LunilH'r From St. Helen Goes to K-vcrul ForclKn Porta More Vessels to Ixiud Here. Ten years ago or lees It was scarce ly believable that St. Helens would become the groat lumber-shipping port that it has developed into. All this has been brought about by the installation here of one of the great lumbering Institutions of the Pacific Northwest. And the possibilities are only just budding. Last week when the American steamship Alvarado cleared from this port with practi cally one and one-half million feet of lumber manufactured in our little city, destined for the great markets of the Atlantic seaboard, it marked the beginning of a line of trade which has no bounds. The installation in New York city of Immense lumber distributing yards by the Chas. It. McCormick Lumber Company was the Initial step that will lead the march of Invasion of the east coast states by the greatest product of the West. The assurance that the Alva rado's cargo is only one of many doz en to leave our city for an eastern destination Is Indeed, gratifying. following closely upon the depart ure of the Alvarado was a cargo for the same destination carried by the good ship which bears the proud name of this splendid city, the St. Helens, which left here last Saturday evening, carrying 600,000 feet of lumber produced at the large plant here. Her cargo was completed at Westport, totalling a million and a half feet, bound for New York. The Alvarado will return here in about two and one-half months for another cargo for the eastern market. Shipping has been lively from the local port during the last two weeks, with fair prospects of continued ac tivity. The schooner Forest Home is en route to St. Helens from Honolu lu, to load 850,000 feet of lumber for Valparaiso, Chill. The Klamath, the flag ship of the McCormick fleet, cleared on Wednesday for Guaymas, Mexico, with ties and piling, her car go approximating 1,100,000 feet. The steamer John Poulsen cleared on the 7 th with a full cargo for San Francisco, and the Celilo will clear this (Friday) evening for San Pedro with a full cargo of lumber and com- 1 V r 7 h 7 J Steamship Alvarado, which cleared from St. Helens for New York April 8, with 1,400,000 feet of lumber. farm of 15 acres or less. This is in addition to any other prizes they may win. Kay Tnrbell of Intervale Farm, offers a $5 Ancona cockerel for the best pen of Anconas, tho donor not competing for this prize. There are a number of flocks of Anconas in the county and this should help to bring them out. The Pomona Grange offers prizes of $3 and $2 and $1 for the most potatoes raised on one square rod of ground; 12 of the potatoes to be shown at the fair this fall. This is confined to the school children of the county. The Fair Association offers sev eral specials, chief among them Is a $20 set of dishes for a couple to be married on the fair grounds. This goes to tho first couple to apply. BALL SEASON WILL OPEN NEXT SUNDAY St. Helens Team M ill Meet IjiCenter Players nt the Latter Place. i Activity with the local ball players Is fairly on. The first game for the St. Helens team will be played next Sunday at LaCenter, meeting the team from the latter place. Hoat for LaCenter will leave St. Helens at 11:30, round trip fare 50 cents. E. 11. Wood, the manager of the team this year, la at present In California, hut ho has a worthy and capable as sistant In 10. I. Hnllngh, who is con ducting affairs of the team at present. Noah's Ark Midgets and the team of Juniors from Doer Island mot In deadly combat on the school ball grounds last Sundny, the outcome being a score of 10 to 17, in favor of the St. Helens tenm, and they have nil survived. A game will be played by the juniors hero noxt Sunday, probably against tho Houlton team. nlement of nassenpera Tha flmrlnnw and Multnomah are here today tak ing tun cargoes lor the south. Thus the march of progress pro ceeds. Nothing short of total bus iness paralysis can check the great volume of trade that Is destined to result from the initiative, the deter mination, the business thrift which has been established In our midst. Verily, St. Helens Is on the map of the nation. From the fact that a lo cal institution has led the way from the Pacific to the Atlantic for a great and growing line ot business will re dound forever to the credit