the grain milling business. His mother
died when he was 8 years old.
In 1891. when 25 years old, Albers
left Lingen for Portland. Or., with 1000
marks in his pocket. Two of his broth

had fallen into the crevice while at

Mrs. Stone waa found seriously In
jured, lying at the foot of the crevice.
BODY IS LOCATED
Mrs. Stone was rushed to an emerg
ency hospital at Camp Assinibolne and
a corps of doctors and nurses, sent from
here, ministered to her.
The body of Dr. Stone was found Sun-
day. It took nearly ah "entire day to
remove It' from the crevice and guides
from Assiniboine camp did not return
here with the news until late last night
: The brief word reaching here from the
guides was a message telling of heroism
and tragedy.
Mrs. Stone lost her footing on the
steep slope of Mount Aenon and fell
Into the crevice.

The Stones were enthusiastic mountain to work in the kitchen of the Bishop
climbers and for years have spent their Scott academy, a boys' school, where he
baked bread, did the butcher shop wortc
and such other tasks as he was assigned
to. Albers had learned how to bake In
Germany. Later he cooked for three
months at a Seaside hotel.
After returning to Portland he secured
a position in the McKay building, look
ins' after the machinery and ODeratina

mill in Germany. He later became Janl
tor of the McKay building, collecting
all the rent and taking care of the
building in general. He held this posi
tion for three years, or until May 1,
1895.
At that time Albers. his brother Ber
nard, and Mrs. Schneider went Into part
nershlp and opened a grain milling plant
at Front and Main streets under the
name of Albers Brothers & Schneider
The name was later changed to the
United States Mills. From that small be
ginning grew the chain of mills which at
the time of Albers' trial extended to
Seattle, Bellingham, San Francisco,
Oakland, Los Angeles and Ogden.
Albers took little interest in the sales
department or office work of the con
cern.
HE BUILDS MILLS
He built practically all the mills
which the concern owned, as he was con
sidered a good machinist. It was his
duty to keep the mills running and to
this end he used to work considerable at
nights. He testified at his trial that ai
a result of strenuous labor he had tm
