ONE PLANT SHITS DOWN
Dallas Lumber Company Will Await
Decision of Court in Injunction
Suit
The sawmill of the Dallas Lumber
Company has been closed indefinitely,
until tbe suit brought against the
company by Judge S. T. Burch, of
Blckreall, to prevent them from flood
ing logs down from the camps above
Dallas, can be settled.
A plentiful supply of rough lumber
Is on hand In the yards about tbe mill,
however, and a crew of men will be
maintained in tbe planing mills dur
ing the summer, to supply the local
demand and fill any shipping orders
that tbe company has now on hand.
The company has In its pond about
3,000,000 feet of uncut logs which were
flooded down previous to the filing of
Judge Burch's injunction, and these
will be held In reserve for such urgent
sawing orders as may be received dur
ing the summer. In the event that
It becomes necessary to saw, crews
will be token temporarily from the
planing mills.
It 1 thought tbat the case will be
settled this summer, possibly within
a few weeks, and that tbe mill will be
able to resume operations with a full
crew of men. Tbe closing of this Im
portant Industryha thrown a large
number of men out of employment,
and materially reduced tbe total
amount of the payroll of Dallas.

USEFUL LIFE ENDED
Death of Frank Butler Is Mourned by
Host of Friends and
Acquaintances.
Frank Butler was,born July 7, 1842,
at The Hall, Brentwood, Essex, Eng
land ; died June 14, 1908, at the family
home In Falls City, Polk county,
Oregon.
Mr. Butler was married April 27,
187Cto Eleanor Field Butler, of Boys-
ton, Cambridgeshire, England. In
England, three children were born to
them, two sons and a daughter. In
the year 1881, with hia wife and two
sons, the daughter having died and
been buried In the family burial
ground, Mr. Butler came to the United
States. He resided In Corvallis a year
while surveying for Col. Hogg on the
Corvallis & Eastern railroad at Ya
quina Bay. He then moved to Polk
county and purchased Oakhurst farm,
a beautiful mountain home near Falls
City, where one son died and another
was born. In 1907, Mr. Butler built a
handsome residence in the town of
Falls City, and was preparing to
spend his declining years surrounded
by every comfort and convenience, but
soon after moving to town he suffered
an attack of typhoid fever, from tbe
effects of which he never recovered.
Mr. Butler was a member of the
Episcopal Church and also of the
Masonio fraternity, having been a
member of Jennings Lodge, No. 9, of
Dallas, for over twenty years. He
was also an active momber of the
Grange and stood high in the councils
of that body. He is survived by his
wife and two sods, Dr. Arthur B. But
ler, of Washington, D. 0., and Ban
dolph Butler, of Falls City.
The funeral service at the family
home Tuesday afternoon was largely
attended by sorrowing friends and
neighbors. After the reading of the
Episcopal service, a sketch of the life
and character . of the deceased was
read by the Eev. G. F. Bounds, the
venerable pastor of the M. E. Church
at Falls City. A selected choir sang
Mr. Butler's favorite hymns, "Lead
Kindly Light," and "Abide With Me."
Tbe officers and members of Jennings
Lodge, No. 9, A. F. & A. M., who had
arrived from Dallas by the afternoon
train, then took charge of the services
and marched to the Odd Follows' cem
etery, where t he burial was held accord
ing to the ancient usages and customs
of the fraternity. Before leaving the
cemetery, tbe grave was covered with
a profusion of beautiful flowers.
In the death of Frank Butler, Polk
county loses one of its most useful and
honored citizens. As a farmer, sur
veyor, Justice of the Peace, friend of
education, and promoter of important
enterprises for his town anil county,
he was faithful in whatever he under
took and was in every way helpful to
the community In which he lived. He
was a man of fine literary attain
ments, aud bis jovial good nature and
rare social qualities made him a most
delightful companion to both young
and old. His passing at the very
height of his usefulness and Influence
Is a distinct loss to Polk county, and
we will be lonesome without him.
