fully equipped and has all modern
banking conveniences. This bank is
also the head quarters of the Bay City
Land Company. This real estate
syndicate was organized at Salem, and
for many years struggled under ad-
verse circumstances, but Mr.. Hend-
ricks has had that immortal optimism
that never acknowledges defeat, and
the Bay City Land Company has justi-
fled his faith in this location for
fine seaport and residence city. The
several corporations of which Mr..
Hendricks is the head, have all prov
en- winners and some of them have
made big money, which has put Mr..
Hendricks into the class of large and
successful realty operators. He has
proven himself one of the makers Of
Greater Oregon, and wears the title
with becoming modesty that is char
acterlstic of a newspaper man.
Like all the cities around Tilla-
nook Bay, Bay City is blessed with
perfectly delicious, cool summer
weather. The winters are mild and
there is only one point of the COM
pass from which hard winds ever
blow in upon Bay City, and that does
not happen very frequently. The soil
is very fertile, and naturally adapted
to producing vegetables and small
fruit. You will behold the strange
sight of strawberry patches extending
almost down to the tide-water.
Wherever an acre of land is cleared,
it will produce big grass crops, and
fruit trees make a fine growth Lere,
and raise all kinds of fruit. There
are all the way from 800 to 500 peo-
pie living in aud about Bay City.
Bay City has a first class public
school. There arc two religious
organizations having houses of wor-
Presbyterians and Meth
odist Episcopal. The Masons, East
ern Star, Odd Fellows, Rebeccas and
Woodmen of the World have lodge
organizations. The Odd Fellows have
a fine lodge hall, and own the opera
house. There are two hotels in Bay
City one conducted by George VIII
liams and the other by Bert Nichols.
e. M. Rhodes conducts the Bay View
Hotel. H. G. Todd conducts the Bay
City restaurant These hotels are fit
ted up to entertain summer visitors,
and the lovely summer climate, good
fine scenery and ocean atmos-
phere and sea bathing there, make
Bay City more and more a summer
resort. 1t can be stated incidentally
that office room is scarce and there !
are no houses to rent at Bay City.
Dr. w. C. Hawk, of jefferson, who
is well-known at Salem, came to Bay
City foure years ago. He engaged IN
general practice, and opened a drug
store, which his daughter, Mrs. B. H.
Miller helps to conduct. He has com
pleted the dream of his life-estab-
fishing a magnificent SEASIDE sani-
-arium, that will be open August 1st,
FOR the general public, and has
capacity for $50 patients. The top of
The four-story building is 200 feet
above the water and stands on four
acres of ground. The building cost
$40, 900, has operating rooms, mod
ern surgery and fresh and salt water
baths. He will have several assistant
and will be prepared to
handle all classes of cases. FROM the
wards on each floor there are mag
lificent views of the Pacific Ocean.
Dr.. Hawk is also interested in the
Rockaway Beach property, a very
summer resort, where lots
ire still selling at $4,000 to $4,000.
T. o. Bozorth is secretary. All of DR..
Hawks investments here have turned
,ut well. In fact, he has made a
,reat deal of money at Bay City, and
axes pleasure in showing the town
