WOULD KEEP MONEY AT HOME
Airlie Business Interests Seek I'm
provement of Highway.

In order to keep at home trade that
is now going to Benton county towns
the business interests of Airlie, at a
meeting the other evening, appointed
a committee to wait upon the county
court at its December session and ask
special appropriation for the i'm
provement of about three and one half
miles of highway south from that
place. The committee is composed of
Messrs. C. V. Johnson, G. A. Conn
and M. K. Crowley. The Benton coun-
ty road to the Polk county line is in
excellent condition throughout the
year, and for this reason many rural
residents of that section of Polk coun-
ty spend their money elsewhere, pre-
ferring to travel a longer distance
over good roads than to take chances
with being mired during the winter
months. The merchants of Airlie
have frequently contributed to main
tain this highway, but are unable to
put it in the condition that it should
be, and are now about to seek the
aid of the county court in making a
permanent improvement. The super
visor of that district has fifty-two
miles of road in his district, and with
the money available from year to
year finds it a physical impossibility
to more than keep the highways in
fairly good repair. 1t is said that
there is good ledge of rock in close
to the proposed improve
ment, and that if the county court
would place one of its several rock
crushers there for a short time dur
ing the summer sufficient material
might be secured at a reasonable
charge to make the improvement ask
ed for.

AGED CITIZEN PASSES.
Notable Pioneer Breathes Last at
Daughter s Home.

On Sunday, November IA, there
passed out a life that was notable
among the remaining few Oregon pic
neers, when John C. Kruetz died at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Emma
Anderson, at Buena Vista. Mr.. Kruetz
and his family crossed the plains to
Oregon in 1864, and in 1866 moved
to Buena Vista, where he lived until
his death at the ripe old age of near
ly SO years. Mr.. Kruetz was born
in Prussia in 1928 and at the age of
twenty-five undertook the 27-day voy-
age across the Atlantic to America.
He spent several of his early years
in this country in the eastern states,
where he learned the shoemaker and
trades. The funeral SER
vices over the old gentleman were
held on Tuesday afternoon from the
home of N. C. Anderson, a grandson,
and interment was in the 1. o. o. F.
cemetery. The Rev. M. j. Ballantyne
of this city had charge of the last
rites.

WORK or idle DREAMER
so SAYS STAFRIN CONCERNING
REPORT OF Discomfort.
Company L of Dallas Repudiates
Statement Made by Correspon-
dent of Metropolitan Press.

A mean and untruthful report
without leg to stand on in fact
and emanating from the Dallas con-
respondent to the Portland Journal
tells of alleged discomfort in the
ranks of Company L, Oregon Nation
al Guard, located in this city, and
misstates the conditions that exist
here. Wherever the gentleman, who
added twenty cents to his bank ac.
count by writing the story, got his
information is mystery. 1t certain
ly did not come from the officers or
non-commissioned officers of the To-
cal company. In the first place the
correspondent is in error in giving the
enlisted strength of the company at
70 men, when it really is only SO,
and has been at that figure for some
time. That barely dozen members
attend the weekly drills would not be
surprising if it were true, but there
are many more than dozen ito an
swer every roll call, according to no
less an authority than the command
ing officer, Captain Stafrin.. CAT this
season of the year every militia COM
pany in the state suffers slightly from
a light attendance" he says. "The
fall season is the season of upbuild-
ing, of constructive work in the ranks
and it is customary that the full at
tendance does not report to drill. The
companies prepare for a period of
strenuous work in the winter months
and at this time the attendance is as
good each week in Company l. as it
has ever been in the local organization
at this time Of year. Men have TAX
en- advantage Of the fine fall weather
to stay in the field and camps longer
than usual, and to further account
for the usual small attendance the
armory here was rented to an evan
gelist for several weeks, so that drills
could not be held. There is nothing
unusual in the light attendance, says
the captain and the non-commission-
ed officers of the company.
That a spirit of quiet discomfort
prevades the company atmosphere, as
stated by the Journal correspondent,
is new to the officers and men with
whom The Observer has conferred.
~ have had not the slightest know
ledge of discomfort within the COM
pany," said Captain Stafrin yester-
day, "and l do not believe that it
exists If the quiet spirit Of
discomfort prevades the company it
must be unusually quiet, for officers
and men would have heard of it, Be- I
cause militiaman is not in sympathy
with certain phases of state or ma.
tional government does not mean that :
his allegiance to a cause or to his :
or local officers would in any :
way be effected. 1t is not evident :
that discomfort of one kind or anoth-
er exists. 1t is true that there are
some few in the national guard who
denote their dissatisfied natures by
heckling, but this spirit is notably
absent in the local organization. Some
few men have expressed their person,
al opinions, perhaps, of the adjutant
general and of some of his staff, but {

THAT MISSPELLED WORD

By carefully examining and
reading The Observers week.
ly bargain page, which ap-
peared for the second time in
the Tuesday issue of the pa
per, many people found the
misspelled word, which was
more securely hidden from the
casual gaze than in the first
issue. A number, as in the
case of the first issue, found
imaginary misspellings, but
those who found that accom-
mediation had two ms surpris-
ed Price Brothers by their
numbers. Accommodation"
misspelIed in Price Brothers
advertisement was the word
for which this paper paid some
careful reader one dollar in
cash. Just to prove to the
advertiser that the advertis-
ing pages of this paper are
widely read we referred the
inquirers to the merchant in
whose advertisement the mis-
take appeared and you will
note that the, advertising of
the particular merchant is
again found in, this issue. The
appreciation the business men
have for a good thing keeps
them advertising in The OBJ
server and thereby keeps
spirit of life in their business
even during the very dullest
times. Professor HI. HI. Dun
kelberger was the first to pre-
sent the correct spelling of ac-
commodation to the Price
Brothers store, and received
the dollar for his time.

SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSED.
Tentative Tax Budget Would be Ar
ranged by County Court.

Although the next regular meeting
of the Polk county court is not to be
held until early in December, Judge
Teal is considering the advisability
of calling a special session to discuss
the tax budget for the next year.
This meeting, if it is held, will take
place in the court house sometime
next week, according to present plans.
The meeting will be devoted to a dis
eussion of ways and means by which
it will be possible, if it finally be-
comes necessary, to include in the
budget an appropriation for the cost
of Polk county's share in the inter-
county bridge. The entire budget will
be tentatively arranged, however, if
time peTmits, and it is thought that
this plan will alleviate the labors of
the judge\ and commissioners at the
regular meeting when the budget will
be finally arranged.

and on part of the other. They are
long and stout enough to be brush
knives, but for the want of proper
information the weapons will remain
more or less of mystery until instruc-
tions for their use arrive. Among the
consignment of equipment that was
received was stretcher for hospital
work, and it is probable that Captain
Stafrin will detail detachment to
conduct ambulance drills when the
men get down to serious work during
the winter months.
