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.
On reaching The Dalles In the fall
of 1852 they crossed the north bank
and came down as far as a point op

few settlers in the county only five
when he went there first in 1861.)
None of them had more than five or
six cows.
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.

Sixteen aliens were admitted to
citizenship yesterday by Judge Gatens
and examinations will be continued
Monday when about 60 applicants are
to be examined.
Conrad C. 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
