North Dakota heads the list, with 36.5 birth per ii 000 population, and Utah comes sec ond with - 35.2 per 1,000. Oklahoma hit 33.7 and New Hampshire IS, per 1,000. 1 , Tb. bableB in this country, it BeemE have a much better chance to live and reach a mature age than those in ot her countries. It is noted that the birth list in Italy, Austria and Hun gary Is higher than the United States but that, the excess of births over deaths is much lower. American bab ies are either stronger or take bet ter care of formore of them sur- vlve the trials of babyhood than the babies of the countries just mention Cut notwithstanding these facts the figures show that the size of the ave rage American family is decreasing. In 1807 the number of person which constituted an average family was 5.1 persons. In .1880 It , was decreased to five; in 1890 to 4.9.. Jn 1900 to 4.7. This is not easily , acounted for if the figures Just given are correct. Already these bright spring dnys have caused building operations to commence.

There is supposed to be a con Latest gest on for chief of police but It Is ,' difficult to scqure an expression from anyone 'jP8 to the 'probable-, re' .julL With four candidates; in he - field there never was before such apathy. Dnrlng the last- few days "It W reported' that the possible' only real contest may be in the Second ward between J. E. Reynolds and T. II. Flemming for a aeat In the council 'ytm : O r,.:, Pattern and The voting, of a $40,000 bond is sue for sewerage Is taken for grant ed. The first real Interest in this appeared yesterday when two well known boosters, ladies by the way, of which La Grande is blessed wit1) many, wanted to know if they could vote for the bond Issue. The char ter ' of La Grande prevents womn from voting. Some day this may be changed.
