Ifotable Career Recited. Oray templss at twenty? Tea, white If you please Where the snow-flakes fall thickest There's nothing to frees." Or. Holmes. BT THOMAS B. MERRY. B. G. Whitehouse is a link of the new Portland with tha old one, when the only waysout of the city or Into It was by stage or steamer. Most of his early friends have crossed the shadowy river, but he still walks over our streets hale and hearty; and, to use the language of one of his pioneer friends, he "blooms unfaded like a- big sunflower." . His career In this city has been both long and eventful. He waa born at Boston. Mass., In 1834, and arrived In Portland then little more than an overgrown village In 18S9. Shortly after hla arrival he entered the employ of 8. N. Arrlgonl as clerk in the Pioneer Hotel at the foot of Stark street. In 1860 Lansing Stout, then member of Congress from this state. procured the establishment of a daily mall line from this city to Sacramento, Cel.. and Mr. Whitehouse was appointed agent of the company by George F. Thomas, then resident manager of the California Sc Oregon Stage Company. He continued In the employ through four changes of ownership until the comple tion of a continuous line of railways hsnoa to San Francisco In 1ST! Ths fare was then $60 to Sacramento, and tha schedule time seven days. The stagea were taken across the river on a small double-end ferry-boat operated by Joseph Knott and his sons, all three of whom ars now dead; and the pro pelling power waa a treadmill, operated by two big brown mules called Jack and Jennie.. Xo Holdups Reported. Nothing speaks so forcibly for the character of those by whom Oregon and Northern California were populated In the daya beyond recall as the fact that. In a period rf over 10 years while Mr. Whitehouse was the agent of that com pany, not a single holdup took place on Its entire line. The driver was the sole custodian of all the persons and proper ties carried on those big four-horse coaches; and there were times when he was the sole occupant of the vehicle. And up to lbT2 there were Immense quantities of gold dust and coin carried on those stages, sometimes more than J70.000 in a single meek. From Jackson ville to Myrtle Creek, a distance of nearly W milee, there waa almost a continuous series of placer mining camps. It la impossible that people ahould not have known of the Important and valuable contents of the stages, but no robbery ever took place or was even attempted. The first waterworks In the city were constructed of wooden pipe by Robert Pentland, a resident of The Dalles, who sold them to Leonard & Green. Shortly afterwarda Henry D. Green came out from New Tork. He had some experi ence aa a civil engineer, and under hla direction the wooden pipes were all taken up and replaced with Iron. It was Just before the younger Green's arrival that Mr. Whitehouse entered the employ of Leonard A Green as cashier. Shortly afterwards this enterprising firm began the construction of gaa works near the foot of Flanders street, under the title of Portland Gas Light & Water Company, their office being later on Btark street adjoining the banking house of Ladd & Tllton. whence it removed In 1SU1. Coal Gas Made. Under the conditions by which gas n.htin. mtmm etstahllshed here, the gas waa made from coal from Nanalmo, B. C, at a cost or jib a ton. ino pneo of gas was 110 for 1000 feet. Mr. Whlte v.n... v. . . wttTiMaeA a remarkable devel opment In this matter. The water works, with their magnincenuy-equippou niant situated on the river bank, four milea south of here, were sold to tbs city in lasi. leaving me n company tha sole tenant of the little office on Btark street, and Mr. White house has lived to see gas made from oil at a cost of 1 per 1000 to the con sumer. Not only that, but ha haa seen the number of consumers increase from 40 to upwards of tt.000, and the mains Increase from one mile of mains to up wards of 425 miles. Not only that, but ths number of employes has increased from a dosen to over 800, counting the labor force In with the clerical portion. All this waa worth having lived for. He says thst while there have been occasional complaints from an exacting and oftentlmea unreasonabls public, ho has dwelt In continual sunshine with his smployes and those employed with him.

All this Is the result of cheap gaa, which has grestly lowered the ex pense of housekeeping In Portland and enabled our people to live aa they should "one day last week Mr. Whitehouse was called Into the office of Guy W.

Decisions Last Resort. In matters of dispute over rulings in Masonic disciplinary cases, he has been appealed to on numerous occasions and his decisions have never been set aside or even disputed. Mr. Whitehouse Is also one of the trustees and executors In the estate of John Green, deceased, who. though not the richest man In Portland at the time of his death, had more ready money than any other man in the state. In his domestic relations this worthy pioneer of Portland has been exception ally happy. His good wlfo and he cele brated their golden wedding some three years ago. and congratulations poured In upon them from all parts of the state, wishing them health and happiness as life's twilight shadows close in around them.

His eldest daughter man-ied Henry S. Hostetter. of Washington, D. C, and the youngest daughter is married to Edward Brown, auditor of the North Pacific Terminal Company, of this city. Although relieved from active duty in the Gas Company, Mr. Whitehouse will be found daily at hla old deck and at tending to whatever personal business may come up. Never prominent in po litical matters, he has afforded to the men of his day and generation a shining example of the old adage that "the post of honor is the private station." His long residence in our midst and his familiarity with the growth and develop ment of both the city and the state have made him almost an oracle on historical matters in Oregon. In closing this little tribute to a worthy man and an oA personal friend, it is no exaggeration to say that he knows of no man whose life more clearly eluci dates the value of good citizenship.
