MEETING BIG HELD
Discussion as (0 Location of
Highway in Progress
The County Court is in session
this afternoon discussing the loca
tion of the Columbia County High
way from Tide Creek to the Mult
nomah County line. There is a dis-
Frank Gliniecki who had just lately Dositin on tne part of the High
purchased it and had it remodelled way entfjnet,rg to make this road up
and fitted up as a first class hotel. the Wwtt gi(le of the rajroad track
The origin of the fire is unknown th way an,j jna8rnucn na most
but from an inves'.igatirn made by I ,f lm, money received from the
the firemen it has been determined le 0f bonds has been appropriated
that a defective flue passing to 1)uij the roaj from Ti(le Creek
"Bine
through the attic was the cause.
The very prompt and hard work
of the fire boys, taken together
with the installation of the city
mains into that portion of the city
saved the destruction of the entire
business portion of Houlton. Too
much praise can not be given our
fire department for the efficiency
displayed on each and every occa
sion of fire. It is a common saying
among the people now that with
the present organization and the
trrunt aiir.n v of water there is
very little danger of a serious con
flagration in this city, and this state
nfairuir will soon be extended so
as to include West St. Helens as
well.
Tho property owners adjoining
the burnod building were so well
pleased with the work that checks
in various amounts from $10 to
$25 were mailed the fire company
n appreciation of the good work
done.
The loss at ths fire will fall quite
. .. . . l
heavily on Mr. (iliniecK! wno nnu
uo the Clatsop county line, the
County Court and the citizens
generally in this part of the Coun
tv. are favoring the building of
the road on the old road, where
practically all of the grading and
all the rights of way are finished
and secured. Quite a delegation
from Clatskanie and Rainier are in
the city to day to urge the Court
t) accept the State Higeway Engi
neer's plan in order to make sure
of getting the appropriation from
the State. Of course If this course
is followed there will be sufficient
money from the remainder of the
bond issue the general tax and the
State appropriation to buy at least
a portion of the right of way from
here to Multnomah. With $260,000
of that already appropriated for
the lower road it would certainly
seems the better judgment to get
the best possible results from the
other $20,000 on about one-half the
road in the county.

St. Helens Boys Wins Opening
Game" 13 to 2
The new baseball grounds were
dedicated last Sunday when St.
Helens defeated the team from La
Center by a score of 13 to 2. Th
game was rather interesting de
spite the one-sided score, and up
till the eighth inning it was any
hpdy'a game. Eikman and Morton
were batterymen for the local team
and Fitzgerald and Hanson for the
boys from Washington. Perhaps
the most interesting feature of the
game was the accurate and strong
throwing arm of Morton, who
caught every man who attempted
to 8 teal, by a perfect peg to second.
Eikman pitched a strong game for
the first of the season, not walking
a single man during the entire nine
innings and striking out several of
the best batters of the opposing
team. The grand stand and bleach
ers were well filled with enthusias
tic rooters, and the brass bands
from both towns discoursed music
throughout the game. With such
support as was accorded the boys
at this first game there is every in
dication of a successful season in
this city. There will be another
game played next Sunday with
some good team, perhaps Ridge-field.
On Wednesday May 13th Mrs.
William Ross enteftained at her
hospitable home, the members of
M. E. Aid Society and a few
invited guests, the occasion being
the anniversary of this thriving
organization. The afternoon was
most pleasantly spent with fancy
work, and just before the delicious
lunch was served, Mrs. Richard
Williams sang "Forgotten" in her
usual pleasing manner and respon
ded to a hearty encore with one of
Nevins songs. There were thirty
four ladies present, which speaks
well both for the popularity of the
hostess and the "Ladies Aid"
