration for the
first time without giving in exchange
hours of hard labor.
His sincere welcome, spoken in a
voice as soft as a Persian's, was im
mediately a bond of friendship;
and his eyes lighted up in the pros
pect of a chat with somebody from
town, which was another world to
him. Being allowed to chooso the
topics of tho conversation that fol-
owod tho greeting, ho proceeded to
explain tho responsllbllty of his du
ties, and then gradually drifted back
to his early life, which hto had spent
on a farm in a state many miles
away and ending with a direct
question to his guest inquiring if
anything of importance had hap
pened lately.
When the time to part with his
visitor arrived ho turned, and, hold
ing out a thin but rough old hand,
he said: "Goodbye, Boy. When
are you coming back?" Tho an
swer was lost in tho farewell bark
ing of the dog.

not nearly so satisfactory as the entertainment that comes
out of the horn of an Edison Phonograph.
You never heard Harry Lauder as well as h.e sings on
an Edison Amberol Record. You never heard Slezak,
Martin or Constantino to such good advantage as you
hear them on the Edison Phonograph. You never have
had in any one evening such a program as you can have
any evening, at home, with an Edison Phonograph.
If you care for amusement at all and who does not?
then this is absolutely the best bargain in amusement
the world offers the Edison Phonograph, invented and
produced by Thomas A. Edison, Victor Herbert's music
reproduced for the Edison Phonograph by Victor Herbert's
own orchestra, all of the great singers, all of the great
musicians, all in your own home at any time, for the exclu
sive amusement of your own family and your own guests.
Edison Phonographs can be hnd
from $12.50 to $200.00
Edison Standard Records - - .35
There are Edison dealers everywhere. Go to the nearest and hear the Edison
Phonograph play both Edison Standard and Amberol Records and tret complete
catalogs from your dealer or from us.

Besides fighting several oral
duels, Dad established his fame as
a marksman In a prlvato shooting
match with one, not the first one,
George Washington, whom ho chal
lenged for a shoot on the outcomo
of which one thousand dollars was
wagered. Tho target was an official
card, such as is used by "Doe" Car
ver, "Cap" Hardy and Police Ga
zette "Wonders," placed at a dis
tance of ono hundred yards from
tho contestants.
After tho first Bhot, however, Dad
discovered that tho contest was a
"put up" game; for he caught tho
man in charge of tho targets punch

HALLEYCOMET
A fow notes taken from a French
paper on an oxceedlngly interesting
subject just at present may not be
amiss.
Hnlloy's Comlot, which Is inter
esting bo many people, will roach Its
closest point to tho earth on May
18th. On this date thto tail will
point directly toward tho oarth, aa
tho tall always points away from tho
sun and tho comot will bo botween
tho earth and tho sun. Tho most
beautiful view of tho comet, how
ever, will bo ior soveral days just
boforo or just after MtHf 18th. Tho
oarth is going at about 72,000 mites
an hour and tho comot is travelling
at about 100,000 miles an hour, and
on tho night of May 18th theso two
bodies will rush past eaoh other at
a speed of about 180,000 miles an
hour.
Tho tall of tho comet Is supposed
to bo about 15,000,000 miles long
and as tho comot will bo about 15,
000,000 miles from tho earth, wo
will probably pass through whatovor
j there Is of this tall. According to
tho best roport, while this tall is
millions of miles long, if It could bo
gathered up it could bo put in a
small sized room.
Other than the light which may
bo soon at night, its effect on tho
earth will not bo noticed.
THE RIGHT OF WAY.
Probably tho smallest audelnco
that has assembled at tho Grand
Opera Houso during tho present soa-
son was that which greeted, tho ron
dltlon of tho flvfo act drama, "Tho
Right of Way," undor tho porsonal
direction of Theodore Roberts, Mon
day night Those who failed to at
tond, without doubt, missed tho treat
of tho season, as tho play, liko the
novel, Is ono of tho best before tho
public at tho present tlmo. Hallott
Thompson, as Chas. Steele, waa a
wholo show in himself and tho lovo
scono in tho last act was ono of tho
most beautiful that has over b'eon
rendered at tho local opera house
Tho company was well balanced and
each ono seemed to bo admirably
uttegt .to. the. part they played, and
wo venture tho assertion that if tho
"Right of Wiiy" was to be ropwitod
again, tho opera house would bo
crowded to tho walls.
