At the regular meeting of the
Vernonia Chamber of Commerce
Aprd 4, Mrs. Paddy Hughes and
Mrs. W. J. Gooding, represent­
ing the Vernonia Garden club,
asked the cooperation of the
Chamber in sponsoring a city
beautiful contest, to start about
’May 1 and end sem« date in
September.
A general clean up day would
start the program, advised Mrs.
'Gooding, and prizes would be
awarded, one division for those
who do all their own work, and
another for people who have as­
sistance in the upkeep of then
premises. The total prizes would
amount to around $111 and the
club advised that they had in­
tentions of entering the garden
display this year at the Rose
festival in Portland.
President Wolff advised the
ladies that his civic committee,
which included G. W. Ford, Dr.
M. D. Cole, and Ed. Holtham,
would work and cooperate with
the Garden club and go over the
recommendations as presented by
Mrs. Gooding and Hughes as
spokesman for their club.
Mr. Wolff advised all mem­
bers that those who possibly
could should attend the Lower
Columbia Chamber of Commerce
meeting at Longview, Wash. Fri­
day April 12, the general meet­
ing to start during the forenoon,
and after the meeting the vis­
itors would be invited to inspect
the industrial plants, and attend
the free auto show, dancing, and
Bee the girls’ walking
races,
which were scheduled to start
at 6:00 p.m.
j C. F. Hieber presented a reso­
lution recommending a change
of schedule covering the trains

land, proposing that instead of
departing at 2:00 p.m. that the
leaving time should be changed
to 11:45 a.m., arriving in Port­
land around 2:10 p.m.
On account of more important
business to come up before the
meeting the resolution was up­
held for approval from the
chamber until the next meeting.
Four of Rainier's prominent
citizens attended the meeting, J.
A. Schunesen, Judge
W.
A.
Wood, Jos. McKay, and W. E.
Proctor, and each was called on
for a few words.
W. E. Proctor outlined the
proposed new extension of the
West Side Pacific highway and
in forming a road association for
the districts in northwestern
Oregon that would be effected
by this route running in a
straight line from Eugene north
to Rainier.
Mr. Proctor requested the exe­
cutive committee to meet with
him and his associates after the
, regular meeting in which they
could form a temporary com­
mittee which would handle the
meeting which was scheduled in
the Joy theatre Monday 8.
Carl Burgeson, new secretary
of the Chamber, reported on
membership and advised that
members were requested to sub­
mit their dues either to him or
the memership chairman, Mr.
Schwab, as soon as possible, and
that the chamber was still stag­
ing a membership campaign in
hopes of ringing their number
up to 100, the present member­
ship being 72.

Nelson In Main
Event Saturday
Kid Nelson, Vernonia’s pop­
ular middleweight, will fight
the eight-round main event Sat­
urday night in the smoker at
the Legion hall with Frankie
Flynn, 160 pounds, of Portland
as his opponent.
Nelson has been winning all
his fights and at St. Helens a
few weeks ago knocked
out
Bull Durham, St. Helens’ best
middle weight in the main event
of the Legion smoker.
Frankie Flynn, who is to fight
Nelson, is a hard hitting clever
mixer and will make Nelson hit
on all fours, if Nelson intends
to carry on with his list of vic­
tories.
Flynn has been fighting on
the coast, but doing most of his
battling in Hollywood,
Calif.,
and in making his first showing
in Portland was awarded the de­
cision over battling Maneveau
of Kelso.
Dane Brady of Vernonia will
mix with Bob Hensley of Port­
land in a six round semi-wind-
up. As in all of Brady fights,
the affair promises to be a leal
scrap.
Hensley, 126 pounds, is about
the same build as Brady, ac-
cording to word received from
his manager, and is a clever fast
hard hitting youngster who has
followed the fight game for the
last two years, but like Flynn
has done very little
fighting
around Portland or cities in Ore­
gon.
Kid Scott, the popular Tim­
ber scrapper who in the recent
smoker won his battle by a K.O.,
will fight Peter
Berry,
116
pounds, of Portland in one of
the prelim fights. Scott can hit,
and moves like a streak of
lightning,
demonstrating
h i s
fighting ability when he had Bil­
ly Little of Portland groggy in
the third round of their four
round battle two weeks ago.
Scott won the approval of the
fight fans in this city by his
good showing and all seem very
anxious to see this clever boxer
in action again.
Two other good preliminaries
will make up the fight card
which should be a whiz judging
from some of men playing the
leading part.
