John Riedel Says He Owes
His Health to Regular
Habits.

John Riedel, of No. $50 Hoboken ave-
nue., is probably the oldest citizen of Hud-
son county. Although in his ninety-sixth
year he is hale and hearty and in the full
possession of all his faculties, He has
never wore eyeglasses in his life. He is
an omnivorous reader of newspapers and
an interesting conversationalist. He walks
without cane and takes particular pride
in the fact that he has never been attend
ed by physician in his life.
Despite these conditions the nonagenar-
ian has all his life broken nearly every
recognized health rule He drinks beer
and whiskey in liberal quantities today as
he says he has always done, smokes in
cessantly and keeps late hours.
John Riedel was born in Krenznach,
Germany, on January q, 1906 He is
therefore 95 years and months old For
| half century of his long life he worked
at the trying occupation of fireman in a
large salt mandatory in his native
country. During this long period of SER
vice the old man says he never lost a
day through sickness.
Seventeen years ago Riedeps wife died
He was then seventy-eight, but able
bodied and competent to continue at the
hard work he had been doing for fifty
years. AT the SOLICITATION or his only son,
the old man reluctantly resigned his po-
sltion and came to this country to live
He has since resided with his son, Fred
Rledel, who conducts a saloon at No. 45(
Hoboken avenue, near the Five Corners.
When seen by a News reporter YES
terday afternoon, the nonagenarian was
sitting in front of his sons place smok-
ing long stemmed meersehaum pipe
Although bent by the weight of his many
years, his eye was bright and his Voice
clear. He smiled when asked to impart
the secret of his long life and replied
laconieally in German
Regular habits and no medicine"
The old man said that he arose at six
O'Clock every morning and never retired
before eleven at night. Existence, with
out work, after his long period of toll,
was at first very tiresome, but he had
become used to it. He spends naest4of his
time reading; drinks when he feels like
it, always beer or whiskey, but always
has his meals at regulars hours. His
food is of the simplest kind and his APP
petite is always good.
He looks as if he would and says he
feels that he will round the century mark
of existence. He is contented and happy,
and ready when his time comes to leave
this world without regret He says life
is still sweet, but he realizes that the end
cannot be many years off and he feels
that he has enjoyed a fair share of the
pleasures of the world.
Casper Riedel, the father of. the old
man, died at tn age of IA and John has
a brother who died of pneumonia in
Brooklyn last April at the age of 49, He
forfeited a pension in Germany when he
became citizen of this country.

Dear for one month at least. 1t was a
matter, he said which should have full
consideration. Due notice of this action
TO reduce the secretary's salary, said
MT. Stowe, should have ben given and he
moved that it should be referred for the
action of the Board of Directors at their
next meeting.
Mr. Hasking seconded Mr.. Stoves mor
ton.
Mr.. Furst admitted that the PROPOSE
tion to cut off Mr. Tait's salary by one
half was his. He begged the meeting not
to lay the matter over for the Directors,
who might do something different, and
wouldn't that make this meeting have to
take a back track?
"My reason for referring this matter to
the directors" said Mr. Frank Stevens.
is because you Mr.. Dear and Mr., Cleary
We're appointed as a Nominating Commit
tee and it is a question in my mind
whether or not you have not exceeded
province in proposing to reduce the Sec
retary's salary
Mr.. Dear modified his resolution, but
Mr.. Stowe wouldn't give way and his
resolution to refer was put and lost.
The minority in trying to stave off the
action of Messrs. Furst and Dear tried a
new trick. Mr.. Anderson moved to
amend Mr.. Dear's resolution by fixing the
salary for the coming year at $500 instead
of $50, but that was lost. Another at
tempt was made to lay over the snap
| resolution, as it was termed, until next
meeting, but to delay was dangerous and
| that was futile; the original motion of
Mr.. Dear going through votes for and 8
against; four members declining to vote
Calm appearing after the storm, Mr..
Dear moved that $50 be paid out of the
Boards fund of $702.74 to Mayor Hoos for
the relief of the Galveston sufferers
Mr.. Furst seconded the motion, adding
that he wished the Board was in posi-
tion to do more. And this closed the meet
ing. Some of the members in leaving had
port which caused the fight, and this is
| one expression from a well known citizen
of the highest standing:-
"This action of few with an axe to
grind means the death knell of this
Board. When a body of gentlemen ostensi-
bly, gather together for the good of the
city, deviate from that path and use the
Board for schemes of vengeance, their
usefulness is gone. This action tonight is
deplorable. There was no proper notice
given and it looks as if some one was get
ting square for being dumped some time
ago. 1t means bitter fight in the future,
and some more unpleasant things will be
said.'

Oregon Timber Statistics.

Portland rimberman that aoo, 900 900 feet
oi timber is consumed annually IN the
state ot Oregon tor hrewood. When it
comes To notice that the city OF Portland
burned ~, 7o7 cords of >lahwood and
tordwood last year, the estimate does not
appear very wide oi the mark. The
Southern Pacific, which burns wood eN'
tlusIvely on its Oregon lines consumed
some 5000 cords alone last year, and
will probably use 5000 cords this year.
The Blue mountain wood camps cut 49,.
900 TO 10000 cords each, annually. This
wood finds market in Baker City, la.
Grande, Walla Walla, and even Idaho.
The steamboats, on the Columbia and
Willamette rivers consume enormous
quantities OF coriwood and keep small

DEEPEST HOLE IN THE EARTH.

The deepest hole ever dug In the earth
for men to work In Is the shaft OF the Red

at a depth Of a mile are no less valuable.
II had been thought that such u depth
as the bottom Of the Red Jacket shaft
would have temperature that would boil
an egg. This was tourd not to be the
case, however. Careful tests at the bot.

a mile below the surface Of the earth Is
only S7.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

No Mystery About Politics.

There Is nothing peculiar or mysteri-
Gus about politics or international rela-
lions, says Henry D. Sedgwick, Jr., in
The Atlantic. When two or three men
live within hail of one another, polit-
ical relations begin. Politics begin
when men realize that other men are
forces to be considered. Men meet,
bow; each drives his wagon to the
right; one sells, another buys; they
fence their acres in. They meet to-
gether to chop down tree, to mend the
road, to regulate county matters with
the next community.
Whether they like it or not, politics
have begun; ethical relations have be-
gun; religion has come in. Be it fear,
philosophy, instinct or habit, every nor
NAL man is conscious of this religious
element. Men cannot separate politics
from ethics nor ethics from religion;
they are thu eefold, yet one and indivisi-
BILE. From that union springs the nor
NAL law.
Rightly to understand that power Is
the chief problem Of life, and mankind
has long been busy at the task, but the
immediate matter for men Is to under
stand that what is true of two men and
three gathered together is true Of tens
Of millions. Are men to recognize this
power which acts on the Individual and
on society only when the company is
small and they can see the whites of
each others eyes? The duty of the
state is to recognize the scientific truth
of the universality and persistence of
this power and to put it to use in state
affairs.

Down in the orchard. where the leaves
Plsy hide and seek all day,
J crossed the web the shadow weaves
And came where Doris lay.
Her arms were crossed above her hair,
Her eyes were cGrtained close,
And on her lip her dreams bloomed fair
As On her cheek the rose.
The little rosy apples leaned
Between the leaves TO see;
TIE hlackbird, by the pear bough screened.
Exchanged glance with me;
Tie sunshine strove to part the boughs
And kiss her sleeping eyes,
But turned back toward the house,
For 1, for once, was wise!
