business in St. Helens for a number of years and has been one of
the most progressive an. prosperous
business men of the city. Recently
he decided to ietire from the general business and has successfully
conducted a sale of his goods until
he reached a point where some other
person could take the stock, so he
disposed of it to the new firm of
Welch & Ames, formerly of Kelso.
The citizens of St. Helens and vicinity know Duke Wellington so
well and have become so accustomed

same old Duke will greet you and
sell you nnything you need in the

LI5T OF EVENTS GIVEN
With the annual Columbia county
track and field meet but one week
away, Saturday, May 17, renewed
interest in the big event is being
manifested. Contractor I) spa in
started a crew to work leveling up
the field above the tennis courts
Thursday morning and expects to
have it in readiness in a few days.
After the high places have been
graded ami the low places filled,
the entire flat will be rolled and a
circular track made around the
edge. With fair weather St. Helens should have the best athletic
ground in the county by next Saturday.
County Suiierintemlent J. B.
n
has just secured for referee
of the meet Mr. P. W. Lee, physical director of the Portland Y. M.
C. A. This assures the boys of the
county the most competent as well
as the most impartial treatment
which they could possibly get.
While the local high school boys
have had no track to practice upon
nor have been trained by a special
coach, as has Clatskanie and
Rainier, they will enter every event
w ith a resolve to capture their share
of the medals. Rainier has engaged George Philbrook, the famous
Olympic athlete, to train their boys
for this meet. Clatskanie has hail a
special coach for several weeks.
Yet with all their star coaching St.
Helens looks to Captain Dale Perry
for first in the hammer, shot and
discus at least. Harry Richardson
will run all contestants close in the
pole vault and the sprints, while
"Doc" Smith will run the half mile
at a rate of speed which may make
the racers from down the stream
eat the dirt frem his spiked shoes.
Walter Zysett, Frank Robertson,
Charles Laws, Oswald Deming and
several other athletes have made
good showing and may be counted
upon to pick up a few points each.
In the grades It. Helens will
enter several promising athletes, including Lelland Goheen, James
Adams, Lester Wellington, Dewey
Harrison, Dewey Smith, Chandler
Gray, Glenn Barnett and Harley

The list of events will be as fol
