G O V E R N M E N T TO R E T I R E T O M K IN S A F T E R 45 YEARS After 45 \ears in the service of the federal government V. W Iomkins superintendent of the links, will lie retired on (x-nsion July I. Immedia tely thereafter he and Mrs. Iomkins will go to California to visit relative-,. They may decide to nuke their fu ture home in the southern state. Charles A. Saunders, brother of Frank Saunders, sujierintcmlent of the O h io links, has been a|>poiritrd to the position vacated by Mr Tom- kin». He and his family will occupy the house on the reservation occupied for so many years by the Tomkins family. Mr. Tomkins entered the govern ment service in 1889 at Nrwjiort. < tregon. After two years on the coast he was transferred to Cascade tanks, then in course of construction. He came to the links as an inspector in 181 ami remained until the (ontrait on the work was completed in 1898, when he was shifted to the Yamhill locks in Yamhill county. A year later lie was transferred to Portland where he remained for eight years. In 1907 he was sent back to Cascade Locks to become superintendent and has held the position continuously for the ¡>ast 27 years. Born in sounty Cork, Ireland, 70 years ago, Mr. Tomkins came to the United States as a young man to join his sister living down in Lincoln county. His father was an English man, his mother a Scotswoman. I luring his long years of service in Cascade Locks he has witnessed many changes, has kept a record of weather conditions, has seen the river Income an important artery of com merce, has observed the boats drop out of service one by one and has re mained to see the building of Bonne ville dam become a reality. Records kept by Mr. Tomkins carry the information that, commerce on the Columbia river rear hed its high ¡teak in 1906. when a total of 1417 passengers passer) through the locks. I wo steaboats made daily rounrltrips up and down the river that year. Realizing that soon the family home which they have occupied while their father was lorkmaster of the Cascade locks, would soon l>e inhab- I ',pd by another master, the children of Air. ami Mrs. 'Iomkins gathered at the family home Sunday for a re union.
