LUMBER CAMPS
TO OPEN SOON
Renewed activity in the log­
ging industry is expected in this
section of the Lower Columbia
with the beginning of March.
The Kerry line will become ac­
tive for the first time in several
months when the K-P Timber
company will begin operating
with two sides at work. Between
80 and 100 men are expected to
be employed by this company at
the opening. It is said that a
third side will be added later.
Benson Timber company has
set no definite date for opening
as yet, but they have been mak­
ing preparations and it will not
be many weeks, it is thought,
before they will also be operat­
ing.
The LaDee Logging company
is reported to be ready to be­
gin operating near Astoria within
the next ten days. About 130
men will be employed at the
opening at A tori*.

Potato Growers

The annual meeting and show
of the Columbia County Ptoato

poose. Prizes won at the potato

Pride of Multnomah—James
Anliker, 1st
The production of potatoes and
the potatoe market was discus­
sed by G. R. Hyslop, professor of
farm crops at the O.A.C., and
some very interesting facts were
brought out as to how potatoes
in the state have been improved
and afford a better market even
though prices have been gener­
ally depressed.
Mrs. Sarah V. Case, county
home demonstration agent, gave
a very interesting talk on the
cooking qualities of the differ­
ent varieties of potatoes.
H. W. Zivney, president of the
Oregon State Potato Growers’
association, was present and gave
a talk on what the association
has done in getting through and
enforcing the Oregon potato law;
and by bringing up the quality of
Oregon potatoes through proper
labeling it improved the demand
for our potatoes in our local
markets as well as in California.
Than Brown was again elected
president; J. R. Anliker, vice-
president, and E. E. Mallaber,
secretary-treasurer. Martin Hoven
and Geo. A. Nelson were elected

2 Students from
Here in Contest
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON—
(Special)—That students at the
Unuiversity of Oregon like none
but jazz music is disputed by
the large number of entries in
the Polyphonic song contest which
will be held in May. This con­
test was originated this year by
members of the University Poly­
phonic choir, under the direction
of Arthur Boardman, professor
of music.
Nineteen living organizations
on the campus have officially en­
tered, and Miss Amy Hughes and
Glen Hieber, both of Vernonia,
will be representatives of Hend­
ricks hall and Alpha Tau Omega,
respectively. Miss Hughes, who
is the president of Hendricks
hall, is a member of the Poly­
phonic choir, and a senior in mu-
sic. Mr. Hieber is a member of
the glee club, this year, and is
a freshman in law.
Two large silver loving cups
are offered to the ensemble mak­
ing the best showing at a com­
petitive audition to be held in
May. One cup will go to the
woman’s house or hall enterting
the best vocal sextet, and the
other will be awarded to the
men’s organization with the best
quartet.
OLEO IS BANNED
FROM CLATSKANIE
Oleomargarine, the “commun­
istic Red” of the dairying sec­
tion was this week banned from
Clatskanie and what was here was
deported bodily and without cere­
mony.
A committee representing the
Farmers’ Union, Grange, and the
Kiwanis club, called on local mer­
chants and asked that they dis­
continue selling it and sell them
all they had in stock.
The merchants readily cooper­
ated and the oleo is gone. Sever­
al of the merchants who formerly
sold oleo have not been carry­
ing it for several months and the
committee spoke in high terms of
the cooperation they received.
Only two stores are now selling
oleo in Astoria and the campaign
to rid that county of it is going
ahead nicely.
It is expected
that within a few days none will
be sold in St. Helens and the
committee will call on merchants
in the county towns soon and it
is expected that the whole coun­
ty, in fact, the whole lower Co­
lumbia will be oleo free.

VERNONIA DEFEATS
ST. HELENS 30-26
The Vernonia high five defeat­
ed the strong St. Helens team
Friday, February 27, 30-26 to
finish the season in second place.
The game was fast throughout.
Both teams were tied for sec­
ond place and whichever team
lost would have to take third
place.
The first quarter opened with
Vernonia scoring three points,
but St. Helens tied the count af­
ter five minutes playing. The
first quarter ended 7-3 favor of
Vernonia.
In the second quarter St. Hel­
ens closed the gap and at the
half the score stood 14-12 favor
of Vernonia.
Both teams came back strong
after the rest period, St. Hel-
ens again tied the score at 14-
14, but this was soon broken
by Vernonia who steadily forged
ahead. Ralph George severely
sprained his ankle in this quar­
ter.
In the .asc quarter both teams
were fighting hard, St. Helens
to make more baskets, while
Vernonia was trying to hold the
lead. St. Helens sank basket
after basket but Vernonia’s lead
was too great.
This was Vernonia’s last game
of the season, and the last in
which Gloyd Adams, Robert Hol-
comb and Marvin Porterfield par-
ticipate, as they graduate this
spring.
Vernonia won six games and
lost six during the season.
SENIOR CLASS
The seniors held a class meet­
ing on Tuesday and Wednesday
of last week, to decide their
class colors, flowers and motto.
