Mr. Vlllard saw the chance of taking

thing for eastern' capital.
On May 15, 1881, he sent a letter to
the capitalists of the west and to his
financial friends in the east asking
them to Invest $8,000,000 in. a propo
sition that would prove profitable but
about which he was not at liberty to
give any information. Such was the
faith of the public in his honesty and
ability that he raised more than the re

of the men to whom Oregon owes much
tp his farslghted work in Oregon's d"e.
velopment and upbuilding. In speaking
of him Joseph Gaston says: "Ha was a
man of most engaging and genial man

ness or avariciousness of the typical rich
man. No roan was more considerate or
generous in praise and assistance to
those who worked with or under him, or
whose work he made use of. In the
days of his prosperity his purse was
open wide to all works of charity or
benevolence, chief of which In Oregon
was $50,000 to the State university. He
gave a like sum for a home for. the
orphan children of Portland. . No act of
littleness, meanness, oppression, Injus
