HAS FINE JERSEY HERD
F. E. Lynn Secures Twenty-One Head
of BlOOded Cattle While in
Kentucky.

After travelling through half dozen
states looking at fine stock, F. E.
Lynn, of Perrydale, has brought back
to Oregon with him, 81 head Of the
finest pure bred Jersey cattle that he
could secure.
They were purchased at Shelbyville,
Kentucky. The majority of them
were bought of Colonel Scott, veteran
Jersey breeder of wide reputation in
the stock 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 Of them 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 81 fine new cattle have in
creased Mr.. Lynn's herd to 43 head.
Mr.. Lynn is very proud of his fine
cattle and Justly so, for with the recent
addition, his herd has become one of
the finest in the Willamette Valley.

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 81, Dallas lost a citizen
whose lifelong influence for its practi-
cal upbulding and development has
been greater probably, than that of
anv other one man, il influence may
he Judged according to comparative
ability and measured by actual per-
sonal achievement
His death was sudden being due to
an attack of paralysis. He wa 8
stricken Saturday night, and in the
feebleness of his advanced years was
unable to rally from the attack, never
regaining full conscious ness from
that time until his death during the
afternoon Of the following day.
Asbury Shultz was son of Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Shultz and was born
in ohio, April 2S, 1924. He married
Miss Eliza Cedars, December 27, 1916,
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 viii

lage Of only about so 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 his arrival in
Dallas, with the exception of one year
in Washington county, Mr.. Shultz
resided here continuously, pursuing
his trade, that Of carpenter and con-
tractor, up to about five 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 d skill
full and substantial workman.
He is survived by his wife, five
children, fourteen grand children and
eleven great grand children. The
children are: Mrs. Gertrude Sebring,
Of Winchester, Oregon; John G..
Shultz, Mrs. Ollie McCarter and Mrs.

Dallas Players Meet No Teams In
Montana That Can Make Things
Really Interesting.

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 first game concerning whose out
come the boys were doubtful, was won
by score of 90 to 16, although in
the first half Anaconda led by 12
to 6. The lineup 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 81 to 8, and the boys would nc
doubt have been equally successful
against the Y. M. @. A: on the follow
ing night had they not changed their
lineup so as to work in some Of the
players who have had but little prac-
tice since leaving Oregon.
AS the lineup stood, the score was
large enough-5O to 15-but it is be-
lieved that the team in its regular
form could have piled it up even
higher. The new lineup was as
follows: Claud Shaw, center, injured
slightly during the first half and sub
%tituted by Fenton; Edward Shaw
and Teats, guards; Rice and Morton,
| forwards.
The manager writes that the advance
schedule will be as follows: December
20, Dickinson, N. D.; December 80
jamestown, N. D.; December 81 and
January /, Minneapolis; January q
Saltwater, Minnesota; January A.
Hudson, Wisconsin; January and

Lacrosse, Wisconsin. The hardest OF
these games will be played in Red
wing Mail for members of The Ore
CONS team should be addressed tc
Redwing, Minnesota, to insure its
prompt receipt and should be marked
"care of The Oregons."

A TToRNEY AT LAW =
Will Begin Towing Logs.

The old Willamette is beginning to
creep up at this point due to the
recent rains and sudden warm weather
and now stands at four feet above the
low water mark. The cold weather
prevailing for a short time affected
the upper river considerably, but
warm rains have been falling causing
the snow to melt rapidly. At the pres
ent rate, the Willamette will reach the
six foot mark soon, at which time the
Spaulding Logging Company will
put their towing steamer Grey Eagle"
at work bringing down logs from the
Luckiamute. The Spaulding Com
pany has several million feet near the
head of that stream.-Salem Journal.

