It seems that each of the Vernoria girls have their special friends who declare in no mild terms t'nat their candidate is going to win. Each of at least four now have an equal chance and each is determined tu win. They are all Vernonia ladies, r.» matter where they formerly resided and the best hustler wdl win the 1 ; prize. There a-e many days yet to work and a little time may bring marvelous changes in tve total vote count. One logging camp, almost to a man, has declared for one co,.di date and has determined that that on ewill win. Other part.«., an ! close friends of another lady who is in the race tell us that she win-i. It is net the aim to have .a 'popular contest or a “beauty” conte.it or any thing of the kind; rather a “saies- manship” contest, and the candi dates are proving their ability along this line. At this writing we cannot make a guess, the only thing we know is that Miss Thelma Olsen, Miss. Winifred Mecklen, Mrs. E. E. Graham and Mrs. Alice Burch are ahead. They may not be ahead next week, as a new candidate could spring up, not that it is looked fo-, however, and the race to a finish evidently is on in earnest. Wc are watching it with much interest --------- ♦--------- LEGION HAS MIDNIGHT KANGAROO COURT After the silver moon hid it’s face under the western hills last Monday night ,a select guard, well armed re quested the “attendance of coutt” of Com rad Kullander, charged with a “sealed, complaint” only known to those called to the mysterious night session of the Flying Apes. Mingling with the Finny tribe, ankle gazing feeding cheese to an unruly ape, nr some other misdomenor, called for the emergency act of a kangaroo court. The high bench of authority was erected at the garbage dump just south of town and all witnesses officers and press agents with passes were requested to come unaccom panied, giving the countersign to outer guards stationed within smell ing distance of the dump. On the high throne, ruling with an iron baud and waving a discarded melon-rine with supreme authority sat His Honor High Monkey Monk, the judge of the court “Happy" Thompson,iu his official robes, passed sentence without blinking an eye, and served notice on our reporter that his opin ion must not be published. The prosecuting attorney with a shoe full of law, and a wrinkled brow of wisdom, was no other than the ve»- nable Mr. Shooley, with a made to order grouch for the occasion. His fiery tongue spat forth flames of denounciation that heaped red hot hair pins upon the conscious of hiii before the bar of justice. Defending the much accused disturber of inno cent brothers was Guy Shields, who pled for his client with tears roL- ing down his back. His final speech will go down in history as his masterpiece. Jack Carkins, gowned in rubber shoes and a tin roof, carrying an inflated baloon, was the court baliff, and under his com- mand the final explosion and fire work display took place. The out- come of this lengthy and hard fought trial will ever be a secret After a rest and shower baths.a song or two and a speech or three, re freshments ended the dark session on the banks of the Nehalem and the members returned home before the roosters crowed for the approach of daylight.

Ne'son. county agriculturist, was in the Nehalem valley, and while here arranged for holding a stump blowing demonstra tion with the government powder at Vernonia some time in October.
