"He has never been called on the

contracts with en try men. bis timber

paid 8. Benson, tlmbennan, in an in
teresting sketch of the Portland good
roads advocate and philanthropist con
tained In the, October Sunset. O. H.
fearnhlll Is the author. Of Mr. Ben
son the author writes:
One daT a counls of laborers walk-
Ink through the woods of western Ore
gon met another lumberjack going in
the opposite direction. When asked
where he was going the latter replied
"Benson's camp." &
fNo use going there," warned one
of: the first-named workmen. Ws
haT just been there and they won't

ble in getting a Job since he began
working for bis board and clothes at
irut age or iz. inac was in norwajr,
lust So years aeo. Four years later
he came to America, where he was so
tmccemtttul in finding work and in cav
ing and investing the proceeds thereof
that when the above conversation oc
curred he not only owned the camp
to which he was going but also sev
eral million dollars' worth or the but
rooAdlnr timber.
How did it happen that two of these
log-punchers were out of a Job and
the other a millionaire? It didn't ex
actly happen, so far as the latter was
concerned. It was the result of many
years of the hardest kind of work, di
rected by keen foresight and good
judgment.
Worked Kong and Bard,
T never took anythlnK for granted.'
said Mr. Benson, "but thoroughly and
carefully Investigated every nrooosi-
tlon before deciding upon a course of
action, then went ahead and stuck to
It, regardless of what others said. I
' generally got on the Job a little ahead
of the other fellows and stayed a little
longer than the rest,"
Simon Benson's wealth Is tainted
with nothing worse than perspiration
generated by pulling a cross-cut saw,
skinning 'a yoke of oxen or rolling
logs with a cant-hook. He has never
been called , on the carpet by the in
terior wtm"" BM"trtiJy-r,"-ments
and questionable contracts with
dummy entrymen, his timber deals
being simply cash purchases from
bona-fide owners. Like most of Amer
ica's self-made men, he is a graduate
of the University of Hard Knocks.
having taken a seven-years' course in
the woods of Wisconsin. At the age
ot 18 he started a store at Lynivllle
and married Miss Rather Searle. Los
ing nearly everything by fire,' the
young couple came west and the hus
band took a post-graduate course in
logging on the lower Columbia river.
A few years later, for the benefit tf
the wife's health, they moved to Col
fax, Washington, where Benson aga!n
lost all his property and also his dear
ly beloved wife.

With nothing to. show for nearly
20 years of hard work, the plucky
Scandinavian returned to Oregon with
his three little children and started
a small logging camp on the Colum
bia, opposite Kalama, In lour years

to the other side of the river, a large
camp was managed so successfully
tiiat at the end of five yens a his cap
ital block amounted to tu,uou. xne
daily output was increased to 800,000
feet and about $3,000,000 earned in
the next dozen years. All surplus
capital was invested in timber land
until over 70. miles of this sort of
real estate had been acquired. There
was enough saw-timber on the s-tract
to mane 2,000,000,000 feet of lumber
. 6000 tralnloads. A 9500.000' logging
plant and railroad waa built in tnt
timber and at Ban Diego a $400,000
sawmiu was constructed. People rid
iculed the idea of building a sawmill
1000 miles from timber, but th Ven
tura proved very successful. The
cost oi logging was reduced $1.50
per thousand by substituting donkev
engines for oxen, and by using ocean
rafts the logs were transported to
southern California $2.60 per thou
sand cheaper than the railroad could
haul them. This meant a saving of
$10,000,000 in marketing the amount
of timber on Mr. Benson's own land,
due to bis constructive improvements
-in me lumoer industry. .

The Iron constitution of the veteran
maicerman at last gave : way under
