iNSUS OF SPtfKANE
City Is Bitterly Disappointed
With Showing Made,
HAD EXPECTED TO REACH 45,009
School Statistics the Basis For Cal
culation Enumerators Slake
Some lUush. Assertions.
SFOKAJTB. Wash., Sept 28. Spokane Is
bitterly disappointed -with the showing
tnade by censusreports from Washing
ton. "Word had been passed around that
"the count would surely be qer 38,0001, and
there was hope.that the 45,000 mark would
be reached. One of the census enumerat
ors today said he had sent to Chief Entj
merator Mires, of. this state, lists aggre
gating over 38,000 names, but later In
the day, after telegrams had" passed be
6 tween him. and Mires, the enumerator
mentioned hastened to retract the state
ment. The claim that Spokane has more
population than the official census gives
her is based on these grounds:
The -city directory contains 17,108 names.
The directory company estimates 47,017
people In Spokane 10,199 more than are
.given by the 2vatlonal census.
In ISM the school census of Spokane
showed there were & children of school
age In the city, and the National census
.figures were 19,322; almost sir times as
great .
The school census this year reported
TWO children of school age. Multiplying
this number by six .would give a total
population of 43.840.
THE OFFICIAL AXkOUNCEaCEtfT-.
Spokane's Population Increased Al
most SS Per Cent, in Tea Tears.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. The popula
tion of Spokane, Wash., as officially an
nounced today. Is:
1890 .n...-....19,92J
1900 .. , .3e,84&
These figures show for the city as a
whole an increase in population of 16,926,
or 84.S6 per cent, from 1830 to 1900. The
population In 18S0 was 350, sLowing an in
crease of 10,672; or E592 per cent, from 1880
toosau.
ROBERTSOR'S CANDIDACY.
Spokane Man Already Unpopular nt
the National Capital.
WASHINGTON, fiepL 21 -Conslaera-ble
interest is manifested here in Wash
ington regarding the candidacy of F. C.
-Robertson, of Spokane, for Congress. Rob
ertson, should he be elected, would start
In with something of a handicap, be
cause he was distinctly unpopular in his
methods of conducting the case of the
miners before the military committee
when it was investigating the Coeur
d'Alene riots. Robertson was vicious
against every member of the committee
"who objected to his capricious and in
sulting method of asking questions. He
had several tilts Tvlth Chairman Hull, and
with Mr. Capron and Mr. Stevens, and
nearly every Republican member, whom
he seemed to regard as natural enemies
from the beginning. He was not a popu
lar man In that committee, and It Is
probable that he would make himself
unpopular In the House.
In this connection, it is Interesting to
note the effect of Robertson's candidacy
in one state as a defender of the miners,
while Duboise is a candidate for the
United States Senate in the other, and
Duboise is the man responsible for pre
venting any mention of the Coeur d'Alene
riots in the Democratic National platform.
He used his Influence with Jones and
with other Democratic leaders with whom
he consorts a great deal, and the Coeur
d'Alene plank which Lentz and Sulzer,
who were on the ground at Kansas City,
insisted should appear in the Democratic
platform, was dropped out ard lost as
completely as was the income tax plank.
Duboise and Robertson of course, being
in different states, do not have to recon
cile their differences, but it is evident
from the position that Duboise took that
the entire movement on the part of Sul
zer and Xrentz before the House in the
Coeur d'Alene matter was one of pure
buncombe.
Declined to File Nomination.
BOISE, Idaho, Sept 28. Secretary of
State Patne today declined to file the
Populist nomination of S. J. Rich, Demo
cratic nominee for Presidential Elector.
The Populist nomination was made by the
executive committee, and its filing was
refused because there was no certificate,
showing that the committee was autho
rized to fill vacancies. The matter will
probably get into the courts.

