of disappointment, and also of tears
She was apparently from the rural
precincts, perhaps of Linn county.
1t was a good face with big innocent
eyes. She was with a friend, one
of the opposite gender, and the two
had apparently left the farm home
for the day for sight of the salt,
salt sea. Apparently, too, they
had tarried longer than they had
intended on the beach, for while
the crowd still fingered, they hur-
ried down street, rushed out On the
wharf, and looked strenuously after
the boat, just pulling away from the
wharf and now out of reach. 1t
was an awful disappointment to the
maiden. for she burst into tears.
Possibly the two were out of funds.
The lad tried to comfort her, but it
was no use. The crowd looked on,
and soon discovered the story.
Then a gallant man appeared.
There are always gallant men in a
crowd. He hurried up to them,
spoke few kindly words. The
girl smiled through her tears, just
like the Eddyville boy did, and
soon the couple were gliding swift
ly up the bay in a gasoline launch,
which reached Yaquina in plenty of
time for them to take the train.

AT THE SEASIDE.
Outing Season and Many Strangers at
the Beach-Some Incidents.

The number of pleasure seekers
at Newport so far. is smaller than
in the past two or three years. The
condition is generally ascribed tc
the Fair. Most Of the spare money
of the state is declared to be stream
ing into Portland where it is scat
tered along the Trail and otherwhere
Most every person in the state is
supposed to have determined to
spend most of his or her spare cash
this time at the Fair. A conse-
quent curtailing of the stay at the
seaside, if not its abandonment al.
together is the alleged result. The
assemblage at the beach so far
bears out this theory. Whether
or not it will continue to do so, re-
mains to be seen. Some think the
pilgrimage 10 the popular beach has
set in now for the usual flow. Some
heavy trains are daily passing over
the railroad and it looks very much
as though there would yet be a
big crowd at the seaside, even
though the high water mark rec
ords of the last year or two be not
duplicated.

ENGAGED MILLER.
More Surveying to be Done-Coming
Operations for Mountain
Water.

1t is very probable that within
i days there will be activity all
along the line with reference to
mountain water. Engineer Miller
was in Corvallis Saturday, and
went over his plans and estimates
with the water board with the re-
suit that his services were retained
as chief engineer of the work. In
about a week he will finish his con-
struction work at Athena, and then
he is to come to Corvallis at once
for an indefinite stay, during which
other lines of survey will be run in
the effort to minimize the cost by
reducing to the utmost limit the
length of the pipe line.
There is a surmise in the mind of
Mr.. Miller that by going further up
Rock Creek the line may bebrought
across the ridge into the Woods
Creek water shed, which would re-
suit in the shortening of the line by
two Or three miles. This attempt
is to be made, and at the same
time, there will be call for bids
for material, out of which accurate
knowledge of the final cost can be
obtained. Eagineer Miller is very
anxious to get the pipe line laid out
of the timbered portions of the
route before winter rains set in.

Play Here Next Saturday.
Saturday-Newport, 2; Corvallis,
Sunday-Corvallis, II; Siletz, ?.
The above were the scores in the
two games played by the Corvallis
team at the seaside last Saturday
and Sunday. The to I game of
Saturday was pronounced by such
baseball cranks as Charles Winant,
"Dad'' Sylvester and Peter Abbey,
to be the best exhibition of base
ball ever witnessed at Newport.
That the Corvallis boys had the
small end of such game was no dis
grace as the work of both teams
was brilliant and snappy. The
Newport boys strengthened their
team by adding such PLAYERS as
Hobbs, Payne and Cox of Eugene,
and Blackby OF Coos Bay. Black
by pitched for Newport and he re-
ceived splendid support through
out the game. Colbert dished out
curves for Corvallis and Chambers,
an OAC student. caught. The
work OF both was loudly applauded
Bert Pilkington at first base put up
a star game retiring Newport in
one inning by three unassisted put
outs. Swami at second played his
usual brilliant game. Cronise and
Pratt at short and third base and
Reas. Butolph and Ready took in
everything that came their way.
Few errors were made by either
team. only one of which was costly.
A bad throw in the ninth inning
with two out allowed Newport to
score the winning run.
Sundays game was easy for Our
boys as the Siletz team were not on
hand and several second team men
had to be used. Stanton, their
pitcher, was suffering from bruis'
ed hand, and in addition received
poor support, or the score would
have been much less. Colbert al
SO pitched in Sundays game, and
put up remarkable game consid-
ering the fact that he had pitched
nine innings the day before. The
regular team of the Siletz is a good
one and the players are set of fine
fellows that are able to keep our
boys guessing at any time as to
which is the better. Manager En-
cry of the Corvallis team has ar
ranged for game with the Indians

loon providing enough tickets can
he sold at rs cents each to guaran-
tee the expense of bringing out the
team. Such game wotld be of
unusual interest and should draw
a good crowd. Games with Albany
and Toledo at Corvallis are also
being figured for the near future.

