Pioneers How the Proud Andalusian Lost His aTil Feath ers Through Curiosity. Newport, Ore., June 1. (Special) A trip to Newport at any time dur ing May or June is a glimpse Into fairy land. The valleys are green, and the forests are greener. There are great splotches of yellow along the railroad, where the Scotch broom is getting a foothold. On the hill sides there 19 the purple of lupines and the banks of the streams are lhied with the Oregon Hawthorne. When you reach the ocean hills they are dotted with the roses of the sea mists the lordly rhododendrons. The queen of flowers was named by the Greeks, rhodos, meaning red and dendron for the five petals. To see clusters of these blooms shining like great roses from the dark green thickets of the firs is a sight well worth the trip to the seashore at this time of the year. The trail to the old lighthouse Is guarded against rav lshing these great blossoms of the sun, by signs forbidding picking them, and lovers' lane Is a mass of blooming fragrance, coming from a thousand other flowers and shrubs. The blossom sprays of the huckle berry and salal are nearly as beauti ful, If not as showy, as the big for est of roses. Good Railroad Service. The Southern Pacific is operating fine solid trains to Newport, mak ing close connections at Albany and Corvallls both ways, and the' round trip fares makes the1 traveling very cheap. Leaving Salem at 11 o'clock, one Is at Newport In time for supper. The scenery over the mountains and down the bay Is grand and delightful, and while going up the mountains whets the appetite, going down to the ocean does not help matters, and. you eat until you feel sorry for the people who serve the meals. Better Hotel Facilities. The new Abbey house will be a surprise to most Newport visitors. It is a concrete building of three stories and about 100 rooms, with baloncles running along the entire front over the second and third stories. These balconies command a fine view of the bay and overlook the steamer landing The rooms are fitted with hot and cold water, andl about half of them have baths connected. The dining room will seat about 200, and there Is a grill to be opewed about July 1, Mort and Edward Abbey, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Abbey, are in charge of the house, and they have a wide acquaintance and know the wants of the public and. bid fair to maintain the reputation of their father and mother. The house has bee'n nearly full on several occasions before the season opens up, and its accommo. datlons will be taxed to the utmost when the crowds begin to arrive. There Is a fine bar in connection. The rates are $2.50 per day and upwards, but for that price first-class service Is assured. The Abbey Hotel com pany has done for Newport what the Marlon Hotel company has done for Salem mado room for the best class of people to come here and' get good entertainment. Other Hotel Accommodations. J. H. H. Anderson, former owner of the Union Hotel, at Portland. Is erecting a 40-room house right down on the sand beach, about 300 feet north of the natatorium. It Will be named "The Nlcolal," after his little son. It will have a sun parlor on the ocean veranda enclosed in glass, 80 feet long, and the high tide will dash Its waves right up to the balustrades. He will serve meals and rooms. .W. D. Wheeler, who has for 33 years resided in North Salem, conducts the Cliff House, and is starting an addi tion to make it a 40-room hotel. He will be assisted by his daughter, Bessie and Mrs. Wheeler, who has lust returned from Los Angeles. Miss Helen Anderson will again manage the Bradshaw house. Jack Porter will have his rooming house open and N. P. Wiberj has a lease on the Irwin Hotel at Nye Beach. Smith & Saunders are remodeling the Nye Creek Hotel, and building veranda all around. ' Down South Bench. Lee Doty runs the stage line to Alsea, Beaver Creek, Waldport, Lut Jens and Yahats. He has fine four, horse teams, takes you across the bay at 6:30 a. m. to Waldport by noon. Collector of Customs O. V. Hurt has a tent city at Ocean View, and is prepared to care for people with meals and beds at Yahats In good comfortable style. Campers and tour lsts who have been going to Yahats will appreciate this. J. D. Satter lee is building a new house at Beaver creek. Good Steamer Service. Captain Jacobsen hag nad the steamer Newport overhauled for the summer season, and pit In thorough repair, so that the vessel passed the highest inspection, and Is ready to handle the Bummer business. The captain has built a beautiful bunga low overlooking the bay Just above McDonaldvllIe, on the point where the Indian Anne Laroque- always had her little tent and basketry. He will have to provide for Annie when she arrives, as she Is as much of a summer fixture at Newport as the captain himself. There are plenty of launches and pleasure boats at the bay. Under the vigilance of Game Warden Gatens the fishing In the bay has been restored and crabs are more plentiful. Clams are no long er allowed to be shot on the wing, but must be potted on the run when they first Btart to rise. Simon Llnd sten has a fine new electric launch, and conducts the ferry at South Beach. New Auditorium. Fred Mang and O. S. Purdy have bought the old Nye Beach bath house and are constructing a $25,000 beach auditorium with a hot plunge swim ming tank 35x75 feet, and supplied with salt water from the ocean, arti ficially heated. They will have a large glass front looking out on the ocean, and 200 bath rooms for surf bathing. The sun parlor will be 30x50. The whole structure is 50x150, and Is up-to-date, such as are found at all Cal ifornia summer resorts. Notes on Newport. Al Thomas, the lapidary, who has made Newport agates famous, is com pleting a $500 seaside residence, the L Ufff -f-H-hl hmmn z.

