Unt Siinday the flint Colmnlila Hardware team of rortlund attempted to do things to our boys but after ten InnliiRH of thrills, with lionin runs and three baggors, over running banes and spectacular fielding stunts, the score stood 9 to 8 In favor of Bt. Helens Klkmnn started out on the mound for Bt. Helens but It deemed to he his duy off and before the first Inning was over the vUltors had made fi hits nnil scored four runs, while the best Bt. Helens could do was one lonely run. The score board looknd tho same way until tho 6th Imiinr when the visitors hunched hits anil filled tho bnses when the next man up knocked tho ball so far that the bnyu have not been able to locate It; ro suit 4 runs. Hut that was all they ever got. In the snmo fifth Inning the first three Bt. Helens boys un connected for singles thereby filling the bnses when the mighty lines Hall stepped up to the plate with his big war club and knocked the bull out of the lot to keep company with the other lost Imll which preceded It from the bat of the stranger. He rn It four high oallhy runs for Bt. I lei ens. At tho end of this Inning the threom ore runs making 8 all visitors.. It stood that wy. until the eighth.. liming, when 3 tilts gave iif three more runs making In 8 In all. In the 10th Inning the visitors could do nothing while the locals put one core across thereby ending one of the best games of the season. After the first Inning Virgil Stevens pitch ed for Bt.

Tho Steamer Qulnault of the Port land Alaska Steamship line, after taking on 200 M feet, of lumber for delivery at the Sheep Creek, Alaska station? of the Alaska-Gastlneaux Mining Company, left out Tuesday night. In addition to the cargo the steamer loaded, here, she carried a capacity load of merchandise and general supplies shipped by the Port land merchants to their Alaska cus tomers. She also bad a considerable number of passengers. . The Steamer Klamath, Captain Jahnsen, left Monday night bound for San Francisco, with a cargo of a million feet of lumber and piling and sixty passengers. The Steamer Willamette, after tak ing on 900 M feet of railroad ties for delivery at Southern California ports left down river Wednesday night. She also carried 45 passeng ers. The Steamer Multnomah arrived in Thursday night and is loading at the docks of the Columbia County Mill. She will sail Saturday night for San Pedro with a full cargo of lumber and a fair passenger list. Tlie Steamer San Jacinto of the Hart-Wood fleet Is taking on a par tial etifgo of lumber at the docks of the Lumber Company. She will leave dow tonight bound for San FrandUco.S . r The Steamer Johan Poulsen of the Loop Lumber Company's fleet loaded a cargo of lumber 'at the Columbia County Mill and sailed Thursday for San Francisco. The large British Steamer Cape FlnUteere is expected to arrive In St. Helens either Sunday or Monday. She will take a partial cargo of two million feet here which Is to be deli vered' In China. The owners of the vessel and the buyers of the cargo evidently think that the Japanese warships will sufficiently entrtiln the few German warships on the Pacific to such an extent that their steamer and cargo will be safe to send out. . . . Capt. Iver Ivergold of the Steamer Johan Poulsen which was here Thursday reported that on his way up the Coast and about 60 nlles from San Francisco, he sighted the German warship Lelpslg. The Poul sen came close enough to the war ship tcr easily make out her I lontlty and also to see that she was stripped for action. Evidently she wa3 wait ing outside to en gaga the Japanese cruiser which at that time was on the dry dock In San Francisco. HEROIC ACTON SAVES MAN EDWARD A. WOODSIDE, 19 YEARS OLD, JUMPS INTO RIVER AND SAVES LIFE j Gratitude Displayed by Saved Man is Pathetic. Proper . Case of Carneige . Medal MRS. HAZEN HAS . A BIRTHDAY Banquet Served Consisting of Home Grown Products Mrs. M. F. Hazen had a birthday last Monday and during the after noon a number ofl adles called at her home to spend the afternoon and ex tend congratulations, Refreshments were served and a real pleasant after noon, was enjoyed. - In the evening Mrs. Hazen was pleasantly surprised by a number of friends -who met at her home and enjoyed a regular birthday party. During the evening a banquet was served in the spacious dining room wliioh consisted of nearly all home grown products. The table was laden -with the pro ducts of the garden of Mr. and Mrs. Hazen, some of the delicacies belug strawberries fresh from the vines with good Jersey cream, peaches from the trees In the yard, chlc'.ton from the poultry yard and var'ous other things, all prepared In the most approved style. Mr. and Mrs. Hazen proved to be royal entertainers and the party lasted well into the night C. Klrkpatrick, who hag been directing' the St. Helens band for Borne time will leave next week for Marsh Hold where he has accepted a position. , ; . An act of heroism worthy the attention of the Carnegie Hero Com mission was displayed at St. Helena last Saturday afternoon when Ed ward A Woodslde, a young Ameri can boy, 19 yearB old risked his life In saving the life of an Italian work man. Woodslde and Reginato Ange lo were working together on a barge loading wood In front of the brg dock of the St. Helens Mill. About 4 o' clock the load was completed and the men started to go up the gang plank to the dock. Woodslde was about half way up the plank when he heard? a splash and another workman on the dock shouted "man over board" whereupon young Woodslde ran back to the barge and looking down in the water could see Angelo's hat floating. Waiting a second or two to locate the man he saw his head coming up and Immediately jumped into the river and caught Angelo around the waist. Immedi ately Angelo grabbed Woodslde a round both arms and together they WBfcv.-out f light Bx, rjfic kfcklng and struggling Woodsme re leased one of his arms from the grasp of .the drowning man and success fully reached the surface of the water and then using his feet and the one arm, he swam towards the dock which be . reached after a struggle and throwing his a-m a round a piling, . Holding the drc ulng man with the other hew alted 'until the men on the dock lowered a ladder and were raised to the dock. The Italian was so nearly drowned that It took some time to resuclate' him as he had kept his mouth wide open and had swallowed considerable water. Mr. Woodslde was dressed for workThg having on logging shoes, trousers and overalls. The gratitude displayed by the man who was saved from drowning by the heroism of young Woodslde was really pathetic. He did not know just bow to express It but on the following day he insisted on do ing all his own work and that of his rescuer too. - He talked to his coun trymen on every occasion and was loud in his praises of the heroism of the young American boy who risked his life to save a fellow being. SHIPS CARRY MANY PASSENGERS M'Cormick Fleet Carries 10,000 People in 1913 Few people realize the amount of travel there is on the boats between Portland and San Francisco. Figures jUBt available show that the five boats of the McCormlck line, the Klamath, Willamette, Multnomah, Merced, Celilo and Tosemlte, carried during 1913 more than 10,000 pas sengers." During this time the Mer ceed only operated four and one-halt months while the Celilo only operat ed a couple of months. Therefore there were really Only four boats in operation owned, by the McCormlck Co., and each one averaged "2600 passengers during the year. It is estimated by the officers of the com pany that there will be from 12,000 to 15,000 passengers carried by them during this year. Mrs. Morris Kanary of West St. Helens went to Portland Wednesday on the Iralda. At two o'clock she was -upon the operating table In St. Vin cents Hospital, advised by Dr. Amelia Zelgler who belped with the opera tion. Mrs. Thayer accompanied her and remained with her nutll Thurs day afternoon. , ' An abscess of the left breast made an Immediate operation necessary. )
