jmaay arternoon ana evening an
informal reception was tendered Ira
F. M. Butler by the citizens of Mon
mouth. Uncle Ira, as he is familiarly
called, was born in Kentucky May 20,
1812. While yet but a lad his people
moved to Illinois, locating at Mon
mouth ; while his father surveyed and
laid out the town he hauled the stakes
with an ox team for locating the
corners. He was Deputy Sheriff of
the county and was appointed Clerk
of the Circuit Court for one torm by
Stophen A. Douglass. He was a
private in the Black Hawk War, and
tells many interesting things in con
nection with the incidents of the war.
In 1853 he married Miss Mary A.
Davidson, and together they crossed
the plains in the same year, with an
ox team, coming in company with the
Hutchinson and Ground train.
Uncle Ira located on the donation
claim some two miles south of Mon
mouth, in Polk County, and still owns
this claim intact. Since coming to
Oregon he has always taken an active
interest in public life. He served one
term in the Territorial Legislature
and two terms In the State Legislature,
boing Speaker of the House one term.
He has also served as County Judge
for one term and was president of the
board of Trustees of the old Christian
College for many years. When the
town of Monmouth was laid out and
the votes counted, selecting a name, it
fell to him to cast the deciding vote,
and hence the name is in memory of
the Illinois town. For many years he
has been a Notary Public and still
holds his commission, being, most
likely, the oldest Notary in the state.
Mr. Butler has raised a family of
eight children. A. D. Butler, of Napa,
Cal., the Misses Margaret and Alice,
who are at home with him, are the
only ones living. For one of hia ad
vanced age, 92, he is remarkably
active and takes great interest in all
events of a public nature. The house
and yard were tastefully decorated,
and Uncle Ira greeted his many
friends with old-time warmth "and
kindness. Monmouth correspondence

reason of the city's neglect, he was
compelled to go to Portland, where he
was placed in St. Vincent's hospital
and his leg was amputated. He now

MORE RAILROAD TALK
J. W. Coovert Makes Proposition to
Build Line From Dallas to Salem.
Talk of a railroad between Dallas
and Salem has been revived by a
proposition of J. W. Coovert to build
and equip the road, providing the
citizens of Salem will loan him $57,000
and advance a bonus of $15,000.
Tuesday's Capital Journal says : "At
meeting of the Commercial Club
Monday night the proposition to build
a railroad from West Salem to Dallas
and connect with the Falls City log
ging road was taken up and given a
free discussion, in the customary way
of starting railroads on paper and
with talk. Whether this one is more
likely to materialize into something
besides wind remains to bo seen.
'Webster Holmes was invited to
present the proposition of the Falls
City, Dallas & Salem railroad. He
referred to the line between Dallas
and Salem as an immediate possibility.
The portion of the line already built
was paying $2000 a month. Mr,
Coovert, the managing engineer, pro
posed to build from Dallas to West
Salem. He estimated the cost at
$118,000. He had $00,000 to put into
the line, and wanted $57,000 for one
year at 7 per cent. He wanted a
privilege of an extension of the time
to thr;e years. He wanted a bonus of
$15,000 additional to secure the right
of way and terminal facilities. He
would ask partial payments, as fast
as five n.iles were completed. Inside
of ten days after the money was put
up the work would begin, and the
road work would le completed in five
mouths. He said he was prepared to
give full details as to the business of
this proposed road.
"Tilmon Ford, D. J. Fry and E. S.
Barnes were appointed to investigate
the proposition and report."
