It may sound, mysterious the
creation of a town within a year's
time: . But anything Is riosslblo
Vwhen the: right "John Henry" Ml

The author of tho .town of Lin-j
coin Is In reality John Henry i
or Johnnie as his friends' call
him. Twenty four years old, j
blond and grey eved a chip oft'i
a' succession of blocks who never .
grew old. yet who passed on their I
characteristics from John toj
John. Johnnie didn't exactly cre
ate the town of Uncoln ho was!
Its Inspiration, lie was tho "John
Henry" placed on the rocky slop-!
and told to- "malio good." Tho
'oilier was the signature of hN
fadher, . John Henry; retired
i-apltallst of I'asadena, California.
V'base specimen .of . handwriting.
Incorporated the present town
' that Johnnie dubbed "Uncoln."
.. The name "Lincoln" might be
one of the Henry customs, which
bv as- firmly' rooled as many of
the seasoned pines in the fumily
filsiory. ' ' Lincoln, New . Hamp
shire, the former home of the
J. E.' Henry and Hons Lumber
find Pulp manufacture, means
much In ,the life and memory of
i 4. t. nenry, wnr soia nis lnwr
ff est. out there twelve years ago.
"'' With his father and two broth
! era gone, he decided to move to
the sunny southland with his
family.
' -. Pasadena became his home.
California Is . a land of hobbles,
and J. 11. Henry pursued some of
them and . even derived a mild
satisfaction out of them. Mrs
Henry Is Intensely Interested lt
education,- so he assisted her in
establishing, just outside the beau
tiful' little city . of 1 Covlna, what
Is now- known as the California
1'reparatory School for Boys.
l.ty was ..here .- that.. John It.
Henry, or Johnnie, and his pal
Kaymond Olllispie rere educated.-
" tAfter finishing' tliero' the
former went back to Dartmouth
to get .his university training-,
v -There . was a visit to Uncoln.
New' Hampshire in vacation time,
and Johnnie Insisted upon being
iKllowed' to work with the men In
JtHe -lumber mllf that saw once his
'-'grandrfather'S' and his father's.
H.v-seemed ; funny to the mill
hands; .this 18-yea-old boy !oc
tually. 'wanting to. go to work
when . he. didn't have to. .
t llecelvlng . the workman's
wage, ' Johnnie came' home ' each
night elated over his Job, and
Ppent the evening talking 'with
his father ironing out what, he
thought, to be cogs In the wheels
of the large industry. Koch day
he learned something' new. The
lumber mill was work and play,
physical, mental and spiritual de-
. velopment all rolled Into one
for the young John Henry, just
its It -had been for his father and
his. grand-father. Johnnie did
cot '. finish at Dartmouth.
' -Three 'years ago, John nnd his
)ml, llaymond Olllispie found
themselves up In the tlmhcrlandi
of southern Oregon. Prompted
by . his son's inclinations toward
the life work of the New Hamp
shire family, J. If. Henry pur
chased 4000 acres of timber In
A the Green Spring' tnountnlns in-
f eluding the site for the present
mill. -.''
Sticking clone to the territory,
the two boys attended, business
college In Medford In order -to
pick up a .few essentials In book
keeping and . office, management.
Through .one Kali' ond Winter
they camped on the mountain
side, ' clearing timber and get
ting the ground in shape for the
new mill. ."
V.Actunl construction. on the town
and mill began, a. year ago Inst
August. The mill building of 100
by : 38 feet dimensions. with, n
shed 1 100 .feet -long, was hullt
along the most modern and ar
tistic .lines possible; A -log ponrti
00'-;by -800 feet was the next
piece- of work commenced, and
the mountain side was filled with
Jhe great echoes of rock drllllns
nnd excavation work.
: Several yards down from tho
milt the administration building
and store for supplies were -erected.
- A service station was in
mulled. Beyond, came what Mr.
Henry refers to as "the inn",
where the' mill hands and em
ployes are served their meals.
The. upper story of this provides
hotel accommodations for Mrs.
Henry, M. Stcnrud, who runs the
utlng - place; Mr.- and Mrs. Ben
Vinson, the former who runs the
store and oversees the lumber
company office adjoining It, anl
the latter who assists Mrs. Sten
rud, and other employes. Below
this is the large bunk-house
"where the mill hands sleep.
Across the highway from the
"Industrial center," the residen
tial district sprung up. Klvo
beautiful bungalows came first,
hullt of nine and' cedar shakes.
and arranged . so- as to complete
the picture of rugged landscap
ing. Up between these, a curved
avenue winds Its way, along
which, other bungalows of the
same materials but not of the
same atie are now being quickly
constructed.
The residence of Mr. nnd Mrs.
J. If. Henry a ' five room houso
facing the highway Is an Inrptra