A passenger on the outbound
excursion train Sunday night was
boy of 10, bound for Eddyville.
He was asleep when the train stop
ped at his station, and of course he
was carried by. It wasn't t long un-
til he awoke, and it became noised
throughout the car that he was be-
ing carried farther and farther from
the home where parents were
doubtless wildly concerned if not
alarmed over his failure to come
home. The little chap under
stood what his parents feelings
would be, and this account was
deeply concerned. Tears filled his
eyes, and the innate kindness of
mankind was manifested by the
many expressions of sympathy and
the efforts of passengers to comfort
the little fellow. BY and by the
conductor came in and whispered
a few words to the boy when bright
smiles shone out through the little
chaps tears. Itwas a picture that
put all the people in the car in a
delightful mood. The conductor
had assured the waif that portion
Of the train was to go back to va
quina during the night. and that
he could be delivered safely and
soon to his alarmed parents.

But few changes greet the visitor
at the Newport beach. There; is
one however more or less notable.
The Bayley residence has been
transformed into a hotel, which
though small, is in every respect
first class. 1t is under the manage
aene OF Mr.. FitzMorris, formerly of
Eastern Oregon. Many improve
ments have been added to the place
including bulkhead and wharf.
and short cut via a new road over
the hill to the Nye Creek beach.
Originally the steamboat plying
between Yaquina and Newport
touched at the wharf, but not so
now. and over that there is said to
be trouble brewing. Another
change is the retirement of the Da-
Wis people from the steamer busi-
ness on the bay. The Richardson
which for years has been on the
route between Yaquina. and New
port some time ago went into the
hands of Portland owners, who are
operating the line. A big scow
fitted with cabin accommodations
does duty in connection with the
steamer, the two being able to
carry 400 or 500 people.
The Lorraine is the name of sea-
going craft that is doing a good
business at the bay, carrying sea-
siders out to sea, for deep sea fish
ing and partly for sea-sickness.
1t is vessel almost as large as the
Richardson with a big gasoline en-
gine as the motive power. It makes
several trips per day out to sea, and
usually returns with a part of those
on board pale as ghosts and indif-
ferent to the ordinary pleasures of
life.
The summer travel on the c. &
E. is now very heavy. The reg
ular train Saturday afternoon car
ried five coaches, and all seats were
filed. 1t took nine coaches and
two locomotives to bring out the
crowd Sunday night. The present
is a year of short trips by busy
people. and that makes much for
the railroad to do. Many Eastern
people out to the Fair, take occas-
ion to go to the seaside, and New
port gets its share. Considerable
delegations of such people are at
the Newport beach all the time
now. In many instances they are
accompanied by local people whose
guests they are. A member of one
such party on the train Saturday,
as she journeyed down the grade,
the other side of Summit and sur
veyed the wilderness of fern and
burnt woods. asked the significant
question, care we still in Oregon"

ESTIMATING THE POPULATION.

If an estimate prepared by the state
superintendent of instruction 10 cor.
rect, the present population OF Mon.
tana is about 31l,377. The federal
census of 1900 gave this state q popu.
lation of FAC, 669, the estimate of the
Office of state superintendent thus
showing an increase of some % per
cent. in five years.
The figures presented are based
upon the school census of the several
counties, which shows So, 1876 persons
OF school age In Montana, and to this
total is applied the multiple of ~ to
ascertain the probable population OF
the state. The result, of course, Is
merely a guess at the population Of
Montana, and may be far from cor
rect.
In Silver Bow county, for instance,
the school census contains the names
OF 1857 persons, and this number
multiplied by ~ gives 53,l77 as the
population OF that part of Montana.
Another guess, however, gives a diff
ferent result. The Butte newspapers
announce that the latest directory of
that city contains 81, 044 names, and
use the multiple of It to ascertain the
total population Of the big copper
camp. This calculation gives Butte q
population of about SO, $50, while the
state superintendent guess gives the
entire county of Silver Bow only 49,
III residents.
The purpose of the River Press in
referring TO the population figures
presented by the state superintendent
Office is to denOunce and refute the al.
legation that residents of Chouteau
county are guilty OF race suicide. The
statistician OF the state superintendent
has the audacity to proclaim that
county is the only county in
the state whose popul alton at the pres
ent time is less than that enumerated
in the federal census Of 1900. The
latter gave 10, 966 as the population of
Chouteau county, whereas the state
superintendent estimate credits this
with only 1868 residents iby
applying the multiple of ~ to the
number Of persons Of school age.
While there has been no actual CEN
sus of any part of Montana since that
OF 1900, there r available data other
than those of school districts by which
the approximate population may be de-
termined. The vote cast at each cleo.
ton is. under ordinary circumstances,
indication of the number of people
in certain sections of the state.
election returns as a basis
calculation it will be found that
c%ounty's vote for president
In 1900 was l,727, and it was a year in
which the vote Of the state was much
larger than that of 1904. Most of the
voters went to the polls. At the cleo.
ton OF last November, when the total
vote OF the state was considerably less
than that of 1900, the Chouteau county
showed the vote for president
in this part OF Montana had increased
to 2,OS5. This certainly does moi in.
dictate u decrease Of population, con.
pared with the figures for the year
1900.
The population estimate of the state
superintendent Office p~roves-if it
proves anything-that it 10 easy TO
make a guess that is evidently wide
of the mark.
