the past and is growing in volume daily
and it seems now that the height Of
the summer will yet be extended an
other two weeks at least, during the

feel very comfortable to the summer
visitors while Monday refreshing show
er of rain tempered the atmosphere
to q delightful degree of mildness.
I The agitation over the train service
between Newport and Yaquina is ap-
jparently reaching climax. The assist
ant director of railroads, is now ell
route here from Washington, D. c., to
give the matter thorough and per-
sonal investigation. The Newport Com
mercial club is making active prepara-
tion for his reception and entertain
ment. The Willamette valley CONNER
cial bodies will be invited to attend.
The Southern Pacific strongly and sue
ctssfully has opposed every effort thus
far to secure this train service Just
why the S. p. should make such siren
uous objection to it is not apparent on
the surface.
| Work on the macadam highway be-
tween Newport and Toledo is being

made large purchases of road building
machinery and is carrying out extens-
i've work on the Siletz road which con-

miles of this road and not many years
ago the county expended about $685.
