Vernonia Invites You to Swim Free in Dewey Pool PAGE TWELVE VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON Wood Girls Have Narrow Cougar Escape ROEDIGER STARTS FARM BALL ROLLING WITH ACREAGE BUY E. G. Roediger is awarded The Eagle’s orchids this week for his purchase the past week of 300-acres of logged-off land 1H miles west of Vernonia on which he proposes to graze and raise cattle. For some time Mr. Roediger has watched the cattle industry progress in this dis trict and for a longer time he has wanted to purchase a size able tract upon which he could experiment. His purchase of the Koster Products land this week is the first major purchase of land for this industry to be made public since The Eagle began its campaign to interest people in the cutover property. Animal Stalks Sister* a* They Picked Berries North of Vernonia The Wood sisters, Iva Jane and June, who reside on Rock creek, were thrilled beyond words . , perhaps a little scared . . . July 1 when they “felt” a cougar not far from they walked. Here’s their story: “We were on Everett Wood’s land picking a f w b< rries to eat. Mr. Wood’s dog was with us and was acting as if there was something near, We then heard the twigs cracking but paid little attention to that. Then we heard the dog growling and we thought it was time for us to leave. “At 11 o’clock that evening our grandfather saw a cougar coming around the fence. It took the same trail we girls took. It came around our uncle’s car and was walking very slowly through the field. Our grandfather then shouted at it as it turned and saw him, running through the field and making for! the road. “Later our uncle was coming with a cow and something hissed! at him. When he arrived at his fath ers home, his father told him that he had seen the animal in the field. Later we found that the cougar had followed us home and we learn ed that Albert Parker had killed what we believe to be the same one the next morning.” --------- o--------- - Four Would Have Perish ed, Believed, During Cele bration on River OLD MILE SPAN IS THING OF HISTORY; WAS WORN, ROTTED The old Mile bridge was a thing of history today following the quick work of razing and burning the large timbers by a crew to which the work had been sublet by Warren North west, contractors. Inspection of the timbers in the old span showed them to be fooling the public. Apparent ly soundl on the outside, when the span tumbled into the Nehalem, prior to the cleaning operations, the interior of the huge timers were a mass of spongy pulp, all rotted. Workmen said that good for tune had smiled on motorists and pedestrians for the false work under the bridge, and which had been placed there the past winter, served as the only efficient prop.

ERREND MANY CALLS AT OFFICE There was only one thing wrong with Mrs. Eva Errend’s classified advertisement in The Eagle last week. She didn’t have enough little collie-Bpaniel puppies to give away. Mrs. Er- rend found that she had no place for the little dog so she inserted one of those result getters in your paper. El G. Roediger was first there and was the lucky man. After Mr. Roediger came scads of calls, all to be disappointed. Probab ly, if you have a mother canine whose natural tendencies are toward large families, you can dispose of the offsprings in the same fashion. There are many who’d pay the small fee for the pet.
