for bathers, in fact, not for many years
has surf bathing been so popular with
visitors Great crowds of women, men
and children, laughing, shivering. daily
take part in these exhilirating salt sea
baths.
The chief social event of the past
week was the military dance on Wed
nesday evening, given by the officers
of the Yaquina Bay. This is the first
function of this kind given here this
season and it was a. rather impressive
ball, graced as it was by gold and sill

gold leaf, Delicious refreshments. were
served and the party disbanded at a
late hour, voting that a speedy repeti-
ton of this affair would be most graf
flying The officers plan upon giving
these dances Wednesday of each week.
Fishing on the bay has been one of
the most popular occupations of visit
ors this last week. Rocky Mason of Al
lbany, and William McGilehrist of Sa-
lem, went out the last of the week and
in a few hours drew in about $50 fish
each, tom cod, perch, founders and
similar specie of the salt water. These
fish are caught with line cast from
the end of the boat and at this season
of the year, when the fish are very
plentiful, can be pulled in about as
fast as one can cast out line. Several
parties have visited the Siletz during
the week and have brought back tales
of extraordinary catches of salmon
trout. One must perforce take these
stories with the traditional grain of
SALT but some of them are substanti-
ated with life like pictures Of regular
fish, so we cannot be too skeptieal in
the face of such evidence.
