WORKING UP FROM
BOTTOM
EUROPEANS ARRIVE FROM NEW
YORK WITH MANY TRUNKS AND
EARN THEIR LIVING BY MANLY
EFFORTS TO MASTER LUMBER
IN LOGGING CAMP.
The Astoria Chamber of Commerce is
a mine for the short story in the amount
of cood material that passes
through the hands of Manager
sound like "pipe dreams" are of com
mon occurrence through the medium of
the big advertising campaign of the local
organization.
Recently there came to this city from
New York, two young men who had
seen an advertisement in an eastern
paper for lumber camp men in this dis
trict. The men were from Denmark and
bore distinctive evidences of the highest
refinement. One of them was Viggo Von
Holstein and the other was Paul Sigurd
Xeilson, and they came with trunks
enough to stock a show company.
They were anxious to vvork out
side in the air that God had
made for man, rather than work in
officers shut from the sunshine and thetv
song of the birds. They were men
enough not to be afraid to work and
Manager Whyte speedily secured them
jobs in a Washington lumber camp,
where they are rapidly changing blis
ters into the manly evidences of hard
toil. They are as happy as larks, mak
ing their own living, and what their
folks back home would think of them
for 'soiling' their hands with, honest
toil is bothering ihem not a jot. '
The two arrived in New York recently
well stocked with clothes, enough money
to have a good time for a week, and with
a desire to start at the bottom, even
if they never got to the top. They are
now earning more money than they ever
earned before, probably. They are find
ing out something in regard to lumber.
They have fine health, good muscles and
three "squares" a day.
What more could they ask fort They
have youth, strength and the buoyant
spirit of the young and romantic. They
will not do this always, because the
very spirit that made them men enough
to tackle the hard work of a logging
camp will bring them success before
they have reached middle age. And this
was brought about by the insertion of
a small ad in an eastern paper by the
Chamber of Commerce.
