Our Uncle Samuel Is
After Facts.
The Census Taking Questions to BIZ
Answered--Q Quarantine inter-
feres Hard at Work.

"The local Census Bureau matters
are pretty we'll tied up just at pres
ent by the quarantine" said James
w. Girvin yesterday. 1--WE are, on
that account, doing a great amount of
work by mail and receiving answers
testifying to the willingness of corre-
spondents to give us all assistance in
their power. We first addressed the
sugar planters, sending them a sample
schedule, which they will have to fill
by next June in answering the census
questions. Letters were then sent to
the leading men of the different dis
tricts, and their cooperation in the
work of the census-taking was read
lily secured.
There are but five districts in which
provision for the demonstrating have
not been made We are now ready to
go out and work, but are embarrassed
by the strict health regulations. The
semi-ofieial report of $4,000 people in
Honolulu has changed our calculations
considerably as, at the outside, we had
estimated about $4,000 population in
the Kona district and had figured upon
nineteen men as sufficient to do the
work. The town had been carefully
districted and sub-divided, as it is in
large district. The Kona district ex-
tends from near Paul Isenberg's place,
at Waialae, to Moanalua.
"The Chinatown fires came and the
population of the thickly settled parts
was distributed around so that the
work of mapping out will have to be
partially gone over. 1t has been found
that the Island of Lanai, which was
thought to have population of about
200 souls, all told, is occupied by some
600 people; and the work there that
we thought might be done by one man
in a short time will take much longer
to complete. The electoral districts, as
defined by the code, have not been
changed by us, but sub-divided, so, in
case we were called upon to show the
population of any one division, il
might be readily done.
''Mr Merriam, chief of the Censu!
Bureau, has been very kind in render
, ing us all necessary aid in our Difficult
ty. Twice lately we have written en-
couraging letters to him of the situa
ton; but we seem now to be as mucl
tied UP as ever again. Our mail, b.
arrangement with the Government, i
all ranked In our letters of inquir.
, we enclose ranked envelope for re
ply"
Although hampered as regards out
side work, the Office of the local cen
sus-takers is a busy place. There ar
six sets of blanks to be labeled an,
numbered, and as the subdivisions @
the districts are many, the work j
very tedious, and must be very care
fully done to avoid mistakes.

DEMOCRACY ON BRYAN.

The executive committee OF
the gold democratic party issued
a stirring address to the men,
bers of the party last Friday.
The gold democratic organiza-
ton will cast its vote directly
for Mr.. Mckinley this year, and
not indirectly as it did four years
ago. The address concludes:
"Mr. Bryan seeks power by
an appeal to the anti-expansion
and antitrust sentiment of the
people. The difficulties Of our
external policy were unforeseen,
as their solution is at present
unrevealed. The evil of trust
has no party parentage, and will
be remedied by the combined in
telligence of all parties. With
out minimizing the perils of
either, We affirm that no greater
evil can befall our government
than the impairment of its
vigor, the destruction of our
credit and the ruin OF our indus
tries, which Mr.. Bryan is special
ly pledged to effect if he gets fhe
power. Therefore we appeal 10
our countrymen again to avert
disaster to their country by his
defeat"

PRETTY NEAR IT.

The Republican National
Committee has gone over the
political situation thoroughly
and carefully and has given its
estimate of the result of the
presidential election. As it
is less than a month until
election day the situation is
not apt to be materially
changed from now on. The
following is the very conserva-
tive report of the committee:
1.-THE committee, desiring to
be careful and conservative in
any statement they give to the
public, assert that the republi-
cans will carry the following
states beyond question: Califor-
mia, g; Connecticut, 6, Della
ware, 3; Illinois, "a; Iowa, 13;
Kansas, 10; Maine, 6; Mary
land, 8; Massachusetts,, IS; Min
nesota, g; Michigan, "a; New
Hanshire, a; New Jersey, 10;
New York, &C.; North Dakota, 8;
Ohio, 20; Oregon, 4, Pennsyl-
venia, 81; Rhode Island, 4; S..
Dakota, 4; Vermont, 4; Wash
ington, 4; West Virginia, 6;
Wisconsin, IL; Wyoming, 8;
total 200; necessary to elect,
224.
"This does not place Indiana
in any column with its IS votes.
The fight in Indiana will be
closer than in any of the other
states, but with the thorough or
aanization which the republi-
cans have in that state, and with
a popular state ticket, the
chances are very largely that
these votes will be found in the
Mckinley column, which would
give 281 electoral votes for Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt, as against
271 votes received four years
ago"

Freight Rate OH Lumber.

NJ. J. Miles, a lumberman from
Wisconsin, and who has spent
considerable time recently in
the vicinity of the Siletz Indian
reserve, has formed a very favor
able opinion Of the timber of
that section. According to Mr..
Miles the price of stumpage in
Wisconsin is about as much
as it will cost to ship from Ore
|gon East. Stumpage in the
East is sold at $I2 per thousand
while the freight rate is $13.
As result Of the gentleman's S
investigations i: is evident that
on the Siletz river there is a
vast forest of very valuable tim
Der and it appears that Eastern
'squatters'' have already located
on the most valuable part of it.
From what he says, there is
water sufficient III the river to
carry great RATS down to the
mouth, where sawmills will in
time be located. Furthermore,
there is plenty of water on the
bar to admit fair-sized schooners
to enter the river and load lum-
Der for the markets. Regarding
Oregon lumber and the Eastern
market, Mr.. Miles is of the
opinion that the present rate will
not keep our product at home.
In this connection he says:
He has seen a great deal of
coast fir going by his station
bound for Atlantic seaports, and
even great logs 100 feet long
and squaring IS inches at their
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1900-10-09

tops have gone by on three fat
cars marked for "Cork, Ireland. !"
Although considerable timber is
still scattered about the East and
South, and the Oregon FIR is
looked upon as the best, and is
bound to make a market for
itself, even though the freight
amounts to SIS per thousand, as
at present. He has no fears OF
the Oregon forests giving out for
a good many years, as he has
been among several of them,
and they discount any portion OF
the Great Lake region in magni-
tude.
