Hermlston Farmer Grows Belligerent Yates Would Prevent Federal .Employees Digging Ditch ' i, Across Land. " - Hermlston, Ore., June 1. Armed with a shotgun and reinforced with a foreman aicd wlt'a a hawserFred Yates is holding the fort at his fana on the outskirts of Hermlston and defying the forces of the government. So far the beligerent farmer has held the government forces at bay but it is presumed that he will be compelled by the courts to withdraw from his warlike attitude and permit the fed eral employes carrying out their in tentions which are to open a dith across the Yates farm. It seems that the old Maxwell com pany which disposed of its rights and holdings to the government when the reclamation service took charge of the project, had a ditch across th particular piece of land and that this ditch, together with the remainder of the company's possessions, was turn ed over to the government. Nothing was done with it, however, and acting on the assumption that it had been abandoned, Yates filed it up, set out his fruit trees and proceeded to till his farm, Just as though there were no ditch. Recently the reclamation service engineers decided that it was necessary to open up the ditch and so notified Yates who Bent back word that It would not be opened up. This morning a crew of laborers was sent out to perform the work whereupon they were met at the Yates boundary line by the belligerent owner who is still in possession, with the ditch un opened. It Is believed the next move of the government will be to secure an In Junction preventing Yates from inter fering with the work of opening vv the ditch. Department of the Interior, U. S.

Special Re ligious census are being completed at a rapid rate. Among some of the data complied Is the following: The cities Bhowing the largest pro portions of Protestant communicants are Memphis, 84.4 per cent; Toledo, 70 per, cent; Washington, 66.9 per cent; Kansas City, Mo., 66.2 per cent; and Indianapolis, 62.1 per cent. The cities showing the largest per centage of Roman Catholic communi cants are Fall River, 86.5 per cent; San Francisco, 81.1 per cent; ' New Orleans, ,79.7 per cent;. .New York, 76.9 per cent; Providence 76.5' per cent; St. Louis, 69 per cent; Boston, 68.7 per cent; Chicago, 68,2 per cent; and Philadelphia, 51.8 per cent. ' In the five leading cities the pro portion of communicants to ' popula tion was: New York, 41.7 per cent; Chicago, 40.7; Philadelphia, 38.8; Bos ton! 62.6; and St. Louis, 46.6 per cent. It is stated that, in general, cities which have a relatively large Roman Catholic population show a higher percentage of church members than cities Jn which this body has a com paratively small representation. In Fall River .86.5 per cent of the total number of members reported wer? Roman Catholics and ithe church membership represented 67.8 per cent of the population, while In Memphis, where 84.4 .per cent of the communi cants reported belonged to Protes tant bodies, the church membership was only 30 per cent 6t;the popula- tlon Of the Roman Catholic church's total membership there were 1 3,375, 453 or 27.9 per cent, in first cla3s cities; 1,351,132 or 113 per cent In the second; 1,570,944 or 13 per cent In the third and fourth classed com bined;, with 5,771,613 on 47.8 per cent outside the principal cities. ; ; It is seen, therefore, that the num ber of members of the Roman Catho lic church reported in " cities of the fiFiaf . class . was considerably more than double the number. reported by all the Protestant bodies, while out side of the principal cities the num ber reported by the Catholics was only a little over one-third of the number credited to the Protestants. It is pointed out In the report that the strength of. the Protestant, bodies aa compared with the Roman Catholic church, is greatly understated, Only two of the Protestant, bodies reported a majority of their member ship In the principal cities; t e., the Church of Christ, Scientist, 82.6 per cent," and the Protestant . Episcopal church, 61.2 per cent; while of the membership of the Jewish congrega tions, .88.7 per cent are ?ln the prin cipal cities, and : of the .Eastern Or thodox chrirches, 76.7 per cent. Of the total-number" of commur! cants or members reported for ttr principle cities by all denomination' 6,307.529 or 60 'per cent' belonged' t' the. Roman Catholic church',-' and -,-935.341. or 37.4. jo Protestant. bodlcr Corapared with" the report for 18!" shows that in general there has beer aa Increase In the proportion of com municants or members In the princi-1 pal cities as compared with those out side of these cities. In 1908 the per centage of the total number of com municants In these cities for all de nominations was 31.9 as . compared with 25.T In 1890. ' . Of the total number, 10,511478,; of communicants or members in the principal cities in 1906, there were 7,343,403 or 69.9 per ' cent reported by the 38 cities of over 100,000 popu lation, and, of these, 2,432,630, or 33.1 per cent, belonged to Protestant bod ies and 4,736,535 or 64.5 per cent to the Roman Catholic church. The lat ter denomination had in these cities about 75.1 per cent of its entire mem bership Ih cities of over 25,000 In habitants. r In thirteen of the cities more, than one-half of the communicants or members reported belonged to Prot estant bodies, while In 23 the majori ty belonged to the Roman Catholic church. .
