the horse to do so, ami Pia..Vs partner

He

Nearly every night this week a crowd

The business men' team of this city
went to Rainier yesterday for tbe pur--e
ol taking tho business men of that
pla e int camp in nine innings of the
natr.nal pastime. We will publish the
result of the bloody battle next week.
The line up fir tbe locals was: Cat
cher, U It. Rutherford; pitcher, 8. C.
Morton; first baBe. J. S. Allen; Second
base, Geo Flagg; third base, M. E. Mil
ler; while the outfield was decorated by
the following exrts, or as many of
then as conld be persuaded to go down;
Sheriff A. K. Thompson, Deputy Clerk.
A K. Barnett, Wilbur Muckle. Roy
Craig and Dr. L. G. Koss. Cook was
to catch for Rainier, Wilde pitch, Brooks
play short and that old shark. Jack
Stary, take care of the initial sack, with
Geo W. Vogel looking after the real
estate around the second station. Bill
Reid was to saw wood at third, and we
are in the dark as to where the talent
lor the outfield is to come from, though
we have their assurance that McCredie
will have nothing to do with furnishing
it. '
It has been pretty generally known
that during the past some very punk
little shows have been at this place, but
they were all of them high class attract
ions as compared with the outfit known
as "Clarks Ideal Comedy Co" that ap
jie ired at the City HhII last Wednesday
night. They advertised to start at 8.30,
but they were unable to pay their rent
until after nine, and Marshal WiUins
had to be on tbe job all of the time to
get it. The audience was glau wticn
they finally started, - but immediately
had cuue to regret it. There was rot
one in the whole bunch that could lay
anv claim to talent as an actor, and their
efforts were laughable only because they
were so absolutely punk.
The business transacted by the post
oflice is a very good barometer of the
general business of the town in which
the post-oll'ne ia located. This being a
fact, St. Helens must stand very near
the top of the list of small towns, for
the post-olllce records show that money
order receipts for the first fifteen days of
the jireswiit month were $M00 80 while
for the corresponding eriod lust year
they were $1907.34, a ditfVrence of 3303.
41). Our international money order
business is a great convenience to many
desiring to seiul money 10 ioreigo
couutiies. and attmcts people from our
rural districts. July l-'th fourteen
foieign orders were issued on six foreign
countries w ithin two hours. The stamp
sales of the poet -office were considerably
over a third more for tho first fifteen
days of the present month than they
were lor the corresponding period a year
ago. More post-oftice boxes were
rented during the first fifteen days of
lute thin rear that durine any like
period in the history of theollice, wtncn
would seem to indicate that the increase
ol business was not a mere spurt.

WE COT OURS
If St. Helena was due to get a skinning
as we have heard of so often predicted,
then last Sunday we certainly got all
that was coming. Tho Columbus Club
came down and the way that they put
the locals out of business was something
sail to witness. Stevens got bumped all
over the lot, for singles and doubles,
the doubles being preferred. Then
Brakke went in the seventh, and the
way that he was treated can be best
guessed at from I'ete's own words,
'Thi'y will never get me to play any
where but third base again."
Our sores are easily accounted for
and there Is no trouble in telling how
they were made, because they were an
absolutely minus quantity. The visitors,
and they are some ball players, were
shutout for the first two innings, but in
the third they chased three men across
the pan. The fourth and fifth were
also passed in safety, and tbe email
crowd began to hope that those three
scores were a mistake but in tbe sixth
four hits, an error and a man 'bit by tbe
pitcher sent another trio into the run
column. The seventh was another
joyful inning, and there was not a
single one scored! Pete Brakke had
taken the wheel and it looked as though
he was going to deliver the goods, but
the eighth inning was a nightmare of
the first order, and the total scored in
this inning was five, which with the
two put over in tbe Dinth mule a total
of thirteen runs for the visitors, which
looked awful big as compared with the
big O we got.
Iu the fourth we had one on second
and one on third with only one out but
were unable to score and in the eighth
the first three men up hit for singles, but
th next two forced a man at the plate,
and the final out was made on a slow
roller to the pitcher. There was some
class to the way that the visitors played
ball.

Editor Mist:
I just heard that St Helena
would vote next Tuesday regard
ing the site for the New School
House. Why in the name of all
things should there be any con
troversy as regards sites?
There is only one site and that
is Washington Square. Wash
ington Square is a central loca
tion. Washington Square was
selected as the place by the old
committe on location. Washing
ton Square if nature had tried to
out do herself could not be im
proved upon, and is the only
place in the city of St Helens
where more than 200 feet can be
had for play grounds, it being
496 by 638 feet with an eighty
foot street around the square.
Six lots adjoining Washington
Square have been donated by Mr.
Nicholas and the deed for same
has been delivered to the school
board thereby making a complete
park with shade trees and ample
grounds for base ball and other
sports.

Last Sunday tbe Clatskanie Ball team
defeated the fast Columbia Hardware
Co. team, of Portland, by a score of 11
to 8. Earlier in the season the bard
wye team defeated Clalskanie, and tbe
boys were determined to even it up.
But there are very few of tbe teams
around Portland that have much chance
with Clatskanie when tbe boys down
tbe river are really playing their game.
Mr, and Mrs. Orrin Able returned
last week from a vacation in Seattle.
While over on the Sound Mr. Able look
ed over a boat which Lawrence Holman
was thinking of baying for the Portland
Aastoria run, but there was nothing
that was fast enough for tbe job that
could be obtained. Mr. Holman is now
living in Portland, looking after the
Portland end of the Sjtr. America's busi
ness. He says that by next summer
he will surely have a fast passenger
boat on the run to the city by tbe sea
Again last Sunday the town was filled.
with automobilints troui Portland, and
they will undoubtdly keep coming.
There are few drives in Oregon that
are nicer .than from here to Portland,
and when the road work that is now
being done is completed it will be the
best one of them all. But when there is
an automobile road between here and
the Nehalem on a good grade there will
be an even larger number come this
way.
A crowd of about thirty went np tbe
river as far as the house boat of the Dead
Willow Duck Club last Fiiday and had
a g kkI time. They left here at about
four o'clock in charge of Mrs. Yeoman
and on board the Triton and after the
nice ride up the river tried picking
blackberries ou Sauvies Island. The
berry picking was seriously interfered
with by the most voracious m.ioquitoes
in the world, but the lunch was never
theless greatly enjoyed, and when the
boat landed at the dock here at about
nine o'clock everyone had bad a fine time
Peter Buzukos, the lightweight
champion of the world, and Walt John
son, a 150 pound wrestler of considera
ble repute, went on the mat at the City
Hall in this city last Saturday night
before a good sUed audience. The
match was not close enough to be really
interesting, as Buzukos had the Swede
at his mercy all of the time and won in
two straight falls. Next Saturday night
Biuukos will wrestle with J. C. Me
Donald, a 175 pounder, and McDonald's
extra weight should be advantage en
ough to enable him to give the Greek a
run for his money.
The office force of the sheriff is busy
this week getting out the notices of
delinquent taxes. All property on which
the tax is not paid before August will
be advertised for sale, and certificates
issued for the amount of the taxes.
While the law in this matter is slightly
changed from what it was a vear ago,
there is no material difference.
