WHERE HEAVY SWELLS
BREAK ON THE BEACH

mer Outing and Perhaps

By Ethel Tooze

Newport, July 31.-NeWport is east
ly holding its own with all the other
resorts, and interest in the many attrae-
tions and beach life has even increased
with the beginning of another month.
1t is believed by many of the yearly
visitors that August is the most favored
month of the season and consequently
many new arrivals are expected who
will probably enjoy a continuous stay
until September.
An interesting event this week was
the arrival of one of the fishing boats
of the halibut fleet with cargo of over
$500 worth of fish. This is only one of
the many boats which visit the halibut
banks daily, however, although the size
of its catch was regarded with much
surprise. The banks are located just out
side the bar, many boats often being
seen on the fishing grounds at one time
from the bluffs.
The Beaver club of Portland, has
open its club house and several cottages
