The election at this ballot ing of Frank Woods for commissioner was not unexpected. nor was the po- sition of Mayor Young below MT. Corpstein a matter for great surprise. The COrpstein lead was predicted be- fore half a day had passed.
 The ballots at the coming city cleo tion will carry the names of Corpstein and Young fer mayor and those or Jones and Cisney for the remaining thrilled commissionership. Jones and Cisney ran very close together, there being difference of only six votes, in Jones favor.

GOOD OUTLOOK
FOR LUMBER
ALL LOCAL MILLSPLAN SEASON CUT
From Present Indications 600 Men Will
Be Given Employment in County
Business Stimulated

While there is that indefiniteness
that attaches generally to the industry
at the present time, the outlook for
local lumber mills has not ben better
since the winter of 1906 and 1907.
Judging from indications and from the
expressions of managing officers of
local lumber companies, the activity in
the forests of Hood River County will
be more marked this season than on
any year since 1907, when high tide
was reached here. Unless some unfor-
seen disturbance shakes the market all
three of the larger Hood River county
plants-that of the Oregon Lumber
Co., at Dee; The Wind River Lumber
Co. at Cascade Locks; and the Stanley
Smith Lumber Co., at Green Point
will run. The capacity of these mills
and men employed are respectively as
follows: Oregon Lumber Co.. 200
men and $50. 600 feet, daily capacity;
Wind River Lumber Co.. 80 men and
capacity of l20. 900 feet; Stanley-Smith
Lumber Co.. 1875 men md daily capac-
ity of so 0n0 feet.
A half dozen smaller plants. the ca
pacity of which are as follows, are
making plans to run: Minans mill,
Dee, 10 600 feet. 20 men; Davenport
mill, Dee, $4,000 feet, 30 men; Hood
River Forest Products Co., 40 men,
owned by E. V. Schiller, W. II. Hicks,
the Pine Grove Box Co. and ]. R. Phil
lips.
The mill of the Hood River Forest
Products Co., which was only huilt last
summer, was operated until the latter
part Of December, when the tiume of
the Stanley Smith, in which its lumber
was transported to the o w. K & N.
Company's lire at Ruthton, became
frozen. This plant will begin the run
again just as soon as thaw comes.
A evidences point to a big run at
tie Dee mill of the Oregon Lumber
Co.. which is driven by electricity.
During the past several wears the mill.
Guri & the periods of low water, has
been fol ced to shut down a portion of
each day, the power being generated
from the waters of the East and Middle
FORKS of Hood River. Men are now
engaged in installing huge steam tur-
bine which will enable the plant to be
operated at full capacity at all seasons.
He Cu5t VI tue tuTUiUe, WUlCU Will
generate 1000 horsepower, will reach
$50, 600
The mill of the Oregon Lumber Co.
and the other two large plants of the
Valley will be started early in the
spring.
"The off-shore and coastwise mills
are all looking for booming busi-
ness, says j. E. Robertson, manager
of the Stanley-Smith Co., "lhis has
tendency to boost our business, and
we are looking for satisfactory orders
from the interior"
During the cutting season of 1912,
the last year of any considerable ship
ments, the daily average of lumber
routed from Hood River county points
on the U-W. K. & N. reached l2 car
loads.
The bright outlook in the lumber in
dustry has tendency to stimulate all
local business. Seventy FIVE per cent
of the 600 laburers who will be engaged
the coming spring aud sumner, will
come from the outside. They will be
provisioned by county merchants.

PNEUMONIA FATAL
TO JOHN OFTEN

John Often, one of Hood Rivers best
known men, who two weeks ago was
apparently in the best of health, passed

considerable fortune.
Because of the hardships of his
younger days, when be WAS getting q
start in the business world, Mr. Often
mad becume thoroughly drilled in the
lessons of practical economy. de could
not stand waste. No man was a close r
observer of public affairs, conducting
mis- quiet investigations that he might
render a saving TO the taxpayers of
city or county. Mr.. Often was, per-
haps, not underst TODD at his full worth,
except by his close friends. Never
was Mr.. Often asked to contribute
toward worthy case of charity that
ne refused.
Mr.. Often was a member of all 10 al
Masonic organizations. His funeral
tuesday at the State street home was
IN charge of the local Lodge. A. F.
and A. M. He was native of Ger
many, having been born December l6,
1852, at Hanover. When Mr.. Often
was two years old the family came to
America. settling near Pekin, Ill.
At the age of 26 years MIR. Often
went from Illinois to Tacoma. Wash.
Two years later he entered business 80
a mercbnat at Snohomish, continuing
there for 20 years. 1t was in this city
that his second marriage occurred 28
years ago. Two years alter he and
Mrs. Often were wed, Mr.. Often be-
came member of the Masonic lodge.
After leaving Snohomish, Mr.. Often
went to Boise. lda., and later to Santa

years ago, removing to hood River,
where Mr.. Often became interested in
business property.
Out of respect for the deceased all
business houses of the city we're closed

While it has never been the lot of
Mr.. Olinger to arrest any desperate
criminals, his life has not been devoid
of thrills for on several occasions he
has single handed made the capture of
burglars in local stores. He has never
failed in bis duty. and. judging by the
character of the man, he would have
been nothing daunted by the most no.
torious and bold criminal.
Several years ago burglar entered
the store of Frank A. Cram. The
burglar was making bis getaway when
discovered. MIR. Olinger was the first
officer on the scene. he gave chase,
and following the man under On old
building captured him. When he was
searched all of the money stolen from
the cash drawer, with the exception of
81 pennies. was found. Going back to
the old building Mr.. Olinger scratched
around in the rubbish under the floor
and found every last cent.
As Joe Day is known and respected
in Portland, SO is Mr.. 0linger passing
the shady side of his life in the little
Apple City. The law abiding have no
fear of him, but woe to the man who
has transgressed.
Mr.. Olinger is lifelong Republican,
and he is strong exponent of military
preparedness.

The expenses of the work of the

heavy as estimated. A levy of quar-
