A PIONEER PHYSICIAN
Brief Sketch of the Life and Character
of Dr. James Whiton
Boyle.
DALLAS, Or., July 18-(To the
Editor.) The mention of the name of
Dr. James W. Boyle will awaken the
memories of more people in Polk and
adjoining counties than that of any
other man who has ever followed the
healing art within the same field of
labor.
Dr. Boyle was born in Tazewell
county, Virginia, April 15, 1815. He
began the practice of medicine in
Indiana when only 18 years old, be
fore taking a collegiate course. He
went from Indiana to St. Louis,
Missouri, and took two courses of
medical lectures in Kemper College,
After graduating in the Spring of
1844, he moved to Fairfield, Iowa,
where he followed his profession until
1845. He then came direct to Oregon
and established himself in Polk county
near where the town of Rickreall is
now located.
When he began to practice medicine
in this county he had nothing with
which to begin business but his talent
and honor, having spent his earnings
in mastering his profession and in
making his journey across the plains
to Oregon with a slow-plodding ox
team. Soon after arriving in Oregon,
Doctor Boyle married a most charm
ing and estimable young woman,
Miss Josephine Pauline Ford,
daughter of Col. Nathaniel Ford. The
Doctor was not like most of our young
Doctors of today who justify them
selves in not marrying by saying
thatthey cannot afford it. He thought
it was a very poor country where two
couldn't make a better living than
one, so on May 12, 1846, the bond of
union was consummated that resulted
in establishing what is known in Polk
county as the Boyle family.
Dr. Boyle first selected his donation
claim on what is known as the old
Whiteaker place. He built his cabin
near the spot where a company is now
boring for oil. He sold this claim be
fore filing and located his permanent
donation claim on the north side of
the LaCreole, a mile above Rickreall.
He also purchared 320 acres adjoining
his donation claim, which gave him
9G0 acres of fertile valley land. He
lived in his log cabin for many years,
using it for a residence and office. In
the early '60s, he built a large frame
house, which stands todny as a monu
mentto his thrift and enterprise.
The Doctor was an industrious man
He rode day and night, far and near,
rain or shine, through dust and mud,
over valley, hill and mountain. His
field of practice embraced at one time
all the territory from East Chehalem,
North Yamhill and Grand Konde
valley to Blodgett's valley in Benton
county; to Spring Valley, and over
into the Waldo Hills. There seemed to
be no limit to his physical endurance,
He had wonderful perspective
powers ; could discern readily, diag
nose his cases and render a correct
prognosis. He was an all-round
practitioner; could pull a tooth or
amputate a thigh at any time when
necessary. He was very successful
in every department of his profession.
This accounts for his popularity. He
was philanthropic, and attended rich
and poor alike. He always kept good
horses ; was fond of them, and took
good care of them. Often coming
home late at night, himself and horse
muddy and cold, he would wash, dry
and bed his animal before going to
his own bed.
In 1858 he opened in Dallas the first
drugstore in Polk county the store
now owned and managed by Belt &
Cherrington. He wag of Scotch and
Irish descent, very aggressive and
progressive, and always on the ad
vancewhich qualities he demon
strated by withdrawing from his large
field of practice and taking a course
of lectures in Cooper College, in San
Francisco, in 1863 and 18C4, in order
to be abreast of the times in his pro
fession. If he had any spare moments
at home, he would haul wood or do
any farm work. He would even cook
the meals if his wife was sick, and
often assisted her in doing other
housework something very unusual
in the medical profession.
Dr. Boyle was a domesticated man,
and loved his wife and children. He
was tender-hearted, and was often
seen shedding tears in common with
those suffering from bereavement.
His motto was "Cheers for the living,
and tears for the dead." In order to
give his children better facilities for
acquiring an education, he bought
property in Salem and moved there in
18C0. He died in July, 18G4, at the age

He now reposes beneath the sod in
the cemetery south of Salem. His
name and deeds are written upon the
tablets of memory of hundreds of

recipients of his professional skill.

Oregon has a statute, probably un
familiar to many of its citizens, which
provides for the taking of a state cen
sus once in every ten years. The
next enumeration, under this statute
falls in 1905. It is the duty of the
county assessors all over the state to
compile the census of their respective
counties and to report the results to
the secretary of state.

