Bandon will
Arrive Tomorrow

The sawmill stopped running yes
terday and all hands began putting
lumber on the docks in readiness
for the big ship Bandon which is
to arrive tomorrow morning for
her first cargo of lumber for the
San Francisco markets.
Tomorrow will be a red letter
day for Toledo and all Yaquina
Bay. Fifteen years ago line of
big ships made regular schedule
between this bay and San Francisco,
carrying freight and passengers
both ways, but since these vessels
were taken of an attempt has been
made to make the shipping world
believe the bar was shoal and would
not admit large vessels. We win
soon know, as the Bandon, drawing
fourteen feet of water. expects to
cross in over the bar tonight or in
the morning, and will try the new
channel up the river to Toledo.
Three years ago the people of this
locality concluded that if we were
ever to have channel up the river
we would have to get to work and
make it. A port district. embrac.
ing the watershed of the upper erd
Of Yaquina bay. was formed.
bonds floated for S50.000. a port
commission appointed, clamshtn
dredger built and has since been
digging out the bars and shallow
places in the river. In the mean:
time the port commission has al
ways been busy in interesting the
government in our project, until
last Fall the big government
dredge Oregon was sent tere.
This dredge has been working sew
eral months and has just completed
dredging a channel from the upper
end of the port district to the
lower end. This channel is 200
feet wide and eleven feet deep at
mean low tide, which will permit
any vessel able to cross in over the
bar 10 come direct to Toledo.
The Bandon which is to arrive
tomorrow. is one of several vessels
owned by the Estabrook company
of San Francisco, who is interested
in taking the lumber from the To-
ledo sawmill to the markets of San
Francisco and San Diego Should
this vessel be successful in her trips
the company will probably put on
other vessels.
The sawmill and logging camps
will furnish the steamship company
with all the lumber it can handle.
The mill will enlarge and run
steadily to do this il necessary.
In the meantime keep your eye
on Yaquina Bay and Toledo.

Newport

The annual rhodedendron excur-
sion of students of GAO. came in
Saturday at ten O'Clock with six
hundred passengers aboard. Of
these four hundred and fifty were
college students. The train with
nine coaches arrived at Yaquina at
$3.50 and then came on the New
port and the barge Julia. 1t was
a joyous. lively band of students.
On arriving at Newport everyone
started to the beach. 1t was
beautiful, clear day with but little
of the northwest wind blowing.
The student bodies we're in charge
of Prof. Tufts and Prof. Wood
man. teachers of horticulture in
the college. At noon a clam bake
was served at the Log Cabin on
Nye Creek by the Ladies Civic In
provement Club. About 4U0 par
took of the bake. The proceeds
of the bake will be used to aid in
building the Ladies Reading and
Rest Room at Nye Creek. The
clans were not cooked in the old
fashioned Indian way, with hot
rocks and sea weeds. but after the
white mans way, in boiling water.
They are not go good cooked this
way.
Some complaint is made about the
people destroying the beautiful
rhodedendron bushes that are SO
attractive to the people who come
to the sea shore. To prevent this
wanton destruction of the bushes
the Newport Commercial Club ap-
pointed a committee to prevent. if
possible, this destruction.
The excursion train Sunday
brought in about two hundred
persons who spent the day at the
beach. The day was fine and
everyone enjoyed themselves. The
beaches and hills were lined with
people. all having good time.

feel better afterwards.
The election passed off very
quietly. there not being much in
terest taken. Not half the vote Of
the precincts were polled. 1t will
take the general election in the
Fall to tell what the people want
The main scrap was on the Sheriff
and Treasurer. but Bert Geer won
by q good margin.
At the school board meeting held
Friday MIR. Burggraf, the architect
of Albany. was employed to draw

CRUISER TO
ESCORT The
JAP LINER
By United Press.

By United Press.
Van couver, B. c., July 20. Work
men today are repairing the Canadian
cruiser Rainbow which will be
manned by naval militia and will es-
cort the Japanese liner Komagata
when she sails away with several hun
dred Hindus who were denied admis-
sion into Canada.
Following the clash between the
Hindus and the police yesterday all is
quiet today. Police boats are hover
ing near the liner.
The battle grew out OF an attempt to
rid the harbor of the Japanese steam
er, on which $50 Hindus came to this
port three months ago. only to have
the Canadian immigration officials re-
fuse them admission to the country.
Their claim of a right to land as Brit
ish subjects was overruled by the
courts and the steamer was ordered to
sail with them on board
