He elected himself king of heroes last Sunday over at Xyashougal. Hudson traveled 80 miles to show that Washougal crowd the difference between play ing ball and fooling around. Yes, sir, he caught one of the most , beautiful games that was ever played along the Columbia river. Not one base was stolen on him during the game. He made four trips to the plate, flied out twice poled a two bagger, scoring Welch and to wind up his days work nicked a home run with Nance and Wright on the paths. He got three outs on high fouls.

The Ducks wobbled over to Wash ougal last Sunday, wobbled around town awhile, went out to the ball park and wobbled all over Washou gal. Things looked kind of serious for the Ducks because they were not used to being penned up in such a small lot. The grass was so high in the outfield that the city had to plant trees for the fielders to climb up in so the spectators might see them. Welch, our left fielder picked some mighty high flys, and also some nice cherries from among the trees. Wright and Merrith played on the banks of an irrigation ditch sur rounded by a barb wire fence. Any way these little things didn’t stop those boys, they just kept right on fighting from the start. Norwest was there and he and Jack Nance sure strutted their onions. Blackman, our first baseman is sining like a dia mond. he sure is a wonderful player and is getting better every game. Kotula, the old dependable, worked like a big leaguer at third base. He got a pair of hits and stole one base Davis, our chucker, had an easy day he had Washougal dizzy from the way he kept that old apple humming by them. He got the first hit for Ver nonia, accepted three chances for put out, walked two and whiffed nine, and once for exercise struck three out in a row. Washougal got one run in the first inning. Ver- JUNE 18, 1926 Volume 4 Number 45 IT IS VERNONIA DAY First Train Arrived Four Years Ago September 9th. September 9th is Vernonia Day. Four years ago, September 9, the first train arrived in Vernonia and the big mill started their big build ings. That day we had some good committees, raised a few hundred dollars and entertained over a thous and people who left several thous and dollars in town. It was a big day It payed; it made Vernonia. We should have better celebrations of the day each September. We would like to see a big time that day, an excursion. We would like to see Ver nonia do something. To make the event state known, however, work and publicity should begin now. Several things Vernonia needs; this might help to secure them. What do you say.

FISHING IN OREGON ’ ' New Teachers Come to Scheel With Very High Credentials. J. B. Wil- Kerson Will Continue in Head Office. The following named teachers have been employed by the. Union High School board for the next school year of 1926-27: J. B. Wilkeraon, principal, latin, civics; Levi F .Austin, sciences, ath letics; Thon^as F. Graham, commer cial; Miss Flossie Perce, english Miss Mirabel Goodin, sewing, history Miss Ruth Hickman, French, Span ish; Mrs. W ,R. Hammack, algebra ind geometry. The new teachers will come to the tchool with very high credentials. Miss Perce taught for a number of years in the Rainier high school, and is leaving the high school of San Bernadino, California, voluntarily to return to Oregon and Columbia county. Miss Hickman is a graduate from Reed college, and has met with success in her work at Imbler, dur ing the past year. Mrs. Hammack is a teacher of considerable experience in the schools of Oregon. In some of these schools, she ha^ held the position of principal. During the past school year, she taught in Philo math college. Mrs. Marjorie Cole, who taught in the school for five years, did not wish to be re-elected for another year. Mrs. Cole has given valuable service in the high school, and it will be very difficult to find a suc cessor to the position she has held who will measure up to the many good qualities that she as a teacher possesses. --------- ♦--------- DOKKIES IN ST.
