Our market problem heGe is, to open
the wagon road between this place
and the Alsea Valley, and then we
can sell Our farrn products to the
pleasure.seekers, who will come
every year to The Bay. That is
good sesfar as # goes, I like that, I
am friend to improvement. And
the opening Of this road will be to
the people Of Alsea Bay, the OPEN
ing Of a tiew era In rnany respects,
and will also be a great improve
ment TO Lincoln county. But to
think for a moment Of disposing in
this way of all the products which
the resources of this Bay country
are capable OF producing, is at once
preposterous. NoHs but the idle
and stupid would generate such an
idea.
Our one thing needfui is it have
Our harbor improved so that larger
vessela can pass safely in aud out
at all times. Just what appropria-
ton it would take to do this am
unable to say but am persuaded
that it would not be unreasonably
great. If this were done instead of
one little schooner coming In here
every three or four months, we can
have lumber, vegetable produce,
bacon, beef and butter enough TO-
gether with the grain from the
Alsea Valley, which under these
circumstances we would be sure to
have, to load one or two schooners
every week.
We also have quarries of nice
rock jutting out into the bay whicl,
are just waiting deveiopement.
One schooner might be employed
continually carrying away rock,
; and thus we could keep paw passu
with the Pioneer and other quarries
of Our sister bay.
True and good wide awake people
is what is required to bring this
about, Yes ever-laboring tirle,
as Calhoun says, will bring these
very things to pass. May the day
be not far distant.

1t is conceded by all, especially
old-time patrons Of Yaquina, that
the luster Of the season of 1894 so
outshines its predecessors that it
will ever serve as an epoch or sign
post in the history Of this beach,
and will be the year from which
will be reckoned the leap into
public favor and rapid progress as
sumner outing place by the sea,
that is sure 10 make Yaquina fam
Gus in future years. Rumors Of
great and much-needed changes in
the accommodations for visitors to
this resort for the ensuing year are
heard in various quarters. Ifthese
contemplated improvements ma
terialize, it will place Newport well
in the front rank Of famous Pacific
coast seaside resorts. These changes
include the perfection OF arrange
ments whereby sleeping cars will
be run from Portland, leaving the
metropolis at night and landing
passengers in Newport the follow

The Sights at Otter Rock.


The writer, in company with
several Toledo people, has been en-
joying a weeks camping At the
picturesque locality known as Qttsr
Rock. This is one of the most &c,
lightful places in the whole country
to spend an outing in. AS itisuot
generally known to the readers Of
the LEADER I will try and give
short description Of it.
Otter Rock is on the Siletz reser-
vation, about six miles from the
government lighthouse at Cape
Foulweather. It is reached by a
wagon road along the beach which
runs from Newport to Foulweatller,
and from the latter place the beach
is the only road. tits good beach
at low water however, and there is
but one point jutting out which has
to be watched for on account ofthe
tide. The drive along the coast is
a very pleasant one and the scenery
enroute we'll repays the sightseeker
for the time spent in the trip.
There are two creeks which empty
out into the ocean. Both Of these
have beautiful valleys which are
covered with timber, brush and
many fine open meadow lands.
The coast, except where the creeks
break in, are rough and abrupt, be.
ing in many places a steep rock
bluff from fifty to a hundred feel
high. The beach from Foulweathei
to Otter Rock is the ordinary sand
beach, and devoid Of especial In
terest.
At Otter Rock a steep hill Il
climbed, up which there is a fai
wagon way, and the visitor is on ;
high bench, or plateau, that i
practically level, and is covere,
with just enough timber 10 max
an ideal camping place. Here III
tourist can fnl plenty OF wood an,
water, and excellent pasture 70
his horses, if he has any, at til
very low price Of twenty-five cent
per head a week.
The rocks are located at the EN-
Of a peninsula which runs about
half mile into the ocean in an al
most due westerly direction. The
are easily accessible from the tabl
land at all times.
The first object Of interest whic
attracts the attention Of the sigh,
seeker, is the Devils cauldron
This is truly a wonderful sight
1t is an immense round opening /
: the rocks, and is about 200 fec
across and about 40 or 90 feet deer
1t has two underground openings
{ one at the north side and the othC
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1894-08-30

on the south, These openings
form a suction, which, in stormy
or windy weather, Il hard TO with.
stand. At low tide a person can
walk into the cauldroh from the
north beach, and when in there he
realizes something oftf e immensity
of the affair. When the tide is
coming in it Is a wonderful sight to
see the waves beat and dash
through the ope nings into this
huge bowl, On the south side of
the peninsula, near the opening to
the cauldrou there is huge cave
or cavegn. This can be reached
only ct low water and has never
been fully explored. That there is
an underground opening Is true be.
cause there is one part in 1t where
the water rises and falls with the
tide,
There are many rocks which set
out into the ocean at the extremity
Of the peninsula and it is 2 most
grand and gigantic spectacle to see
the waves beat and dash on these
rocks on an incoming tide.
Otter rock, proper, is a huge
rock which sets out in tile ocean
about a half mile from the main
land 1t Is reached only by the
Indians in canoes when the water
is quiet. On the north beach there
are numerous rocks setting out in
the water which furnish excellent
fishing places, From off these
rocks are caught rock cod, kelp,
sea bass, perch, and other fish, 1t
is certainly the ideal fishing grounds
after one has learned the deep holes
and good fishing places. The
rocks are covered with fine mussels
which furnish you good bait right
at hand, The north beach is most
ly covered with gravels and small
stone. Here Is the home of the
water agate, the party with which I
was with having found several fine
ones.
On the south beach there is an
ideal bathing place, The beach
slopes gradually out and the bather
can get any depth Of water he de-
sires. There is no undertow and
the surf is the most delightful the
writer was ever in,
These are some Of wonders and
amusements Of the sea; but if you
are more inclined to the land there
are many things to attract you.
There is good hunting in the woods,
Bear, deer, pigeons, etc., are the
principal kinds of game with which
the woods abound. The writer
never tried either of these sports
except pigeon shooting on a small
scale, but am assured by those
| who have INDUCED in them that
they are frst-class in every respect
TO conclude, Otter rocks furnish
! an ideal place for the person who is
, seeking the pleasures Of nature
S without the refined touch Of civil
5 cation, and as the years go by more
: and more people will 20 to thi'
$ place to see the wounderiul sights
The grounds mostly are on th,
r allotments Of Doke Spencer and hi
}. family Spencer isa very accom-
y modating Indian, and II treate,
e decently, will do everything in hi
e power to mako 1t comfortable 70
d the pleasure seekers.

: The steamer Willamette Valley
has parted company, perhaps for~
ever, with the Oregon Pacific rail-
road. She was sold by a deputy
marshal at San Francisco Thursday
for $43,aa5, John /. Howard,
San Francisco coal dealer was the
purchaser, and the dispatches re-
late that she is to be thoroughly
overhauled and put in the coal
trade. The claims in the United
States court, on which she was
sold, only aggregated about $I3, 900
and it is supposed they have been
joined with claims in the state
courts aggregating about the
amount at which she was bid In,
with the Searle and Dean claim OF
something like $4,000 among
them. 1t IS understood that y. X.
Vaughns claim Of $4,000 failed to
stick. The Willamette Valley FIRST,
entered the Yaquina bay about
1855, following the ill-fated Yas
quina City and preceding the
Eastern Oregon by about one year
each, and was one of the best
adapted vessels for that trade that
ever entered the haibor. She has
gone into hands where she will
probably never more be called upon
to buffet the storms Of adversely
and debt.

of assault with dangerous weapon
and sentenced to the penitentiary
