no! For The Seaside.

In speaking OF Yaquina Bay the
Walla Walla Statesman says:
"The recent warm weather al,
ready sets people to thinking where
they will spend the heated term,
keep cool and enjoy the good things
of life. To those whose predilec-
tions are for the seaside there is no
place on the Pacific coast which
offers so many manifold advan tages
as Yaquina Bay where the ever
restless waves of the Pacific ocean
roll In upon the sand without an
obstacle. It is the most delightful
and beautiful country the mind OF
man can conceive, embracing not
only scenery of woodland, hill and
vale but for those who enjoy bath
ing and good living. The bathing
is the safest on the coast, the deadly
undertow of which we read every
year being unknown, no iatiiity
ever having occurred there; while
the living Is something that can
only be experienced, embracing all
kinds of deep sea fsh, fresh from
the cool depths of the soundless sea,
and oysters, mussels, crabs, rock
oysters, brook trout from the shall
low waters of the bay aud beach,
and the icy cool; streams which is
such a characteristic Of the country.
1t is the only seaside resort where
a dozen different varieties of fresh
fish can be mdulged I'M at any time,
wild game, such as venison, grouse,
quail and pheasant are too common
almost to be even mentioned. All
this combined with cheapness makes
it less expensive than to remain at
home, and another advantage is Its
easy access from all parts. Leaving
Walla Walla on the evening train,
arriving in Portland next morning
breakfast can be enjoyed and at $500
the train leaves that will take
pleasure seekers, and land them on
the bay by 6 o'clock the same
evening, making the whole trip In
less than "a hours from Walla
Walla through the beautiful Will
lamette valley and the route
traversed by the Oregon Pacific via
Albany. The country there has Of
late years enjoyed the reputation
of being the healthiesfk Known, and
many one who have gone there
expecting to die are now robust and
hearty, hoping to live two score
years longer. There no extreme
:, Of heat or cold. When the great
orb of day rises in the east it is met
by a sea fog from the west which
takes the place Of clouds in temper
! ing the great heat of summer for
two or three hours, making exis.
: tence itself pleasure. In the
months ofJune, July and August
, there are no clouds In the sky, and
only the dew Of night, which is the
, mist OF Gods tears, falls upon the
earth and feeds the flowers. There
Is no land filled with milk and
. honey, no forests half SO deep and
cool, no streams SO crystal cool and
, full of fish, no grasses green as
those within her fields. Blending
q into the peaceful sea are white and
glistening sands spangled with
/ agates, crystals and pebbles Of the
, rainbow hues. When tired Of the
; sea half hours journeyyIlwill take
the tourist into rural retreats snugly
ensconced among the everlasting
hills where healthful springs Of
r sulphur and iron abound. People
7 must have a change; those living
:, in the lower attitudes seek the
j. mountains, while those in a country
+ like this are ever eager for the briny
n and cool air Of the sea. Once q
= visit is paid there viii be kept .ut
n as an annual necessity"
