Some Of the friends and neighbors
of Mrs W. S. Hall got together and
planned a surprise for her in the way
OF birthday party given in the
Chalcraft Park Monday evening A
large bonfire was built which lit up
the park almost as bright as day and
around this fire the merry makers
gathered. Ice cream and cake were
served while the group was seated
on the grass and the boughs CT the
alder, spruce and fir made a beautiful
awning overhead. The evening was
spent in playing games, telling stories
singing favorite songs and eating an
elegant preparation Of ice cream Oh.
tained at Newport. The fun was kept
up till la.e hour when all repaired
to their respective homes, feeling the

profitably spent. Ii was the wish OF
all present that Mrs Hall might have
more such pleasant and happy birth

1t was pronounced by all who par
took of the feast to be great success
The Elks do not do things by halves
Jess Frey and his assistants are
princes when it comes 20 managing
a clam bake. 1t is a nice thing to get
the bake just right. On account of not
getting any crabs or venison only three
articles were put in the bake, viz,
clans, potatoes and salmon. Jess took
his first lessons from the Indians es-
pecially from the beautiful Indian
n1adens who took great pride in cook
ing their camas with hot rocks and
steam. The clam bake is cooked the
same way. When done right each ar
ticle in the pit retains its natural fla
vor. When thus prepared it gives no
one any stomach or bowel trouble,
and causes no sickness. Some 1000
persons were present and partook of
the feast. The day was ideal and the
view of the jetty work, the bar, bay
and ocean was all that could be desired
and the beach here is one of the incest
for strolling and enjoying yourself OF
any beach on the Oregon coast. When
the work on the jetties is completed
Yaquina harbor will be the finest one
south of Portland. One aeroplane was
present and good many persons took
q ride in the air some two or three
thousand feet from mother earth. 1t
takes some nerve to do this. Front
street was parked full of cars on both
sides, thing never seen before at
Newport. The order was perfect and
no accidents occurred. 1t was really a
day of unalloyed pleasure.
The road from Siletz to Newport is
in fine condition and will remain so till
the fall rains commence then it will
stop all auto travel until the road is
completed. The roads from Siletz to
Toledo is also in fine condition. The
work on this road under supervision
of Mr.. Marvin is certainly fine and the
crew of men under him have surely
done good work and have lost nc
time and they deserve commentator
and credit from the tax payers who
foot the bills.
