cargoes of freight for Newport,
Toledo and Waldport. The Enter
prise went to Salmon river with
freight for that place. The All
waneda aand Mirene went to Wald-
port with freight. The Mirene had
on board fifteen tons for Walker &
Eebow. On going in over the bar
the Mirene was in the lead fol-
lowed by the Ahwaneda. The Mir
enc got out uf the channel aud
went on the south sand spit and
stuck. When the tide went out
she was high and dry. The life
saving crew was sent for and Cap
tain Stuart took the power boat
and went to help the disabled YES
sci. The Ahwaneda also helped to
get her off. The sands are always
shifting on that bar and you don't
know where the channel is. 1t is.
for that reason, a dangerous bar.
The Mirene was taken off Wednes-
day night.
"The Colonefs Maid" a dramatic
play, was put on the stage at the
Midway Theater the 18th and 18th
by the home talent troupe of New
port. The house was crowded both
nights and everyone was pleased
and satisfied. w. E. GWynn was
the star player. The characters
we're all so well sustained and
brought out in such real fashion
that one would not know but that
it was a well trained troupe instead
of mere amateurs. Where each
performer did his part so we'll it
would be inviduous to make com
parisons.
L. c. Briggs and j. j. Nelson
from Portland are here for the pur-
pose Of investigating the extent of
the halibut beds located about
twenty miles off from shore west
of Newport with the view of start
ing fish industry at Newport. If
the fish can be had. and he thinks
they could, an industry of that
kind would be worth to Newport
fifty thousand dollars annually.
This is the best shipping point out
side of Portland and people are
beginning to realize it.
