of the season and they put up one of
the classiest games ever played in this
city. During the first half, the visit
ors put up a plucky defense, though
there was no doubt after the first five
minutes as to which five would win.
Their opponents could do nothing with
Ring and Connell, when the latter had

threw one foul while the visiting five
made two baskets and threw three
fouls. Brown of Marquette and Sher-
wood of Calumet made excellent Off
cials and the game was cleanly played.

BURIED IN The SAND.

Louis Cretons of Gladstone narrowly
escaped serious injury or death when
caught under a caving bank of sand in
the basement Of his saloon. To re-
pair a bursted water pipe Mr.. Cretons
had dug a big hole and was at work
in the excavation when a street car
passed In front of the building. The
jarring of the ground loosened the
sand and the entire bank caved in
upon the worker. He was buried to his
shoulders. All efforts to pull him from
the hole failed until men had dug
about his body and considerable time
was consumed in that work. He was
finally taken out, weak from exhaus-
tion.

new OREGON ROAD
Is COMPLETED
LINE KNOWN AS THE OREGON
TRUNK OPENS UP VAST,
sPARSELY SETTLED
REGION.

Portland Ore. Feb. 94.-John f.
Stevens, formerly chief engineer Of
the Panama Canal has just completed
a railroad into the interior of Oregon,
being tho oregon Trunk, a Hill road,
OF which Mr.. Stevens is president. The
l'ne runs south from the Columbia
River, up the Deschutes and opens a
vast region as yet little known to the
outside world and sparsely settled. In
discussing the future Of this territory,
great in extent, Mr.. Stevens said:
Lying entirely within the state of
Oregon are over 100000 square miles
Of undeveloped territory of which at
least one-half Is capable of high agri-
cultural development and all of the
remainder possesses rich timber re-
sources or is able to provide range for
countless herds and hocks
practically this important part of
the capital of the nation has lain idle
through past years, when all other
sections of the Northwest have been
benefited and the reason why this
particular section has fingered in the
dark ages is not hard TO find. II is
that there is hardly a mile of railroad
in all this vast expense.
"The cost Of transportation has
made it impossible to produce within
its borders anything of marketable
value, excepting wool. that has not
less to walk out OF the country All
this, however, viii be changed Much
Of the land Of value has passed to the
hands of private owners. and much
Of it is locked up by our entire acad-
emic and visionary forestry policy, so
that the actual settler finds condi-
tions different from those in Montana
and the Dakotas.
Besides. the country being essen
TALLY a semi-arid one, successful agri-
culture must be pursued along lines
to which most of our farmers are
strangers. Many failures will. prob
ably, be recorded. hut the opportunity
is there, only needing intelligent labor.
with limited capital to succeed. The
unfavorable conditions will change. the
settlers through intelligence and ex-
perience will adopt their methods to
the country. and the result. will. VEN
ture TO predict, be ultimately a great
success and thousands OF producers
will add their share to the wealth of
this great state"

Native of Germany.

Born at Neidersaulheim, a hamlet OF
southern Germany, in 1884, he worked
as farm laborer until his eighteenth
year, when he made up his mind to
seek his fortune in land where free
dom played a more prominent part
than it did in south Germany at that
time. SO in 1852, accompanied by his
mother and sisters, he crossed the
ocean.
Settling first in Erie Pa, he found
work in a brewery, but migrated four
years later to Rock Island, Ill.,, where

than a year he owned the MILL In a

Denckman, Weyerhauser found a fell
low countryman, destined in after
years to be a close ally in all his
schemes and enterprises. Together
they bought the other men out of the
business. and soon found themselves
free of debt and with enough capital
to enable them to strike out with
boldness and confidence.
From the time he acquired his first
sawmill until the present life of Mr..
Weyerhauser has been a slow, unceas-
ing, steady grind of buying timber
cheap, selling it at a profit, then ac-
quiring still larger tracts. He first
visited Wisconsin and Minnesota,
where he discovered lands. rich in
timber, that could be purchased for a
few cents an acre. He and his partner
bought the lands. Sawmills were con-
structed, and money began to roll in
fast

Fortune Began to Climb.

Mr.. Weyerhauser, as the leading
spirit I'm the partnership. created the
little known and mysterious "Weyer-
hauser syndicate" which soon was ac-
knowledged by the lumber world to be
the most powerful factor i'm the trade.
The Mississippi River Boom and Log
ging company, of which he was elect

Master of the marvellous forests in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and in

them on the rivers. the price of saving
them and the price of the finished pro-
duct.
And in all this, he Stunned publicity
like the Grand Llama OF Thibet.
Though possessed apparently Of an
unquenchable ambition. he has never
made display of his wealth. The
simple life of their earlier days has
satisfied him and his family. He has
never cared for yachts. automobiles,
fast horses and other luxurics common
to the millionaire class. His four sons
all received excellent educations. but
