1920 and 1900 His daughter married
Peter Jones and his daughter married

where Aaron is confused with Abram,
but as Aaron never appears again and
Abram appears constantly this is con-
clusive.) Miss Jones marries Newsom

Darrell and Erasmus Gill and Miss
Gill marrles Hinton, and Era SINUS
Gill is spoken of as the father of that

COIonists viii Total 10000.

If the present procession of cOIOnlsts
and homeseekers headed for the North
west, and particularly for Portland and
Oregon, keeps up, the former figures
of 30, 900 for the total movement will
have to be greatly revised. The new
comers have been arriving in just
about as steady stream this week as
they did the first Of the season, which
opened two weeks ago. The aggregate
will undoubtedly come close to 10000.
The Northern Pacific is handling
more than twice as many Colonists into
this territory as it brought out last
season This estimate is arrived at by
General Passenger Agent A. M.
Cleland, how wires to Portland that
for the first 10 days of the season they
have had over twice as much equip
ment to handle colonist and hOmeseek-
years movement. Indications, he
adds, point to continuation of the
heavy travel during the remainder Of
the season.
The Great Northern reports are
almost a tlattering for the general
westward trend, but much more so, so
far as Central Oregon is concerned.
This line being the parent to the Ore
gon Trunk, is getting the larger por-
tion of the business destined for the
interior.
All through st-bound trains on the
Hartman ssytem are carrying scores
of new settlers, the average train for
train now being in the neighborhood of
200. Nearly all the incoming trains
are being operated in two sections. -
