Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1915-08-13
NEWPORT


Senator Harry Lane, wife and
daughter came in Saturday
evening and registered at the
Abbey. The Senator is on q
tour of inspection of our harbors
and rivers and the resources OF
the county, especially the big
timber interests. On Sunday
the Senator, accompanied by his
wife and little daughter, took an
auto trip to Siletz Agency. The
Senator is much impressed with
the possibilities of that country,
especially the fine soil, the dairy
and timber interests. On Mon
day the party started on a trip
of inspection and pleasure, going
to the Alsea bay, Waldport and
Ocean View, where the Senator
will learn something OF the great
body of timber that is in that
section of the country. This
will give him good idea of the
resources of that part OF the
country. On Friday a special
meeting will be held at Marsh
field at which time Senator
Chamberlain will be present.
This meeting is for the purpose
of investigating the harbor i'm
provements of that place. Rep
resentative Hawley will probably
be there also. This personal in
spection of our harbors, bays
and resources of the country
will be a great help to our Sen
ators when they come to ask for
appropriations to improve them.
We must be persistent in asking
for appropriations; keep knock
ing at the door and it will be
opened after awhile. In 1S49, in
the Fall, General Joseph Lane,
grandfather of Senator Lane,
with an Indian in a canoe passed
out over the bar and back, the
first white man that ever crossed
the Yaquina bar. General Lane
thought this one of the most
beautiful bays he ever saw, and
it's a strange co-incident that
after a lapse of more than a half
century his grandson should be
here, a senator, looking over the
harbor with view to having 1t
improved. Senator Lane has a
warm place in his heart for va
quina bay. r. H., ..l
DR.. and Mrs. Bell are at New
port for a weeks outing. DIR.
Bell was at the great exposition
and speaks in the highest terms
of the fair but says the climate
Is nothing compared to Oregon.
All around San Francisco Is a
harren waste and as hot as
hades. He says there is nothing
that will compare in beauty and
grandeur of scenery as our own
beautiful Columbia river and the
city of Portland.
Fred Chambers has just re-
turned from two months visit
to California. He was at the
great fair and says it is i'm
mense; no description can do
justice to it. You must see the
fair and go over the grounds in
order to have an idea of its i'm
menceness. 1t is a credit to the
United States and to the world.
Fred says he had two months Of
unalloyed pleasure, but after all
Oregon-the evergreen state-is
the best and most pleasant place
to live. He was glad to get
back.
Mr.. Barr Jones and Mrs. Jen-
ME Kendall, both of Roseburg,
were married on Thursday at 2
p. m. on the high seas, Captain
Garner of the ollie S., perform
ing the ceremony. This getting
married on the high seas is be-
coming quite a fad, a romance
that is greatly enjoyed by the
newly married couple. There is
something fascinating about the
deep, blue sea and rolling waves
that lovers enjoy. Cupid rock
juts out into the ocean on Bay
beach near the bar and here is a
great place for lovers to sit and
listen to the music of the sirenes
as they fit about on the waves
and to listen to the low, sweet
sound of the surf as it beats up
on the shore.
The country was shocked by
the horrible crime that was com.
mitted near Chitwood last week
Seldom has such a tragedy beer
committed and justice follow sc
quickly. Just "a hours after the
crime was reported by their vic.
tim they had received life sen
tence. They committed thu
crime at 2 o'clock Thursday af
ternoon, were captured at z
lodged In jail at 10 o'clock. th,
