Wh'll'i recommendation for census enumerators for ull of Deschutes county have been made, there is Nome doubt uh to whether enough ot them will servo, at tho rate of compensation allowed by tho govern ment, to make possible u. comprehen sive and accurate survey o( the pop ulation of city or county. This Is tho opinion of Judge, J. A. Ksstes, who becmiKo of his prominence iocul- ly In tho democratic party, was nuked by District Census Supervis or W, A Tcrrill, to suggest tho names of those who could be depend ed on for the most careful work. Kour cants per nnmo Is ullowed for city census inkers', and Judge Kustcs, expressed the fear that this may not prove a sufficient Inducement to men and women of the decree of ability needed. In announcing the names or those ho has recommended. Judge Raster emphasized thu fact that party al- leglunco has played no part la his selections "These havo been made, entirely with the Intention of secur ing those best qualified for tho Job," hu said. "I mado no effort to ioiiru tho parly leanings of nrry of the In dividuals whose names I sent In to Mr. Tcrrill, nut I happen to know that fully a many of them are repub lics tfsi'as democrat." With the ex coptfon of Itcdmotid, and tho. north end country, these recommendations cover tho entire county. Tho names of prospective enumer atora fcuggestod hy Mr. Hustes are as fplcjw's' Mrs. H.

After being closed down for 19 days, tho sawmills of tho Ilrooks Hcunlon Lumber Co., and Tho Shev-lln-IHion. Comjiuiiy resumed opera tion Monday. Tho IlrookK-Scanlon plant started up at 8 o'clock In tho morning, while three of the bauds nt (he fiehvlIn'HIxon mill wero put In operation at noon. The fourth will resume cutting Friday. Tho shutdown was due originally to tho heavy huowb and Intense cold of early December, tho log pond be ing frozen over solidly, while the depth of snow prevented work In tho yards. When it whs seen that the period of -enforced idleness might be of some duration, however, the op portunity was taken for the annual overhauling of mill machinery and equipment, so that, ns a matter of fact, but little loss of timo was caused bu tho unusual weather. At tho Ilrooks-Scanlon mill, a number of Improvements wero found necessary, two now carriages being Installed, the steam feeds, rebored, und n now band wheel being put In. Now tracks wero laid, and practical ly every bearing In tho plant was re-babbited. Many men In tho woods wc.ro with out work during Iho period of non operation, and of theso a consider able proportion left tho city. Most of them were back, ready to go to work however and It aa learned that the shutdown had 'been merely seized as the chance (or a va cation trip.

The year Just drawing to a clow has been generally recognized an the most prosperous In the hIMory of Jha city, and that this prosperity has been well distributed. Is evidenced by tho pnusual activity In building. Figures furnished by City Recorder 1). H. Peoples show that permits" for con struction ot houses, stor , office, and school buildings, and for repairs and additions allow an expendlturo ot no less than $277,203. Of this, by far tho greater part was Tor now coaj struction, and that the total was net caused by a few largo Items, but represented many Individual expend itures. Is shown by tho fact that tho permits totalled 225,' making an, aver age of $1,232. ' A largo part of the total outlay was for houses, only two realty large items, tlioco ot tho K nwood school for $40,000 and the O'Donncll build ing for $19,000. uppearlng on the list. Theso brought up tho overage, which otherwise would bare boon somewhat low on account of a num ber of permits for repairs and slight alterations which were Issued. K-timnto Thought Ixnr. That the total given represents only about CO per cent of tho actuat, cash outlay represented In building in the year, of 1919. is tho opinion of the city recorder,. If this Is the case, the total, instead Of $277,203, wouk be $iG2.Qu'F. Jr., Peoples bases his belief on tho fact that In practic ally uvery inkut'ce; the riving east of materials nnd labor caused a greuter expense than that which had been originally estimated and given in tho building permits, while the passage of the city orditUiuco ,1a Juue calling for permit fees gradu ated to (conform to the estimated cost of tho building; Induced most conservative estimates. , In surveying the construction list authorized by the city, it Is noted that only two buildings already men' tioned ns the two chief Items, ex ceeded $10,000. Two wero above $5,000 and less than $10,000., 13 wero $3,000 or ubovo. and lessathaa $5,000. 32 werbetweou $2,000 Tand $3,000. 22 Km between $1,000 ana ?2,000, and 3R woro between $500 and $1,000.