a rugged bridge stretched up tho
hilhflUo aeroAH a lai'Ke pond,
where native Oregon plants tell
the lackadaisical story of a
mountain dell.
. About the place natural rock
gardens, tree aturapa and stray
bushen of native Rrowih are
highlighted by a Hkilled land
scape nrtiht, brought to Lincoln
by Mr. and Alr-s. Henry from
their California home. ' '
In another of the front hunK
alows Johnnie and his pul lived
until lata week ' when tho fir-it
big social event or the new town
took place. Hay UilUspe, and
Ills California sweetheart, a grad
uate of tho University of South
ern California were married In
the little school house before an
altar built to represent a minia
ture forest. Johnnie was best
man, and Kev. Lyman Potter
Hitchcock, chuplnln for the Cali
fornia Hoy' 1'reparatory school,
and a great friend of the Henry
family, performed the ceremony.)
Everything stopped in Uncoln
for the event, which Kt:irted off
with the blowing of the mill
whistle. Four duys later the
mill wan dedicated, and the town
named Lincoln.
. The very next day, school was
started for the fina tim there.
In the little school hnueo built
out of the same material and
along the same architectural lines
as are the houses, and donated
to the district by Mr. Jlenry.
Twenty-one children enrolled In
the mhool on the first day, un
der Mrs. A. V. Harvey of Ash
hmd. Practically nil of them,
sons nnd daughlera of lumber
men, the HtudentK, during their
Hparo time are building dunks
for . the attrnctltvo little school
house. In tho meantime they
are learning their three "It's"
seated ."'around "tfihle ami .. long
beiK-hcs In the school room.
A busy, happy little city Is
Lincoln. And while John Henrv,
the robust lumberman with snow
white hair goes about his busy
tasks In the offlco of the com
pany, his keen . eyes frequently
light with satisfaction oh they
follow the lithe young form of
a blue-overalled workman dart
ing in and out among the mill
hands below,
Yes, young Johnnie runs truo
to form like father, like son.
And that's all there is to the
mystery the rocky hillside that
in one year beenrnu the complete
little city of Lincoln. Inspired
chips they were from the old
block In Xew Hampshire, nnd
they landed on the Green Spring
Mountain!
One Air Shipment
$1,200 in Stamps
The air mail service .recently
solved a perplexing, problem for
the Warner Bros. stud!os( who
wore faced with the difficulty of
delaying tho filming of a new
feature production pending ' the
arrival of t00 pounds of glass
crystals. ' from New . York r City,
necessary decornttons for two huge
chandeliers being used in the pic
ture. , . .
Tho shipment of Xracile glass
was placed aftfcurd , nn air mall
plane and arrived In Los Anircles
I 31 hours later Aboard a AVestern
Air Express mall plane, from Halt
Iakc City. The unusual cargo
whs covered with $1200 worth of
air mall stamps, nnd nrrlved In
Hollywood without one of the
hundreds of beautiful cut glass
ornaments being broken.-
Home Idea of tho hugo chande

may be conceived from the fact
that they arc sufficiently large to
permit 2 1 girls to pose on the
