FIGHT WINNERS
GO TO ENTERPRISE
Bull Prairie and Frog Heawn Boy
Appear Here in Elimination
Contest; Winners Named.
LEXINGTON ii!iiiiiwiiiiiiiiinmmminmiimnm
Last Saturday night the boxing
teams representing Camps Bull
Prairie and Frog Heaven engaged
in a match at Heppner. The win
ners of the different bouts are
scheduled to meet the Camp Im
naha boxers at Enterprise Satur
day night, in a further elimination
contest to pick the champions of
the Baker district among C. C. C.
camps.
Frog Heaven placed three, and
Bull Prairie placed two men on the
team to go to Enterprise as a result
of Saturday's fights. Semi-final
and final matches will be staged in
Baker September 16 and 17. While
the fights Saturday were staged un
der the auspices of the Heppner
Boxing commission, the matches
were made entirely by the camps.
The Frog Heaven men making
the team were George Woodruff,
125 pounds; Kid Ward, middle
weight, and Vernon Waterhouse,
lightweight Bull Prairie placed
Eric Pilling, 140-pounder, and A)
'Tamarack" Shastik, heavyweight
The first bout of the evening
brought together George Woodruff
and Pewee O'Bryan in a three
round exhibition contest The fight
had already been forfeited to the
Frog Heaven battler as Bull Prai
rie did not have a 125-pound repre
sentative. The second contest, also for three
rounds, terminated in a foul. Al
ter being outboxed in the first two
rounds, Bill Heidinger fouled Red
Pilling, after 1 minute and 45 sec
onds had passed in the third round.
Filling's left jab snapped Heidin
ger's head back continuously, so
that the Frog Heaven boy closed
in with a rush and was unable to
keep several blows from going foul.
Kid Ward and Ted Kolp met in
the third bout, a four-rounder.
Ward, who weighed 153 pounds, had
a three-pound advantage over his
lanky opponent In the first round
both battlers opened up with ter
rific blows and the crowd was quick
to sense that a knockout was inv
minent The southpaw Ward late
in the second round connected with
a left hook to the jaw and sent
Kolp to the canvas. At the count
of nine the gritty Bull Prairie boy
arose and walked into Ward to con
tinue slugging. Before either boxer
could land a blow, the gong rang
ending the round.
After forty seconds of fighting in
the third round, Referee Luke Bib
by stopped the fight, and Ward was
declared the winner on a technical
knockout
Bill Perillo, Bull Prairie boxer,
scored a quick knockout over Tom
Negus in the first round of their
go. Negus danced around the
husky Perillo, who just turned
around in one spot awaiting his
opportunity. After a few exchanges
Perillo suddenly stepped in and
landed a haymaker right, which
ended the fight
The final bout, also an exhibition
match, was declared no contest be
cause of the 17-pound advantage
Al "Tamarack" Shastik had over
Vernon Waterhouse. Shastik's su
perior strength was too much and
once more Referee Bibby stoppeo
the fleht Shastik and Waterhouse
put on a comedy act in the first
round and drew many laugns.
The judges were Clarence Bau-
man, George Mabee and (ray An
derson.

"A More Excellent Way"
"And yet show I unto you a more
excellent way." I Cor., 12-31.
Paul has just finished reciting
some excellent things and some ex
cellent ways to do them, to a peo
ple confused by dissention and ar
gument over a great many incon
sequential matters; and concludes
with the words above quoted.
"And yet show I unto you a more
excellent way." And that way was
the way of Christian love; Chris
tian life; Christian bravery; Chris
tion fortitude; Christian kindness;
but, first and last, Christian love.
All the world is better for every
one who is living at his or her best
And we may give to the world of
our day and generation the su
preme gift of a life lived at its
ultimate BEST, through the grace
of God, a Christian life.
I may not be much; but I will be
my best!
I cannot do much; but I will do
my best!
I will pray daily to live my life
at Its best; to live above petty
meanness and bickerings. Owen
Wister in his book, "The Virginian"
made his hero to say: "A middlin'
doctor is a poor thing; and a mid
dlin lawyer is a poor thing; but
save me from a middlin' man of
God."
And 'middlin' doctors" and "mid
dlin' lawyers" can be full-portion
men and women in their chosen
professions, thru and by this
"MORE EXCELLENT WAY" of
Christian living. Above all, every
last human being can be outstand
ing in one thing, if in nothing else,
in Christian living. Standing out
for honesty and decency and purity
of life in the midst of the prevail
ing present general untoward
phases of life.
Yes, there is a far more excellent
way of life than so many of us
seam to have chosen for ourselves,
the MORE EXCELLENT WAY OF
CmSTIANITY; following in the
way of the Man of Galilee. Paul
said: try all the best ways the
world knows anything about for
doing the best things, and "Yet I
unto you show a more excellent
way." The way of Christian love!

