FARM CENSUS SCHEDULES !.
BEING DISTRIBUTED

Five hundred copies Of the schedules
for the 1880 census have been sent
to the County Extension Agent for
distribution to farmers of the County
These are being mailed out to farm
ers in every community of the County
as rapidly as time can be found to
get them addressed. People receiving
them are supposed to fill out the
schedule between now and the first
of April, so as to have the informa-
tion ready to give to the census en-
merator when he calls This schedule
is not to be mailed to Washington
nor is it to be given to the person
taking your census report, but is
merely sent to you for your con-
venience in making up your report a.
head of time and to save time on the
part Of the census taker.
The Bureau of Census wishes to
have the census report just as &C
curate as possible and are urging
that everything be done that is pos
sible to enable farmers to make a
complete and accurate report to the
emmerator. If you have not received
copy of the schedule within a week
or ten days it is probable that you
will not receive one. We suggest
that if you have not received one
that you get in touch with neighbors
in your community who may have re-
ceived a copy and look it over SO that
you may know pretty well the in
formation which will be asked for.

THREE LAND DEALS MADE

Herman Heideman this week gave
fifty year lease on tract of APP
proximately four acres of land lying
between the Mrs. T. B. Burns place
and the Columbia river to George
Medina. Mr.. Heideman purchased the
tract few years ago from Judge
]. T. Rorick of The Dalles. Medina
is Filipino and ineligible to citizen
ship in this country and therefore
cannot own property in the United
States. The fifty year lease, however,
in this instance is to all intents and
purposes equivalent to a dead. JUS
tice of the. Peace M. S.. Meeks pre-
pared the papers in the transaction.
A. T. Hostetter this week sold
his state settlement tract north of
town to T. ]. Clarke. The place is
one of the best of the state settle
ment tracts. A good part of it is
set out to young orchard of soft
fruit that will soon be in bearing. Mr..
Hostetter will hold an auction sale
Of his personal property Saturday of
this week and plans to move his
family back to Tacoma. Mr. Clarke
says he will turn the place over to
his sons, who will care for it.
Glenn Dick sold his state settle
ment tract north of town Thursday
to Mrs Jessie e. Drew Of Tacoma,
who will take immediate pr session.
Mrs. Drew's son O. Johnson, and
Mrs. Johnson, will with her and
care for the ranch. Both Mr., and
Mrs. johnson were here working
in the fruit last fall.

n. ]. Upton WRECKS CAR

On his way home from Neppel
Thursday evening of last week H. ].
Upton met with an auto accident
about ten miles north. of Warden. At
that point the highway passes under
a railroad bridge. abe road there
makes half rs" turn and although
Mr.. Upton had slowed down the car
to 10 or Is miles an hour, the back
of the machine, which was heavily
loaded with produce, skidded on the
snow and the back fender struck
one of the pilings supporting the
bridge. This threw the front end in
the opposite direction and the car
jammed between the two pilings, CROSS
ways of the road. Although he was
pitched rather violently forward, Mr..
Upton, by throwing. his arms up
across his face, avoiding any injury
except severe jolting.
Unable to move the car, Mr.. Tip
ton had to walk about four miles to
a ranch home for help. After con-
siderable pulling and hauling the car
was finally loosened from it's anchor
age. Two. Of the tenders were badly
bent and the car Ssso. damaged by
a twisted axle and spring.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
NAMES COMMITTEES

Sixteen members were present at the
regular monthly meeting of the White
Bluffs Commercial Club at the Com
mercial hotel Monday evening. This
was the meeting at which each MEM
Der was to come prepared to offer
something that appealed to him and
nearly every one responded with
something entertaining or instructive.
After dinner President w. ]. Kin
caid called the meeting to order and
announced the following committees
who will serve during the year 1880,
the first named being the chairman OF

Russell Miller and ]. M. Shinn.
A communication from the State
Chamber of Commerce was read, in
which it asked the local commercial
bodies in the state to recommend
those of the eleven projects listed that,
in their judgment, should be the ones
undertaken by the state chamber dur
ing the year. The chair appointed F.
A. English, Edmund Anderson and
Oscar Ldngnecker as committee to
make these recommendations.
The proposition of promoting bet
ter understanding and closer cooper
alton with other civic bodies in the
community was discussed and to- this
end motion was passed instructing
the entertainment committee to get in
touch with the Grange to arrange a
joint entertainment of some kind.
A motion was unanimously passed
commencing F. A. English for his
work in connection with the White
Bluffs Band and the help he has given
the boys of the community along
musical lines.

to an ad that the White Bluffs
Woman's Club had submitted and
which it proposed to insert in the
State Federation Bulletin, the official
paper of the Woman's Clubs in the
state. This ad reads: "White Bluffs,
in the heart of the Priest Rapids Val
ley, the earlist soft fruit section Of the
state. Ideal conditions for dairying and
Poultry Raising"
H. ]. Upton outlined a plan for
bringing about better trade relations
with this valley and the wheat coun-
try around Othello for mutual ex-
change of farm p'ioducts. On motion
the chair appointed Mr.. Upton, R. S.
Reierson and Edmund Anderson as a
committee to work out and develop
this plan.

