Jackson county. Iloro Mr. Shultz had
chargo of tlio two (louring mills owned
by Jacob Wimer. In 1875 ho moved
with his family to Cottage Grove, and
for sorno tinio had chargo of tho llouring
mills owned there by Hazolton & Gear
MRS. A. P SIIULTZ.
During his residence nt Cottage Grove
Mr. Shultz mndu a trip east with his
family, ho going as far nu his nativo
homo in Europe, Ho thou moved to
Canyonvlllo, in Douglas county, and in
1883 ho purchased the llouring mills at
that place oiiod;i)y Murks A Walonburg.
In 1892 tho family made another trip
oast, remaining u year, taking in tho
World's Fair ut Chicago, anil in 18DII
returned to Oregon and settled at
Jefferson, which place they have
made their homo over bIuco, and
probably will for all timu.
Mr. ShulU's career hero as manager
and owner of the Jefferson Flouring
Mills is too well known to tho people to
need any comment. It is only right,
however, to state that Mr. Shultz has
always been a staunch friend of tho
to ad, and while he has prospered in it,
ho has helped many another on life's
Journey, as well as being the moans of
developing tho surrounding country.
Mr. Shnlt has made u signal sneccesa
of ills ovory undertaking In life, and is
Mia ply entitled to tho comfortable com
petency he has m-quired by his energy
and skill, and by tho loyal awistinee of
his noble helpmate in life. May they
long live to uujoy the comforts and
privileges of thoir achievements, Is tho
wish of their numerous friends, and it is
s.ifo to predict that their name will
long bo roiiiouiburoil and httld in estfcm
by all whoso privilege it has bo-n to
know them as neighbors and frifiids.

EFFERSON is a town of less tlian a thousand inhabitants, beautifully
located on the cast bank of the beautiful South Santiam river at
the Southern boundary of Marion county, sixteen miles south
from the state caoltal.
There are four general merchandise stores, one shoe store, two con
fectionary stores, blacksmith shops, two good hotels, two churches, livery
stables and in fact every line of business usually found represented In a live
conntry town.
For years Jefferson has had a well-conducted Jocal newspaper, the Jef
ferson Review, edited by G. W- Humphrey, better known to everybody in Ma
rlon county as the eenlal "Tip."
Many fine prune orchards, hop yards, and wheat fields surround the
town, and land ranees In i rice Irom $10 to $50 per acre, accorcine to Im
provements and location.
An edifice of which all Jeffersonitcs are prouJ Is an clccrant public school
building, erected in 1899, It has all modern conveniences and would be a
credit to a much larger town.
This section is also noted for fine thoroughbred Jersey cattle, there be
Ing owned here several of the finest herds to be found In the United States,
and orders arc received from all parts of the country for these animals.
Some of the finest Poland China and other varitlcsof hogs are also raised
here,
The principal Industry of the place is the flouring mills These were
built about In 1865 by Jacob Conser, founder of the town of Jefferson, in
1886 Otto Shultz assumed charge of them, but retired In 1889 In favor of
Grant & Darcndrcck, who In the winter of that year changed the mill from a
stone to a roller mill, putting In the best and latest Improved machinery.
The capacity of the mill Is 150 barrels, while the warehouses have a storage
capacity of about 150,000 bushels. In 1894 Shultz Bros . A. F. and Otto.
assumed control of the mill, and it remained in their hands until about May
21, 1901, when It was purchased by J. A. Aupperle, late of Iowa, Mr. Aup-
perle took possession July 1, and has associated with him as a bsslncss part
ner Otto Shultz, a practical miller of many years' experience, and the firm
will be Aupperle & Shultz. The mill is run by water power, obtained by
tapping the North Santiam about two miles southeast of this city. It requires
only 150 horse-power to run the mills, though the power obtained is almost
unlimited and would be ample to run a number of factories, a fact which
Mr. Aupperle had in view when he purchased the property.
Much business and residence property has changed hands in Jefferson
within the past few months, being mostly purchased by Eastern people,
and the town seems to be enjoying a steady, healthy growth. Talk of an
electric light plant and a system of waterworks Is common, and these pros
pects seem more than probable In the near future.
Crops of all kinds never promised better and a prosperous lively fall Is
anticipated by all.
