BOSNI A II I I i \sc \D1. LOCKS Vol. VI, Number Ml 1 I'NOM Ml COI NT1 TEACHERS INSPEC T 1> VM » Sixty Multnomah County teach ers spent a most enjoyable after noon and evening at Bonneville last Saturday, April 22. Captain Rob ert Des Islets gave a short talk and then took the enthusiastic group over some of the most interesting parts of the dam. The Bonneville P.-T. A., with Mrs. Larry Fisher as chairman, prepared a baked ham dinner. The evening was spent dancing, playing volley ball and doing stunts. The teachers highly complimented the hospitality of the Bonneville folks and wish to come again next year. The trip was sponsored by the Multnomah Coun ty Primary Teachers’ Association. High Scores Made by Marksmen ♦ In a practice match with the Fart Lawton. Wash., rifle team. Bonne ville was bested by seven small points. This is considered some thing of a feather in the home team's cap. as Fort Lawton has taken practically every scalp in that part of the country. A nice bunch of boys and their stay was enjoyed by both hosts and visitors. The Bonneville team captured second place in the Columbia-Wil lamette Rifle League for the sea son. Very good progress for the length of time they have been .shooting, and their competition in 1 "B " team class included teams who had been shooting for several | years. McCormick, who has been doing some excellent shooting, contribu- , ted well to the success of the team. He was handsomely rewarded for , being high individual scorer for the ‘ season bv receiving two beautiful medals. We understand D i c k Welch also captured a medal for himself. Several practice matches have been shot lately, following comple tion of the league schedule. Hood ¡River was defeated bv 114 points, which, while quite a large margin, was not too much considering the fact that Hood River is just get ting started. The Dalles, a 10-year old team, was beaten by 22 points. Tentative arrangements h u v e been made for a practice match each Friday evening with the Gresham team, who happen to be World Champions in " A ” team class! Their last international match netted them a nifty score of 9H7 out of a possible 1000 points! Guy Jones of the Gresham team will coach the Bonneville boys, for which they are highly appreciative. Mr. Jones is the world’s champion with small bore rifle on an indoor range. G IRLS’ GROUP SEEKS FUNDS The Camp Fire Girls of Cascade Locks are anxious to earn money to put in their camp fund for the coming summer.

Since then the run has dropped o ff slightly. The biggest early spring run in years is the prediction of the fish experts, which in itself is a heart ening statement, since this is the spring run of 1935 coming back at the end of its four-year cycle. The spring of 1935 was the first year in the construction of the dam that the channel was blocked. The fish movement from the first of the month till Tuesday night amounted to 44,948 fish climbing the ladders. BUYS LEBANON BUSINESS Former Locks residents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Moran and daughter, Sharon, were Cascade Locks visit ors Sunday. Mr. Moran had just completed the purchase of an agency for the Western Auto Sup ply Company in Lebanon. He had not made up his mind as yet as to whether he would operate the busi ness or have someone else look after it. T U L IP S IN FI 1.1. BLOOM There are between 2,000 and 3,000 tulips in full bloom at the parsonage gardens in Cascade Locks and Cus ade Locks people would do well to visit there before the display is depleted by the free bouquets which are being given away next Sunday morning. The parsonage rock garden is also beautiful just now. Visitors are welcome.