The good wife was equal to the occasion thanks to her New Perfection Oil Cook-stove. She had it lit in a moment, and her guests hardly were seated on the porch before a hearty hot meal was ready lor the table sausages and eggs and long rashers of streaky bacon, and rolls just crisped in the oven and fresh coffee and the hostess herself as cool and neat as if she had not been near the kitchen. She never could have managed it with an old-fashioned range. The New Perfection is the quickest, most convenient and best cooker on the market. iliCkefastwe; Made with 1.2 and 3 burnrrt, with lona, turquour- b'ti eumelrd chimnrvt.

L. B. Brower and wife, of New- berg, have leased the Mlnthorn sani tarium and will administer hot sea baths. Ed. Seldler, the pioneer bath house contractor, will manage the surf bathing accommodations. N. J. Damon has returned from North Yakima completely broken down, and is picking up right along, and will be able to get away with full three squares a day by the time the Salem crowd arrives. Dr. E. P. Small, who Is considered only a quack by the regulars. Is pet forming all kinds of cures here among the sick. He has even made some progress with the little Sater. lee boy, who can now get about on a tricycle. One of the attractions of the city is Mr. Rubarts and his blue Andalu sian rooster, "Bobby," who was called 'Dick'' until an accident befell him, as a result of which he nearly went up In a very badly smelling smoke. The old veteran, who baches down on the dock, although quite a ladles man, is an inveterate smoker, and one day threw a lighted match on the floor. Dick jumped down to see what it was, and in leaving it swept the train of his Sunday-go-to-meeting trail around, and It caught fire and the Newport fire department had to respond on a quick run to keep Dick from roasting in his own decorations. His beautiful tall was gone, and the princely Spanish game bird has appeared In a decollete bob tall street suit ever since. But he Is a great pet, and adds to the gaiety of nations at Newport. The Oregonian was kind enoug to print the following , from my pen about the pioneers who have made this place a popular modern resort: Yaquina Bay rioneers. The Yaquina Bay country was al ways the scene of early pioneer enter prise. An Indomitable class was at tracted to this beautiful bay, where fishing, game, shellfish of all kinds, abounded and the pleasures of the chase, abundance of food, and the at tractions of the clean, beautiful beaches united to draw men of a ro mantic and adventurous turn of mind to this part of the coast. The early history of boatbuilding, con struction of wagon roads, construc tion of a railroad over the mountains, the dreams of making this a great shipping port, and the struggle to de velop agriculture and fruit growing are all part of a romance of the West as interesting as the conquest of Peru. The first actors in this drama are gone, but their memory lingers la the minds of many still here. As a frequenter of Yaquina Bay for nearly a quarter of a century I can recall many of the men now gone who struck the first blows for open ing the pathway to the Pacific, which is now enjoyed by hundreds every week, with palatial tralne, modern hotels and all the conveniences of civilization. The three oldest settlers, In time of taking up claims, now living here on the bay are Josiah S. Copeland, on Depot slough; Royal Bensell, of Newport, and Wm. Mackey, of Tole do. Ellas and John Wiser took up the claims where Newport now stands in 1866, but both are dead. Another, who Is dead, was G-eorge L. Boone, after whom Boone's Point Is named, and who was related to Dan iel Boone of Kentucky fame. The Yaquina Bay settler was with Kit Carson, Pegleg Smith, Jim Betck wlth and Buckskin Bob, now resid ing on Tsiltcoos Lake. Linn county, with the Doniphan expedition to Texas. George King Is stll Hiving at Oysterville. His brother, John, came later, and was one of the first men to plant orchards at Medford, where his descendants still live. Captain Sol Dodge took up the claim at Oyster ville, and lost his life in the wreck of the schooner Champion on Shoal water bay. Other Oysterville pion eers were Newton Poole, after whom Poole's slough Is named; H. C. Newt, Wm. Caffrey, Dimmle Wlnant, a brother of James J. Wlnant, who lost his life In 'a wreck, and James Brown, better known as "Whispering Brown.'' Israel Eddy, afer whom Eddyville is named, died a few months since. Other pioneers of Ya quina were J. N. Stark, Thos. Rus sell, Wm. Beck, Parker drifted in from Walla Walla and turned loose the first pair of canary birds. By the same token these pioneers could swear that Col. Parker drew the long bow on the; matter of there be ing an abundance of shad In the Yaquina, as the first shad has prob ably to go up that river. Among the pioneers who have an swered the long roll and are toiling westward' up the slopes of another, and, we hope, more beautiful world, are Sam Casae, John Loomls, Fred Olsson, Dr. Bayley, Billy Neal, John George whose lonely cabin still stands on the shore of the bay just above the point where the treasure Is supposed to have been sunken with the Spanish ship; Martin Berrj', John P. Priest, once collector of cus toms; John Ford. James Chatterton, Ed. Phelps, Jas. W. Ball, the Demo cratic war horse; John St'mpson, Butch Hammond and Jas. Oragie. The latter was a Hudson Bay factor, and was with MeLoughlin, and be came the father of Mrs. Sam Case, an honored pioneer woman, still liv ing. Among the living pioneers are vet erans like Chas. H. Williams, who has bought enough gold dust mined on the beaches to start several banks; Tom Boyle, Dr. Carter, Pete Abbey, Johnnie Miller, George Ford, Charles