and com mercial importance of our city. BOND ISSUE IS CAR RIED IN PORTLAND Ijirtfe Majority In Its Favor Means About 70 Miles of Paved ltoads. The bond issue question was car ried by an overwhelming majority in the election held in Portland Wed nesday. With this result the work ot paving about 70 miles of roads leading in practically every direction out ot Portland, can be taken up at once. The whole state was watching tne outcome ot the election with in terest. COLONY OF GREEKS IS RAIDED BY OFFICERS Sheriffs and City Marshal Capture Ievotees if Gaming Table. The Greek colony In St. Helena h again sprung Into prominence, the latest affair taking place last Satur- aay evening, when Sheriff Stanwood, Deputy Brown and City Marshal Chlttlm made a raid nn thpli mi o u ters and took six of the members who were having a auiet little nmn r draw, by surprise. The officers also took them to Jail. There wr thn usual flow of Greek eloquence by pantomime, the customary attempt to explain and the usual hubbub and powwow. Their appeals to the offi cers to relent and release were un availing, and their ultimate punish ment was meted out by Justice Wat kins, who assessed them I2K onh for their persistence in "bucking the tiger." One would he al tO the belief When thev trXanoa at tha Christian name given by some of these devotees of the green, that they had been attempting an emulation of some of their American brethren. For instance, one of the half dozen caught in the officers' drag net gave me name or John Palis, another Gust Papstavois. Nick Antonlns. Thennn- lis PoDe. Louie Don rnfl And flAnrirn Papaginols.

Anyhow, this last occurrence is Only One Of TnanV Just a ahnrt limn ago a miniature warfare broke forth in tne ureek colony, when some of the belligerents emerged with fing ers and ears bitten and otherwise maimed, resulting in work for the physicians, guardians nf tha and lawyers. As a result of the rerent nnthronV the county fund is augmented to the amount oi f lbu, ana Louie Jaras Is bound over to the grand Jury on a charge of mayhem and nthern nf thn colony are attempting to settle with some oi tneir countrymen who have instituted proceedings to recover $20,000 for personal injuries.

Its cost of construction was about $1300 and was insured for $800. The adjuster for the Commonwealth Insurance Co., F. J. Mayer, was in St. Helens yesterday and adjusted the loss, al lowing the amount of Insurance in full. Mr. Mntnnn will rahiillil at once, putting up a modern bungalow. ASSAULTED HIS WIFE, HE IS RELEASED Obstreperous Citizen of Trenholm Drought Before the Justice. Deputy Sheriff Charles Brown went to Trenholm Tuesday night on a hurry-up call and brought home with him one James Fitzgerald, whom. It was charged, had been mis treating his wife. Fitzgerald was arraigned before Justice Watklns In St. Helens Thursday and released, after the court had a serious time to decide whether or not It would be profitable to fine and incarcerate the belligerent. The sheriff admonished the offender to be more careful of his conduct In the future. FORD CARS FIND MANY ADMIRERS St. Helens Agency Sells Four Cars to Ijocnl People This Spring. Ford automobiles are becoming very popular In this community this season, the local agency, the Inde pendent Auto Co., having sold four cars already this Beason, with several more good prospects. E. I. Ballagh was the first purchaser, followed by A. Sauerveln ot Deer Island, Marshal J. L. Chlttlm and Rees Hall of St. Helens. The latter gentleman was fortunate enough to have his car given to him by admiring parents. He is making generous use of his car in entertaining his friends, too. RECORD CUT OF LUM BER MADE AT MILL Plant of Columbia Comity Lumber Co. Produces 133,000 Feet Manager Williams of the Columbia County Lumber Company, was shak ing hands with himself Wednesday evening. All this exhuberation was due to the fact that his mill here had made Its record cut that day, pro ducing 132,000 feet. The output was principally ties, but the logs were ot the cull variety. Manager Williams has a right to feel proud of the rec ord, Inasmuch as the plant was not designed nor constructed to turn out such a quantity of lumber In a ten hour run. Hut sometimes these saw mill plants perform miracles when the right fellow Is behind the gun. 1UV.11
