Grade, High Schools To NUMBER 56 VERNONIA, COLUMBIA COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1931. VOLUME IX. DAIRY ASSOCIATION INVESTIGATES FIELD F. H. Wooden of Jewell, presi dent of the Lower Columbia Co operative Dairy association and B. P. Thorsell of Astoria, field manager, made a trip through the Nehalem valley Thursday to in vestigate the feasibility of es tablishing a truck route to pick up cream. While in Vernonia they ex- pressed the opinion that there is not enough cream in the upper valley at present not already coming to the local creamery to warrant establishing a route. They regard possibilities for the future as very good, however, because of the adaptability of the Vernonia locality for dairying. Clow Performs Tonsorial Job High in a Tree ENSTROM ADVISES ROUTE EMPHASIS Vernonia should emphasize the fact that it offers an all year round route, states C. U. Ens- trom, who was here Wednesday and Thursday of last week on a temporary lay-off from his road construction work in Washing- ton. Mr. Enstrom helped build the Southern Pacific line to Tilla- mook, and is familiar with winter conditions along the proposed routes to the south of us. “We had five or six feet of snow there when there was no such thing here,” he declared.
