The Enterprise, White Salmon, WA., February 10, 1911, page 5
"Local Items"

     J.L. Sutherland went to Olympia on Monday to present the bill that, if passed, will place White Salmon county on the map. He was selected by the committee as the best qualified man for that mission. The bill will be placed before the committee covering the formation of counties, where arguments will be made for and against reporting the bill to the House, and Mr. Sutherland will do all that he can to have the committee send it out with a recommendation that it pass. The bill will probably be presented to the Legislature by Representative Hornibrook of this county. In the Senate John E. Chapell, the representative of this district, will be for the bill, if true to his declaration during the campaign when he said he was in favor of county division if a majority of the west end of the county wanted it.
