The Vernonia Eagle subscrip­

enough car winners yesterday
when Myrtle Buffmire dropped
out of the race, on account of
having to go to Medford to visit
sick relations, and Neoma Holter
of Birkenfeld also dropped out
of the race.
What is usual in a race of
this kind, two girls now occupy
the center of the stage, Emma
Dave O’Donnell, and lima Strong
both girls striving their best to
win the new Chevrolet cabriolet,
which will be awarded to the
one bringing in the greatest num­
ber of subscriptions, with a few
trailing along with several votes
to their credit. Helen Scribner
holding third place with eight
votes, and Ruby Palmer with
one vote.
With one subscription count­
ing as one vote, the number of
votes are not very staggering,
however, Emma Dav« O’Donnell
piled up 51 this week which
brought her total up to 106,
leaving her still maintaining the
lead Irma Strong with 68 votes
to her credit.
Of the ninety some new
subscribers enrolled since the
last report of a week ago, 89
per cent are from towns in the
valley.
The standing of the contest at
4 p.m. Wednesday with several
not reporting since a week ago
is:

of, “Nehalia Ice Cream.”
The work of installing the
special machinery for the manu­
facturing of ice cream was com­
pleted Tuesday afternoon, with
experts from the . Harris Ice
cream works of Portland super­
vising the installation.
The cream will be sold whole­

Mr. Kearns manager for the
creamery advises that special at­
tention will be given to special
orders, of social affairs, and
lodges, as the creamery is equip­
ped to turn out cream in odd and
fancy styles for any occasion.
L. Schwab suggested the name
of “Nehalia” which was adopt­
ed by Mr. Kearns for the cream
which his company have started
to manufacture, the Indian trans­

To Visit Experiment
Station At Astoria
(By Geo. A. Nelson)
The annual excursion from
Columbia county to the John
Jacob Astor Experiment Station,
at Astoria, will be hekl tins yeai
on June 29. All who are interest­
ed should be making plans to
attend on that day.
There are many experiments
being carried on at the station
in connection with the raising of
forage crops, fertility and pas­
ture proDiems that are of es­
pecial interest to the farmers of
Columbia county.
The trip is well worth the
time to attend.
Large Legion Band Of
22 Pieces To Play
Here July Fourth
Still striving to make this
years stampede and celebration
bigger and better, general chair­
man Ford, by signing up the
well known Clatskanie-Wauna,
Legion band, which consists of
22 pieces assures those interest­
ed, that Vernonia’s celebration
this year will play second to
none.
With Dr. Pasto’s additional
feature of daylight, and other
fireworks displayed, with a Clats­
kanie-Vernonia baseball game,
with stampedes, dances, smokers,
street dances, races, other street
entertainments, and band music,
Vernonia should live up to the
slogan picked by a member of
the committee “Roarin’ Days in
the Nehalem.”
An important feature of this
years celebration is the attractive
purses offered for first, second
and third prizes in the bucking
and riding contests, which should
attract many of the best known
riders on the coast, some who
do not always follow the larger
rodeos but also attend the smaller
stampedes. On account of the
recent weather conditions the
stampede has as yet been back­
ward on placing their placards
and other outdoor signs about
the country, waiting for a de­
cent break in the weather.
Within the next day or two
spare tire covers, reading Stam­
pede, July 3, 4, Vernonia, in
two colors of blue and red, will
be distributed to those public
spirited citizens who riding about
the country wish to advertise
their home town celebration this
year.
These canvas spare tire signs,
can be obtainable by requesting
for them at the Eagle office.
Work will start within the
next few days on repairs to the
road leading to the ball park,
and plans are being layed by the
general chairman, to assemble a
crew soon, putting the ball park
seats and grandstand in condition
besides building additional seats
that will accommodate a thous­
and spectators.
It is predicted that with a
Clatskanie-Vernonia baseball
game in the morning, that hun­
dreds will journey to this city
from Clatskanie to attend the
game and join in the big cele­
bration.
The stampede committee out­
line on the parade is very grat­
ifying, and invitations will be
sent to all who wish to enter a
float.
One of Portland's singing cops,
will take part in our celebration
on the third and fourth, and will
ride a horse in the parade sing­
ing through a megaphone also
entertaining during the stampede.

