chartered the gas boat Argosy and

proceeded to enjoy themselves to
the greatest possible extent. Danc

by friends from St. Helens with

The Parker milt was the scene
of a social affair Fridav cveiiimr
when about forty of the Christian
Endcnvorcrs and their friends went
out in nutos, carriages and - a-foot
with well filled baskets for an even
ing lunch and picnic. 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.

it is nevertheless important, nut!

A sensational base ball game be
tween the ladies and gentlemen fol
lowed. 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

The Willamette Four, ably as

could not come, and the excuses
made by Frickers for both were
really pathetic.

dorsement of the project. He sig

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

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;

the products come. Prosperous con

The loss by the forest fires of
some of the large saw mills near the

to the owners and others who in

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.
