Campbell And
BeIdsOe Appointed
Ashe Enun1erOtOrS
Bureau Of Census Announces That
Work Will Begin At
Early Date

Col. C. F. McAlister, Supervisor
of the Census of Business, today an
nounced that the two enumeratorS
have been appointed to present the
Census forms to business houses
and help them fill out the necessary
information. They are, Messrs. Geo.
M. Campbell of West Jefferson, and
J. r. Bledsoe, of Wagner.
MeSroe9ssaf his Sff1ce staaEf named
to date include, NJ. Chas. F. Refs
ner, Jr, Assistant Supervisor, of
Salisbury, Mrs. Opal Clayton, Sec
rotary, of Kannapolis, and Mr..
Whitehead Miller, Clerk, of Spen-
Ger, N. G.
Mr. McAllister stressed the fact
that information given enumerators
will be held in strict confidence. All
enumerators and other persons con-
nected with the Census work are
under a drastic Census Oath not to
disclose or discuss any information
submitted for Census purposes. The
Census Oath nor to disclose or dis
cuss any information submitted for
Census purposes. The Census is the
oldest bureau of the Government,
established nearly $50 years ago,
and never has it been convicted of
a violation of confidence.
He asked all business concerns to
cooperate with the enumerators
who call upon them for business
census data.
Describing the value of the Cen
sus, Mr.. McAllister said that from
the results, banks and financial
agencies are enable to extend COM
mercial credit more freely because
of more accurate knowledge of
what constitutes sound operating
expenses and stock ratios; newspa-
pers are enabled to establish the
consumer market in their circula-
ton fields; wholesalers are able to
make better appraisal of their i'm
mediate and potential trade terri
tories and thus avoid unproductive
expense; advertising agencies can
determine comprehensive and accu-
rate markets for various products;
retailers are supplied with needed
data on their competitive situation,
not only in their particular field but
also regarding the extent of other
kinds of competitive business. Real
estate values, proper rentals and
the basis for percentage leases are
frequently determined for business
census date, which have great
weight, because they are strictly
factual statements without preju-
dice.
AS fast as reports are received
they are sent to Philadelphia by
registered mail, where they are
carefully guarded. Five to eight
tabulating cards are punched to
record the information on each re,
port, and no names or addresses
appear on these cards. The cards
are tabu1ated with other cards to
produce the figures which are pub
Eshed and become the recognized

White Bluffs
Boosting Proposed Road
AS Aid To Valley
BY X. A. House
President, White Bluffs commercial
Club

The White Pass White BluHs
cross-state highway will follow IN
general a route from Lind to the
columbia river crossing at White
Bluffs and into the Yakima valley.
This portion of the proposed road
was used by the very early settlers
and was also the military road from
the east to Fort Si1ncoe.
On the east side of the Columbia
river is the section of 100000 acres
known as the Columbia Basin which
will be brought under cultivation
with the completion Of the nigh
dam at Grand Coulee. The White
Pass-White Bluffs crossstate high
way will pass almost directly thru
the heart of the Columbia Basin.
The Priest Rapids valley, now a
more or less isolated district, pro
duces an ever increasing tonnage

symer properly ripened produce
The White Pass White Bluffs cross
state highway would satisfy this
need.
On the west side of White Pass
within four miles of the proposed
road, lies the only known large de-
post of anthracite coal in the west
ern United States, something we
can all use when transportation ia
cilities are provided.
This cross-state highway is the
only practicable all-year route from
the eastern boundary of the state
to the very shores of the Pacific
ocean. This route would tie in with
. The Lolo Pass route in Idaho through
Pullman and Lewiston, thus insur-
ing the state of Washington its
share in the profitable tourist traffic.

