ThU firm started business In Salem
last July and we are glad to learn
from them that they' are pleased with
the reception they have received from
Salemitos.!-;"'?i"'-;"
The firm Is oomposed of W. A.
Sampson, who' came here from Mon

man, and Mr. R. W. Glddens. Mr,
Ciddens has been In the notion bu li
nes in this same line practlcajly all
his life, having worked up from the
chore boy In tho store to proprietor.
He came from Cottage Grove, Ore
gon, where he had been in the 5, 10
and 15 centi Ktore business for five
years and made it a success.
The-' store is located at 141 North
Commercial street, and is well ar
ranged, as a business of this kind
should lie.'' havina: a T4-foot front, by

If the suoject of this sketch was

rind aj sign reading "Eack j Sat

on some one of the farms in which
he Js Interested, or else out on In
specting trips In the interest of the
two farm loan associations of which
he Is secretary-treasurer. Uohrnstedt
was -raised on a faim. was for many
years in . banking and real' estate
mortgage work in the middle west.
and while he came west to atte nd
strictly-to farming ho cannot irt
away. from his early training of In

when tho Federal Farm Loan Act
was put into operation he was amor.,?
the first to . organize among his
friends and i neighbors tha Ilortlcul- v
turai National Farm Loan Associa
tion, and as a result the association
has approved loans for nearly $100,
000 and nearly $50,000 has already
been distributed among the farmers
at a rate of 5 per cent. This work