Southern Pacific Company Makes
Low Kate to League meeting
in Portland.
The Portland Commercial Club has
issued a call for a convention of the
Oregon Development League, to be
held at the Marquam Grand Theater
in Portland August 2nd and 3rd. All
commercial, agricultural, mining,
stock-raising and irrigation interests
will be represented ; every editor in the
state will be invited to attend as a del
egate; County Commissioners and
Mayors of all towns and cities will
also be called upon to name delegates.
The Portland Women's Club will look
after the comfort of ladles accom
panying delegates, and, among other
entertainments, have arranged for a
trolley ride on August 2nd, taking in
the most interesting and beautiful
environs of Portland, and on August
3rd ten street cars will be provided for
a trip over the entire city.
The Southern Pacific Co. will sell
tickets at the very low rate of one fare
for the round trip, from all points on
Oregon Lines and return, for this
occasion, and it is hoped that every
section of the state will be well repre
sented at the convention, to work in
harmony for the development of Oregon.
BOSTON, Mass., July 8, 1904.
Mr. U. S. Grant,
Dallas, Oregon.
Dear Sir : The mohair you shipped
us was baled just as it ought to be.
It would pay other shippers to take
lessons from you in baling. It is for
the seller's advantage to make the
best possible first impression on the
buyer and that is one of the results of
correct baling.
Regarding the quality of your mo
hair, it was well grown, pliable and
free from kemp. Our sorters sorted
it carefully just on the basis on which
they sort Turkey mohair, and the
corresponding sorts were fully as
good as we expect from the best
Turkey mohair. With such good
stock to start with, we think it would
be for your interest to breed for fine
ness of fibre, for a good proportion of
fine mohair raises the value of the
fleece largely. We are paying you 40
cents for your mohair, and it Is easily
worth that price. It is much better
than most of the American mohair,
and if you keep on with intelligence
and care you ought to be able to im
prove the quality so that your mohair
would bring any year nt least 50 cents
per pound. What you have already
accomplished ought to be a stimulus
to other growers, and we wish they
would take such advice as evidently
you must know how to give. We like
to encourage growers of such mohair,
and congratulate you.
Respectfully yours,
Massachusetts Mohair Plush Co.

The paper mill company started up
their new paper-making machinery
last Saturday, and are now making
paper out of wood pulp. This doubles
the ouput of the mill, and doubles the
number of their employes. They will
continue to use their old machinery
for the manufacture of straw paper.
The wood pulp paper is a splendid
quality of wrapping paper, lighter in
color and a finer grade than straw
paper. Lebanon Express-Advance.

Planter, the famous Hambletonian
stallion owned by Gifford Zumwalt,
died at Black's livery stable in this
city, Sunday morning. He was one
of the finest bred horses in Oregon,
and was a full brother to Prodigal.the
late Marcus Daly's celebrated trotting
stallion. Planter was brought to Ore
gon from Kentucky by the late Con
gressman Thomas H. Tongue, and
was 22 years old at the time of his
death.
Attorney-General Crawford holds In
an opinion rendered Monday that
applicants for second and third-grade
teachers' certificates are not entitled
to have credit for standing secured by
them in any branch if they fail to pass
the examination. The provision that
where a teacher has, in two successive
examinations, received 90 per cent in
one or more branches, the applicant
may at the next examination be cred
ited with the standing earned applies
only to first-grade certificates.
The high prices for chittem bark
last year have caused a great many
Lane county people to go into the
bark business, with the result that the
market Is already so well supplied
that the price is down to 5 cents, with
prospects of going lower. Lane has
plenty of the bark, but there is not
much money in it at 5 cents, especially
where it is hard to get at in the
mountains, and must be hauled a
long distance to trade centers. Eu

In point of literacy, Oregon stands
third among the states of the Union.
This fact should be called to the atten
tion of some of the immigrants and
visitors from the eastern states, those
that consider themselves thrust out
upon a wild frontier when they step
off the train in Oregon. Oregon has
plenty of wildness in its composition
but it is confined to the scenery and
physical conditions and does not ex
tend to the people who are tame and
have their percentage of culture.
