ERE you to go over to Tilla mook you might find the orig inal of the picture published herewith sitting out in front of his residence, which is located three miles east of the Tillamook courthouse. Should you hail him with a "hello" or "howdy," you would get back a welcoming response In a clear voice of an apparently middle-aged man, and yet Mr. Randall, the subject of this sketch, passed his 97th milestone on the road of life on July 10. Mr. Randall is at present visiting in Portland, or rather he is here with his daughter, Mrs. Henry Olds, and her husband, who are temporarily liv ing nn the Linnton road near the Standard Oil plant. They came here upon recommendation of their physi cian for the benefit. of the health of his daughter, but as she is recovering rapidly they will probably soon re turn to Tillamook. I spent a couple of hours in the Olds home in questioning the old vet eran, who was lying on a lounge suf fering from the heat, for the ther mometer was backing and filling in the upper 90s. But he is as spry and his memory as clear as many a man in the meridian of life, and if he does not meet with an accident he seems destined to live to get well past the century mark. H was born in 1823, near Pittsburg, and lived there with his parents until he was about 6 years old. James Monroe was presi dent, serving his second term, at that time. Only four presidents preceded Morroe Washington, Adams, Jeffer son and Madison. He has lived through 23 full four-year presidential terms and a part of two more. Only eight terms preceded his birth. There are but few persons, perhaps no other In Oregon, who can look back to so early a day in the history of our country. Klrst Karat Near Chicago. When 1 asked Mr. Randall how old he was when he left the Pittsburg neighborhood, he replied. Big enough to fight with a bear for a pig." H.e explained by saying a pig got out of the yard and he followed it Into the brush and was pulling it back by the tall when a bear- appeared and cap tured the pig! He was taken to I place near Erie, on the lake, when 6 or 7 years old, then to Springfield, In 1S34. He had five brothers and four sisters, "I was the middle kid, he said. His father followed farming generally. When Mr. Randall was 21 years old he wenf to farming 40 miles south of Chicago, and was married there. One child was born to this union. He procured a divorce in Che boygan. Mich., two years later. He then lived for brief periods in Illinois and Wisconsin and in 1852 went to Iowa, settling near Raccoon Forks, with the snow two feet deep. With two of his brothers they were joined by Bill. George and Joseph Perkins and all started for Oregon. They had several yoke of oxen, three spans of horses, a hack and wagons. ro others joined them on the trip.

All of the Randall kin are Jersey fanciers save one Jack Rupp, "who is a derned Holstein," said the old gentleman as he laughed heartily. Mr. Randall thinks" his general health and longevity are due largely to the climate of Tillamook, "I like Portland and all parts of Oregon, but Tillamook is the place for long life, happiness and prosperity. I would have been- dead a score of years ago, more than that, had I lived in the Willamette valley. But I will live maybe to be 150 in glorious Tilla mook," he said.

Madsen, Xatlve of Xor- way, Seeks RJgJits Only to Get License to Fish. Citizenship was denied yesterday by Circuit Judge Gatens to a man who thought so lightly of it that he could live in the United States for 39 years without troubling to rpply for nat uralization papers until he found them of benefit in getting work or a fishing license. He was Conrad C. Madsen. aged 66. and a native of Nor way. Investigation by V. W. Tomlinson federal examiner, convinced him that the only reason Madsen. who lives at 488 Kirby street, desired his papers at this time was to get a license to fish at Astoria, such licenses being re fused aliens. "A man whose- motives are based only on the desire to get some spe cial business advantage and who has neglected his privileges for nearly half a century does not deserve the rights of citizenship," said Judge Gatens as he denied the application of Madsen. Though Henry Wolf, a Pole living at 147 Third street had neglected to apply for his papers for 26 years, the bars were lowered in his case because of his excuse that he had worked so hard since coming to this-country LAD IMPLICATES BROTHER Clarence Ward, 16, Arrested as Auto Thief Sent to Juvenile Court.
