Third Annual Fair at Yatidton on tlie
2M day of September and there will lie
something doing al! the time at this
event, weich has bacotne very popular
on nccoiin of the success of the ast two
fain, and as it is the only thing of the
kind In this end of the county everytody
should make it a point to take it in, and
to exhibit something that will take one
of the blue ribbons. From this fair there
will probably grow a big county fair

In and that will be in charge of the
county court. Toe Yankton Grange

movement in tliix county.

LABOR DAY AT RAINIER
I. bor Day was to have been a big day
in R tinier and the proxperom little
Columbia County town was the Mecca
for people all along the line from Port
land to Astoria. The Anderson-Edward
fight for the Championship of the North
west was to take place, aud everyone
knew that it would be a bloody good
batile.
They came on every train despite the
fact that Sheriff Thompson had an
nounced that he would not allow the
fikrht to go, and there was a couple of
I oat loads on hatid from Vancouver.
The Sheriff had been at Salem, and did
not get into Portland nntil eight o'clock
on Labor Day morning, which was ton
late for him to catch the first tiain to
Rainier, so he telephoned to Deputy
Lake, instructing him to go down and
see that there was no fight. Lake caught
the Lurline and it was a mighty sad
crowd that be met down below. The
fans in Portland were telephoned, but
the boats bad already left Vancouver,
and it was too late to stop them, so tbey
made the trip for the pleasure of the
ride.
From the time that the Deputy Slier
iff arrived in Rainier he was surrounded
bv an anxious crowd that tried to per
suade him that prize fights were just tbe
thing for tbe advancement of the com
munity prosperity, and when onj per
son was through talking another com
menced. Edwards did not show np at
all, na he was probably stopped by
friends in Portland, and when Mr.
Thompson arrived on the three o'clock
train all that tbe promoters wanted was
to have a couple of six round boxing
bouts, which he allowed to be put on, as
there is nothing in violation of tbe
law in a boxing match.
The first one was between Fred And
erson and Chuck O'Connell, and was
greatly enjoyed as young Anderson
showed a lot of class and gave O'Connell,
who is an old war bone that could eat
him np in a fight, all that be could
haudle in a boxing match. Tbe second
go was between BuJ Anderson, light
weight champion of the Northwest and
Spike Morrissey, of Boston. Compared
with Vancouver, where Anderson hails
from, Boston must lie a poor town for
scrapper, for M irrissey, though he has
met some of the good ones at different
times, did not tunse any showing at ail
with Anderson, who is one of the
fastest it has ever been our pleasure to
see. In anticipation of a bard go with
Edwards' he was trained down and in
the pink of condition, and tbe things
he could have done to Morrissey if the
Sheriff had not been at the ringside are
better imagined than told.
Peter Buzukos and Hug Copple were
scheduled to wrestle at tbe K. P. Hall
in the evening, but the people of Rai
Dier did not seem to care for tbe wrestl
ing game, and there was not sufficient
crowd to make it worth their while for
the grapplers to go on.

Jack IV pa in came up from Gobi this
week to attend the session of county
Court. . Mr. ihipaln is helping Road Sup
ervisor Anliker in the crushing of rock
for the lioble road and will be down the
river with thectuther about three more
weeks. All told, there will be some
2000 yards of rock Crushed before the
machine is moved back to this place,
most of which goes on the Shllo Basin
road. The place where the machine is
woikitig at Goble is convenient aud the
amount of lock crushed has been up to
the average, and one day last week 107
yards was put throug t in eight hours,
which is a record run Mr. Dspalu has
been objecting to the court to the pro
position of this district keeping up the
repairs on the crusher. It is moved
around to different places, and while if
it breaks down while in actual operation
in a place that district must repair it,
still an example of the Injustice to this
district is to be fuliud iu the trip to
Goble. A short time before going
down a new set of eccentrics was pur
chased for the crusher for 73, and by
the time the run at Goble is completed
thete eccentrics will have to be replaced.
It seems as though it would be a good
idea tor tbe up keep of the tools, which
were purchased by the general fund, to
come out of the same fund.
aThe new coasting steamer of the Mc
Cormick Line will be lauuehed to day
and will soon be making regular trips
between St. Helens and San Francisco.
The new boat will be called the Wil
lamette, and will carry nearly a million
feet of lumber and about sixty passen
gers. She will make her first trip about
the first of December.
