IS DEAD
I
Robert D. Inman, Portland lumber
man and president of the Inman-Poul-scn
Lumber company, and whose life
had been identified with the indus
trial development of this city for the
last 40 years, died at St. Vincent's
hospital yesterday at 9:30. following
a major operation for ear trouble last
Friday. .
Mr. Inman had been reported out
of danger following the operation and
consequently it was a shock to his
relatives and friends when the turn
for the worse came Monday night.
Mr. Inman was known throughout
the country for his mill, the Inman
Poulsen plant, which is considered one
of the largest and most up-to-date
plants of the kind in the west.
His life was one In which the ro
mance of the west was woven from
the beginning. He knew the dan
gers of the long trail westward, the
thrill of the Indian attack, the toil
of a tie cutter and an engineer.
With the adventurous spirit of the
typically western man, he hewed his
own successful career, making him
self known as one of the leaders of
industry of the northwest.
Mr. loman Born In Ohio
A native of Ohii, Mr. Inman was
born in Miami county, near Piqua.
August 11. 1853, being the oldest
child of Mr. and Mrs. Asa Inman.
Mr. Inman's father fell at the battle
of Shiloh while defending the stars
and stripes.
At the age of S Mr. Inman began
his career as a tow-boy on the old
Ohio canal. He was bound out by
his mother to W. H. Davidson, a pio
neer who came west in 1865 with a
large train of immigrants to. the Pa
cific coast. The trip lasted seven
months, and at Rock Creek the mem
bers of the party were attacked by
Indians and six persons were killed.
On his .arrival in Oregon, Mr. Inman
worked for a time on a farm in
Washington county. Later, In June,
1869, he located in Portland, where
he was employed by the "west side
road" cutting ties. He next obtained
a position with the Oregon & Cali
fornia railroad, serving his time from
brakeman to fireman. After sever
ing his connection with the railroad
lie became identified with the John
Wilson circus, remaining with the
exhibition for two years. A year
thereafter was spent in the employ
of G. W. Shaver, and in 1S75 Mr.
Inman entered the employ of the
Willamette Steam mills. He soon
was promoted to a position in the
machinist department, where he re
mained for seven years.
Mechanical Ability Developed.
During this time he developed A
remarkable mechanical ability, which
was probably inherited from his
father, and later, when he became
associated with the Northern Pacific
Lumber, company as one-quarter
owner and director, he was well qual
ified for the superintendent of the
construction of the new mill and the
placing of the machinery. In 1899
he resigned his directorship and sold
his interest in the company, having
been identified with the concern for
seven years.
Mr. Inman s next venture in the
lumber industry, of which he was a
thorough master, occurred in 1890,
when, in partnership with Johan
Pouisen, the Inman-Poulsen Lumber
company was incorporated with Mr.
Inman as president and Mr. Pouisen
as secretary and treasurer. The mills
were constructed in 1889 and in 1890
the lumber business was inaugurated
which has eince developed into one
of the largest on the Pacific coast
To Mr. Inman is due the credit for
a number of important patents,
among them being a power set works
for setting out the log on the car
riage.
Aside from his connection with
milling matters, Mr. Inman wae va
riously associated with business, po
lltlcal and social affairs of the city
and state. In 1892 he was elected
to the state legislature and so well
did he serve his constituents that he
was elected to the state senate on
the citizens' ticket in 1900.
In addition to his other Interests
Mr. Inman was a director in the
Merchants' National bank when this
institution was in existence, a mem
ber of the Chamber of Commerce, and
for six years he served as water co
mlssioner. He was a member of the
Masons, holding membership with
Harmony lodge and Al Kader Temple.
Ie was also a member of the Hoo
lloos. of which organization he
served as state snark for two terms
and one term was on the supreme
nine. He was also identified with
the Portland Rowing club and the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic club.
While he was in the political field
Mr. Inman was a candidate for mayor
of the city against Judge George H.
Williams. He was defeated by
small margin In one of the most bit
terly contested elections in the his
tory of the city. His last public
activity was as chairman of the Port
of Portland commission.
His widow, two daughters and a
stepdaughter are the only surviving
relatives. The daughters. Miss Minnie
Myrtle and Miss Ivy Frances Inman,
make their home in Boston. The step
daughter is Miss Alta ilansf ield-ln-man.
The body la at Flnley & Son's
chapel. Definite arrangements for
the funeral have not yet been made.
The two daughters were notified of
their father's death yesterday and
started for Portland.
son and Ethan Peabody have signed
up for the pig club and most of the
boys have secured their pigs or will
get them this week, so that work
may be taken up soon in the study
of their care and management.

enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No griping is the "keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab
lets. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.
If you have a "dark brown mouth"
bad breath a dull, tired feeling sick

Hairs Quickly Vanish
After This Treatment
(Helps to Beauty.)
Science has aided in simplifying the
banishing of hairy growiK from the
face, and according to a beauty spe
cialist, the most effective treatment
yet devised consists of applying a
delatone paste to the hairy surface
for two or three minutes. The paste
is made by mixing some water with
a little powdered delatone. When
this paste is removed and the skin
washed every trace of hair has van
ished. Be sure to get real delatone.

Alkali in Shampoos
Bad for Washing H.Jr
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is
very injurious, as it dries the sca.p
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mutsified
cocoanut oil Fhampoo. for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all to pieces. You can get this at
any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in: sbout a teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
