FISHING AND TOBACCO.
Pioneer Thinks They Helped Him In
Reaching Green Old Age.

Grant, Mich.-Hinson Cole a pio
ner of Muskegon and Newaygo coun-
ties. who recently passed his one hun
dred and first milestone. thinks that
his green old age is accounted for in
part by the fact that for the last
eighty years he has used tobacco mod
erately and always spent a goodly
share of bis time fishing.
Cole wanted TO enlist for the civil
war; but was turned down by Uncle
Sam, as he was past forty-six years
of age and too old for active duty.
For eighty years Mr.. Cole has enjo. ed
local fame as the leading fisherman
hereabouts.

While all local mills with the excep-
tion of the plant of the Hood River

that we may close up contracts and close
down for the winter. While our mills
in eastern Oregon can operate success

poor work because of the climatic con-

While the lumber business for the
most part shows no marked improve

j. E. Robertson, manager of the
Stanley-Smith Co., says that his com.
pany's plant, which has been idle fol
the past two summers, will be operated
next summer, even though it is unsuc.
cessful in bidding for railway timbers.
The plant of the Forest Products Co.,
located on Phelps creek, is employing
about 80 men. 1t will operate through
out the winter in all probability, ac-
cording to A. A. Lausmann, secretary

The admirable ambition of Colonel
William F. Tucker to return to the &C.
tive list of the army will not be real
ICED. The board of examiners, who
held tests for Col. Tucker last week at
Vancouver barracks, have reported that
while he is normal in many respects,
it is feared that he would not be able
to stand field duty, if called for such
service. Col. Tucker bears his disap-
pointment with fortitude. His offer 10
again give his time and talents to the
country was an evidence of that patri-
otism that inspires practically every
officer who has been in the service. In
the event of war, we shall have here
plenty of men like Col. Tucker ready
and eager to oppose the enemy. The
fear is that the United States, like
Great Britain, will discover its weak.
ness in defense among the hosts of un.
ionized labor, that will neither tigh,
nor work. nor permit others TO work.

was uneventful. Out of the 600 elect
