Bachelors txcursion me Wild West A Social Affair Clever Boxing Monday was Labor Day, and It was ntso Bachelors' Day. To gether with their friends and sweet henrts to the number of 38 they chartered the gas boat Argosy and hied themselves to Sauvie's Island, otic of the most delightful picnic grounds imaginable. After a suc cessful landing had been made, all proceeded to enjoy themselves to the greatest possible extent. Danc ing was one of the first things in dulged in, music being furnished by friends from St. Helens with accordcous, and "tripping the light fantastic toe," the bachelors ana "best girls" made merry. A bottn tiful sunnly of the good things of this life were on huud, and after Considerable interest has been aroused iu this vicinity through the announced appearance of Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Pawnee Bill's Fur East at Portland, Sept. 19 and 20.

The grounds were beautifully decorated with small firs, vlnlng maples nnd ferns where a long table was spread with a bountiful supply of good things. . After supper a large bonfire was built where all gathered around to eat watermelon and play games after which they returned to their homes having had a most enjoyable rune and a desire to often meet on similar occasions.

While the office of Committeeman is rather diminutive, it is nevertheless important, nut! we predict that the vote Charley receives will be something to be proud of. A man of integrity, and possessed of hosts of friends, there is no ret vm why he should not be elected to the office to which he aspires, C. C, Chapman, promotion man ager of the Commercial Club, has been touring Wrsteru Oregon urg ing the land owners to cut up their tracts into such holdings as will permit the men of average means to acquire a home when he comes to the state.

Oregon fruit has scored another triumph, Hood River fruit growers having just made what is believed to be the biggest sale of fancy ap ples on record.

Georgia Pcrriuc essayed to do the twirling for the "weaker sex, and she had 32 strikeouts iu the nine Innings, and almost scared several of the bachelors to death with the cannon ball bpeed she placed on the ball. Sarah Cowles was the carcher and she showed up in splendid form, She threw 10 batsmen out while endeavoring to steal bases. The other ladies put up a splendid game, not an error being charged up against them. And it is said the bewildered scorer kept strict tab. II. Fassett and M. L. Davis was the battery for the gents, and outside of 22 home runs being made off of Fassett, to say nothing of triplets, two base hits and singles, he acquitted him self well. The score was finally tie clared to be 9 to 7, iu favor of the fair ones. As many of the participants were almost famished at this time, a grand rush was made for the com issary. Everything that was left from lunch was taken care of, and as a side issue potatoes were roasted (or burned) ou a large stump that had been sacrificed for the purpose. Brother btubbs and Uncle Mitnu were the official photographers, and the development of several of the films are looked forward to by a few of the plcknickcrs with a great deal of apprehension and anxiety. The Willamette Four, ably as sisted by Bro. Fidges, were the songsters, and the birds in the trees were outclassed for once. Patches and Frickers were the only ones absent. Bachelor maid Patches could not come, and the excuses made by Frickers for both were really pathetic. Strong support for the North west movement to open the Colum bia River to navigation from the sen far into British Columbia given by Premier Wilfred Laurier himself. Recently he met dclcua tions from Oregon and Washington tit n conference held at Nelson, B C. and gave his unqualified en dorsement of the project. He sig nified his willingness to carry for ward the work on his side of the boundary line, or, if any way can be found, he will join with the United States iu accomplishing the work as a whole. He has given orders for surveying the river on the Canadian side preparatory to starting work. Reflecting the prevailing pros perity throughout the Pacific Northwest, Portland has lust passed through tue most successful August in its history, a month elsewhere accepted as oue of midsummer dull uess, when business of all kinds is in the doldrums. Not by any small percentage has Portland out distanced former records, but by t wide margin. All the wealth comes from the soil, rivers, mines aud forests of the tributary country; Portland Is merely the mart where the products come. Prosperous con dltions here testify to the well filled purse of the producer In the nearby territory, The loss by the forest fires of some of the large saw mills near the timber belt ought to be a warning to the owners and others who in tend building saw mills in the fu uire as 10 ine great risk they run n locating their mills in such a region. There are numerous sites on the Peninsula, especially so at St. Johns, adapted to the use of saw mills and other industries and the danger from forest fires is elimi nated. u. k. iiuicinnson and his son aud family of Bancroft, Wis., who bave been spending the summer in St. Johns, left Thursday morning via Billingham, Wash., for their home.

Bobby made a good show ing against his 'c heavier op ponent, but it was t.i.dcut that had the bout went much louccr the Polander would have bested Evans. The bout was fast and some clever boxing eusued. No decision was rendered, but had one been given it wouiu nave been a draw.

For the first three rounds the bout was as clever an exhibition of boxing as one would care to see.
