City Council Debates Change In Bank Matter ADAMS FAVORS ACCEPT ING SAFEWAY BLOCK Johnson Opposes Because of Indebtedness on Building Discussion of a proposition to substitute for the golf course the building now occupied by the Safeway store in the bank settle ment case occupied the attention of the city council at an ad journed meeting Monday night. The substitution was advocat ed by Councilman Adams, who characterized the golf course as a “dead horse,” of no value to the city. Councilman Johnson op posed the proposition, chiefly be cause of a $4500 mortgage which he said is on the property. It would take the city about 40 years to pay off the principal, he asserted, after taxes, insurance and other fixed charges are de ducted from the income from rental. No action with regard to the matter was taken. NUMBER* 48. VERNONIA, COLUMBIA COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1934. Rebuilding Bridges Forecast by Inspection By S. P. & S. Officials Fishy Reporter Proclaims Steelhead Season Open Inspection of bridges between I here and Keasey with a view to I rebuilding was made Tuesday byj a group of S. P. and S. officials. This survey is regarded as be ing in anticipation of logging from the old East Side tract rather than from the O.-A., since the crew did not have orders to inspect bridges beyond Keasey. It is expected that reconstruc tion will begin soon.

Be Shown Here _____ Hurrah! The steelhead season is officially open. Ted Anderson had the honor of catching the ; first one at Keasey. He landed one last Saturday that weighed 6H pounds and was 26 inches' long. It was as bright as a new dollar—but not much brighter than Ted’s face at that. This seemed to cause quite some excitement among all of the steelhead fishermen, for there were a lot of them at Keasey Sunday morning at day break. Smoky Parker was the only lucky one. He landed a nice one. Hoffman and Ruhl both swore there wasn’t a fish in the creek. Bill Heath ana Andy Brimmer both must think they are otters or something, as they jumped right in and tried to swim the fish to death. All they got was a good soaking. Lode McDonald tried to keep the fire going for them and Larry Marshall lent his moral support. Loel Roberts and Lowell Hieb- er made a trip down river Sun- day and Roberts landed a ten pounder. Emil Messing and Ed Bollinger also went down river and soon came back looking for a nice wari^ fire. If you want to know how to catch suckers ask Emil. While at Keasey Sunday I no ticed that the cabin had been re paired and a new stove had been installed. A porch had also been built for the fisherman to set up his pole and get his rigging on. I understand that the boys of the Rod and Gun club did this work, and it should be appreciated by one and all. The Rod and Gun club will hold a meeting Monday night, December 3, for the purpose of electing officers, and I under stand that there will be a good program and pictures of wild life will be shown by the game com mission. Every member should try to be there. They are doing a wonderful work and you should join them to protect our fish and game. Enough is “nuff.” Hey, somebody, gaff this fish for me! GAME COMMISSIONER IS TO BE PRESENT Nehalem Rod and Gun Club To Give Program Monday Motion pictures to be shown by F. B. Wire, state game super visor, are on the program of the meeting of the Nehalem Rod and Gun club at the Masonic hall Monday night. While not definite ly known at this time as to what will be shown, it is expected that one reel entitled “Babblings of Old Man River,” giving a story of a stream from its source to its mouth and showing animal and fish life along the way will be presented. Another which Mr. Wire plans to exhibit is called “The Prong-Horn Antelope of Oregon,” depicting the antelope herds of southeastern Oregon. Besides these, which will furnish about 30 minutes of entertain ment, there may be one or two additional wild life films. There will also be a business meeting, the annual election of officers coming at this time.
