The St. Johns Athletic associa
tion is making a great reputation
for itself in the way of securing
gilt edged attractions for St. Johns
That their efforts arc being appre
ciated was fully evidenced by the
unusually large attendance at the
glove contests in the rink last' Fri
day night. The sporting clement
of Portland has become interested
iu the athletic doings in this city,
and turned out in flue style, many
of them coming down in their
autos. The chief event of the even
ing was the ten-round bout between
Bud Anderson of Vancouver and
Bobby Evans of Portland. There
has been a strong rivalry existing
between these lads, and their meet
ing was looked forward to with a
great deal of interest. Anderson,
however, demonstrated to the satis
faction of all that he was by far the
better man. lie had Evans on the
defensive from the start to the fin
ish. Evans' peculiar blocking
method of keeping his face covered
with his gloves availed him but lit
tle. . Time nud again Anderson
bored through his defense, and in
the ninth round got to hU man
with n blow that put Evans out of
the running Evans' IrieivN wcr
disappointed with the showing he
made. But once did he laud a
blow and it only had the effect of
making Anderson come back harder
than ever. Many believed that
Evans was only stalling iu order to
get Anderson's wind, but it was
proved that Bobby had no show
whatever. He depended upon get
ting in a lick that would settle the
contest, but somehow he never hud
the opportunity of delivering it.
No decision was given, and none
was necessary. Evans was iu no
condition to continue the fight in
the last round. Anderson proved
himself to be n comer of no mean
ability, and is now iu a position to
take a step higher up iu the pugil
istic ' world. Eddie Couroy chal
lenged the winner to a ten-round
bout, which will likely be pulled off
here the latter part of next mouth.
The first four-round preliminary
between Joe Lynch and Fred Miller
causal a continual roar. Both went
at it hammer and tongs at the
sound of the gong. They kept
plugging at one another until both
were ready to drop with weakness,
nud neither could strike hard
enough to hurt the other. When
it was seen that Miller was ready
to fall nt any time, his second threw
up the sponge amid roars of laugh
ter from the delighted audience.
Alex Grant and Jack Perry gave
a good exhibition for a round and
11 half. Perry, who is a colored
lad, then gave Graut a blow on the
t-idi of thi head th it floored him
uud the fight was off This bout
was rather classy, and both men
gave a good account of themselves
untirthe lucky blow was struck.
Fred Abernathy was scheduled
for a six-round contest with Kid
Gillen, but it only required a round
and a half for Fred to demonstrate
that his opponent was not iu his
class. Gillen proved to be a "frost."
He had a habit of falling to the
floor without being struck, being

au opponent worthy of his prowess
in St. Johns. Fred is a splendid
boxer and a fighter of high class,
and many of the sports ure anxious
that a good man be found to pit
against him the next time he ap
pears in St. Johns.
Jack Day refereed the bouts in
his usual good style, and everything
passed off in au orderly and satis
fying manner. All were greatly
pleased with the entertainment af
forded and promised to be present
with their friends the next time an
exhibition is pulled off in th's city,
and the management was heartily
congratulated upon the success
with which it is deservedly meet

