A DUTY PERFORMED
When Sheriff A. E. Thompson put a. stop to the
Anderson-Edwards fight to have been pulled off at
PainiAKnn T oKnr Flav ir ia rmV.nh! thnf hp mflde
enemies where before he had friends, but it is also
a certainty it works the other way, and that there
will be many who will commend him for the action
he took in the matter. But the way in which people
would look at it seems to have been farthest from the
Sheriff's thoughts, as he was there as an officer of
the law, and performed only what he thought to
be a duty, even though it was perhaps a disagree
able one, as doubtless Mr, Thompson is in the same
boat as the editor of the Mist in one respect, and
wouldhave enjoyed a fast fight between a couple of
fast lightweights, such as Edwards and Anderson.
The bout was to have been a fight, Of that
there is no doubt in the mind of any one who has
watched the affair, and who knows the principals.
They were not allowed to put it on in Astoria.
One fight in Rainier would not have been so bad,
even though it would have given the county a lot
of unenviable notoriety, but as soon as this one was
over there would be attempts made to have others.
The town is located close to Portland and would
be handy for the pugs. The game is not allowed
in the cily any more and every time there was a
desire to have a finish fight it would be staged down
this way. Sheriff Thompson, in saying that the
exhibitions that are not permitted in any other
community cannot be staged in the county where
he has been elected to enforce the law, undoubt
edly took the right stand.
The exhibitions that were allowed to go on were
entirely harmless and at the first sign of roughness
would have been stopped. At one time in the
opinion of the Sheriff, Anderson was opening up a
little too much on his opponent and was at once
cautioned and instructed to go slower, which he
did. Boxing of this kind is a good thing, and such
bouts can be pulled off without violating the law
in the slightest. The boys went but six rounds,
and were as fresh ai the finish as when they start
e i. Boxing is a sport that should be indulged in
by evt ry boy, and if exhibitions were held in the
nhi way there i3 no doubn but that they would
be a big drawing card and that there would be no
objections raised, a3 there is a method provided for
holding such exhibitions under the state law.
WELCOME TO OUR CITY
Careful inquiry among the residents of the dis
trict proposed to be annexed to the city on the ltlth
of this month, loaves little doubt as to the result of
the election, in fact overcontidence on the part of
the friends of the movement, resulting in a large
stav at home vote seems to be the only danger at
the present time.
The wide awake people of this territory realize
that this will compriee the residence district of the
St, Helens to be, a city of consequence, a realiza
tion of their expectations when they built their
homes among the stumps, depending on the future
to bring forth improved conditions, water, light
and the things which only an organized community
can supply.
The people of St. Helens will welcome this addi
tion with open arms. The substantial homes com
pleted. and the character of improvements under
way is criterion enough of the quality of the people
living in this territory,
The city of the future depends very largely on
the manner in which we of today build; we of to
day should build our town in such a manner that
as we grow we win at all times know that our
foundations are capable of accomodating'an unlim
ited growth without costly changes in grades,
streets and what not often found necessary in
cities, the result of shortsightedness on the part of
the founders.
A city should at all times keep its growth well
within itself, to the end that permanent grades
may be established, that improvements may be of
uniform character and that the health of its people
may be properly cared for.
These things can successfully be carried out only
with the co-operation of all the people, the getting
together of the interested parties: the exchanging
anb merging of ideas: in other words a united
people with one purpose, the building of a city
the heritage of which our posterity will be proud.

COMPETITION; A LOST VOHI
What has become of the housewifes old friend
"competition"? No more do we hear Mrs. Jones
tell Mrs. Brown, "You can buy butter cheaper at
Smiths" Of course you can buy cheaper butter at
Smiths, "butter" "near Butter" and "far from
butter." But the education along "same business
lines seems to have had the same effect as did
civilization on the Indian. Statisticians are pro
mising a further advance in the price of meat for
the coming winter, this doesn't mean that Smith
is going to raise the price, it means that every
piece of meat sold to the American people will
command a higher price.

Ana so u goes vwin everyining else, we no
sonner become accustomed to what is termed a
"high level" in the price of a commodity, than
the "price fixers" warn us of an impending rise in
price. The fixed prices of commodities has robbed
the American housewife of one of her most cher
ished prerogatives, wnen she goes to market she
knows just how far her money will go and that
no amount of bargaining will increase its purchas

PORTLAND, ORLOON
The Directors or the bt. Helens School District
have emerged from a labrynth of instructions and
counter instructions witn nying colors, lhe po
sition of school director is an unenviable one at
the best, and the successful manner in which
these gentlemen have handled what seemed to be
a hopeless tangle, is proof positive that much
painstaking work has been done.
OUR PORTLAND LETTER
Portland, Of, Sept. 5 (Special)
Steps have been taken be Central
Oregon people to exploit one of
the greatest resources of that
region that has heretofore been
neglected. Thi3 i3 the usefnl
horse, To stmulate i ree lirg of
fine animals, the Central Oregon
Livestock Sale3 Association has
been formed, with headquarters
at Redmond, and hereafter sales
of horses will be held on the 3rd
Friday of each month at that
point.
The object is to establish a big
horse market, where breeders
will come in touch with buyers
and find fair prices for their
stock. The organization is not
for the benefit of Redmont alone
nor is it for the profit of associa
tion members, but it will help
every section and community of
Central Oregon, even the rancher
in the foothills.
The outside buyer, Sit is believ-
ea, will come to a sale where he
can pick from a bunch of 400 or
500 head, when if he has to travel
from ranch to ranch he is not
attractedr All classes of horses,
from bronchos to the finest rid
ing and draft horses, will be
offered. Central Oregon has ex
ploited its sheep, alfalfa, wool
and cattle, cut littla has bwn
said ayout its horses. Yet it
produces thousands of fine ani
mals; climate and all conditions
being favorable to the be.t de
velop ent of the horse, and the
new pian will probably add to the
importaoce of the industry.
Bigger prizes and better ex
hibits than ever before are ex
pected to bring crowds to the
annual apple show to be held in
Portland November 15-17. The
apple cJop of the state is excell
ent, and it is thought the various
fruit districts will make a splen
did showing. Big prizes will be
offered by the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern railroads
for the best district displays, a
purse of $250 being hung up by
eacn line, lhiswillbe open to
competition by any fruit district
of the Pasific Northwsst. Ore
gon communities will get in line
and make fine displays of the
fruit that is making the state
famous and a treat is in store for
those who like to see artistic dis
plays tf beautiful apples.
Irrigations of Otegon will meet
in Ontario September 28 and 29,
during the progress of the Mal
heur County Fair, The State
Irrigation Association has called
the meeting on those dates and
there promises to be a large
attendance from all parts of
Cregon. Governor West expects
