Many places of interest are acces-
sible from Newport and almost every
day crowds of pleasure seekers take
trips to the light house, DEVILS Punch
Bowl, otter Rock on the north and
Seal Rocks. the old life saving sta
tion and Waldport on the south.
The life saving crew is now located
lat the light house near the New

Not only is Newport pleasure re-
lsort but II has the natural resources
to make and support an important
business city. Yaqnina bay is one
of the safest little harbors between
Portland and San Francisco. The
depth of the water is now sufficient
to admit any vessel that is necessary
to carry on the coast traffic and
could be easily dredged near the
jetty so as to float the great ocean
steamers. 1t is thought by many
that the channel to the bay Is too
shallow to allow large vessels to en-
ter but this was proven a mistake re-
GENTLY when the Legget, a boat 265
feet long and drawing TN feet,
easily steamed into the harbor at
low tide. Proceeding to Yaquina
1 600, 900 feet of lumber was loaded
on her decks and the exit was made
as easily as when the vessel was un-
loaded.
In addition TO season and three
day tickets the G. & e. company has
commencing June II, provided spe-
cial Sunday excursion trains from
Albany to Newport and return. While
the traffic on the G. & e. has beeh
enormous there has been no serious
accidents for more than a decade OF
years.
The gasoline boat Gazelle which
arrived recently from Astoria is
handling the business between va
quina and Newport in place of the
disabled Richardson. Several ex-
cursions have been made over the
lbar, which was a pleasure to those
whose appetites did not weaken. On
one OF these trips party OF Salem
ties chartered a section OF the bow
OF the little sea-going craft which
sailed majestically down the bay, but
when few bows had been made tc
the swells at the bar the party In
unison crowded to the rail where
they bowed their heads with many

the sufferers was n we'll known snare
