One of he most successful
wrecks ever sponsored by Colum­

vaux, was held last Saturday
evening two miles east of Ver-
nonia, along the Inland loop
highway.
E. S. Thompson, Dan Nelson,
Connie Anderson, Army Kennard
and Roy Kullander were initiated
in the order of the American Le­
gion. Ritual work was completed
in the local Legion hall with
many well known Voyageurers of
La Société being present. Ed­
ward Eivers, Past National Chef
de Chemmin de Fer, former
head of La Société over the en­
tire country was present and as­
sisted Chef de Gare, Dr. W. H.
Hurley, and Conducteur, Percy
Hughes in carrying out full de­
tails for the initiation, which is
considered one of the most
famous initiations in the world.
Rex Parelius, Past Grand Garde
de L Porte of Portland and Cecil
Ford, Garde de La Porte of
Portland Voiture No. 25 assisted
Eivers and the local Voyageurers.
As is customary before the
real serious part of the wreck,
those that were to be initiated
were taken for a “ride” in the
most comfortable vehicles obtain-
able, during which period every
possible thing was performed for
the comfort of those to be
brought into the order. A splen-
did banquet was served under
the personal direction of Meilis
De Fur, caterer of Portland, whe
handled the serving of some 50
present to perfection.
The well known 40 et 8 quar­
tet, rendered a few selections,
following the banquet, singing a
few war songs which were ap­
propriate for the occasion, while
several members engaged in light
skirmishes.
Vernonia Voiture has become
famous throughout the state of
Oregon for their wrecks, and
the wreck last Saturday was
considered by all to have been
the best since the Voiture re­
ceived its charter in September,
1926.

Vernonia Golf Course
Fair Board Hope
To Have Record In
To Open Next Friday Attendance This Year
The opening date for the Ver­
nonia golf course will be Fri­
day, June 28, at which date the
public is invited to inspect the
only golf course in Columbia
county, located along the Inland
Loop highway about three miles
from this city.
Constructed by George Junior,
well known golf architect, who
has layed out some of the most
famous golf courses on the Pa­
cific coast, the Vernonia Golf
course is ideally located along
the highway, near the banks of
the beautiful Nehalem river, and
it surrounds scenery rivals that
of any course in the country.
The course is about 3160 yards
long and consists of 9 holes with
water pipes layed to each green.
Constructing their own water
system with a power line con­
structed from this city to the
course, which furnishes lights
and power, the officials have
provided every possible conven­

the caravan will leave for the
experiment station, which is lo­
cated about 4 miles southwest
of Astoria, and at 10:30 will
begin the inspection of the sta­
tion under the direction of A.
E. Engbretsen, superintendent.
This makes the fifth annual
excursion from Columbia county
to the station. This excursion
should be of especial interest to
the farmers, as experiments car­
ried on there are on hill and
dyked lands similar to the types
of land found in Columbia coun­
ty. They are carrying on experi­
ments with all kinds of forage
crops adapted to this section of
the country, and fertilizers for
the production of these crops to
the best advantage. They are
also experimenting in connection
with the feeding of the dairy
herd to obtain the best results
from home grown feeds and
especially in providing summer
feeds to maintain the maximum
production of the herd.
Those going should take a
basket lunch, A picnic dinner
can be held in the grove at the
station, where there are tables
and other facilities provided for
this purpose. After the picnic
dinner, we will resume the in­
spection of the station. All those
who intend to go are requested
to notify the county agent’s of­
fice.

Stampede Get
Park In Shape
At a recent session of the
County court, the Apiary exten­
sion was designated as a market
road, with a survey to be made
shortly by the county, which will
be passed to the highway com­
mission for approval.
The road between Rainier and
Apiary was completed about
three years ago as a market road
and with designating the road
from the Nehalem highway to a
point south of Oak Ranch creek,
would take in a territory of
about 9 miles.
A delegation from Vernonia
was present when the county
court met to render their decis­
ion whether this section of the
Apiary road should be classified
as a market road.
By officials of the West Side
Pacific highway association, the
designation of this section of
road as a market road, is con­
sidered a most important step
towards their goal, in construc­
ting a road from Eugene north
to the Canadian border through
Longview.
The Apiary route the connect­
ing link of the new proposed
highway would be entirely of
new construction and would be
the most costly of the proposed
route to complete. Various pre-
liminarys surveys have been
made and from the information
compiled by the engineers, the
distance is estimated from Pitts­
burg to Apiary at from 9 to 12
miles, however, in none of the
surveys is the distance estimated
at more than twelve miles.
From the west end of the new
extension the road would lead
to Rainier over the Rainier
Apiary market road a distance
of about 8 miles which would
make the distance between Ver-
nonia and Rainier on the pro-
posed routd approximately 23
miles.