(Editor's Note This Is the first
of a series of articles dealing with
the composition and achievements
of the various crews at Camp Bull
Prairie.)
In an Interview with Charles Da
vis, newly Instituted superintendent
at Camp Bull Prairie, your corres
pondent acquired the following in
formation.
As practically all the work
around the immediate vicinity of
the camp has been completed, the
camp officials deemed it not only
more convenient, but actually more
economical, to divide the roster in
to different groups with the estab
lishment of "spike" camps at van
tage points.
At this writing three such camps
have already been set up and all
are reported as operating success
fully.
The first of these camps, known
as "Happy Jack," consisting of
steel workers under Max Buschke
and the slashing crew under Bill
Plughoff, has been going for the
last two weeks.
This week, the road crew under
Charles Hiatt is scheduled to join
the aforementioned crews at Hap
py Jack.
The surveyors under Henry C.
Heine, Jr., left Camp Bull Prairie
last Monday and pitched camp at
Notch spring, 18 miles away. This
particular crew is composed of Mr.
Heine, ten surveyors and one driver.
A second road crew under the di
rection of Mr. Steinmeier, is also
reported to have established a camp
at Wall creek.
The carpenter crew under Mr.
Bailey is now working at Opal
Butte. It is indeed a pleasure to
see these boys do their assigned
tasks.
The number of C. C. C. men
working in Individual camps at this
moment total close to 100. Within
a comparatively short time the
number will be considerably in
creased.
As for their accomplishments, my
readers, allow me to discuss the
camp at Happy Jack in detail. The
steel workers, it seems, have con
structed a 99-ft, 8-inch steel tower.
It has a 22-foot base. However,
what particularly impressed me was
the manner in which it was put up
and the amount of time it took.
Hundreds of pieces of steel were
used in the construction of the
tower, the second of its kind in
the state. And, believe it or not,
it took only 19 days to erect It.
Those responsible for this include
Pete Albert!, Henry Fraleigh, Tony
"Ironsides" Pitelli, Sol Cassataro,
Will and Phil Moskowitz, Ray Ben
dulsky, Joe Trub, Victor Palmero,
Joe Hotaro and Joe Noura. The
straw boss, V. L. Lowden, and su
pervisor, Max Buschke, also de
serve some orchids for their work.
The road to the camp at Happy
Jack is a good one. And the view
from the glass-enclosed caboose Is
better still. From here on a clear
day can be seen Mts. Hood, Adams
and Jefferson. Once again all vis
itors are cordially Invited.
At Opal Butte Mr. Bailey and
his carpenter crew of 18 have been
working steadily since Tuesday,
Aug. 22. Their first project, a new
ranger station, has been started.
This will be the ranger headquar
ters for the summer. Besides this,
a spring is being developed into a
small reservoir.
There certainly is a lot of work
to be done here," says Carmine
Carbone. Carmine likes It so much
that he wishes to reenlist for an
other six months.
Figures Show Fair 'Rent'
To be Paid Wheat Farmer
With the amount of wheat acre
age reduction definitely set at 15
per cent by the Wheat Adustjment
administration, Oregon will have
156,900 acres to be taken out of
wheat production this next year,
if every wheat grower In the state
signs up under the adjustment plan.
Of course it Is not expected that
everyone of the 17,090 wheat grow
ers In the state will find it advan
tageous to sign up to cooperate In
this national movement to restore
the purchasing power of wheat al
though early indications through
out the Columbia Basin show that
more than 90 per cent of the wheat
growers there are availing them
selves of this opportunity. Organi
zation work it progressing rapidly
throughout the state in order that
some two million dollars out of a
total of approximately three and a
quarter million may be paid this
September, according to officials of
the Oregon State College Extension
service, which is in charge of the
educational and' organization cam
paign. By taking average yields of the
various counties, the extension ser
vice men find that farmers will, In
effect, be paid an average of $20 an
acre for the land left out of wheat
production. This amount varies, of
course with the county, ranging
from $11.44 to as high as $32.78. Of
course, these benefit payments are
not made directly on an acre basis,
but rather at the rate of 28 cents a
bushel for the allotment bushels as
signed each grower, but now that
the average reduction has been def
initely set at 15 per cent, It is a
simple matter for each grower to
figure out his possible benefit pay
ments on the basis of acreage to
be left out of wheat
Actual benefits, however, will
doubtless be considerably greater
than this, owing to the provision
which requires acreage reduction
for only two out of the three years
which the contract covers. The
total benefit payments for the fol
lowing two years will vary accord
ing to the market price of wheat.
