MR. WHITE TO RETURN WEST

AFTER LONG VISIT EAST

Charles O. White of Myrtle Creek, Oregon, who has been in the east about a year, expects to return home Saturday. Mr. White came here to visit his cousin, Mrs. Hattie A. Dale, who died last December. After his visit he made the homeward trip by the southern route and had only been home a week when he was called east on business and while on his way was informed of the death of Mrs. Dale. Since then he has been here on matters connected with the closing of her estate, he being one of the nearest heirs.

Mr. White went west from Tioga County 42 years ago, going first to Chicago. He then returned to WIllseyville where he had a chair factory for two years, which he sold to H. M. Hibbard of this city. Going west at that time he located in Tacoma, Washington, afterwards going to Myrtle Creek, which has been his home for many years.

Last year’s visit here was the first Mr. White had made in 27 years. He is a large property owner at Myrtle Creek and also the owner of a 100-acre apple orchard. In politics he is a Republican and when he first went to Douglass County there were but seven Republicans in the county. Last year he ran for member of assembly on his party ticket and was defeated by only four votes. He is also given credit for having installed the first hydraulic steam engine ever used for mining in this country. The cost of this engine was $8,000.21