Largest Banquet Ever Held In Vernonia; Over
285 Present; Walter Carl Reelected As The
President; Next Meeting Birkenfeld In 1930.
Not like meetings of years
ago, when they came by horse
and buggy or carts hauled by a
team of oxen, to attend a gather­
ing of settlers, but last Sunday
members and their families of
the Pioneer Association of the
Nehalem valley, and pioneers
and their families who were not
members, drove into Vernonia
with automobiles covering the
average distance of 35 or 40
miles, in less than two hours
which in days they well remem­
bered required two days for the
trip.
Pioneers, still something else
is to be added to the impression
left, by this word which conveys
to many just those who settled
here long ago, old timers or
pathfinders.
After attending the meeting
last Sunday and meeting with
most of those who belonged to
thia pioneer association and
pioneer- who were not as yet
members, the greatest impression
left on the writer was the
strength and character of these
sturdy pioneers.
We hear so much about the
hardships which they endured
during the earlier days, but how
well they carry their years, hard­
ships must have heartily agreed
with most of them.
Hundreds attended the special
Z?rvices in honor of the visit­
ing pioneers a ^1 their families,
listening to the sermon by Rev.
Plumer at the Evangelical church.
Rev. Plumer dwelt upon the
wider vision these old pioneers
had, the spirit which made them
cut through heavy covered trails,
weather, the frightful storm of
1880, sacrificing on rations that
year, when their crops were de­
stroyed, making bread from
ground peas, exchanging com­
modities, borrowing from their
neighbors and always repaying.
Their word, a gilt edge bond,
conveying the opinion that hon­
esty was more personified in the
pioneer days. During his talk.
Rev. Plumer told how Hy Van
Blaricom the first mail carrier,
broke through trails to deliver
his valuable cargo, stating that
Mr. Van Blaricom said, “That
the love letters those days were
simply awful to read.”
An honor and pleasure has the
friendship of those among you
pioneers whom I have met, meant
to me, advised the minister.
Telling of the period when
Wm. Pringle Sr. was the first
Sunday school superintendent,
Rev. Plumer stated that we are
the better for having met and
known these splendid examples
of citizens, and the debt of those
who later settled in the valley,
to these pathfinders, was a great
one.
Beautiful flowers surrounded
the alter, and a large welcome
sign faced those seated in the
auditorium.
Following the services, a boun­
tiful banquet was served to the
pioneers and others, some 285
attending. Walter Carl, president
of the association called upon
Rev. Plumer for a blessing, and
following the banquet no after
dinner speeches were heard, but
A. C. Knauss sang a few songs,
accompanied on the piano by
Mrs. Knauss.
Immediately following tho ban­
quet, the meeting for the pion­
eers was called to order by presi-
nent Walter Carl, the minutes
of the previous meeting of a
year ago being read and approv­
ed.
During the meeting a motion
was made to give Vernonia a
vote of thanks for the hospital­
ity shown them this day.
Rev. Plumer in behalf of his
congregation, Vernonia and its
citizens extended a welcome to
those who were present express­
ing his pleasure that, it had
been this city’s privilege to have
as their guests this day, such an
honored group of citizens, as the
pioneers of the Nehalem valley.
Oscar Weed, present sheriff of
Columbia county and a member
of the Pioneer association of
the Nehalem valley, when called
on for a few words, expressed
his pleasure to again meet with
those he had known from child­
hood days, and while he did not
feel old enough to be a pioneer
was honored to a member of this
association, which had cleared the
wilderness in this section of the
country.
D. M. Freeman of Clntskanie
an 1874 pioneer, the first secre­
tary of the association, spoke
on the earlier days of the as­
sociation, which grew from an in­
fant organization of 16 members
or so, to its present strength of
119 members in good standing.
Mr. Freeman is an honorary
secretary of the pioneer associa­
tion.
L. Schwab of the Vernonia
Eagle, was called upon for a
few words by president Walter
Carl, Mr. Schwab expressing the
pleasure of Vernonia and its
citizens in having the pioneers
meet in this city for the first
time, breaking away from the
traditional meeting place of Bir­
kenfeld, which is more centrally
located.
Mrs. Frank Peterson in behalf
of the association read the con-

Birkenfeld and Mist
Sunday Schools Here
Last Sunday, June 2
Birkenfeld, June 10.—Children
from the Birkenfeld, and Mist
Sunday schools, were driven to
Vernonia last Sunday in school
busses to attend the services at
the Evangelical church, a special
service, especially for childrens
day.
( Please turn to page 8)
The Vernonia Boxing commis­
sion will sponsor a big smoker
here Saturday, June 22, which
will be the last smoker until
the big card which is being lined
up for July 4th.
While the actually outline has
not as yet been announced, it
is most likely that the Nelson
boys, Brady, Scott, Sweeney, and
Knight, may head the events, as
the local boys draw the largest
houses.
A great improvement has been
noticeable recently in the smok­
ers lineup, very little substitu­
tion being necessary, and with
the exception of the last fight
when Kid Scott's man did not
show up, the balance of the
fights have been as advertised.
The new price of admission of
$1 met with the public’s appro­
val and a steady increase in at­
tendance has been noticeable
lately.

the Miller brothers is on, which
is called Miller’s 9 Ring Circus.

store, even the cat will be in­
cluded in this treat. At the start
of the contest the local store

tries, but at the last reports on
June 5, the local store who were
nicknamed the Vultures, were
holding second place with expec­
tations of gaining to first place

own farm near Salem, to be
awarded those winning in the
contest.