Spokane
Sees More Tourist Traffic
In Inland Empire
By w. G. Owes
Sec, Publicity Tourist Bureau,
Spokane Chamber of Commerce

The White Pass White Bluffs
Highway, projecting a new road
from Southwestern Washington to
Eastern Washington, will be of ines
timable value to the Inland Empire.
With the increase in the number
of motor cars and a greater dispo-
sition in the public to become travel
minded, the construction of addi-
tional highway mileage anywhere in
the state of Washington is an asset
and an advantage.
But when the highway improve
ment taps virgin territory; provides
new, short and direct connecting
trunk between the territory East
and West of the Cascade Range, it
means this improvement will be Of
distinct and decided benefit to
both sections.
At the present time the citizens
of our Southwestern counties, in
order to come to Spokane, are
forced to go either north on the
Pacific Highway to Olympia and
Tacoma before turning east; or
south on the Pacific highway to
Vancouver and thence north via
the North Bank Highway and the
Status Cut-Of to Pasco. Of course,
the same situation applies to the
people of eastern Washington on
| the reverse movement.
The proposed White Pass-White
Bluffs Highway, in addition to CIV
ing citizens of these two sections OF
the state direct connection, will also
provide a new gateway to Washing
tons outstanding scenic attraction
Rainier National Park.
This highway, moreover, will pro-
vide an important East-West arte-
rial that will not only benefit the
citizens of the Evergreen State, but
will also be a vital factor in at
tracing and handling the stream
of out-of-state tourist travel that
, is coming in increasingly larger
volume each year.

thousands OF visitors from
all parts of central Wash
ington.
In the past two years that these
races have been held here, ncreas-
ing interest has been aroused IN the
event, and word from nearby COM
munities indicates that this years
crowd will far exceed that OF other
years.
And from present indications 11le
visitors will have a big day In store
for them, for there will be many
more boats-and nearly every one
of them faster-than before. va
kima boat owners say that there
are eight fast 9 class hydroplane
racers there which will be on the
course that day. Several of these
boats have won Pacific coast cham
pionships. They will be given plenty
of competition though, for there
will be several fast boats from Sc
attic and Wenatchee. Boats are also
expected from other points in the
northwest.
The drivers who appeared in the
races here last year are all enthu-
siastic about the event, declaring
that the Columbia river at this
point offers the best place for out
board racing in the northwest, due
to the fact that the current in the
river 'hattens out" the water, pre-
venting the choppy waves and back
wash which makes racing on the
lakes so difficult
At a meeting Tuesday evening OF
the White Bluffs Commercial club,
which has built up this event dur
| ing the past few years to one OF
the biggest attractions in this dis
trict, extensive plans for the races
were outlined and the following
men named to head the committees
| in charge of the event:
Boat committee, Wright Wlehl;
advertising, George Chase; food,
Paul Schicka; parking, Arno Krug,
and finance, w. j. Kincaid.

Pullman
And State Colleg to Profit
BY New Route
BY HI. E. Phelps
Chairman Road Committee, Pull
man Chamber of Commerce
BY H. E. Phelps

A good, direct highway from the
Yakima valley to Pullman will be
of value to Pullman and the State
College IN many respects. 1t Will
facilitate the attendance Of stu
dents whose home is in the valley,
and their parents and friends who
would like to visit them at times
during the school year.
Travel to Pullman is especially
heavy at the opening and close OF
college, at times of vacations, foot
ball and other games, entertain
inents and for such events as con-
ventions, meetings Of the Grange
and other groups, conferences OF
farmers, bankers and experts and
for the All Club Camp. A good
road will increase the numbers at
tending these events, to the mutual
benefit of those attending and the
State College.
The facilities and experimental
work of the Engineering and Agrl-
cultural Experiment Stations are OF
great value to farmers and indus
try. Many people visit these expert
ment stations to learn how they
may help them in the solution OF
their own problems, and good
road attracting greater number
should increase the usefulness OF
these college facilities.
,N>1o@~~~~~~ ~~~~>~o~~~~~
highway will also be of value TO
residents desiring to weekend at
Mount Rainier.
The White Pass connection should
be built to give a short cornee-
ton from Eastern Washington
points to the cities of the Southwest
part of the state and also Oregon
points. This territory will open up
a very scenic route for both resi-
dents and tourists, and should pro-
vide vacation land for many OF
us who really enjoy the Cascade
Mountains The state has long
needed a road connection between
Eastern Washington direct with
Southwestern counties, not only
from the stand point of tourist and
pleasure traffic, but shipping be-
tween these points.
The Cheney Chamber of Com
merce has long recognized the nee
essity for the early construction and
