After Brief Illness
1st County
Champion
Bateman is. Runner-up ;
Hale Greenman
Medalist
The first annual Columbia
county golf tournament has drawn
to a successful close with M. E.
Ulshoeffer of Vernonia winning
the championship. The tourna­
ment has shown that Vernonia
has an exceptionally fine team of
golfers as they carried off nearly
all the honors and considering
that a number of the boys never
played golf or very little until
the course was built here two
years ago, aspects for even great­
er honors in the future are very
bright.
M. E. Ulshoeffer turned in
cards of 36-38-37 in the final
36-hole round with Tom Hate­
man, the match being finished on
the 29th hole. Bateman fought
an uphill battle from the very
start but lost to the more ex­
perienced man who was shooting
almost unbeatable golf.
Cups will be awarded the win­
ner and runner-up in each flight
and also the medalist, Hale Green­
man. Of the 15 cups, 11 will re­
main in Vernonia. Next year’s
tournament will be played in St.
Helens and the boys hope to
bring the championship to Ver­
nonia.
Hale Greenman, Medalist
The following will receive
cups: Championship flight, win­
ner, M. E. Ulshoeffer; runner-
up, O. T. Bateman.
The finals for the first flight
have not yet been played off as
E. E. Shank was unavoidably
out of town last Sunday. This
will be a 36-hole match between
A. Childs and Shank, who will
each receive a cup.
Second flight, winner, H.
King; runner-up, Frizzell of St.
Helens.
’I
Third flight, winner, M. D.
Cole; runner-up, J. H. Bush.
Fourth flight, winner, W. Phil­
lips of St. Helens; runner-up,
John Miller.
Fifth flight, winner, Emil Mes­
sing; runner-up Paul Jepson.
Sixth flight, winner, Jones,
Briarcliff; runner-up, Fluhrer,
Briarcliff.
A match was planned between
Seaside and Vernonia but at pre­
sent no date is available that
would be suitable to both teams.
A match is scheduled between
Vernonia and Forest Hills, June
21, in Vernonia.
Next Sunday there will be a
free button challenge on the lad­
der. A contestant can not chal­
lenge more than two positions in
front.
TRAIN SERVICE
IS CURTAILED
Train service to Keasey has
been cancelled except on Thurs­
days. The last trip was Sunday.
Announcement has been made
by R. M. Aldrich, local agent,
that there will be no Sunday
train to and from Portland.
Light traffic while the camps
are shut down is assigned as a
reason for" the curtailment of ser­
vice.
Tapp Is Expected
Home From Hospital
Mayor J. E. Tapp "is expected
home today from the Veteran’s
hospital, where he has been since
March 2. He has been doing
very nicely, gradually gaining in
weight and strength.
For a month or so he will
stay at Peter Bergerson's ranch
for recuperation before resum­
ing his duties at the Vamonia
Trading company.
Poppy Sale Saturday
The annual poppy sale for the
benefit of disabled veterans will
be held Saturday, with the Le­
gion Auxiliary in charge.
Over $65 was raised here in
the sale last year, and an equal­
ly generous response is expected
this time.
S. V. Malmsten was in Portland
on business Tuesday.
Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Miller,
undertaken at Aurora, spent the
weekend at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. O. H. Drorbaugh.

SIGNIFICANCE
THE POPPY
OF
When you buy your pop­
py Saturday, think of the
disabled veteran in a hos­
pital or convalescent work­
shop who has fashioned the
little
b|ood-red
flower.
Think of the fatherless fa­
mily whose struggles dur­
ing the coming year will be
lightened by the coin you
drop into the poppy work­
er’s box.
Think of the
brave American boys who
tie beneath the waving pop­
pies in France. Think of
these things and you will
understand the true signi­
ficance of the poppy.
Rev. G.' W. Plumer’s car was
damaged by fire Thursday morn­
ing, May 15, at Ostrander, Wash­
ington.
The mishap occurred
while the car was being started,
and was due to a leak in the
feed line.
Flames
spread
immediately
around the motor, so that Mr.
and Mrs. Plumer barely had time
to jump from the car. Mr. Plum­
er extinguished them with water
from a near-by well, before the
body of the car was injured.
Damage was confined to the mo­
tor and one tire.
The car was left in Ostrander
for repairs, and the Plumers were
brought home by their son-in-
law, who lives there.
