SAYS CENSUS
PAY TOO LOW
EASTES RECOMMENDS
ENUMERATORS
VriirVTIuil Four (ViiIn ii .Vnmc Will
' Not Prove Iiiduremeiil, However
Work hhould lleglil Knrty
, lit Jiiiiiinry.
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. Manlon. Frank

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

After three years and a half spent
In France, Miss Jane Dolletnblo,
daughter of A. llelletablo, Fleet

day, and left Monday for Fleetwood
where her father is seriously III. A
perilous trip across the Atlantic on
board tho Rotterdam, in which the
ship nearly foundered, and a
traus-contiuentnl railroad Journoy
full of hardships, wero told of by
Miss Uelletable, and after theso she
declared that the long stage ride held
few terrors for her.
Whllo the war was at Its height,
Miss llollotablo, then a resident ot
Philadelphia, took passage for
Franco, accompanying tlm body o( an
uncle, a native of Alsaco. Tho trip
completed, sho, found, that tho re

In discussing post-bellum condi

tho Frouch people to th memory of
the Amerlcnu soldiers who guvo their

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. One hundred and six

Tlio totnLreuched In tho year of
