Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1916-09-19
WALTER L. TOOzE, JR.

Walter L. Tooze, Jr., is known to
practically every resident of Polk
county. having resided here since ear
ly manhood. He is a native of Mar
ion county, with the exception Of the
few years that he attended school in
the middle west, has been a cOntinu-
Gus resident of the state, for which
he was one of its most ardent ''bOost-
ers. Walter l.. Tooze. Jr., was
born in Butteville FEBRUARY "a, 1881
but when aged eight months his par
ents moved to Woodburn, Marion
county, where they resided until 1907.
While absent from home in further
ing his educational ambitions his par
ents moved to Falls City in that
year. In September, 1908, the sub
iect of this sketch located in Dallas,
having graduated from the law de-
partment of the University of Michi-
gan, prior to which time he attended
Mt. Angel college and Bishop Scott
Military academy in Portland, and
here it was that this promising young
disciple Of Blackstone first hung out
his Single as practitioner, and it
is here that he has builded a lucra-
tive law business.
Mr.. Tooze was city attorney for
Dallas for four years, and for Falls
City several years, in which capacity
he is still acting. He has been attor-
ney for the State Land board since
1910, and was deputy district attor-
ney in 1913. He was one of the pro-
moters of the Commercial club, and
was for number of years its secre-
tary, during which time he accom-
plished much permanent good for the
community. 1t may be mentioned in
cidentally that Mr.. Tooze has always
taken great interest in political af-
fairs, and has stumped the state in
behalf of the republican party, with
which he is affiliated. Twice he has
been named a member of the State
Central committee, and now occupies
the responsible position as chairman
of the publicity committee for that
organization.
AT the republican primary last May
Mr. Tooze was nominated by the re-
publicans of Polk county as prose
cutting attorney, which office, if elect
ed, he will undoubtedly fill with cred
it to himself and to the satisfaction
of the people whom he will repre-
sent. He has during his residence in
Dallas had much to do with the Grim
inal side of the law, and this has pc
culiarly qualified him for the position
he now seeks through the suffrage of
the people of Polk county.

WALTER V. FULLER

Probably no citizen of Polk county
is better known than Walter V. Full
Ter, who cast his lot with the people
of this community some fifteen years
ago, coming hither from Minnesota
During his residence here he has been
prominently identified with all move
ments tending to the advancement
and upbuilding of the material inter-
ests of not only Dallas and Polk coW-
ty but the entire Willamette valley
and the state of Oregon. Mr.. Full
Ter has been leader among men, and
as such has accomplished things. He
has served the people of Dallas in
the municipal council, was for four
years president of the Commercial
club, an organization which has for
its principal object community build
ing, and was for seven years presi-
dent of the La Creole club, social
association composed of the leading
business and professional men of the
city. Since the inception of the coun-
ty fair several years ago, Mr.. Fuller
has been prominently identified with
the enterprise, devoting much effort
and time in giving that institution the
permanency which it today enjoys. In
fact it may be said without dispar-
agement to his co-workers that to
Walter V. Fuller much of the cred
it for the development of the county
fair is due. From the time of locat-
ing in Polk county Mr.. Fuller has had
unbounded faith in its future great
ness of Oregon, and has backed that
faith with his money. Besides being
the possessor of a beautiful home in
this city he is financially interested
in timber lands in Polk, Benton. Lin
coin and Tillamook counties, owns
several orchard tracts consisting of
prunes, apples and cherries, and also
owns the drug store known as The
Fuller Pharmacy, which he acquired
in 1909.
Walter V. Fuller is a native of !
Iowa, having been born in the Haw-
keys state in 1861. When but five
yeGrs of age he had the misfortune
to be left fatherless, and at a tender
age he was thrown upon his own re-
sources. But young Fuller, made of
5he right stuff, realized his situation
and with determination set about
making the most of such opportunities
hat offered themselves to him. While
about among strangers he
'eeeived what education he could
rom the common schools of the rur-
j districts, and in later years fol-
owed farming, railroad construction
york and numbering. Many an inter
sting experience does he relate while
n reminiscent mood of the lumber
ng industry of the Mississippi val
ey in an early day, which compared
Nth present day methods of operat-
ng was indeed crude. Lumber and
lmber are his hobbies and few men in
he coast country are better versed in
he subject or have a better under
tanding of these industries in their
ariOus phases For a number of
ears Mr.. Fuller was engaged in the
etail lumber business in the middle

Supplies and equipment could be

General Parker carried out toe or

entirely satisfactory to me and in ac-
cordance with instructions which have
been received from the. War Depart
ment. He had pursued the bandits that
raided American territory, driven them
from our soil, followed them to the
other side of the river. dispersed the
band, broke up the rendezvous and re-
mained in the vicinity while search was
being made for any further signs OF
bandits. There being no further sign
of them, this morning he withdrew his
troops to the American side"
