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

in circumference.
There will bo a free-for all auto
bug race, with a prize of $25.

union locals are accepting orders.
Orders totaling 16.000 pounds are
necessary in order to get the car-

dred pounds delivered here.
Extension of Boundaries Asked.
As forecast in Monday’s Sentinel,
petitions were presented to the city
eonneil Monday night asking for
the extension of the boundaries of
the city to include property to the

Power Line in Danger
London, August 4.—(Special.)—
Fire broke out Bunday morning
along the California Oregon Power
company ’a line south of here. Fire
Warden John Massey and a crew
of men have been fighting it.
The editor of The Sentinel called
at the Masonic home at Forest
Grove a few days ago anil the first
person he met nt the door was
Uncle Jim Whitford.
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.
COOLEY HOME IS BURNED
Family Not Aware of Fire Until
Flames Burst Through.
The J. R. Cooley home on Row
river was completely destroyed by
fire at 1 o’clock Tuesday after-
noon. The family and I a number I
of guests were in the house but
the flames were not discovered
until they burst through i the ceiling
from the upper floor. Only
*
a few
articles were saved.
The flames were communicated
to the barn and this and its con
tents would have been destroyed
except for the assistance of neigh
bors.
There was no explanation of how
the fire started. The house anil
furniture were covered by in-
sura nee.

Gold Taken Here Is
Enough for Rush
Elsewhere
Bigger quantities of free gold
are being taken out of the Bohemia
district than the quantity which
recently started a grand rush of
sourdoughs to the Cassiar district
of northern British Columbia, ac
cording to Joseph L. Brogan, an
operator in the Bohemia district.
Henry Grady came out of the
Cassiar district ' with $50 in free
gold and the rush commenced. Mr.
Brogan and a fellow miner tapped
the rim of Steamboat creek for
a considerable greater number of
ounces of coarse gold than were
brought out by Grady, yet the
sourdoughs rugh off to the far
lands and neglect better prospects

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!
