The excursion Sunday was small
owing to the bad weather in the
morning before the train left AL
bany. BY the time the train got
to Yaquina the weather had moder-
ated and the day from that on was
fine. Some fifty persons came over
and all struck for the beach where
they had q most excellent time.
Some went in bathing at the nata-
torium while others strolled along
the beach hunting agates and others
went into the rest room to erjoy
the warmth of an open fire place.
The rest room has just been com
pleted and it is the most pleasant
place at Nye Beach, 1t will seat
about 75 pt rscns, has large open
fire place and glass front looking
uut on the ocean. A most beauti-
full and inspiring view can be had
of the great waves as they come
rolling in and breaking upon ihe
shore. sending at times a spray 40
or so feet high. This beautiful
building cost $500 and the credit
of having it built and mostly paid

enterprise of the ladies of Nye

thing like it on the coast. 1t will
be a public blessing to every
womana nd child that goes to Nye
Beach.
