As the late winter sunshine streamed through the window, Henry Lewis Pittock knew that his time was short, knew that his keenest regret was to leave to other hands the great daily he had founded 58 years before. Next night he died, and Portlanders learned that his $7,894,778.33 estate was the largest ever probated...