Wlnant, Sam Irvine, John Buckley, John Nye, after whom Nye Beach Is named; Amos H. Hampton, L. E.' Davis, sole sun-Ivor of South Beach; M. M. Davis, Jack Cahill, Geo. F. Silvester and Charles Maley. There are many others who should be mentioned, and if I had longer time I would gladly have extended this list. But all these 'men bore honorable part in the opening of this country to the world for enjoyment and profit I must mention James Chambers, who came to Klngg valley in 184 8, and thence to the Slletz in 18828, whrtre he died. He served 'n the leg islature, as has his son. No mention of the bay country would be complete without a mention of the cape men. They were George Meggescjn. John Brlgg and Captain Wm. Dyre, a New England man of seafaring hab its, who scorned to acquire land. The other two acquired nearly all the lands on thej cape where the light house now stands, and all three are buried on the cape. Mrs. Meggeson, an Indian woman of great character, and still of nobie appearance, resides in Newport and has grandchildren of great promise. E. HOFER. ROUTINE BUSINESS OF COUNCIL Feeling convinced that the dray and truck, ordinance as Indorsed by the ordinance committee would be put In jeopardy because of its radical features, ,the committee last evening withdrew' it from the consideration of the council, and It will be presented at the next meeting after It has been amended so as to insure Its passage. It became apparent that a fight would be made on this ordinance when the committee brought in a majority ana minority report Coun cilman White brought in the minor ity report and in it stated that the ordinance was radical and that were It passed It would put most of the smaller draymen out of business and create a monopoly of the business In the city. He moved to have the report in definitely postponed. The mayor In his autocratic way rerused to recog nize any such motion and asked that some other disposition be made of It. Finally some one conceived the Idea of making a motion laying the report on the table and the mayor was forced to put It and there It lays. When the ordinance came up for a third reading the ordinance committee rather than risk putting it to a vote, withdrew it for amend ment. Other Ttoutlne Business. The committee on streets made a favorable report on the extension of Richmond avenue. The street committee reported that Contractor Geiger would not allow any reductions to be made in the contract price for the East Court street Improvement, and the contract was awarded to him without reduc- tlons. The committee desired to re duce the price $500 but the contrac tor stated that he would no do the work in the event that such a reduc tion was made. The city engineer recommended that , condemnation proceedings be commenced for the purpose of widen ing Front street A remonstrance against the pave- i ment of Center street from Liberty to Fourteenth was read and referred to the street committee. A resolution directing that a ce ment sidewalk be built in., front of the J. F. Savage property on State street was adopted.. A resolution ordering the construc tion of a nlank sidelak on Chemeketa street was passed. Thre petitions one asking for the extension ' of Laurel avenue from Highland to Winter a second asking for the extension of South street from Sixth to the Fairground road and the third asking for the vacation of Roosevelt avenue where it runs along the property owned by the Boise heirs were granted. R. S. Haskel, and five other prop erty owners residing In his district, asked that the Salem Water com pany be compelled to extend its wa ter mains into their district and the petition was referred to the commit tee on streets and the city attorney. The fine of $10 Imposed upon the representative of the Bancroft-Whitney company, of San Francisco, for violating the peddlers ordinance, was ordered remitted to the company. The same action was taken with re lation to two other cases of a similar nature. The action was taken upon the recommendation of the city attor ney who stated that the ordinance did not cover cases of that character. An ordinance having for its object the granting of a franchise to the Portland Railway Light and Power company on Nebraska street and Belmont avenue and the vacation of its track on Seventeenth street was read the second time and referred to the ordinance committee. -o SUMMONS In the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Marion County., Department No. 1.

Wonder If there was method In the legislature's apparent silliness In providing only $1000 for rewards for criminals A Boston woman thinks songs will cure the drink habit. Of two evils, why go to the trouble to choose the worse? Those Reno divorces may be no good, but anyway they are good enough for the people who get them. All they want Is an excuse that will keep them out of the pen. Bill Byrd, the Spokane desperado, Is a large Improvement on Tracey as an advertiser and he seems to have the goods on him, ready to deliver to any customer desiring them. A Boston woman says: "If you want to live a hundred years, don't dance, flirt or gossip." But then If a woman does non e of these things she has not "lived" at all. Taft may not show up heavy in the tariff legislation, but then it should be remembered that he is old "Re ciprocity Bill" himself. The Salem Cherry fair Is the next big event in the Capital City, and this part of the finest valley on earth. It seems that It Is a Burns' detec tive who has found the "forgeries" on the V. of O. referendum petitions. This will cause most thinking people to believe the petitions all right as the general opinion of " detectives is that they will find anything they are paid to find.
