tied the homestead Of B. W. Wilson,,
the doctors father, located near West
Yaquina. This place was located on
about twenty years ago by Mr.. Wilson.
Many pleasant memories linger about
this spot. Here Mr.. Wilson used to
spend his vacations, enjoying the
beauties Of the scenery, the healthful-
ness Of the climate and walking over
to the beach with his family to enjoy
stroll on the seashsore. These were
happy days but also they are gone
and Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson have passed
over to that far away country from
whose bonds no traveller has ever re-.
turned. Things have changed. The
old house has gone to decay and the
brush has grown up around 1t SO that
you would hardly know the place
where the house stood. Mr.. Wilson
was clerk Of the county for 32 years
and was one Of the best known men in
the state. Mrs. Wilson said she
would like to have a Summer home
on this old homestead. Said that the
climate was better and the sc Emery
more beautiful than in the city OF New
York. She, with her sister, were de.
lighted with Yaquina bay and its
beautiful surroundings. The party re-
turned to the hotel after a nine mile
walk, feeling none the worse for the
trip. They left Saturday morning for
Corvallis where later they will contin.
'ue their journey to the Golden State.