Hop deals consummated Friday
show an upward tendency in the mar

output of Miles Porterfeld, $50 bales,
and the output of John r. Cooper, $50
bales, for cents a pound. This is
one Of the best sales reported recently
and the price is far above the average.
All Of the hops indicated in these sales
are of prime variety. Growers argue
from this tendency among well-known

at this price that the market is

PROTECTION
MERE HUMBUG,

We hear a great deal about
protective tariff being required
to make up for the difference
in labor cost between foreign
made and domestic articles of
manufacture. This sounds
we'll and has for years done ser
vice in upholding the boldest
scheme for enriching the few
at the cost of the many ever
concocted.
Ifthere were any truth in this
contention there would never
be a word raised anywhere in
opposition to it, because the
protective tariff in that case
would be so slight as to be no.
where noticed.
For instance If the labor cost
of a foreign made article were
10 per cent of its value and the
labor cost of the home made
article were IL per cent, the
duty would only have to be 2
per cent in order to accomplish
what h e republican party
claims the protective tariff was
intended for. And if the labor
cost of the foreign made article
were as high az that IF the
article produced at home, there
-wonld be no tariff. And as q
matterof fact the. labor cost of
articles of foreign manufacture,
as a rule. is fully as high as
that of the domestic article,
and in many instances higher
because of superior labor sav.
ing machinery and more skill
ed workmen in this country.
1t THIS Is true-and the claim
is, of course, susceptible Of
proof-then what becomes of
the republican claim that the
existing protective tariff is
; merely for the sake of making
up the difference between
foreign a n d domestic labor
costs in order to benefit the
American laborer?
A Study of the Statistical Alb.
stract. published by the gov
eminent, reveals the real nat
ure and purpose of the tariff.
1t is to shut out foreign com.
petition and e n b lie home
manufactures to form mono.

GERMAN DAY
CELEBRATION.

The 225th anniversary of the
landing of the first Germans in
America was celebrated in this
city last Tuesday by a large
gathering of Germans from
Richland and adjoining coun-
ties, and from Minnesota. The
parade in the afternoon was
magnificent, composed of
autos, wagons, carriages, horse
men and footmen, bearing ban
ners and flags of their mother
country with the stars and
stripes in the lead. Great
credit is due the decoration
committee and the ladies who
did the work on "Germania
and Columbia" floats, the
Chahenkapa float which was an
old Indian at peace surrounded
by the oldest German settlers
was very attractive, the Father
John" float was neat and attrac.
tive, with the aged father sur
rounded by the members of the
order of Hermannssohne. The
prairie schooner float was uni.
que, and represente the i'm
migration to North Dakota in
the early .7O's. These with
several of the local organiza-
tons headed by the Wahpeton
band marched to Island Park
where the large crowd listened
to speeches by Hon. Frances
Martin, Editor of the Nortl.
Dakota Herald and Hon. w. E..
Purcell, which was we'll taken
by the people. In the evening.
a large crowd was entertained
at the Turner Hall by speech.
making and music, after which
light refreshments were served.
The day was thoroughly en-
joyed by the crowd and they
all went home promising that
they would all be back to take
part in the celebration next
year.

they see At for their outputs,
thus compelling consumers, Of
whom laborers form the big
majority, to pay from Is to 125
per cent for what they have to
buy than they would have to
pay If there were no protective
tariff and if there were open
competition in the market.
The government statistics
show that there is no relation
between the labor cost and the
tariff whatever. Instead of con.
stituting the mere difference
between foreign and domestic
labor costs, as is claimed, it is
found that the tariff in most
instances exceeds the entire
labor cost by many per cent.
Take the iron and steel in
dustry for example. The total
labor cost of 800 worth of iron
and steel manufactures is com.
puted at Is per cent. The
average protective tariff on
these manufactures is so per
cent, or more than double the
amount of the total labor cost,
In other words, out Of 500
worth of manufactured iron
and steel labor gets SIS while
tariff gives the trust $32 blood
money in addition to it's legiti-
mate profits.
This is only a sample case.
Other instances that may be
used in illustration are such as
leather betting, hose, ETC., of
which the total labor cost is 8
per cent and the duty 50 per
cent, brass ware, labor cost 81
per cent, duty As per cent;
brooms and brushes, labor cost
20 per cent, duty 40 per cent;
and tin plate, labor cost 6
per cent, duty SO per cent; tin
ware, labor cost % per cent,
duty 45 per cent. And 80 on
throughout nearly the entire
list of tariff protected ommod-
tiles which the consumer has
to use.
All of which goes to show
that the republican tariff, in
stead of being intended for the
benefit of laboring people, az
is falsely claimed, is in reality
a legalize d system of. highway
robbery of the many for the
benefit of a very few, and those
who defend it ought to be
ashamed to look honest people
in the face.
