W$& WOOD 0H0PPEE TO BANKER. flow One of Portland's Millionaires Made His First Start. He Came Here a Poor Boy Slept in The Woods in This City Made a Raise at Oregon City. Calling at the office of the Com mercial National Bank a day or two since, a reporter of the Orego nian found the president of the bank, Hon. D. P. Thompson, for a wonder, at leisure and ready for a chat. The reporter wished to in quire about a matter pertaining to the early history of the city and asked Mr. Thompson how long it was since he came here. "It is just thirty-five years the 12th of this month since' I landed here in company with a man named Coon Easter," said Mr. Thompson. "We had our blankets with us and we went back about two blocks from the river and made our bed and slept under a big log, just about where this bank stands. It rained like blazes, but the log kept the rain off us and we slept very comfortably. "The next morning I went up to Oregon City on a boat, com manded by Capt. "Dick" Will iams. When I landed there I had not a quarter of a dollar. I had an order from Mr. It. R. Thomp son on Col. John McCracken for $40, which I presented. The colonel was extrpmely polite, as he always was, but he had no ready money. I proposed to take half the face of the order and finally got down to 2.50, but the colonel had no money. "I inquired how long he had been in Oregon City, and he re plied 'a year or two.' I told him if I had been there that long and could not borrow money enough to cash an order I would hang myself. "1 found out afterward why he did not care to pay the order. He had purchased the Island mills from Air. Thompson in laol, and had made a large payment. In the winter of '52-3 the warehouses at the mill had been swept away, with a lot of wheat, and he found that he would be unable to pay the balance due Mr. Thompson and must sacrifice what he had al ready paid. So if he paid me any thing it would have been merely throwing the money after what he had alreadv sacrificed. 1 did not blame him after I knew the facts and he told me he had to borrow 10 to get out of Oregon City. I was mighty mad and did not speak to him for over fifteen years after ward. However, years after we talked the whole matter over and had a hearty laugh about it. "Things looked rather blue. So I walked up on the bluff and took a view of the couutry. There T met a stranger and asked him if he knew where I could get any thing to do. "lie said that he did not, and that he was looking for a job him self. I asked him if lie had any money, anil he said not a cent. He remarked that he knew a man at Canemah, Capt. John McClosky, who wanted 200 cords of wood cut. I inquired whether he had ever cut any wood, and he replied, "Not a cord." "I said I had never cut any either, but we could take that job and get away with it if we had any tools. The stranger said he knew a fellow in town, Tom Charman, who could help us get some tools. "Ooulun't he let us have a lime money?" I asked "No," was the reply, "he is as bad off as we are, he hasn't got a cent." "We went down and saw Char man, and he said he could get us an order for two axes, and we bor rowed a crosscut saw and got some maul rings and wedges on credit, also some provision for which Charman went security, and with our blankets, tools and provisions on our backs we struck out for the tall timber, six miles up the river, and sailed in. ! "We besaD in October and in j February had the 200 cords of C tTrr,fl tint nml nnwnnA 3 1 AA "Wo burned down the trees at night and worked like the deuce all day, and became quite expert wood cutters. We borrowed a gun and one day killed a deer. The smell of this meat'in camp at- j tracted all the skunks in the coun j try, and they would crawl into our cabin and prowl around at night "We had a bed of fir twigs. My partner would spread his blan kets over these and we used my blankets to cover us. One night a skunk walked on our bed, and my partner sprang up and threw my blanket over the brute and exclaiming, 'blank you, I've got you now,' proceeded to murder it. He soon finished the job, and then I took my blankets out and buried them, and we had to get more brush and use his to cover us, and we did not sleep very comfortable, for the weather was cold and we smelled much like tbe blankets." "What became of your part ner?" "Oh, he is a prosperous fanner in Washington territory; owns a fine farm opposite the mouth of the Sandy. He has a lot of valua ble real estate in Portland, and has been president of the council in the territory. His name is Van Vleet and he is one of the best men who ever lived, except as to his politics, which, being Demo cratic, are terrible. "After completing our wood chopping contract we came to Or egon City, where I met Gen. Car tee, since surveyor-general of Idaho, and Dr. A. G. Henry, since surveyor-general of Washington territory, who were engaged in making surveys of public lands in Oregon, and I started out on a surveying expedition with them, and kept at that business for twenty years."

Liberated from Their Fetters By the helpful, genial action of that most beneficent of aperients, Hostetter'.s Stomach Bitters, the bow els soon throw off the burden that paraljzed and weakened them, and re sume their normal freedom of action. The action of the Bitters, unlike that of aerage purgatives. Involves no griping or drenching. If it did it would, like them, be valueless fur ordinary use. There is nothing ungentle or unnatural attending its operation, upon the ll er, no less than the bowels, its action is most benign, promoting a healthful bilious secretion, and directing out of the wrong and into the right channel.
