RAY WELLS DROWNED
E. B. and Mrs. Dale received a tele-
gram Sunday that Ray \\ ells was
drowned some place near Marshfield.
No particulars arc known at this writ­
ing. Mr. Wells was a young ma 1
known by most Vernonia people. ■-
this was his home, Mrs. Dale being
his mother. The sudden news was
indeed sad. and the sympathy of the
townspeople is extended.

A year ago Vernonia had her first
celebration over the arrival of a rail-
road. One year ago Vernonia was re­
born. A year ago the following clip­
ping from St. Helens appeared in the
Portland papers:
“ST. HELENS, Or., Sept. 9.—(Spe­
cial.)—When the St. Helens chamber
of commerce special pulled out oi the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle depot at
7:30 o’clock this morning there were
135 passengers aboard bound for Ver­
nonia to take part in the celebration
of the coming of the railroad to the
Nehalem valley metropolis.
The
change was handled by J. R. Gilby,
local agent. J. Mooney, a veteran
conductor, was in charge and F. Stutz
was engineer. Stops were made at
Warren and Scappoose to pick up
passengers from these points.
“Among the most interested pas­
sengers was Judson Weed, county
commissioner. The commissioner
tied near Vernonia in 1876 and
sides on the place where he first
tied. His train trip today was
first time he ever went to the valley
by train, a marked contrast with the
tri^s of 40 years ago, when trail and
pack horse was the means of trans­
portation. Mr. Weed was one of
those who built the St. Helens-Pitts-
bttrg road.
“There were other early settlers on
I the train, anxious to see what Ver­
nonia would look like with a real
train in town. The St. Helens spe­
cial was the first passenger train to
enter Vernonia, the Portland special
