THE SCIO TRIBUNE VOL 4 SCIO. UNN COUNTY, OREGON. AUGUST M. IDlft NO. 14. ANOTHER PIONEER CALLED BY DEATH lUNS ShcltM. M I «MI if I m C«Mtf Cite»«. A|tf II Yun. is tte Victm Jam«* Shelton. who own« to Ore gon in 1M7. died at hia home in Alltany Tuewi&y morning, ailment« incident to old age being the cauar. When the Shelton« came to Ore gon, there were but very few oeople here. Hum«* could lie «elected in almoat any part of the Willamette valley and taken for a trifling crot. They came to the Sdo cuuhtry and settle»! in what ia known as Jordan. Home 10 or 12 milea eaat of the present town of Scio. Jam«-* Shel ton Helecte»! hia donation land claim at the upper end of the Jordan val ley on the road now leading from that plare to Lyons. Of the original family of Sheltona there were six brother«, only one of whom ia now living, Hamon, of some aix mile« eant of Scio. Jamea «helton lived continuously on hi« original land claim until a few yeara ago. when he removed to Albany and purchased a home in the eastern part of that city. Mr. Shelton was an unright and honorable citizen. respected by all who knew him. As a matter of fact all of our early pioneers were men of sterling character. When there were so few of them, it was necesaary that they should ba honorable, upright and true. The long trip acrons the plains where they were exposed to dangers from Indians and the hardship« inci dent to the journey, showed the absolute necessity of confidence and reliance upon each other. They necessarily must be friends and true. Habits formed under such condition« made these sturdy pioneer« splendid citizens. For several years after the arrival of the Shelton«. Oregon had no laws. But men of the character of James Shelton, needed no laws. Such men do right and live right simply liecauae it ia right to do an They were honest and charttable with each other because they could not afford to lie otherwise. Such men as the Sheltona. the Bilyeus the Richardsons, the Crabtrees and others made Oregon a desirable place in which to live. Cail them ’‘moMbacka*’ and “old fashioned'* if you will but it required just such men t<> hue out a path to the Pacific coast f or thia reason the most humble of these men and their faith ful wtvtM deserve a special ntch in the history of our state. All honor to our early pioneers. Inspecting Orchards Cement Sidewalk* For some res*>«i Scio has l>er»>me affected with the cement sidewalk fever. Not until t'ha«.
