of its branches 'that any schedule de
lfi-nfld to secure a fairly complete, ex
hibit of Its resources and operations
must necessarily contain a large num

operator will not be called upon to
answer one seventh of the printed
questions, hense, the formidable ap

"More than four months remain in
which to review the results of the
year 1909 and prepare for the visit
of the enumerator. But preparation
of a written record should be com

tempt to complete it in an evening,
the work should be divided as indi

products and so on through the list.
In this way each topic can be given
the consideration it deserves, arid

past week purchased the Hammond
Mills and holdings in Seattle and vie
inlty at an approximate cost of $500,
000. The property consists of the
largest flour 'mill ih Seattle and has
a capacity of 2000 barrels a day. T.
P. Wilcox, head of the Portland
Flouring Mills, and associates con
ducted the negotiations leading to the
purchase. He said the growth of Se
attle has made it advantageousi to
have a mill there and the purchase
includes a number of warehouses in
Washington and the agency of the
Hammond concerns in San Francisco.
The Portland company now has four
teen mills running, night . and day in
different parts of the Northwest and
is now turning put an enormous product.
Ill Health Is More Expensive Than
Any Cure.
This country is now filled with peo
pie who migrate across the continent
la all directions seeking that which
gold cannot buy. Nine-tenths of them
are suffering from throat and lung
trouble or chronic catarrh resulting
from neglected colds, and spending
fortunes vainly . trying to regain lost
health. Could every sufferer but un
do the past and cure that first neg
lected cold, all this sorrow, pain, anx
iety and expense could have been
avoided. Chamberlain's., Cough Rem
edy is famous for its cures of colds,
and can always be depended upon.
Use it and the more serious diseases
may be avoided. For sale by P. M.
Kirkland.
WORKING FOR
PO
HOMESTEADERS
P. A. Flnselb, the leading merchant
of Dallas, was In Independence
Wednesday. He waa hi re working In
the Interests of the early Bllots Bot
tlers. It will be remembered that
loess homesteaders are In trouble
with the Interior department through
the blauket order of Secretary Hitch
cock and are threatened with losing
thilr claims. Mr. Flnseth and a nura
bir of other gentlemen are circulat
ing In aeveral of the valley countlea
petitions which will be presented to
members of Congress and it is hoped
that a bill will be passed allowing the
early faithful settlers their rights In
the matter.
In speaking of the matter to the
Enterprise Wednesday Mr. Flnseth
said: "We are getting signers to
petitions which are being circulated
In Polk, Marlon, Linn anil Lincoln
counties. These petitions will be pre
sented to Congress and It Is hoped
that recognition from that body will
be had and that a bill will be passed
entitling the early aettlers to the
lands which they entered In good
faith and made homes on.
"What has made most troublo,"
continued Mr. Flnseth, "Is the squat
ters who have come In. through tim
ber land locators of Portland and are
attempting to appropriate these lands.
We will expect that the rulo of prior
ity will operate in our favor and that
Congress will protect us who have
made homes in that sec tion. Our pe
tition is meeting with general favor
everywhere signers are asked ior. It
wag the first settlers, ot tho Slleti
reservation who are deserving of rec
ognition. They built homes there,
cultivated the sol! and made roads
and trails into the country. We feel
confident that the Interior Depart
ment will finally recognize, the rights
of the early .settlers of the SHetz
reservation." - - '. -
