Census Questions.

The blank schedules to be used
in the next census are now being
distributed by the census offices to
the enumerators who will go to work
on June LIST. The schedules con-
tain questions which many people
may thing prying, pnrposeless or
excessive in number, but these
questions have been determined by
congress, not by the census Office,
and all of them have been asked in
previous censuses. The only I'M
portant change since 1890 is that
some questions have been aban.
doned. On this question there are
many features of Importance hing
ing. such as the determination Of
the number of males and females,
their ages, etc., in the United States.
All arguments regarding the future
of any particular race or class ol
people in this country, such as the
Indian, Negro or Cinnamon, must
hinge on the census.

county generally. Why does he not
come forward and say he has bought
these supplies economically? He can
not deny the transaction referred to re-
garding the $50 book. he cannot deny
the souvenir distribation bearing the
inscription Compliments of Virvil E.
Waters, Clerk" All the statements
made are true and he knows it. The
sooner we get clerk that will look out
for our interests and not so much for his
own and that of his book and supply
firm the better for us. Let US have a
man for clerk that will not sue us for
deputy hire at $50 month, and will not
try to get the county into law suit
with the city of Corvallis; that will not
ask US to pay him for registering voters,
and then ask us to vote for him because
he is doing it for nothing; that will do
our business as clerk should do it.

in this vicinity, because we make
constant effort to show a larger

not easy to do satisfactory kid

experience, careful buying, con-
scientious selling and a willing

profit. We recognize all these
requirements and conform to them.
That's why Corvallis women can
get better gloves here for the

The management of the state

at an agreement whereby they will
each select different date for their

Throughout Oregon the stock
raising industry is rapidly assum-
ing proportions Of great magnitude.
Benton county sends to the mar
kets great numbers of beef cattle,
as well as sheep and hogs every
year. The John Osburn stock farm
has sent to market many carloads
of fine beef cattle this year, and
when the steamer Elder sailed she
had on board carload Of beef cat
tie from that farm for the consump-
tim of the gold-seekers of that
far northern region. At about the
time these cattle will reach Cape
Nome a large shipment of the
81. o. brand will arrive in Liver
pool, England. So it will be seen
that our home industries are often
of greater Importance and larger
proportions than many people sup
pose, even though they live fo1
years almost at the door of an in.
dustry or business.

Notes From Washington.

I
The following interesting extracts
are taken from a letter by Cor
vallisite now in Washington D. c..
to this paper:
Icame East via several 'scenic'
roads but I saw nothing half SC
grand as natures pictures along
the Columbia. The west bound
trains were filled with home-seekers
fortunate people.
Bryan boarded our train at Lin
coin, but he kept himself closely
tied up in his Pullman apartments
until we reached Chicago. Proba'
bly, he did not feel well. He had
been initiated in an Elk lodge the
night before and helped partake Of
a $4,000 wine supper. Two Lincoln
democrats told me that Bryan
would lose his state this fall on ac-
count of the democratic resentment
at his action in urging the appoint
ment of Allen (populist) for sena,
tor.
The populists (the faction for
merly known as the middle Of the
Roaders," are going to make a
lively campaign. All the original
populists in the East seem to be
associating themselves with the
Barker and Donnelly party, and
it is generally conceded that the
fusion pops will be no more after
this year-the leaders going direct
ly into the democratic ranks and
and the masses drifting into the
several parties. The populist party
Of the South never did favor fusion.
Barker and Donnelly will poll a
heavy vote in November, heavy
enough to justify its claim to bring
"the" third party.
[ will take an added interest in
the decoration day exercises in
Washington from the fact that an
Oregonian is to deliver the address.
Our representative, Thomas H.
Tongue, has been invited to act
as orator, and he has accepted.
This is only one of the many evi-
dences I have seen of the Washing
ton recognition of Tongues ability
and strength. He is regarded as
one of the,' powers" of the house-no
small distinction, when the average
congressman is really small pota-
toes, indeed. His case illustrates
the saying, "genius is the capability
of constant labor" for there is no
harder worker in congress than
Oregon's representative from the
first district.
Mr.. Tongue will not leave his
work to do campaigning in his dis
trict. He knows that he has done his
utmost to represent properly the
people of the district and he be-
lieves that the citizens know this
and that they realize that he will
be in a better position to forward
needed measures than a new man
possibly could be. Reports from
the several counties indicate that
his majority will be largely in ex-
cess of that of two years ago.
Hot weather in Washington has
commenced already and we can un-
derstand the sweltering that is in
store for US during the summer
months.
Brady Burnett passed bis exami-
nation and goesto work next week.
Henry Allen and wife are light
housekeeping. Henry has been at
his desk for several days. He is
