     ALPHEUS LAMONT RAUGHT, JR.  One of the leading figures in the lumber 
industry at Longview, Washington, is Alpheus L. Raught, Jr., manager of the 
Longview branch of the great Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, which has 
established at this place one of the largest and most complete plants in the 
west. He was born at Spokane, Washington, on the 18th of June, 1888, a son of 
A. L. and Eva C. (Hibner) Raught. He attended the public schools of Centralia 
and Winlock, Washington, graduating from high school at the latter place in 
1905. He began work for the Clark County Timber Company, a subsidiary of the 
Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, with offices at Portland, Oregon. He started in 
as office boy and remained with that concern for eighteen years, rising 
through the various positions to that of general manager of the woods 
department. In 1925 he came to Longview as manager of the Weyerhaeuser 
interests and has had charge of that company's extensive operations at this 
point.

     On June 4, 1912, in Tacoma, Washington, Mr. Raught was united in marriage 
to Miss Eulena A. Fatland, daughter of ex-State Senator H. H. Fatland, a 
prominent lumberman of Tacoma, whose death occurred in 1925. Mr. and Mrs. 
Raught have two children: Gordon, born September 12, 1913; and Howard, born 
January 14, 1918.

     The republican party receives Mr. Raught's political support and since 
coming to Longview he has shown a good citizen's interest in everything 
pertaining to the welfare of the community. He is a Mason, in which order he 
has attained the Knights Templar degree in the York Rite, and also belongs to 
Oregon Consistory, A. A. S. R., at Portland, and Al Kader Temple, A. A. O. N. 
M. S., at Portland. He is a member of the Longview Country Club and is a 
director of the Longview Chamber of Commerce.