One sees in the paper once in
while pictures of bathing beauties cav
orting on the beaches during the winter
months or snowballing high up in the
mountains. These pictures are always
interesting and new" because the
scene are unusual-we mean the season
and the costumes, of course, and not
what you are thinking about. The
fact that there is camera around to
record the scene no doubt helps the
morale of the bathing beauties on
such occasions. A White Bluffs couple,
however, took a plunge through the
ice into the Columbia river recently
but as there was no camera around
the Spokesman is substituting for one.
Mr.. and Mrs. Loyal Borden were re-
turning to their home on the east side
Of the Columbia last Sunday night
after spending the day with Mrs.
Borden's sister, Mrs. w. L. Schwisow,
in White Bluffs. The crossing of the
river was being made by pushing their
rowboat ahead of them on the ice to
the open water, which was negotiated
with the boat, to the ice jam on the
east side of the river. Everything went
lovely until just before they reached
the current when the ice gave way
and the couple were plunged into the
ICY waters up to their arm pits. Both,
however, hung onto the boat and soon
scrambled aboard. The trip from there
on home was made more or less hur-
riedlv for their cold. wet clothing was
not adding anything to their comfort.
Neither Of them, though, have SUI
fered any ill effect from their unusual
experience but say they would not
want to take it up as regular bust
ness.

MACHINES RUN
 OVER TELEPHONE
New Device Will Tell Operator
 Instructions Followed

Schenectady N. Y, Sept. A R- Operation of machines by tele- phonic device is the most recent an nouncement of the General Electric Company. It is now possible, accord ing to the announcement, to 'tele- phone" to a machine and have the machine inform you it is following your instructions. Moreover, this particular machine will respond to it's own telephone" number. Tech
 6cally, the device is known as audible selector type supervisory equipment"
 The operator, who may be many miles distant from the machine, operates a dial similar to that on dial telephones using a code num- Der. The electrical impulses are transmitted over wires to electric switches, known as selector switch es, in the distant ub-stations.
 These switches correspond to the code numbers on the dial, and they will control only the particular unit that the operator has in mind At the same time the switches start sending back automatically to the operator by means of a device called a "howler," the code number

LEADERS OF i. 0. P.
 STUDY DRY STAND
AntiSaloon League Issues State
 ment on Futile Candidacy

Albany. N Y, Sept. A tP With trouble threatened 'ho matter what they decide. state republican leaders were struggling today with the problem whether to go wet, dry or moist in the convention opening here tomorrow.
 The extreme vets, led by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler and former Senator James W. Wadsworth, re- mained uncomprising in their de- mand for a wet candidate and plank asking repeal of the 18th amendment and the Women's Christian Temperance Union had not softened it's threat to put a dry third party ticket in the field if the republican gubernatorial candidate and the platform were not dry in every sense of the word.
 And to add to the troubles of the leaders. there was a general belief that United States Attorney Charles H. Futile. believed first by many voters to be in the race for the nom- ination for governor, would not ac- cept the nomination unless the plat form coincided with his demand for repeal of the 18th amendment.
 One development, however, was a real comfort to the leaders. Fred A. Victor, state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, surprised everybody by a statement that MT. Futile deserved the 'tenthusiastic support of all right minded citizens" if he would agree to respect, obey, enforce and defend the constitu- tion." This was taken to mean the Anti-Saloon League would support the wet MT. Futile if he would pledge to enforce the dry law so long as it remained on the statute books. Whether the dry organization would agree to a repeal plank in the platform was not made known.
 The Anti-Saloon League state ment was believed in some quarters to minimize the danger of strong dry bolt.
 While MT. Futile continued to be the leading candidate for the head of the ticket the name of Attorney General Hamilton Ward was men, toned more and more as possible compromise candidate. Mir. Ward has not committed himself on the prohibition question. He has been pledged the support of the wet Erie County delegation to the last ditch because he is an Erie County man

"A R - If means are found within the govern ment's economy program, work of unearthing the Avenue of the Dead'' in the Teotihuacan archeolo- gical zone will be begun soon with the object of bringing to light what it is believed will prove, one of the most interesting monuments of an- tiquity in Mexico.

 The pyramid of the sun, larger in mass than the Egyptian pyramids although not so high, stands at the entrance to the zone. It was uncov- cred long ago and tourists who mount to it's top can look down over the citadel and several other re- trieved monuments, while within view are numerous mounds which archeologists believe cover buried edifices.
 Work of uneevering the relics has not proceeded in recent years for lack of money, but the government hopes to find sufficient funds at hand soon to continue it.
