Annual Picnic
Portland lumbermen held their annual picnic at Bonneville, on the Columbia River Highway, July D, in perfect weather.
Immediately following lunch Herb Anderson created lots of fun by his humorous remarks in conducting the annual Liars' contest, in which the various candidates did their rvork so well that it was impossible to determine just who was the actual winner, the method of judging being by the applause given the best liars.
The feature event of the day was the annual baseball game between the manufacturers and wholesalers. After playing the full nine innings the manufacturers were declared the winners, but the score was unannounced. It is said however that at the end of the eighth the score was' 2O to 19 in favor of the millmen.
The watermelon eating marathon was won by a slip of a girl, and the surprise depicted on the faces of her husky boy competitors was something to be remembered.
Dancing was enjoyed from 4 P. M. to 8 P. M. to the strains of a snappy jazz orchestra.
The picnic was held under the auspices of the Portland Hoo Hoo Club, and its great success was due to the efforts of the following committee: W. H. Anderson, chairman; Elmer Xanten, assistant chairman; Phil Patterson, Ferdinand Smith and Sid Burt. Also very active in seeing that everybody had a good time were Carl Crow and W. B. (Billy) Mack, secretary-treasurer of the club.
