A Day at Newport.

Although the season is well
advanced, the great, crowd of
pleasure seekers at Newport does
not seem to diminish. Sunday
excursions still prove popular,
and during the week, westward
bound trains carry more passen-
gers than the trains that come
out in the morning. Five
coaches were required to accom-
modate the excursionists to the
beach last Sunday. The day at
the coast was ideal. A gentle
breeze blew in from the ocean,
giving jest to a stroll on the
beach near the surf, while the
town protected by the headlands,
offered warm spot for basking.
The tide was right for bathing
Sunday morning about 1Io'clook,
and few entered the surf in the
afternoon, although a great crowd
gathered near the bathhouse near
the jetty to watch this sport and

soned at Newport, rendered a
number of popular marches ia
the great delight OF the excur-
sionists, many Of whom had
never had the opportunity to
hear this excellent organization.
Director Stoudemeyer acknowl-
edges the numerous compliments
bestowed upon his ssboys'' with
becoming modesty.
The trip on the bay from va
quina to Newport is the most en-
joyable part of the delightful ex-
cursion to the coast. Captain
Davis, of the Richardson, as
sisted by his sons, Harry and
Bush, spare no pains to accom-
modate passengers and protect
them from accident. OF the
thousands that have been ferried
from Yaquina to Newport and
back this season, not one has
had legitimate cause for COM
plant.
Sundays excursion was made
without incident, sofar asthe trip
from Corvallis was concerned,
save some fistcuffs INDUCED in

herded into the smoking car.
When a man or boy reaches that
stage of intoxication where his
presence is offensive to passen-
gers, those in charge Of the train
will be justified in giving offend
ers a tie pass in lieu of their per-
NIT to ride.

Carbon Photos.

The neatest thing in photo
graphs is this new production now
on exhibition at Emery's studio.
Everyone is familiar with the
time-honored custom of placing
the photo on a selected card
mount, but it is different with
carbons. The likeness produced
by this process is printed direct
ly on the carbon parchment, the
center of which is embossed to
permit sunken margin to sur
round the picture, with ample
space for a signature.
The fascinating density o1
light and shade in the carbon
blending at the edges into the
parchment itself is a captivating
combination. The finished por-
traits are then enveloped in
"Artist Proof folders or loosely
attached to thin sslinen" mounts
and thus completed are certainly
dainty rich and artistic. The
samples of work submitted to
our inspection by Mr.. Emery
are we'll worth the examination
Of the art. loving public, and may
be seen in the reception room oi

made trip to the summit of Marys
Peak, Sunday. Leaving Corvallis
at 4 o'clock that morning they
drove to the foot Of the Peak and
made the ascent on foot, arriving
at the summit at o'clock. Here
they eat dinner and spent two
hours enjoying the landscape. The
atmosphere was clear and they
could see the ocean and headlands
at Yaquina bay with the naked
eye. With glasses, the jetty and
white caps on the bar were plainly
visible. They arrived home about

Mr.. zierolf's Sacks.

A recent issue of the GAZETTE
contained an item concerning
the mysterious disappearance o1
600 new grain sacks from the
harnyard of Casper Zierolf, Il
miles south of Corvallis.
The following article in Thurs.
days Eugene Guard reads like a
sequel to the GAzETTE's item,
and may put Mr.. Zierolf on the
track of his sacks and the gen
tleinan who purlolAed them:
A man who had 62o barley OF
wheat sacks for sale tried to dis.
pose of his property .at several
places about town and was re.
fused. He went to AK Billy and
was told that the junk man on
West Eighth street would proba-
bly, take them. He left his
heavy load at the department
store and went insearc1a of the
junk man.
While talking about the pur.
chase Sheriff Fred Fisk hap
pened to turn the corner, and
with considerable local pride in
the dignity of the county's chief
crime tracer, the junk man
proudly said, "There comes our
sheriff"
It was an ill-timed sentence.
With stride like candidate
for the 1oo-yard dash, the man
struck out for other streets. He
turned on Charnelton and was
going at an excellent dip when
last seen.
The sacks are still uncalled
for, and the thief, as he is sup
posed to be, is still uneaught.
The sheriff, noticing the actions
of the man, laid plans to cap
ture him. He, and Deputy
Bown secured rig and started
for Irving while Chief of Police
Stiles and Constable Jack Smith
went to Springfield to head him
of. The sherifs team then
ran away and the chase was
given up.
The fugitive is supposed to
have joined a comrade with a
wagon which was stoleH near
Salem along with some harness
near Albany, and made good his
escape.

A New Factor.

A new factor has entered into
the problem o. the G. & E. ex-
tension. 1t is said that within
two years the timber interests OF
Central Oregon will pu, rail-
road into that section unless the
G & E is exte,i ded.
The National Lumbei man S
congr, IS held recently in Chi-
cago, by capitalists representing
almost the whole of the lumber
interests of America, brought
out the tact that since the locat-
ing of timber first commenced
the timber promoters have had
their eyes on Central Oregon.
It lies within their power to de-
velop the timber resources of
that section.
Preceding timber cutting,n
says the Prineville Review,
twill be a railroad. and it is now
generally agreed that the timber
interests. will dictate the future
railroai building of Central Ore
gon. Tie route will unquestion-
ably be the Corvallis & Eastern
extension as it is said TO be
favored, by not only lumbei men,
but all practical ones interested.
It should get the Central Oregon
prize. Their line for a dista nee
of 400 miles east from the Will
lainette Valley runs through a
heavily timbered country INFER.
spersed by valleys of agricultural
value, which would make it from
the start essentially lumber car
rying road, with its traffic aug
mented by the grain and stock
products, as the Central Oregon
country develops. BY the time
the former industry had disap-
peared, as is the case in the East
ern States. the latter industries
together with others, will have
been developed, and Central
Oregon will be one of the richest
sections under the sun.
1.-THE line of the Corvallis &
Eastern will in all probability be
along new survey, as later de-
velopments show more practical
routes than the old one. The
company will undoubtedly build
through our city. We do not be-
lieve an east to west line can
afford to miss US, because Of the
valuable country tributary to the
town. Not only is there a vast
amount of agricultural land tri-
butary to this place but there are
also timber lands, to the north
and east of Prinevillc that will in
time make this town lumber
ing center of no mean impor-
tance. .ss.~zs,...=-s-.--s,-s
Gin short the Lumberman's
Congress has proven that the
early development of Central
Oregon is practically assured,
and that the holders of yellow
pine are indeed fortunate, tor
their claims, patented, are just
as, good as old wheat in the
mill"
