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. Is the symbol
Ism of the Vaasar Alumnae Historical
Association on its book-plate. "And all
I ask Is a tall ship and a star to steer
her by." is the legend on another.
A Jester leaning saucily on a table
before which a monk is seated Is the
appropriate design of a book-plate
lor. a collection of humorous books.
Another shows crossed quills above
an: open page candles burning at
either end, suggesting that the owner
is . writer.
Reed College has an Interesting
enieia design bearing -a Latin motto,
the. spirit of which is: "You will pre
eefve liberty, friendship and loyalty.'

Ing- a collection of Interesting book
plates whfch contain the ones de
Bcrmea, ana many otners, which are
being exhibited in the second floor
rotunda at the Library, and Miss Isom
will be glad to receive duplicates of

room collection?
