Crowds at Newport Beaches
Thinning Slowly; September
Weather Will DrawFew More

Newport, Or, Sept. 3-This week has
seen the Newport beach season reach
its highest mark and the tide OF travel
is again slowly and steadily ebbing to
wards the rising sun. Many there are
who regret the necessity that ccmpels
them to give up the pleasures Of the va
cation season at the seashore and return
to the drudgery of the business grind
The season now nearing its close has
without exception been the best New
port has yet experienced and the ronera
satisfaction expressed among tint thou
sands who have visited this beach au
gurs well for the future. One sentiment
voiced practically unanimously among
the visitors and tourists is the hope OF
better transportation facilities before
another season opens. The Southern Pa
-cific company is roundly and soundly
condemned by all for it's refusal to oper-
ate its trains to Newport this season.
There has also been considerable com
plaint regarding an insufficient numbel
OF passenger coaches in the trains and
numerous instances are mentioned of
people being unable to obtain seats and
beiAg obliged to occupy the smoker. Of
late, however, this has been remcdied.

yesterday by Z. M. Baker, the propric-
tor of the Nyebeach Natatorium, getting

and pulling his gun on him. The driver
