Fishing at Bay View

The bait is dug In the mudnat when
the tide is out. and there are unlimited
supplies of shrimp and worms of al
kinds that fish do love to bite at Hand

fish markets have not many orders
from the Bay View campers. and they
almost live on fish and clans and
crabs; so much so that one disgusted
retailer called them "cheap ikes" be

men enjoy the sport equally well. and
II Is a very inexpensive amusement.
Fine Social Times
There is wonderful harmony be
tween the summer visitors and the
permanent residents at Bay View. The
latter take care OF the cottages during
the rest of the year keep cows, horses
and poultry; have excellent gardens
and all these services and products are
marvellously cheap. But the best of II
all is the spirit OF equality and frater
nifty that brings all together when
there is a bonfire. beach party or a
picnic in the woods. There Is scarcely
a night that there Is not gathering al
one cottage or the other. The neigh.
bors and their children and young peo
pie all drop in, and the young ladies
and gentlemen who move In the best
society at Portland or Salem are not
above a romp with the Newport boys
and girls. There is really very nice
class of people living in and about BAY
View, not speaking of the summer resi-
dents. II is just the free and easy In
termingling. with plenty OF exercise
and fresh air. and yet not away from
the home influence. that develops chill
dren and young people into agreeable
factors of society. There Is boating on
the bay and surf.bathing over the hill,
fifteen minutes walk away. There are
long tramps on the beach and winding
paths through the woods, visits TO the
Did orchard that has been abandoned;