HEPPNER, Or.. Sept 28. A Republican

HOP SALES AT 14 CENTS
Central Opinion, However. That Bet
ter Prices Will Prevail Ijater.
SALEM, Sept 28. President M. L.. Jones,
of the Oregon HopgrowcTs Association,
reports that dealers are traversing the
country offering 14 cents for hops, and
sometimes as high as 14 cents. He
thinks growers can" get 15.c.ents for their
crop if they hold dntfO.,iha price. The
same opinion is quite gerera$J? expressed,
but nevertheless growers are,beglnnlng to
sell at 14 cents and even less.

cises. After the readfhg o-the minutes,
work on, the 13th question, "Wbo Are the
Effective Elders?" was' continued. In the
superintendent's report, the ( language
problem, "the real drawback to German
Methodism, came before the body. It was
stated that some, of thB churches were
greatly, weakened- by GermansNbecomlnsf
Americanized and joining EngUsh-speak-,lng
churches, and to, this cause (was at
tributed the fact that so few of the
churches have become self -supporting. It
was contended that emigration from the
Fatherland had greatly fallen off fhe pas
10 years, and that it would require a
very" efficient and' devoted, ministry ' to
maintain the,cause,onthi3 Coast
The character of the following effective
elders was "passed: Charles A. Prelslng,
pastor Second Church, Bortlanfl; J. W.
Reckley, Spokane; J..C Jahn, Salem; Carl

Salem Projects Must Walt
Tho Federal authorities seem to
have postponed for the time being
further proceedings in the erection
of a public building at Salem, or the
establishment of a free rural mall de
livery, route. The last Information re-'
coived concerning the rural delivery mat
ter Is to the effect that the special agent,
H. J. Ormaby, who Is to inspect tho
proposed routes. Is busily engaged in ex
amining routes In Kansas, and will not
be, able to get to 'Oregon in the imme
diate future. He is not expected here for
over a month.
So far ag the new Postofllce building
Is concerned, the latest Information is
from a-private source, and is to the ef--feet
that the Federal authorities have air
the plans and specifications ready to ad
vertise fqr bids, but 'will take nd fur their
action until the Legislature shall releaser
to the Government the required jurisdic
tion over the site to be occupied.
It is probabje, therefore, that the rural
delivery routes will be established by the
time the roads get bad, and that the con
tract for building the Postoffice will be
let In time for active 'operations to be
commenced early in the Spring.
Petition for Defaulter's Pardon.
A petition was presented to Governor
Geer today asking for the pardon of P.
G. Morris, the defaulting Treasurer of
Linn County. Morris was found guilty
of larceny of public funds and sentenced
to four years imprisonment in the' Peni
tentiary and to pay a fine of $2131 08.

fine should be paid, such Imprisonment,
however, not to exceed 1505 days, or one
day for each $2 of the fine.
The representation made In behalf of
Morris Is as follows: "We most respect
fully represent that the amount found
by the jury to have been converted in this,
case amounted to $1565 54, but we believe
and are of the opinion that there ar
grave doubts as to the gullJ; of the said
Morris, and that the money was taken
and converted by some other persons than
the said, Morris. We would further show"
that the said Morris .has at all times
borne a good reputation in the county for
honesty and integrity, and believe tha$
your action in granting this application
for a: pardon would merit the approbation
of the general public.''
This petition contains the names of
about 2500 residents of Linn Counly
among whom were five of the nine men
who were sureties on Morris' bond. There
is also appended to the petition a recom
mendation that the pardon be granted.
signed by 10 jurymen, who say: "We-1
make Jhis application for the reason that
from the evidence in this cause there is
some doubt as to the defendant having
converted the money, as found by the
jury. We would further show that the
defendant, Morris, has at all times borne
a good reputation in Linn County, and
while the evidence show? that the sum of
$1565 54 was actually converted, we are of
the opinion that the same may have been
taken and converted by some person
other than the said defendant" The
jurynien who make this representation
are-. J. D. Griffin, At. J. McClure. J. S.
Weddle, S. S. Leeper, George Alfocd,
Henry' Karstens, James Morgan, B. L.

trict The case was not' appealed to the
Supremo Court The petition was pre
sented to Governor Geer and supported in
an oral argument by Judge Hewitt The
father, an uncle and a brother of Morris
also appeared before the Governor lp sup
port of the petition. ,
A civil action was brought by Linn
County against Morris and "his bondemen.
to recover the amount converted. TfieJ
,case was tried before Judge Burnett by
agreement of the parties, without a jury,
'and a judgment against the defendants
for $3731 35 resulted. From this judgment
