Out In that region wenty many pioneers,' all' the way
from SO to to years ago, and dug Out homes. It was dif

a settler had to burn logs before he eould find roonrtb

ever, .went James and "Jackson Powell, O. Llnneman,

patches of clearings, ons now sees broad, rich farms-
hundreds of them. There Is nd better portion of Oregon
than that lying right at Portland's doors that , between

It Is not alone the ehemical elements

James Henry Smith, New York's rich
est bachelor, who paid $1,000,000 for the
magnificent house of the late William
C Whitney, haa been known as a lav
ish 'entertainer since he entered society
after the death of his uncle, whose for
tune had been unsuspeoted, and which
was added to a fortune which Mr. Smith
had amassed in his brokerage offloe
down town. He Is said to be the largest
single holder of St Paul securities In
the country.
' The social affairs conducted by Mr.
Smith have always been of a sort to be
oome the talk of the season, without
resort to ostentatious display of weird
freaklahness, and now . that he is to
make his home in the palatial residence
designed and furnished by Mr. Whitney,
he will ' become, more than ever a dis
tinguished entertainer.
Mr. Smith was a rich and successful
broker in New York long before the
death of his uncle in 1109, but through
tha Inheritance from that relative he
took .place at onoe as seventh in the
list of rich men in this country. He re
ceived from tbe estate of his uncle $S0,-

This, in addition to the fortune be had
made by his own efforts, at once estab

of New York.
Social success came quickly to Mr.
Smith when he relaxed his business ef
forts and entered upon the enjoyment
of his wealth' and leisure. Mrs. Stuyve

waa sooa recognised as one of the lead
ers In the social clrole of which he be
came a member. ' ,
