Why Endorse It?
"Why Is It," Bflka a younjr man. "that thoy al:
wn's want you to endorse a check at tho bank?"
Tho. reason Is slmplo. Tlio endorsement is your re
ceipt for tho money. A check Is an order on tlio
bank to pay some particular person a certain amount
of monoy. Tlio person making tho check wants to
know that his wishes aro fulfilled tliat tho person
ho rIvcs tho check to Rota his money. It la much
simpler, easier, and safer, to leave tho monoy In tho
bank and then pay your bills by check. On account
of tho endorsement as abovo explained there la a
complete record of each transaction. "Please sco
that all chocks and drafts are endorsed,0

According to reports received from
wijsly acattered portions of this
district, Vernon A. Forbca ot Hcnd
baa tho very beat of chances to re
ceive tho Republican nomination for
tsio representative ai mo loan
coming prlmarle.
While Mr. Forhe has not cam
paigned very actively, ho haa come In
contact with luadera throughout tho
district, and haa a wldcapread sup
port. "Hut I am not banking on Indi
vidual backing," said Mr. Forbes.
"Hut rather upon tho pooplo at large,
and especially tho settlers, for It la to
tliora that I particularly address my
self. Wo need men over In Salem
who will look after the Central and
Eastern Oregon tottler, and If I am
fortunaio enough to get tho oppor
tunity I want to show that tho
settlora Intoreata aro my Intercats."
Mr. Forbca then went on to elabor
ate somewhat upon what ho consid
ered would bo chiefly advantageous
to residents east of tho Cascades.
Having been a Central Orogon real
dent for year, and having traveled
extensively through tho central por
tions of tho state, hla experience
Well qualifies him to underatand the
needa ot the territory hla frlon
hopo ho will reprcsout.
"No, I don't suppose I havo any
real hard and fast platform," said
Mr. Forbes when askod to atato ex
actly what ho stood ror. "Kccpt."
ho addod, "tho Interests ot the
settlors.
"If I go to Salom I will do all I can
to, secure legislation tbaf will, tend to
make atato land matters .more public.
I think every meeting of tho Land
Itoard should bo absolutely public
Particularly I bellovo that no meet
ing should bo bold, atwhlch matter
of local Interest aro to bo discussed,
until the settlers affected havo been
notified and given a chance to get
hofore the Hoard. Too often repre
sentatives of corporations have been
ablo to get special meetings held, and
tlioro- railroad through what they
wanted practically without the set
tlers knowing what was going on
until It was too late.
Mr. Forbes contends that under
tho existing laws It Is too easy for a
corporation to get a segregation, and
to hold It without any luiprovomont.
"I'erhaps that wouldn't bo bo bad,
only tho companies that got tho good
laud keep tho little fellows from hav
ing a chanco to Improvo It. Wo
need far stricter laws and far stricter
application of the land laws wo have.

tion toward handling It."
Asked regarding what he thought
would bo(tho best disposal system for
Dend, ho said that, while not yet
very familiar with the local situation,
the aeptlc tank method, with over
flow disposal used, for Irrigation pur
poses, probably w'puld be tho best.
