Columbia River Sun-Thursday, April 14, 1910 SKAMOKAWA For many years H. O. Crippen, one of our prosperous ranchers, has been raising big things on his ranch. First it would be a monster mangel, then an oversized cabbage or a whopper of a potato. H. O. took pride in showing these products and last week he broke his record and is now the proudest man in the valley. Mrs. Crippen presented him with a 13 pound boy, one of those stout, healthy little fellows who give every promise of growing up to strong manhood. H. O. now has seven girls and two boys.
