Keasey Extension Starts Meetings
By MELVIN SCHWAB
The Scappoose Indians
com
pletely routed the Vernonia Log
gers last Friday afternoon at
1 -30 at Scappoose, piling up a
score of 42-6 in their favor.
The first quarter of the game
saw the Indians run up a lead of
21-0 with the second quarter being
scoreless. In the latter part of
that quarter the Loggers started
a drive from their own 40 and
Brown went through the center of
the line on virtually every play
down to the Indian’s 18 yard
stripe before the drive was stop
ped. Earl W&ntland then inter
cepted an Indian pass on the Log
gers 35 and romped to the Indians
five-yard line before being caught
by a speedy Scappoose back. Brown
tried three times to push the ball
over and Williams once, but end
ed up with the ball on the op
ponents 6-inch line. In the rest
of the first half Scappoose drove
to the Logger 30 where the half
time whistle ended play.
At the beginning of the second
half, Scappoose kicked to the
Loggers who in turn were forced
to kick on their own 35. A Scap
poose lineman, however, penetra
ted the Loggers defense and block
ed the kick, catching it and run
ning the 35 yards for another
Indian tally. The Loggers once
again drove the ball to the Indians
25, but an intercepted pass by
Lange of the Indians was run
back 80 yards for the opponents
fifth tally. Final Scappoose score
came late in the fourth period
when Boggs, replacement for
Lange, went over from the nine-
yard line after a sustained drive
from their own 40. The thrills of
the afternoon, however, came when
with less than two minutes to play,
the Indians kicked off to the Log
gers to the 30 where Williams
picked up the pigskin, ran through
a host of Scappoose tacklers with
good blocking and covered 70 yards
for the one and only tally of the
Vernonia squad.
Standout of the Vernonia team
was Brown playing the fullback
position who, by brute force
through the line, gained most of
the Logger yardage during the
afternoon. The line of the locals
on the other hand seemed to be
taking a rest and seemed to forget
all the blocking and tackling as
signments they had been taught
in practice in previous weeks.
There wasn’t any doubt that
the Loggers were outclassed by
the Indian team, but they weren’t
outclassed by 36 points. The team
as a whole just didn’t play ball,
looking like the team that Sea
side defeated two weeks ago.

work to be done later inside will
complete the entire building he
said.
New flooring will replace that
removed from Ben's Barber Shop

Over 5 Tons
Of Fir Cones
Harvested
90 Pound's of Clean
Seed Will Produce
2 Million Seedling»
The harvest of Douglas fir cones
for the Columbia County Tree
Farm has been completed with
very satisfactory results Farm
foresters said Tuesday. Approxi
mately five and one-half tons of
cones were delivered to a drier
at Salem where the seed will be
extracted.
This five and one-
half tons of cones, or approxi
mately 180 bushels, will yield
about 90 pounds of clean seed.
Because of the high quality seed
produced in Columbia county, this
90 pounds of Douglas fir seed,
which will grow about 2 million
seedlings, will be sent to the
Nisqually nursery to raise plant
ing stock for the four Crown Zel-
lerbach tree farms.
The seed which will be sown by
helicopter here on the Columbia
Tree Farm, will be purchased from
limited supply on the market. Due
to the shortage of seed it has
been necessary to cut the acreage
from the originally planned 1800
acres to 1000 acres. The area is
located along the Camp 9 road and
south of the old Clark-Wilson
tunnel.
Plans are being made to harvest
cones locally every year in the
largest quantity possible. There
was splendid cooperation exhibited
by many local people this fall. It
is the hope of the Tree Farm
foresters that irt the future many
more residents will assist them
in cone collection so that more
rapid steps may be taken towards
getting all cutover areas back
into forests.
