19 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, JULY 21, 1918 AGED MAN IS LOST IN CASCADE WILDS Henry A. French, 70, Believed to Have Perished Near Monte Cristo, Wash. LONG SEARCH FRUITLESS Former Resident of Portland Goes Into Woods With Camera, but Falls to Return to Inn Son Will Continue Hunt. Henry A. French, 70 years old, a resi dent of Portland for 25 years, la lost and probably dead In the Cascade Moun tains near Monte Cristo, "wash. air. French, who was staying at Cass- crest Inn at Monte Cristo. went out for trip through the woods with his oam ra on the morning of July 16 and has net been seen since. Searching parties wets rKanized late in the same after noon and the woods were scoured until luta at nieht. but no traces were louno. TVie next dav. with the assistance of fprest rangers, the Sheriff of Snohomish County and his deputies and numerous townspeople, the search was continued. but without success. L,. H. French, the lost man's eon, was ent for, and he took up the hurt on Thursday. Bloodhounds were brought from the State Reform School at Mon roe, Wash., and the whole country was thoroughly scoured. Fearing that Mr. French had fallen Into some falls near . the inn, the searching party let down men from above a distance of 60 feet. Ky this means the pools at the foot of tbge falls were examined, but no trace of clothing was found. Son Will Search Again. Xj. H. French has returned from Monte Cristo almost without hope of ever see- Jnsr his father again. "Everything pos- eible was done by the people of Monte Cristo to find my father," said he. "While I have little hope, I shall return to the mountains to make another search. My father had been in the habit of making daily excursions Into the woods with his camera, as he was fond of taking pictures, and had never had the slightest difficulty on the mountain trails before. The morning he went away he carried a large cam era, a tripod, a cover for the camera, a plate case and a dinner pail. He was in normal health, though he was suf fering somewhat with asthma, and his visit to Casscrest Inn was made on this account. "As he went up the mountain trail at 8 o'clock, he was passed by two women, also going up the trail. Thty ssked him to take their pictures on the glacier above. He told them he could not- walk as fast as they, but that he woald follow them up. He did not ar rive at the glacier, and when they re turned to the inn at 3 o'clock he was not there. A search party was Imme diately organized and the hunt con tinued up to the present, but without success. Monte Cristo Country Hona;h. Mr. French had lived In Portland for to years. He was formerly an employe of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. Curing the past year he lived at Bellrose Station, near Gresham. Among the people who assisted in the? search for Mr. French are F. M. Gregory, Deputy Sheriff of Snohomish County; F. D. Smith, of the Monroe Reform School, who had charge of the bloodhounds; J. M. Keyes, of Monte Cristo; A. G. Hannah, forest ranger of Silverton Station, who joined in the search with 10 rangers; officials and men of the Casscrest Mining Company and Dr. tr. . Casseday, of the Cass crest Inn. The country around Monte Cristo Is vepy rough and rocky. -Twenty years ago there were large mining operations going on around the town. Rockefeller Is said to have taken over two million dollars out or his mining properties theu-e. une whole district is honey- conjbed with old prospect holes from 60 to 200 feet deep, many of which are fulV of water. It is quite possible that Mr French fell into one of these holes, though there were none on the trail on which he was walking at the time he was last seen. Public Library Notes. rrHERE Is much exercise of Individ X quality in choosing a book-plate-Just as in choosing books themselves or , era vats It is such an Intimate personal expression of taste. One chooses an artistic design with th trench phrase, "Lesbons llvres sorit desbonsamis." another chooses the symmetrical outline of a fountain with birds playing about It; a third, a landscape effect of sharply pointed fir.trees against a background of low hanging clouds: another, a curtained window, with books beneath through tna. parted curtains of which may be seen the vista of a winding road. , companions wno neither vary nor renounce," Is the tribute to books on on4 book-plate. On another above an "open book is the Inscription "Old books to read, old prints to scan, old wood to carve, old friends to greet. A pile of books, a Roman lamp In tertwined with laurel.
