St. Paul, Minn.', Feb.' 23-rAJthous
Frederick Weyerhauser, the billion
aire lumberman who Is reported criti
cally ill at Pasadena, CaW has made
his home inSL'.Paul for many y:art
i-9 is almost as little known to the
people of this city as to the public in
general. And this despite the fact th.it.
he is believed to be th? richest man
n the United States, richer probably
hy some millions of dollars than John
r. Rockefslleh whose name is syn
oromous for .rtebes in almost ev-ry
nart of th?, civilized world. Weyerhaus
erlth b.!s timber land possessions
aggregating 80,000,000 acres, is said to
be worth t lose to $1,250,000,000 which
at the present rate of advance In lum
ber is Increasing by leaps and bounds.
The personality of Frederick Wey
erhauser is litti? known. He Is a re
cluse and his own business associa
tes tsvb r.err i,xi his secrets. His
home life in this city is quiet and sim
ple. Even to thos; who know him best
he Is a living puzzle, an enigma, a mys
tery,
' Born at Neidersaulhelm, a hamlet
of southern Germany in 1834. he work
ed as a farm laborer until his 18th
year, when he mad up his mind to
seek his fortune in a land wheire 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 Bock Island, 111. where
he got employment at $1 a day piling
slabs In a sawmill. In a little more
than a year he owned the mill. In a fel
low worker at the mill, F. C. A Denck-
raan. Weyerhauser found a fellow
countryman, destined in after years
to be a clofe fly 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 confi
dence. From the time he acquired his first
sawmill untilthe present the life of
Mr. Weyerhauser has been a slow, un
ceasing, steady grind of buying tim
ber cheap, selling it at a profit, then
acquiring still larger tracts. He first
visited Wisconsin and Minnesota,
wher? he discovered lands, rich In tim
ber that could be purchased for a few
cents an acre. He and his partner
bought the lands. Sowmills were' con
structed, and money began to roll in
fast.
Mr. Weyerhauser, as the leading
pnlrlt In the partnership, created the
Utile known and mystrrlous "Weyer
hauser syndicate" which soon was
soon acknowledged by the lumber
world to be the moBt powerful factor
In the trade, he Mississippi River
Boom and Tagging company of, which
he was elected president In the early
eighties, has always been the base of
his known transactions.
Master of tie marvelous forests In
Minnesota. Wisconsin, Michigan and In
Washington and other states In the far
Northwst. Weyerhauser In time came
to control most of the logging done on
the Mississippi. He was able to fix
the price of logs, the price of hand
ling them on the rivers. 4he price of
sawing thcm. and the price of the fin
ished product. t
And In all this, he shunned publl-
j dtv like the Grand Llama of Thibet.
Thoireh posssessed annarentlv of an
unquenchable ambition, he has never
made 11ulav of h's wealth. The
slmnle life of their earlier davg has
satisfied h'm ind his family. He ha

battery are practically unlimlt'd, a
mule can reach places almost inac
cessible to man.
The gun used is almost universally
of 2.95 inch bore, and fires two sizes
of shells, weighing 12.5 and 18 pound
lespecrively. Thfse guns are short
and stubby, being only 31 Inches in
lengtl They are effective at 4.000
yards, which, considering the short
ness of the barrel, is a remarkable
d-monstration of the advance in artill
ery since the Civil War.
In a level country this gun may
be hauled by a mule, but In the hills
It is always taken down and the var

different pack mules. The gun barrel

Intended to plant young trees this

that trees thoroughly sprayed with
