WASHINGTON, 1. C. Sept. 15.
About Gfi.OOO enumerators will be
needed for the thirteenth decennial
census of the. United States, and also
of Hawaii and Porto Rion, ueeording
to estimates prepared for Census
Director Durand ly Geographer
Charles P. Sloane of the census bur
eau in whoso dvision the. enumerators
districts arc defined and fixed. This
is an increase of about 11,000 over
the number carriers in the census of
li00. ' .
The present census law requires
that the enumeration of the popula
tion shall be taken as of the fifteenth
day of April, 1910, and the enumer
ators must forward their returns to
the suMTvisors within thirty days
from the commencement of the enum
eration, except that iu any city Lav
ing 5000 inhabitants or more at the
preceding census, the enumeration
shall be completed within two weeks.
In looking into the details of the
estimates, Oklahoma aud Washing
ton, are conspieous, as they will call
for about n 300 per cent increase
over the 1900 force of enumerators.
Pennsylvania will continue in the
leadership having slightly the largest
number of enumerators; the 1910
.force being estimated as 5200 against
4720 in 1900.. New York is second
with u probable 5000 for 1910 as
eompiired with 4541 in 1900. Next
will come Illinois, the Ohio. Texas,
Missouri,'' Massachusetts, Indiana.
Michigan, Minuosotr, and California;
all needing 2000 or more enumerators
each. In .Oregon 400 enumerators
will be needed. .
EVIDENCE OF OIL FOUND
IN COTTAGE GROVE WELL
COTTAGE GKOVE, Or., Sept. 15.
Frequently in the past, when deep
wells were drilled here, small veins
of coal we're found, and recently signs
of oil have been discovered. In drill
ing a. well for Isaac Taylor on Fourth
street, this city, recently, Ralston &
Spears passed through a 43-foot vein
of peculiar sand, this being encoun
tered about GO feet below the sur
face. I'lider this sand water was
found, but it contains so much oil
that it is unfit for use. Samples of
it have been sent away to be analyzed,
and it is thought. that possibly this
may be the Jong hoped for discovery
of petroleum. The project will be
thoroughtly investigated.

PROFITABLE ORCHARD
IN THE YAKIMA VALLEY
XOKTH YAKIMA,-Wash., Sept. 15.
W. P. Sawyer of Parker, owner of
one of the most profitable pear or
chards in the valley, figures his net
returns ut $1000 an acre. He mar
keted seven cnrloads of fruit, 3528
boxes picked from 616 trees. Three
carloads went to New York and four
to Minneapolis. The fruit netted at
Wnpato, the shipping station, $1.88
a box. The total receipts were
$0039.48.
SEATTLE, Sept. 15. Now that
Seattle day and its record breaking
attendance of 117,013 is a thing of
the past, the exposition officials are
looking forward to Taft Day festiv
ities, Sept. 30, when it is thought -that
the turnstiles will register the great
est number of daily visitors yet seen
at the big fair.
President Taft has no rival in pop
ularity in the northwest. When ho
visited Washington state in 1907, he
was greeted by record breaking
crowds all along his line of travel.
Husincss was suspended iu Seattle
and every one made it a point to see
the big good nat tired "Hill" Taft.
His consent to spoak iu the natural
amphitheatre and to spend the ' day
looking over the fair grounds will
prove a valuable drawing card, as it
will give evry fair visitor opportunity
to see and hear the high executive of
the United States.
The Seattlo Chamber of Commerce
is combining with the exposition
authorities in r.n effort to make the
president visit an event which he will
never forget. All civil and frater
nal bodies will be called out in a par
ade; a regiment of tato troops will
lake part as well as several compan
ies of marines, bluejackets and sol
diers. The entire city will vie with
the exposition in its decorations and
President Taft will be led to think
that he is a "conquering hero" rather
than the president of a peaceful na
tion on n pleasure hunt.
All Marriages Are Love Marriages.
"Was It n love marriage, do you
tliiuU?" ,.
"Certainly. All marriuges are love
marriages."
"Isn't that rather a Hweeplng state
ment?."' "Not at all. There Is a love of ad
venture, you know; love of luxury,
love of advertising aud various other
kinds of love. There Is no need of go
ing into details when one speaks of a
love marriage.'' Chicago Post.
As to Luolc.
"I wonder it anybody's as unlucky
ns I am," grumbled the first pessimist.
"I never have any luck at all."
"Uuh!" snorted the other. "You're
lucky. It's better to never have any
luck nt nil lli.'in lo be always having
bad luck like inc."--Philadelphia Press

BENSON INVESTMENT CO.
MAKES NEW TERMS ON LOTS
On account of the -rapid sale . of
lots in our additions on the carline.
the installing of a new motor with
better service and new bungalows be
ing erected, we have decided to in
crease the price of these lots from
$250 to $260. . ' .
Sixty-six of these lots are already-
sold. Many people do not appreciate
the splendid mountain views from this
part of Medford. . The elevation be
ing nearly one hundred feet higher
than the busmess section of the city.
Think what it means in the rainy
season to walk a few blocks and
what a differenceto step aboard the
cars and arrive in town with clean
shoes and dry feet.
Experience and observation in oth
er cities and towns teaches that resi
dence lots lying close to a . carline
will sell for nearly double those lots
lying at a distance that will nccesi
tate walking.
We can't all own automobiles, but
we can afford 5c . carfare. We will
build vou a home in this desirable
district on easy payment. Our solic
itor will gladly call on you at your
request and explain our plans in de
tail and show you the lots.
Remember the price is only $250
now, until September 15, .when they
will be advanced to $260,' and we
firmly believe under the conditions
now existing in Medford, that they
will sell for $400 or more.
Ten dollars down and $10 per
month makes you the pwner of one of
these beautiful r.-Mdence lots.
