SUBSCRIPTION RATES
The Abbey.

Whether the formal opening of
The Abbey, the palatial hotel just
completed at Newport, on next Sat-
urday evening is in commemoration
OF the arrival in this port of the first
2O0O ton steamer or whether it is a
eo-incident we do not know, but
nevertheless a little story of early
history may be interestin, to some
of our readers.
On February %, 1884, the steamer
Yaquina City, Captain Martin mas
ter, sailed from New York bound for
Yaquina Bay, arriving in this port
on May 27, 1884, just 81 years ago
tomorrow. She was the first 1000
ton steamer to cross in over Y;.-
quina bar. William Linderman,
now residing at Toledo, was quarter
master on the vessel and was at the
wheel. Mr.. Linderman is the ouly
member of the crew of twenty-five
who remained on this bay. The
Yaquina City had as cargo two To-
comotives, two passenger coaches
and other rolling stock for the rail-
road, just being built to this bay.
The locomotives were No. 2and No.
4 now running on this road, and the
coaches were No. 2 and No. 4.
After discharging her cargo the va
quina City went to Portland and
brought in 800 Cinnamon laborers
to work on the construction of the
railroad. After this she made reg
uiar trips from this bay to Portland
and San Francisco, until June 1888,
when she was wrecked on entering
the bay with a cargo from San Fran
cisco, caused by her stearing gear
becoming disabled and allowing her
to drift on South Beach. Captain
Bennett was master of her at The
time Of wrecking. After the va
quina City came several smaller YES
sells, the big Willamette Valley, the
Farallon and other steamers until
we were bottled up and all. vessels
taken off the run, until the past few
years when the smaller gasoline
schooners were put on the run.
In 1898 Mr.. Linderman went to
California, where he resided until
two years ago when he returned to
this bay. He assisted in building
the new Abbey.
The Abbey was constructed to
take the place Of the old Abbey
House, which had become too small
to accommodate the public. 1t is
built and owned by the Abbeys at a
cost of between $35, 900 and $40,-
600. 1t is modern in every partic-
ular and has accommodations not
excelled by any hotel in the state.
1t contains 4S large, airy rooms for
guests, rooms supplied with hot and
cold water, steam heat, electric
lights and bells, telephones, bath
rooms and toilets. A large sunny
dining room, 38x50 feet. A large,
elegantly furnished parlor. The
kitchen, 30x40 feet, has a brick
range 20 feet long, with all latest
conveniences. A grill and bar are
other features for the accommodation
and comfort OF the guests. The
owners have spared neither pains
nor money in making the hotel mod
ern and comfortable.
The hotel will be thrown open to
the public tomorrow night, May
9th. A banquet will be held and
