had learned by experience that when
the tide was out the table was set.
They had lived SO long on oysters,
clans, crabs and other sea food that
they had grown strong and vigorous
on this food which contains a large
amount Of phosphorous which con-
stitutes large amount OF the brain
making foods; that the people could
live on their wits without work. This
seemed to be the idea of Mr.. Douty
If this be true then in order to fool
them with any kind of schemes, Mr.
Douty would have to eat whale.
Mr.. Douty said men who own large
vessels that could carry three or four
million feet of lumber, could not pass
out over the Yaquina bar because of
lack Of water, consequently smaller
vessels would have to be used and the
small vessels would not justify the
building of large sawmills. But small
er vessels could be buii. carrying five
or six hundred thousand feet of lum-
ber Such mills would have to be
built along the line of railroad so the
lumber could be shipped by rail. This
statement seemed to be in the inter-
est of the railroad and against the
harbor. The improvements on the
Yaquina harbor has cost up to this
time over eight hundred thousand dol
lars and the project is not yet finished
1T will probably cost a million and
half dollars before 1t is completed.
The people don't want to loose this
money-they want the water ways as
Gods highways and these waterways
are the bays that regulate the pas
sengor and freight rates and keeps
them down. In this present work On
the jetties the people OF Lincoln
county go $3.50 with the Government
and we don't want to loose this val
liable money. The bar already has
22 feet of water at low tide and when
the jetties are completed a depth of
26 or 27 feet will be obtained at low
water. Ninty percent Of the shipping
done over this bar-so seafaring men
say-will be done by vessels carrying
from eight hundred thousand to mil.
lion feet Of lumber. Mr.. Jones made
a strong plea for the water ways and
the improvement of the Yaquina Bay
harbor. DR.. Belt also made an elo-
quent and flowery speech in favor of
cooperation. The meeting was very
largely attended by the citizens of
Newport and vicinity.

ANOTHER PIONEER
PASSES ON


Luretta' c. Grant, beloved wife OF
b. F. Grant, died Friday evening, Sept.
9th, 1921, after an illness of several
months.
Mrs. Grant was born at Fort Lane.
Jackson County. Oregon, Dec. 11th.
1854. Her parents had sought pro-
lection in the old fort during an In
dian seige and she. was born there.
She was Of family of fourteen, chill.
dren of which three are living: Mrs.
Mary M Derrick of Salem, Oregon;
Mrs. Syblerina Kaler of Tacoma,
Wash; Mrs. Louisa j.. Thompson of
Prairie City, Oregon.
Luretta c. Oglesby and B. F. Grant
were married May 23, 1875 at her
parents home on Little Elk. They
moved to their homestead on Big Elk
at once and have lived there As years.
They lived on the place seven years
before this country was surveyed.
There were many hardships to under
go those days but she willingly put
her hand to The wheel and helped her
husband build their home and raise a
large family. She was the mother
OF ten children, six boys and four
girls OF which two are dead-one boy,
Samuel, who died in infancy and the
Oldest daughter, Cora Dore died at
the age of 20 years leaving two boys
Clifford and Grant. Mr.. and Mrs.
Grant raised the Oldest boy and the
younger one lived with his father until
he was 13 years old, then he came
to his grandparents. The hildren
have all married and settled around
the old place, making quite a settle.
ment. Only two girls are living away
Mrs Charles Cody, of Newport,
Oregon and Mrs. Bessie Moore of
Corvallis, Oregon.
Several years ago after things be.
gan to come little easier for the
old couple they built fine big house
to end their days in. 1t was always
merry with noises as the children
came home every few days. People
often asked Mrs. Grant IL the care
of the big house wasn't too much for
her and she always said mo. 1t Is
none too big when the children all
come home and we are happiest when
they are all here" 1t was quite a
crowd when they all gathered in as
there are nineteen grand children and
a great grand daughter.
Her last days held one blessing few
parents have-her children were all
with her-each day they would run
in for few minutes and the last few
days were with her constantly.
Her five stalwart sons, and the
grandson she raised were the chosen
pailIbearers. 1t was a beautiful but
most pathetic sight to see those six
splendid men carrying their mother
to her last resting place. Tho 1t
meant anguish to them they were
paying her for some of the things she
had done for them.
They laid her to rest In the little
cemetery on the hill so each night,
when the sun goes down, her lonely
husband can stand on the front porch
Of the house he built for her and see
the last red rays resting where she
sleeps the last long sleep
