Observer V TT rr rr OUNTY PUBLISHED SEMI-WEEKLY VOL. XX DALLAS, POLK COUNTY, OREGON, DECEMBER 29, 1908. NO. 46 SUCCUMBS TO PARALYSIS Asbury Shultz, Aged and Prominent Citizen of Dallas, Dies After Brief Illness. tn the death of Asbury Shultz, which occurred Sunday afternoon December 27, Dallas lost a citizen whose lifelong influence tor its practi cal upbuilding and development has been greater probably, than that of any other one man, if influence may be judged accoiding to comparative ability and measured by actual per sonal achievement. HU death was sudden belog due to an attack of paralysis. Ha was stricken Saturday night, and in the feebleness of his advanced years was unable to rally from the attack, never regaining full consciousness from that time until his death during the afternoon of the following day. Asbury Shultz was a son of Mr. anr! Mrs. Peter Shultz and was born in Oliio, April 23, 1824. He married Miss Kliza Cedars, December 27, 1846, and in 1861 he crossed the plains to Oregon, starting in April and reach ing Dallas in September. Dallas was at that time a mere vil lage of only about 60 inhabitants. Mr. Shultz purchased 40 acres of land In the outskirts of the town which in its subsequent growth has become a part of the most valuable residence property in the city. From the time of bis arrival in Dallas, with the exception of one year in Washington county, Mr. Shultz resided here continuously, pursuing his trade, that of a carpenter and con tractor, up to about Ave years ago, when he retired from active business. During that time he built at least six fine residences for himself which he afterward either rented or sold and he was employed in the construction of a large majority of the older buildings in the city, holding throughout his work the reputation of being a skill ful and substantial workman. He is survived by his wife, five children, fourteen grand children and eleven great grand children. The children are : Mrs. Gertrude Sebriog, of Winchester, Oregon; John 0. Shultz, Mrs. Ollie McOarter and Mrs. Evelyn Hayter, of Dallas, and San ford Shultz, of Cross Keys, Oregon. Funeral services were held at the family home at 1 :30 this afternoon and many relatives, friends and mem- Electricity for Lighting Is only expensive to people who are wasteful and careless. To yon, who are naturally careful, it does not come high. It is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed. With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than electric light, but does it save you anything when it limits op portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight-Hsmokes your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals but it wouldn t be economy. It Is not so much what you save, but how you save that counts. WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.

HAS FINE JERSEY HERD F. E. Lynn Secures Twenty-One Head of Blooded Cattle While in Kentucky. After traveling through ahalf dozen states looking at fine stock, F. E. Lynn, of Perrydale, has brought back to Oregon with him, 21 head of the finest pure bred Jersey cattle that he could secure. They were purchased atShelbyville, Kentucky. The majority of them were bought of Colonel Scott, a veteran Jersey breeder of wide reputation in the Btock raising business. The herd consists of eight cows, eleven heifers and two bulls. One of the latter was sired on the Jersey Isle and the other, a three-year-old, was bred on the St. Louis Fair grounds, his sire being Mary Maiden's third son, Grand Champion of all dairy breeds, and his dam, Roses Glory, was one of the twenty-five thoroughbred Jersey cows in the dairy test. The heifers in Mr. Lynn's new herd are a beautiful bunch of solid fawns, two ofthem having been prize winners In the showing last Fall. The eight cows are all of the strictly Island type and promise to be heavy producers. These 21 fine new cattle have in creased Mr. Lynn's herd to 43 head. Mr. Lynn is very proud of his fiBe cattle and justly so, for with the recent addition, his herd has become one of the finest in the Willamette Valley, Jennings Lodge Installs Officers.

Miss Maud Tharp, the eldest daughterof Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Tharp, of Independence, was married to Mr. Victor V. Runnels in Woodlawn, Monday, December 21. They will make their home in Portland. The Oregons have played even more brilliantly during the second week of their tour, than during the first, piling up enormous scores In the last two games. The game with Anaconda, Montana, the fjjst game concerning whose out come the boys were doubtful, was won by a score of 22 to 16, although in the first half Anaconda led by 12 to 6. The line-up was re-adjusted in the second half however and the Ore gon boys fairly played rings around their opponents, overcoming their lead within the first two minutes of play. Anaconda has seldom been defeated and the people, as the man ager of The Oregons said in one of his letters, were the poorest losers that the team has yet encountered. The other two games last week were played in Billings, Montana. The first game against the regular Bill ings team was won by the enormous score of 97 to 8, and the boys would no doubt have been equally successful against the Y. M. C. A', on the follow ing night had they not changed their line-up so as to work in some of the players who have had but little prac tice since leaving Oregon. As the line-up stood, the score was large enough 50 to 15 -but it is be lieved that the team in its regular form could have piled it up even higher. . The new line-up was as follows: Claud Shaw, center, injured sightly during the first half and sub- itituted by Fenton ; Edward Shaw and Teats, guards ; Rice and Morton, forwards. The manager writes that the advance schedule will be as follows : December 29, Dickinson, N. D. ; December 30, Jamestown, N. D. ; December 31 and January 1, Minneapolis; January 2, Stillwater, Minnesota; January 4, Hudson, Wisconsin; January 5 and 6, Redwing, Minnesota; January 7, LaCrosse, Wisconsin. The hardest of these games will be played in Red wing. Mail for members of The Ore gons team should be addressed to Redwing, Minnesota, to insure its prompt receipt and should be marked "care of The Oregons." Mr. and Mrs. J. Collins left today for their home in Seattle after a few days' visit at the borne of Mrs. Col lins' sister, Mrs. Addie Magers. The two sisters bad not seen each other for nearly 23 years.
