Vernonia high met defeat at
Clatskanie, Saturday, only after
a stiff fight. The score was 37
to 0. The teom was handicapped
by the loss of Kirk at right half,
but nevertheless put up a real
battle until the final whistle.
Adams of Vernonia was per
haps the best back field perform
er in the game, but, with his in
terference not functioning he was
unable to get away for a touch
down.
Graven, Sorlee, Christianson,
and Nanson played a good game
for Vernonia and Marshall was
on the receiving end of some
nice passes.
Clatskanie has a well balanced
team and although it is the
first time in four years that they
have won from Vernonia they are
real contenders for the county
championship this year.

The important issue before the voters of
Oregon is to conserve the natural resources
of the state for its people, their Welfare
and prosperity.
To make sure that the power of the
rivers, essential to the rights of the com

but shall be governed and used for the
largest public benefit.
A power trust governor and a power

is a sufficient prospective demand. Ore

bring immense factory payrolls and provide
abundance of cheap power for the home.
It has already been proven by Tacoma,
Seattle and Eugene during the last fif
teen years that municipal development of
hydro-electric power is the only practical
way to get service at a reasonable cost
to our homes and factories.

State development of our wat

industrial enterprises and domes

Such development will require
the e enditure of millions of
dollars in the employment of la

enormous perpetual factory pay
rolls.
I solicit joint public discussion
with any registered voter in Co

of private ownership versus pub

power.
Dates for joint discussion may
be arranged by giving five days’
notice.

plants have been in operation
