GREAT ADvANTAGEs.-We visit
ed the sound country last week but
we saw no place in Washington
that is better than Yaquina bay in
beauty, scenery or natural location.
The advantage the sound country
has over this place at the present
time is in the rush of immigration
which creates business activity.
The day is not far distant when
this same class of pushing, enter
prising people will be flocking into
Yaquina and make improvements
and business hum.-Yaquina Re-
publican.
BEGINNING To ARRIvE.-The first
lot of lumber for the lumber yard
of Brown & Son, established in
this city, arrived on Monday last
over the Oregon Pacific-fve car
loads. It came from their mill
near Rock creek ia Linn county
about forty miles east Of this city.
More will be brought to this place
until the yard is supplied with
enough to meet the demand for
building during the season.
Look HERE.-All who afe in
debted to Nick Baesen are re-
quested to come forward and set
tie up. He is desirous Of having
such business attended to immedi-
ately. Payments can be made to
