Today. one OF the oldest and most re-
liable business establishments in Astorig
begins new era The retail drug store
owner and operated by Charles Rogers
the widely known druggist, viii hereat
ter be conducted under the firm name OF
Charles Rogers& Son, Mr., Rogers hay
ing taken into partnership with him his
son, c, Lawrence Rogers,
The following brieF sketch OF Mr.
Rogers business career may be interest =
ing; In 1860 Mr. Rogers commenced his
apprenticeship in Peoria, ILL.,, and after
serving his time went to ST, Louis, Mo,
where, after clerking for few years. he
was appointed manager of the East st,
Louis store of VIM. h, Parker, This he
conducted until Mr., Parker retired from
business, Then, after opening and get.
ting on paying basis two stoNs in
Southwest Missouri for Barret \ Hous,
ten, we'll known Missouri druggists, Mr..
Rogers moved 10 Heyena, Montana,
where he worked at his profession until
the great fire OF 1868; after which he
turned his attention to mining in the
Couer ,le'Alene district He left Montana
in 1870 for st. Louis, and while on the
way home played the hero part in a
stage holdup, bringing the stage safely
to the next stopping point. ten miles
from the scene OF the hold-up, after the
driver had been severely wounded, and
after having been shot six times. On
his arrival in st. Louis he opened store
on the corner OF Twentysixth and
Chotean avenue, which he ran for Il
years, when he sold out and took trip
to Europe. On his return to the United
States he made directly for the Pacific
Coast and went to Los Angeles, when he
purchased the Apothecaries' Hall. the
most widely known drug store in that
city After successful business career
in Los Angeles he went to San Francisco
at which place he purchased the much
famed Baldwin Pharmacy; at that time
conceded by everyone TO be the hand
soonest drug store in the United States,
After three years OF active management
he retired to his Sonoma county fruit
ranch for touch OF the simple life.
Finding too much inactivity in this he
came to Astoria, in 1890, and purchased
the business then conducted by ]. c.
Dement,. Since then he has been actively
engagd in businss in this city, and
thinks the "city by the sea" the finest
place in the world in which to make
ones home.
Young Mr. Rogers has had advantages
not afforded to the average young
pharmacist; insomuch as he has been
under the tutelage OF Mr. Rogers, Sr.,
since his eighth year, when he began his
apprenticeship by washing bottles and
polishing show cases. He has all the
advantages OF the Senior Rogers wide
experience and knowledge OF the pro.
fession, combined with the theoretical
knowledge, acquired in the College OF
Pharmacy of the Oregon Agricultural
College-one of the best ard most thor.
ough pharmacy schools on the coast
and of which Mr.. Rogers Jr. is a
graduate.

PROF. STARR, kNTHROPoLoGlsT,
RETURNS TO CHICAGO.
His Researches in Africa Shed New
Light on Pygmies-"cat's Cradle"
Played by American Boys,
Known 10 Natives.

Chicago. - Prof Frederick Starr,
who holds the chair Of anthropolcgy
at the University Of Chicago, has re-
turned after spending Is months
among the pygmies in the heart OF
Africa, and travelling altogether ap-
proximately $1,000 miles.
This trip. by far the longest ever
negotiated by a university professor
engaged in scientific research, was
begun i'm September, 1905, when he
left Chicago for the Congo valley, ac-
companled by Manuel Gonzales. a
young Mexican whom he adopted
some years ago.
Eighteen different peoples were WIS.,
tied in the 25OOO-mile journey up and
down the Congo Free State. The
anthropoliogist would visit a tribe,
live with or near the natives, study
them carefully, take photographs,
gather relics, and then repeat the
process with a nelghboring nation.
His interest was centered particular
ly In the pygmy races and their GUS
toms

the professor, Il expected to have TO
provide canoes and provisions for
much Of the journey. l was, however,
agreeably surprised to find on reach

made the journey easier in many re-
spccts"

natives through whose country he

the Congo tribes are fierce and war

themselves obnoxious and who treat
them kindly. They seem rather TO
