JO.(Special)—Wash ington county’s quota in Oregon Poster Stamps totals 145,500 of the 6,750,000 the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce plans to place in cir culation during 1930 in its "Build ing Oregon!” program, it was an- announced from headquarters here today by W. G. lde, manager of the organization. Campaign plans for placing the stamps which tells facts and invites inquiries about agricul tural, scenic and industrial resoui- ces of Oregon are now being pet- fected for the 36 counties and the 922 cities and towns in the state. Each county quota has been com puted on the basis of “a stamp per business ikiy per business man.” “ Oregon Poster Stamps," says lde "are a vital and important part of the ‘Build Oregon!’ program for the coming year. They accomplish a dis tinct two-fold purpose of advertis ing Oregon’s resources and possibili ties in a most colorful and effec tive way and they create the state chamber’s budget fund to carry on its program of work.” The stamps are printed in four colors, 30 different stamps to the page, and are bound in various size books. They will be sold to business men of the state to be attached to their outgoing mail at the rate of $1.00 per page.

It won’t be long now until the census takers will be abroad in the land, counting noses to determine the exact size of Uncle Sam’s big family and gathering statistics covet ing everything under the sun. It’s a big job, and one as import ant as it is big. If the real facts are not brought out census figures are misleading and pave the wa> for mistti««* in the future. For that rea son no one should regard the cen sus taker with suspicion, or furnish him with false statements, or seek to evade answering his questions correctly. He is not sent out to over-value your property, to raise your taxes or to pry into your pri vate affairs. For that reason full and free answers should always be made to the questions he will have to ask. Our now census will be nothing more than a stock-taking of the tui tion and its resources—a guide for future development and improve ment. The exact size of the nation, along with actual conditions of agri culture, stock-raising, industry and employment cannot be secured in any other way. And we profit in our daily lives through knowing ex actly how far we have progressed in 10 years, and what is needed to in_ sure further progress. W e feel sure everybody around here will co operate with the census-takers when they start out on their ttisk. It is just another way of demon strating good citizenship and loyalty to the country and its institutions. Giant Grove of Tree* Attracts Thousands of Motorists Indescribable awe overcomes one when in the presence of what is re puted to he the oldest, as well as the largest, tree in the world.

Popularly the c --~ oi»« are known as "the big trees of Califor nia" Millions of them are scattered throughout the twelve groves in the Sequoia and General Grant National Parks—both of which are included in the boundaries of the Sequoia Na tional forest and approximately 12,000 of these trees exceed ten feet in diameter.
