Schools Combine In
Holding Fine Picnic
On Sunday last the Hail Ridge and
Eight Mile Center school districts
celebrated the closing of the school
year by a combined picnic on Rock
creek above Hardman, on a beautiful
spot of flat meadow land backed by
tall trees. Some of the earlier ar
rivals found a little difficulty in lo
cating the selected spot, and Supt. H.
M. Walker, assisted by Mrs. George
Eurnside, scoured the vicinity, finally
locating the missing ones parked un
der a tree waiting for the picnic to
arrive and guided them into the
right path.
The main event of the morning was
a baseball game in which the New
York Giants, headed by Ray Drake,
put it all over the White Sox, led by
Glenn Young, the score being 18 to 8.
The only setback during the game
was when acting-catcher. Burton
Burnside, caught a foul square on the
end of his nose and had to lay off for
repairs.
A bountiful picnic dinner followed
the game. The exhausted players
left few remnants for the belated
visitors from Idea and Gooseberry
who, starting at 9 a. m. and, after
having cured five blowouts on the
way, finally reached the grounds at
1:30 p. m.
After dinner Martin Lovgren and
Fred Akers easily won the three-
legged race from their opponents and
gratefully received their well-won re
ward an all-day sucker each. In the
fat man's race Oscar Keithley held
Kay Drake down to a tie but did not
get to enjoy his prize as a little
woman about half his size appropriat
ed it and caused it to disappear in
the winkling of an eye while he made
desperate efforts to regain it.
Teachers from Hail Ridge, Idea,
Rood Canyon and Eight Mile each
made a gallant effort to outdo the
others but had to run the race twice
owing to one of the contestants hav
ing been tripped in the start. The
second trial ended in a tie between
Rood Canyon and Eight Mile Center.
A hard fought battle between two
teams of horseshoe players resulted
in Hail Ridge, represented by Ray
Drake and Glenn Young, giving the
Jtightmilers, Oscar Keithley and Law
rence Redding, the worst beating of
their lives. The champion lady
horseshoe player of Hardman, Mary
McDaniel and Hattie Bleakman,
dropped in on the picnic long enough
to clean up a game. Mrs. Geo. Burn
side and Mrs. Ray Drake were the
losers.
The children filled the day with
games, cliff climbing, and tree riding,
to say nothing of falling into the
water.
On the homeward way several cars
stopped at the ice caves and unsuc
cessfully tried to solve its mysteries.
Moral If you want to have the
time of your lives, stage a picnic at
Rock Creek. Communicated.

stopped the fight in the-third round.
Fred Roberts and "Unc" McMillan
put up a snappy semi-final go until
the match was forfeited by Roberts
through his second throwing a towel
in the ring when he became excited
and wanted to call the referee's at
tention to what he thought was a foul
by McMillan. A good bunch of pre
liminaries were all fought to a draw.

Alfred E. Clark
of Portland
Candidate for the Republican nom
ination for United State Senator.
Read a few of many unsolicited press
comments
THE PORTLAND DAILY NEWS,
speaking of the Senatorial candidates,
said:
"If we were entirely businesslike
in the conduct of our public affairs,
intent only upon getting the best man
available for the money, there is no
doubt whom we would employ.
"We would employ a man of proved
achievement, proved honesty, proved
fearlessness and trustworthiness. We
would employ a big man.
"And that man is Alfred E. Clark
of Portland."
THE TOLEDO LEADER: "Mr.
Clark is a man who has had a world
of experience, has the age, the dig"
t.ity and the ability to represent the
people of this great state in the na
tional law making body as they should
be represented."
Eastern Clackamas News: "There
ure few men in the state who are as
well qualified for Senator as Mr.
Clark."
. THE CONDON TIMES: His (Mr.
Clark's) knowledge of public affairs,
his prominence as a lawyer and his
reputation as a speaker will prove
valuable assets should the people de
hire to send him to Washington.
