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."

alivo in Boston in 1887 was 12,137,

in the preceding year. The males
exceeded the females by 285.
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. Conjointly w ith
costlveness, other bilious s niptoms disap
pear when It Is systematically used, and the
stomach Is strengthened as well as regulated
bv It. Malarial complaints, rheumatism, de
bility, nervousness and kidney troubles aie
completely relieved by it. Sleep and appe
tite are invariably promoted by it.
New York is the "Empire state"
of the Union, with, sixty counties,
and will probably cast 1,200,000
votes at the presidential election.

PARENTS CKIHI.VALLY LIABLE,
More than half of all deaths occur
before six years of age. An army of in
nocent, ioveiy cnnuren are swept need
lessly away each year. Parents are
criminally responsible for this. The
deatli rate of children in England is less
than half this. Acker's English Baby
Soother lias done more to bring this
about than all other causes combined.
You cannot afford to be without it.
