Death Of Hollis Alger
Pioneer Columbia River Logger Passes Away Suddenly.
Hollis Alger, a pioneer logging operator and head of the Alger Logging Company, died suddenly yesterday morning at 6:30 o’clock at his home on Oregon street. Death was brought on by heart disease, from which Mr. Alger had been a sufferer for more than a year past. His condition was not thought to be in any way serious, however, until a few minutes before the end came.
Mr. Alger was born in Canada, 64 years ago. He came to Portland from San Francisco and at once took up logging operations. He was one of the first big operators in the Columbia River country. Besides being the head of the Alger Logging Company, Mr. Alger was interested in the Management of the Oregon Iron & Steel Company’s logging department and the Coweman Driving and Rafting Company and Cowlitz & Columbia River booms. He is survived by a widow and three sons, H. E. Alger, Edgar Alger and Morton D. Alger. Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed.