r. 1 4 1 r w 1 rA I 4 f nl I . -1 F K HITM ITr.,1
Hhiugs were expected in the devel
opmcut of that part of the Penin
sula by reason of the industries
aside from their own that they
would be instrumental iu locating
there. These expectations have
been fully realized but few people
iu this city know the vast amount
of money that has already been in
vested in the property originally
purchased by them. In order that
the people may know what has
been done iu that locality, is being
done and will be done, The Daily
Abstract has prepared a list of the
industries now under operation
there and those being constructed.
Already $4,500,000 has been ex
pended by the new industries now
under way there and within the
near future to be started. Mr.
George Hcusncr, of the Kenwood
Land Company, who hits been
mainly instrumental in bringing
about this immense development of
the Peninsula, estimates that au
additional like amount will be ex
pended lv other n ;w i idtistrics
which he is now seeking to locate
0.1 the Swift tract.
To begin with, the Swif people,
who operate here under the name
of the Union Meat Company, have
expended alone $1,500,000 in erect
ing their immense plant, which con
sists of n six-story brick abattoir
a four-story brick wool pullcry
a two-story brick engine nousc.
a stock exchange, stock pens
docks nud numerous a u x i I i a r
buildings. They are at present cm
Ploying about aoo hands and when
ever sufficient hogs and cattle cat
be secured to run their plant to it'
ll) II capacity, it will give employ
ment to 700 men.
The next iu point of importance
is the Monarch Lumber Company,
situated just west of the packing
plant on the banks of the Oregon
Slough This plant has the larg
est capacity of any lumber mill in
the world and is capable of turning
nut 360,000 feet of lumber each to-
hour day. They arc at present em
ploying 360 men iu their plant,
which occupies a 27-acre site and
represents au investment of ap
proximately f 1,000,000.
The next is the Davis Safe &
Lock Company, with an eight-acre
tract just north of the Columbia
Boulevard nud west of the trestle
running to the Swift plant. This
plant has a main building 100x450
feet in size and two storhs high, of
brick construction, and in about 60
days will be employing 150 men.
The cost of this plant, which is the
only one of its kind west of the
Mississippi River, was $175,000.
Directly to the west of this plant
are the works of the Pacific Tank
Company, with two immense and
several smaller buildings aggre
gating an outlay of $350,000 and
employing 340 hands. These works
moved here from Ulympla, wash.,
shortly after the destruction of their
plant there by fire, and they arc
only now iu good running order.
The products ot tins company are
shipped to all of the country west
of the Mississippi River.
Across the trestle from the Davis
Safe & Lock Company are the
works of the Nicolai Door Manu
facturing Company, Their main
factory building is 150x300 in di
mensions and two stories high, sup
plemented by dry kilns and numer
ous lumber sheds. Their plant is
nearly ready for operation, has cost
$75,000 and will employ about 70
hands to start with, and will ship
their products all over the United
States.
The Ajax Auto Traction Com
pany is just completing a building
180x230 feet in dimensions on its
nine-acre tract just east of the tres
tle and north of Columbia Boule
vard at a cost of $8o,ooo. The
building is of frame construction
with a concrete floor, the sides and
ends being practically all glass.
This plant will be ready for opera
tion within 20 days and will manu
facture traction engines, auto
trucks and all kinds of gas engines
for motor boats aud other purposes.
Preparations to erect another build
ing which will be a duplicate of
their present buildiug, are now
under way. At the start about
100 men will be employed.
To the west of the trestle and
adjoining the Nicolai Door Com
pany's plant, the Durable Roofing
Manufacturing Company has just
commenced the erection of a build
ing wbicn will be 300 feet square
and cost about $40,000, with equip
ment for tie manufacture of asphalt
felt roofing and building paper.
Dr. J. R. Wetherbee is president of
this company and states that it will,
upon completion, give employment
to 40 men.
East of the trestle, the J. S. Beall
Manufacturing Company will have

men will be employed here upon
completion of the plant.
The Holmes Milling Company
has secured a 1 acre tract south
of the Columbia Boulevard, on
wtticb they will at once erect a feed
and chop mill for supplying the
Peninsula territory and the stock-

More Apples Needed
Prrif1etit Kltlntt'a address at the
National Apple show in Spokane is
worthy of perusal and consideration
lur ilmiiMndH of n6nlc who have
tracts of laud adapted to apple
raising, or who are likely to ac
quire such tracts. He asserted
that the uppre was in the class of
necessaries rather than of luxuries,
and was valuable as a food.
It is so, cooked, of course, but
It In so even raw. aud it is ill IIUIUV

tidote to or preventive of the appe

illlott further stated that a goou
ipple compares favorably with
il iii the amount of nutritive
material it contains, aud excels beef
over three times iu the amount of
energy that equal portions of each
provide.
There seems to be no danger of
lif nvpr nrmluctinti of armies. Pro
duction in fact has greatly declined
iu recent years, while the demand
has increased. Mr. Elliott stated
that in 1895, when the United
States had about 75,000,000 people,
they produced 60,453,000 barrels of
apples, but in 1909 the 90,000.000
Americans raised only 33,735,000
barrels of apples,

