NOTES FROM SEASIDE
A Batch of Interesting Items Picked up
at Clatsop's Watering Places.

r. l.. Jeffrey and little daughter were
visitors at their Seaside home yesterday.
Fishing parties on the Necannicum are
becoming more frequent as the summer
days approach.
]. E. Wilson, with force of carpen-
ters is busy erecting a cottage on his
lot Just south of the hotel Mcclure.
Mr. H. F. L. Logan, proprietor of the
Elk Creek House. has decided to open
that hostelry again this summer
Mrs. NJ. F. Clayton's residence at Sea-
side near the Mcclure. is being reno
waited and newly painted. Nj. Frank
TUDOR has the work In hand.
Mr. George Rowe, who has been spend
ing the winter at Gienwarren, Brighton
Beach, will go TO Seaside shortly to
take a situation with c. A. Mcclure.
James Mailer, a rancher near Silver
Point Cliffs, recently found "a large pile
of iron on the beach that had been
washed up by the surf. peculiar fea-
ture Of the find was in the fact that no
wood, or any other substance that would
float, was attached to the iron, which
had evidently belonged to a vessels
mast, and weighed fully 1So pounds.
A peculiar story comes from Brighton
Beach, where a few months ago, during
a fearful storm, a great bank of foam,
fully 20 feet in height. gradually drifted
up from the boiling surf and moved
fully 100 feet into the forest. To those
who were fortunate enough to witness It,
a magnificent sight was presented. 1t
was several hours before the foam finally
melted away. .a
The Toll Road Company has force of
men making repairs to that thoroughfare.
Several large trees have fallen directly
across the road in several places, and one
immense cedar will necessarily have to
be blown up with dynamite in order to
clear the road wide enough for wagon
to pass over the mountains the road is
in fairly good condition.
Next Saturday night the Seaside Dane
Ing Club will give their last party this
season, when it is expected each lady
will bring a cake Lovers of the light
fantastic at Seaside will regret the clos
ing Of the clubs parties, which have al
ways been very pleasant and enjoyable
affairs. The party last Saturday night
was well attended and proved delightful
event. A number of visitors from Asto-
ria are expected down Saturday night
from Astoria.
The property holders at Seaside are
thinking seriously Of Incorporating their
place, and already canvass has been
made showing a most favorable result
With an incorporated town many improve
nents could be carried on with the reVe-
lues derived from licenses to idraymen,
takirs, saloons, and other classes of bus
mess usually taxed at resorts like Sea-
side. During the summer months big
revenue would roll in from various quar-
lers that is now totally lost The matter
If Incorporation will probably be brought
before the proper authorities in a short
time.
The first treasure hunters of the year
have Just returned from prolonged and
careful search over the rugged sides of
Did Mccartney mountain. Whether or not
they found anything will perhaps never
be known, for the two gentlemen who
hail, by the way, from little town near
Portland, were as close mouthed as
razor-backed clam shell. One carried
a mysterious canvas and leather bag
which he guarded as carefully as II 1t
contained either gold or dynamite. This,
however, should not discourage others
who have the time and inclination to go
treasure hunting in that locality.
BY popular subscription nearly $500 was
raised last week for the improvement of
the county road from the Necannicum
bridge near ]. p Eberman's ranch, south
10 a place commonly known as the or
ehard." a distance OF about one and
,ne-haif miles. The road will probably
! e gravelled the entire distance, as it
hsIs been demonstrated. that first-class
ro I'D can be built through the woods
wi N that material. 1t is expected the
sub scripdon will be greatly increased be
fore the present amount is used.
