POPE & CO.,
Willing to Start Home.
Manila, P. I,, May 6. Once more the
members of the Second Oregon hear
that welcome report that thpy are soon
to see again their native land. Not so
many of them as were beguiled by the
same prospect three months ago. Some
hearts that beat fastt r in anticipation
then are now still. Go or etay, soon or
late, those few have no changing pulse.
Scars are borne by others who now turn
their faces toward the rising sun ; scars
not known three months ago. There is
a deep feeling of soldier experience,
vivid memories of gory scenes, fearful
moments. These three fruitful months
have left marks deep as the wrinkles of
time, but which the young, light hearts
from Oregon cheerfully sought, and will
now forever remember with different
eentimenta of life from those then enter
tained. Of course the time of departure is
vague. Officers of experience predict
that it will be determined by the situa
tion in Luzon. Others hold that the
volunteers will be relieved soon, regard
less of the warlike or peaceable attitude
f the Filipinos. There is a general be
lief among the entire corps that the
date for the Oregon regiment to embark
is not distant. This is made doubly se
cure by the fa vo) able aspect of the war.
From the repeated attempt to gain peace
the Americans think the Filipinos ap
proaching the brink of submission.
General Otis has been "Btiff-necked,"
rather more so than was necessary in the
minds of many, but there is but little
alternative for the hunted blacks, if re
ports are correct. If the Tagals are
are quieted there is no doubt that the
volunteers will commence departing
almost immediately afterward. That
the Oregons will be the first to leave is
thought quite certain. The administra
tion policy outlined to General Otis re
quires (he regiments to return in the or
der of their comiug. Oregon and Cali
fornia were first, but now California is
so situated that the regiment could
hardly ba gathered quick enough to
take the first transport. This gives Ore
gon the right of way.
ASSAULT ON LOUBET.
French President Caned bg Count
Christiani.
Paris, June 6. President Lotibet, ac
companied by the premier, M. Dupvy,
and the chief of the military household,
General Balloud, drove to Auteuil this
afternoon, closely followed by Mme. Lou
bet in a second landau. As they drove
along the Avenue des Champs Elysees
the crowd bowed respectfully; but on
arriving at Auteuil, they were met by a
violent demonstration, evidently organ
ized and directed againBt the president.
There was a storm of hoots, yells and
cries of "Panama," "A basLoubet" and
"Vive l'armee." A few shouts of "Vive
Loubet" were drowned by the clamor.
A strong force of police kept order and
arrested many of the disturbers, includ
ing a man who tried to force his way to
the president's carriage.
During the second race the clamor in
creased to violence and was plainly di
rected by a committee of the League of
Patriots collected, with their supporters
both before and behind the presidential
stand, around which a formidable affray

proceeded. During the steeplechase
many blows were struck, and several
police were injured in their endeavor to
prevent an invasion of the presidential
stand.
At the crisis of the excitement, while
shouts of "Vive l'armee" and "Vive De
Roulede" were heard on all sides, Count
Christiani ruthed toward the president,
brandishing a stick, and directed a blow
against him, striking his hat. The
crowd rushed upon Christiani, who
only escaped severe handling by being
taken under police protection.
President Loubet remained all the
while quite unmoved, talking to the pre
mier, while the officers of his military
household were defending him against
violence.
Finally, after 30 arrests had been
made, -the prefect of police ordered the
republican guards to Burround the presi
dential stand. The principal leaders of
the demonstration were M.Jos Lanes,
anti-Semite and nationalist deputy for
Gets, and M. Fermin Faure, anti-Semite
and nationalist deputy for Oran, Al
geria. Police Inspector Grilliere had his
hand seriously wounded in the melee,
and President Loubet has decorated him
with the cross of the Legion of Honor in
recognition of his devotion to duty. On
returning to the Elysee palace, M. Lou
bet received many sympathizing callers.
It seems certain that the demonstra
tion was organized by the Jeunesse Ruy-
aliate, the Ligue des Patriotes and the
anti-Semites, the rallying signal being a
carnation in the button-hole.
Count Christiani is a member of the
Steeplechase Society, a very select body,
and his conduct caused the greatest in
dignation. MAY BE HALF A MILLION.
Population of Oregon By Census
Of 10VO.
Will Oregon have a population of 500,
000 when the United States cenpusshall
be taken a year from this month? Esti
mating for the present decade, a gain at
the same rate as was made in the de
cade 1850-60 would give Oregon's popula
tion in 1900 at about 1,250,000. Calcu
lating on the basis of the growth in the
1860-70 decade, next year's census would
show about 54!),003 people in the state.
If the increase in thi-t decade is at the
same rate that obaintd between 1870
and 180, Or. gon will have 597,0(0 in
habitants next June, and if at the rate
of gain that marked the decade 1880-90,
the census uf next June will show a pop
ulation of 574,00,). But the years since
1893 have not been so favorable to in
crease of population in Oregon as were
some of the years in each of the previ
ous decennial periods, and it is not ex
pected that so great a ratio will be
shown tiy next year's census figures.
The United States has taken the cen
sus of this state five times, ttie firs
time being when Oregon had been under
federal jurisdiction little more than a
year, and, of course, before it was ad
mitted to statehood. The result of each
of these enumerations, by counties, is
shown in the following table:

Umpqua county was abolished in 1962,

The Oregon school census for 18S0
gave the number of children between
the ages of 4 and 20 years at 59.015, that
nnmber being a trifle less than one-third
the total population of the state, accord
ing to the federal census taken the same
year, the school census sunnnsed to he
taken in March, and the United States
census in June. In 1890 the school cen
sus gave the number of children at 99.-
543, and the United States census of the
same year gave the state nearly 3 1-6
times as many for the total number of
inhabitants. The school enumeration
showed the increase of children for the
ten years between 1880 and 1890 to have
been about 10 2-3 per cent. The fiViirea
for previous decades are not available.
Hut the increase for the eight years.
1882-89, as shown by the school census,
was about 42 per cent, while for the
period of 1890-98 the increase of eh
of school age was a little less than 33
per cent. Counting the increase of
school children from 1890 to 1900 at 40
per cent would give about 140.000 in
1900, and using 31-6 as the ratio of
school children to entire population,
would give the total inhabitants at 433.
333. But as the population of a new
country becomes settled, the proportion
of children of school age to the enfire
population increases, as is shown for
Oregon in the only two decades for
which figures for comparison are availa
ble, laking 3 as the ratio, the 140.-
000 school children would indicate a
total population of 490,000.

Paint Talks
(No. B)
i
The claim is often made that it is cheaper to use lead
and oil than it is to use GOOD mixed paint, but this is only
true when oil is extremely low. At the pseent price (60
to 70 cents) it costs more to use lead and oil, and it will
not last as long. Stop and think how much more finely
ground must be the pigment of a liquid paint ground by
machinery than one mixed by hand with a stick. Of
course this liquid paint must be absolutely pure not nec
essarily all lead, however, as any painter will admit that a
certain quantity of zinc, properly mixed, will outwear the
straight lead pigment.
The best painters in town have used Masury's paint
during the past eight years, and I venture to say they will
all confirm my statements providing they have no ax to
grind in selling material of their own buying.
A pure liquid paint, free from benzine, whiting and
barytes, such as Masury makes, will outwear any paint
mixed by hand. Masury guarantees this.