The following communication in
Saturday's Portland Journal by an
irate housewife iu Mt. Scott, which
was annexed to Portland several
years ago, is evidence enough that
St. Johns folks have really no
"kick" along water lines. The
Mt. Scott people would be only too
glad to pay almost any price for
water, if they could get it:
To the Editor of The Journal: I
would like to ask through the col
umns of your paper, how much
longer the residents of the Mount
Scott district arc going to be fleeced
by the Woodmcrc Water company.
Is the company so thoroughly in
trenched in the council nud courts
that there is no lawful way of mak
ing them give value for money re
ceived ? The government regulates
the measure and weight of food and
fuel and the grocer and fuel dealer
are dealt with strenuously when
caught defrauding.
litis company is defrauding
thousands of ieople daily nud we
have no way of preventing it.
All summer the water was scarce
and the Bull Run pipe laid at great
expense was idle. For the past
three months for weeks nt 11 time
the force was so low wc had to
carry our water from outside fau
cets, and toilets had to be flushed
whenever we could get enough
water ou hand. A bath was a
luxury. For n couple of weeks out
of every mouth wc are practically
without water half of the time. It
is shut off without warning at any
moment aud many a time we have
gone without all day.
I offered to nav for value re
ceived, but was toid the only re
ductions made were iu water not
cash.
The law-abidiue citizens of this
district have been ou the verge of
mob violence by their inability to
get justice iu this question.
The solution of the problem looks
plain to ordinary folks nud if
woman suffrage had carried this
year we would have solved the
problem.
First attend to our councilman,
aud if he is too busy put n new one
in his place. This district needs a
representative who lives out here.
Let the city lav mains aud connect
with the Bull Run pipe. If they
would lay them ou the streets run
ning north nud south, the property
owners on cross streets could save
enough iu water rent to lay pipes
to connect ou the cross streets very
easily. Let Mr. Brown have his
plant nud pipes. They arc of no
value to the city nud the wnter is
not fit for consumption.
Please let the people take ncttou
at once as wc have been bunkoed
long enough.

Killed Black Bear
Six Portland hunters bagged a
big black bear iu the foothills a few
miles back of the Liiiuton rock
quarry yesterday, nnd returned to

with their success. The party con
sisted of Duputy District Attorney
Heiinessy, James Anderson, a for
mer member of the Portland police
force, Thomas I. Richards, Arthur
Cavill, Hd Chandler and ld White.
Anderson was informed Saturday
that the bear had -been seen back of
the quarry, and he immediately or
ganlzed the party. Taking a pack
of dogs with them, they scared up
Mr, Bruin about 10 o clock yester
day morning. Two well-directed
shots by Richards and Anderson
killed the bear, which will weigh
close to 450 ouuds. Leaving two
of their number to camp near the
carcass, which was strung to the
limbs of a tree, the other hunters
returned to Portland with the news
aud will leave for the scene with a
Wagon this morning to bring iu the
specimen of their prowess.
Duck hunters, who visited the
nearby shooting preserves yesterday
and who returned last night, report
ed only fair success, as the birds
were flying too high to be brought
down. The heavy wind is respons

Street contractors in St. Johns
will not receive the generous treat
ment they now receive from the
city fathers after annexation takes
place. Any time now that a con
tractor has a little hard luck iu the
way of securing material or bad
weather nppcars, an extension of
time ou his contract is ever cheer
fully granted, and even a longer
period than is asked for is often
allowed, This is not so iu Port
laud, Contractors are fined there
for each day needed to complete
their contract after the limit has
expired. But then there will be so
little street work done in St. Johns
that this feature will "cut but little
ice."
