Newport, Or, July 30.-Motorists
have been reveling in the firm, well
packed roads, which have followed in
the wake of the recent light storms,
which were prevalent over the noun
tain during the last week. In few
cases, where chains we're not used, some
inconvenience was caused by skidding
but generally the drive has been made
by all without mishap. Weather condi-
tions continue favorable here Slight
mists appear in the early mornings but
by noon all moisture has disappeared
and the bright, cloudless afternoons
are passed on the beach, in bathing,
hiking or more phlegmatic diversions.
The tides have been so low at certain
hours this week that autoists have been
able to drive their cars to Agate beach
on the hard sand. 1t is possible to make
record speeding along the shore without
experiencing the usual discomfort of
fast driving along the imperfect roads.

sports for the delectation Of the spruce
soldiers. Professor Robert Krohn, Pity
steal director of the camps around
Newport, staged a regular prize fight
at the Soldiers and Sailors club Satur-
day night. Besides the series of rounds
fought by outside talent, several bouts
were engaged in by some of the local
boys, which because of their amAteur'
lishness created no inconsidc-able
sport. Professor Krohn is getting the re.
creation work so well organized in the
camps, that one seldom evisits the bar
racks at leisure times when games of
some kind are not being INDUCED in.
At the South Beach camp, where about
400 men are under the command OF
Lieutenant Hoskins, volley ball has be-
come one of the most popular games
and there is plenty of good natured
rivalry between the opposing sides. A
series Of ball games have been arranged
between the various camps and each
Sunday finds the grand stand at the
city ball park crowded to the limit.
J Several hiking parties have arrived
in Newport during the week, having
made the trip over the mountain OF
foot. A Salem party, consisting of tn
Misses Bessie Wilson, Ina Proctor, Vidi

one of these slipped past the censor

cessary to find a lodging place for tn
night, the only available covering prov
} ed to be an abandoned barber shop. No
to be daunted by any misgivings of tn
location, beds were made down and

party. These young women are occupy
