VOLUME XXX Uncle Jim Is Not Old At 98 Years Anderson & Middleton Put Them selves in Position for Future Large Operations. Nothing startling may be expect- ed immediately as the result of the sale of $700,000 in bonds by the Anderson A Middleton company of Oregon, whose entire operations are being conducted here, according to H. N. Anderson, manager. The sale of the bonds was merely made to cover expenditures already made and to provide for possible future contingencies. This company has already spent large sums of money in improve ments at its two mills here, in putting its railway into condition for large operations, in extending its railway to government timber in the Umpqua forests and in pre paring for future operations. It is under contract with the govern ment to start operations this fall in government timber, its cut to be at the rate of 40,000,000 feet an nually for 10 years. While applica tion has been made for an exten sion of a year’s time before opera tions must be started, the govern ment has not granted the extension. In case the extension of time is granted, the starting of operations in the government ■ timber will lie delayed a year. This company has several other largo stands of timber in the Row river section. It is at present cleaning up the timber in its upper Rujadn camp, operations having been resumed there a week ago. It also has a considerable quantity of timber tributary to its Culp creek camp. The mortgage given as security for the big bond issue is one of the largest ever filed in the county clerk’s office. The security cov ered by the mortgage includes tho two mills of the company with a daily capacity of 210,000 and valued at *317*000; 408,035,000 feet of timber valued at $1,224,105, apd bonds and stocks of the Oregon Pacific A Eastern railway valued at $300,000. Revenue stamps totaling $350 nnd a filing fee of $40 were required for the recording of the mortgage. The officers of the company are 8. M. Anderson, president; W. H. Abel, vice-president; G. E. Ander son, secretary; H. N. Anderson, Jr., treasurer; A. W. Middleton and Henry N. Anderson. AUTO POLO ON SUNDAY Sunday’s Program at Calapooya Is to Be Full of Thrills.

He is as spry as the day he left here for the home and said that he had conducted 12 parties through the home that day. “Getting well along in years, aren’s you, Uncle Jimi’’ the editor asked. “Oh, I’m not old yet,’’ Uncle Jim coun tered, “but if I live to October 30 I shall be 98 years of age.’’ He is the youngest person at the home so far as actions and clear ness of eye go and has no doubt that he is going to live out a full century. “John Quincy Adams was president when I was born,’’ Uncle Jim informed the editor.

When winter covers plain and hill With mantle white and all is still; When day is done; when shadows fall And thru the night there comes a call To fireside and to friends once more; When grief comes tapping at the door; When memories begin to seem More precious than youth’s fondest dream And age takes many things away That filled the hours of yesterday— Ah, then it is that one can see How strong the ties of home should be! 3 I pray that we shall learn to know, As years so swiftly come and go, That home grows dearer every day Oh, let’s enjoy it while we may!
