COALMAN ON HOOD
While placing a cable across a cre
vasse last week FJijah Coalman, look
out man al the Mount. Hood forestry
station, fell and sustained injuries
that will incapacitate him for several
weeks. Coalman was taken to dov
ernment Camp on the south side of the
mountain.
Later news advises that Mr. Coal
man will be unable to resume his du
ties on the top of Hood. He will be
missed by the mountaineers, who have
enjoyed his hospitality at the mile
high lookout station.
Mr. Coalman in a letter to State
Forester Sherrard sets forth his reas
ons for quitting the service.
Two years ago he fell through a
crevasse above Crater Rock. Since
that time he has had heart trouble.
Recently he started up the snowbank
at the point where Crescent crevasse
will soon break through, and was
crushed by an avalanche. His heart
trouble was made mare acute hy this
latter incident. Mr. Coalman ex
presses his regret at leaving the for
est service and characterizes his work
in it as a source of lifelong pleasure.
Mark Wygandt, of Hood River, on
the north sidi of Mount Hood, who has
been guide at Cloud Cap Inn, has been
appointed bv the district forest service
to succeed Mr. Coalman. Mr. W'ygand
is an experienced woodsman and is
well acquainted with the mountain.
He worked for the district forest ser
vice last summer when he was em
ployed as lookout man on Larch moun
tain. He starts work at once.
It is contemplated that another posi
tion will he offered Mr. Coalman by
the forest service, in a lower altitude,
where his heart will not be affected.

Filz Badly Scalded
W. J. Filz was badly scalded last 1
Thursday evening when a fertilizer'
tank at his meat packing plant ex-j
funded. Mr. Filz was standing on ;
the top of the tank when the ex- ,
plosion threw the boiling material over
his face, shoulders anil arms, A part
of his hair an I eyebrows were scalded
(iff. The burn, are worst and deepest,
however, on ;- ren. v.-hieh he threw
over his face in protection. j
While friends here were expecting to
greet the eVHngelist at the train Tues
day afternoon, Hilly Sunday, unbe
knownst to anybody, as he says, ar
rived Sunday night, two days ahead of
schedule time, and proceeded to his
Odell ranch unannounced. I'ntil he
and Ma Sunday motored into town for
a little shopping tour Tuesday after
noon, no one knew they were in the
valley.
Mrs. Sunday says she is engaged in
her annual task of canning raspberries
and making preserves for winter use.
Hilly Sunday, however, convalescing
from a recent operation at a Roches
ter, Minn., hospital, is not taking
ranch life very strenuously thia reason.
"You will not catch me pitching
much hay, " he says. "I'm too busv
resting and recuperating."
