preached this spot he invariably
bore off to the other side of the
road, fearing that he might be
turned into the timber road. This
with many other things shows
that the horse had memory, but
one of his unpleasant memories
passes out, since he is absolved
from the timber work.
Among the lumbermen operat-
ing in large way, whose extreme
courtesy enabled us to witness the
the practical operation of the facil-
tiles just referred TO, are Simcoe
Chapman, President of the Chap
man Timber Company; c. c.
Barker, President of the Peninsu-
lar Lumber Company; George R.
Wentworth, President of the Port
land Lumber Company, also Pres
ident of the Bankers and Lumber
mans Bank, organized only last
year, and having amoug its direc-
tors several large lumbermen of
Pennsylvania, whose large fore
sight enabled them from the start
| to see the assured future of this
institution.
Our own small company is in
charge of John E. Dubois, of Du-
Bots, Pa, who owns large body
of timber in the counties of Clat-
sop, Columbia, Washington and
Tillamuth, but principally in Clat-
SOP county With him are Judge
| J. f. Mayors, his counsel, and ].
K. Gamble, his land agent at this
place, c. !. North Of Buffalo, n.
Y, who is associated with him in
property interests in Utah, N. U.
Bond of Bond, Md, who with his
brother, is jointly interested with
Mr.. Dubois in lumber operation
at that place, and the writer We
have had delightful trip. One
of our party is poet. His descrip-
| ton, in verse, of this memorable
trip will probably prove to be his
masterpiece Another is philos-
opher If the observations and
deductions made by him upon this
trip were printed and put in circu-
lation they would probably affect
the sale of Franklin's writing At
least to our company he would be
a formidable competitor of Poor
Richard. A third member of our
company is photographer. He
never was such before this trip.
This he will be able to prove by
the character of the photographs
taken We are obliged to rely for
their idenity with the places taken
upon his assurance that they are
the same. To us they look like
some other places but we are en-
tirely helpless in the matter and
are obliged to rely solely upon his
word
This city has become a metropo-
lis. In it are types of the best
citizenship and the best develop
ment Of the State. Its forestry
building is uniqne and instruc-
tive exhibit of the vast and valua-
bic timber growth of the State.
It's city hall is fine example of
modern architecture and contains
a treasured collection of relics that
came with now departed ances-
try over the Oregon Trail. "
This collection includes old wag-
ons, spinning wheels, weaving
looms, tin lanterns, and other like
reminders of earlier and harder
days. 1t also contains the Sea
Chest of Captain Gray who land
ed at the mouth of Oregon Great
River in 1892, and named it Co.
lumbia in honor of the noble ship
with which he made its discovery.
It's water ways and trolley lines
and steam roads, and its low ele-
walton make every place near and
far tributary to it. It's growth ap-
pears to be quite phenomenal.
But to what end and purposes
all this history and development?
Without the church and its infu
ence it could not have come, and
without them il can neither con.
