THE WEEK AT SEASIDE.

AS long as the good Weatner cOntln-
ues, people will flock to the seaside re-
sorts. The Claasop beaches have a
good crowd now, in spite Of the pre-
vailing hard times, and each incoming
boat adds new faces to the large num-
ber already there. or course there is a
falling Off from last year at the hotels,
but the cottages are all filled, and
campers seem Just as numerous as
they were last year. The visitors seem
'contented to stroll around the beach,
go In bathing or picnic quietly in some
of the pretty groves about Seaside
ana Gearhart, all of which amusements
call but lightly on the holiday makers
pocket book. still there were several
delightful little gatherings last week,
boating and bonfire parties, partlci-
pated in by the cottagers and camp
efs.
The Necanicum holds a peculiar at
traction for the Portland angler, and
scarcely q day passes, but some en-
thusiastic wielder OF the rod and reel
comes in with well filled basket of
speckled beauties taken from the pools
OF this stream Col. Ed. Hughes was
down last week and made several
good hauls on the upper creek, but
even his best friends have failed to
get confession from him as to the
exact number of fish he landed.
BEACH NOTES.
Mr.. Grover and Mark Warren went
down to Cannon Beach on Friday.
They will camp at VIII Warren's
ranch for a few days.
j. N. Griffin is still at Cannon Beach,
his cottage being filled with visitors.
Mr.. Griffin met with an experience
last week that he will remember Tor
many days. He went fishing back In
the mountains and while following up
a crooked stream that winds down one,
Of the deep canyons backof the beach,
he lost his way. Late in the evening he
found his trail to the beach near Elk
Creek, and his tattered garments and
shoeless feet, told tale Of hardship
experienced in his endeavor to get out
Of the dense jungle. 1t is not known
whether he caught any fish on that
trip, but the probabilities are that he
did not.
Leo Mansur and family are at Cam
non Beach for the summer.
A party of fifteen, from Portland will
be at the Elk Creek House on We'd
nesday next.
Mrs. w. H. Rowe and daughter, Mrs.
Amy Cummings of Salt Lake City,
have arrived at the coast an
will spend a few days at Silver Cliffs
with Mr.. and Mrs. E. Jay Smith.
There was delightful ball at the
Anderson Hail. Seaside, on Wednesday
night. Professor Houseman's orches-
ira furnished the music. About twen-
ty couples enjoyed the occasion.
Messrs. OConnor and Webber gaze
select ball at the Grimes Hotel last
Tuesday evening. The music was
splendid, and all had a very pleasant
time.
