Newport, Ore, July 7, l9l4-"The
Fourth Of july" say old residents Of
Newport who have witnessed the COM
ing and going of seasons for years past,
"marks the real opening of the summer
season at this resort. l."
Although the number of visitors in
July always shows material increase
over the June arrivals, yet this year has
been characterized by many early ar
rivals. Where before, summer residents
came during July and August and re-
manned but few weeks, they now come
in June or earlier and remain all sum.
mer.
The only reason that can be assigned
for the great increase of all-summeF
residents is the marked development of
Newport itself. The Newport of today
differs materially from tle Newport of
five or ten years ago. New streets
have been opened, old streets improved,
modern residences and business houses
erected, lighting and water systems in
stalled and railroad facilities improved
during the past few years. Newport has
become a modern city in every sense of
the word and is one of the most acces-
siblc as well as convenient beach re-
sorts on the coast.
Differing radically from most re-
Sorts Newport S growth has an air of
permanency 1t IS been steady and ma
terial. Permanent residences and busi-
ness houses have been substituted for
shanties and shacks; two trains a day
operate between here and Albany daily
where before one train sufficed; an up.
tO-date lighting system, furnishing
lights both day and night, has been in.
stalled, and pure mountain water is
furnished in abundance.
Newport, in addition to her advan-
tages as summer resort where people
can come to escape the heat of the in
terror, has become an ideal place TO
live.

Makes Strong Protest

A strong protest from the
printing fraternity throughout
the country is being waged
against the government printed
envelopes. If the government
did the work at its own print
ing office it would not seem so
raw" But the government
finds that it cannot print the
envelopes as cheaply as cor
poration can do so, and even so
they are furnished to the GUS
toner below actual cost.
The postoffice department,
with the consent of the govern
ment, has entered into a con-
tract with a single large concern
for the printing of return cards
on stamped envelopes. The post
office branches take the order of
each individual buyer of stamped
envelopes and also the order for
printing the return address in
the corner Of the envelope. The
postofiice department then, ac-
cording to its contract, provides
the one large concern with the
stamped envelopes, which are
subsequently forwarded to the
individual buyer. The concern
holding the contract is relieved
of all shipping charges and thus
is given a competitive advantage
which the small printer is unable
to overcome. Printers in gen.
eral are not claiming the right
to print corner cards with the
individual address left blank.
They admit that il is the gov
ernment's right TO have these
printed wherever il sees fit. IL
is against the printing of the
individual addresses, no matter
in what city they may be, by
this one concern that the print
ers are protesting. As condi-
tions exist today the govern
ment is not alone competing
against the small printer by en-
tering his field, taking money
out of his town and diverting IL
into the treasury of one concern.
but IL does not even permit him
to compete. IL has entered into
contract which gives one print
ing plant the sole right TO print
individual corner cards on stamp
ed envelopes no matter where
the individual may live.
