TROUBLE IH DEBATING TEAM.
Faculty Changes Leadership, and
Three Members Withdraw.
PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Forest Grove,
Or.. Doc.,. 2?. (Special.) As a result of a
decision made by the faculty committee on
debate and oratdry, three of the six men
who won .places on the intercollegiate
teams last Saturday night have with
drawn their names and will not represent
Pacific on the roatrura this year. The dis
agreement arose over the arrangement of
the debaters upon the teams which wHl
meet Whitman College and the University
of Oregon. The leadership of the team
which Is to meet Whitman was looked
upon as the position of honor, inasmuch
as this is Pacific's first contest wi,th Whit
man and that institution has a Tocord" of
eight consecutive victories. W. B. Ras
mussen won nrst place in the preliminary,
but the faculty committee decided that
W. B. Shively should lead the team
against Whitman. For this reason Ras
mussen has drawn off the team, and with
him go R. F. Peters and H. B. Thomas.
All three men are members of the Gamma
Sigma Literary Society. Those who re
main on the team Shrvely. PWIbrook ad
Prldeaux-belong to the Alpha Zeta Soci
ety, it is probable that these men will
take charge of both debates.

Districts Fail to Give Notice, r
SALEM, Cr., Dec. 2JJ. (Special.) It
is reported that many school districts
and some of the smaller incorporated
cities have overlooked the change made
in the tax levy law at the special vast
sion of IMS, and that these districts
and cities will have some troublu be
cause of shortage of funds' for the en
suing year. Prior to the special session
In December, 1803, the law provided
that school districts and cities shall
notify County Clerks of tho rate of levy
for district or municipal purposes by
February 1 of oaCli year. At the spe
cial session, the law was amended so as
to require tht the notice lie given by
January 1. The purpose of -the change
was to enable the County Clerk to ex
tend the assessment roll at an oarlier
date.

SftliEM, Or.. Dec 28. (Special.) In 'or
der that tile state census of life may be
msde as accurate, complete and useful as
possible. Secretary of State Dunbar has
secured from the United States Census
Bureau a large amount -of valuable iri
formatisn and suggestions with respect to
co-operation In work of this kind. Mr.
Dunbar recommends that the state law be
amended so as to correspond with tho
Federal statutes on the same subject, in
order that the information . gathered in
the state census may.iwhen compared with
the statistics of the Federal census, show
the progress and development ' of the
state. The suggestions received from the
Director of the United States Census Bu
reau will be laid before the -proper com
mittee of the Legislature for Its aselst
ancc in framing asultable law.
The Oregon law prescribos the form,
of enumeration roll, and practically places
ailmlt'upon the information to be so-
. . WILL LEAD-TiMbfc
The World's Fair that will be opened in Portland on June 1 next will
surpass all former Expositions held in the West, In the number of Its
buildings, in the extent of its individual exhibits, in attractiveness of Its
grounds and in Its architectural beauty. Portland's people will take pleas
ure in giving their Eastern friends the fullest information of the great
Fair, and also of the beautiful city in which it will be held. The New
Year's Oregonlan for 1003 will be a special Exposition number. - It will be
published on Monday mpraing. January 2. The paper will be mailed to
any address In tho United States or Canada, postage prepaid, for 10 cents

cured. The Federal law proscribes the
subjects concerning, which information
shall be secured, but leaves the form and
number of inquiries to the discretion of
the Director of the Census. No provision
is made in the Oregon law for the compil
ation of census returns nor the publlca-
tlon of a summary' thoreof. Under the,
present law the census of 1S05 will be al-'
most valueless, for It will show little of
a definite and specific character.
In his biennial report Secretary of State
Dunbar refers to chapter S, title 30, of the
code, treating of this -subject, and briefly
points out the provisions of the law as
follows:
Terms of the Lav.
"This statute Is In force, as enacted by
tho Legislature in 1S64. By Its provisions
it is ma.de the duty -of tho Assessors of
the soveral counties of the state, at the
time of assessing their respective counties

of the inhabitants and industrial products
of their respective counties, and prescribes
the form of enumeration roll which shall
be transmittedto the Clerks of the several
counties by the Secretary of State on or
before the first day of May of the year
in which the census is to be taken.
-"The form prescribed provides for one
column for legal voters; one column each
for males of 21 and upwards, under 21 and
over 10, and under 10; one column each
for females of IS and upward, under IS
and over 10. and under 10; .one column
each fer number of acres under cultiva
tion, bushels of wheat, barley and ryo.

"Section S10S of the code provides thut

Defects in the Law.
"If the terms of the statute referred to

valuable statistical' information will be
omitted which should he Included. It
will also be observed from a perusal of
said statute that no "provision is . made for
tho classification of the inhabitants or
the various counties as to nativity, citizen
ship, literacy or occupation, nor is the
enumeration so made that it will show
the population of each precinct and In
corporated city or town separately the
law requiring thdt the Assessors shall
make an enumeration 'of the Inhabitants
of their respective counties nor does. It
provide for returns as to the quantity and

The Federal census in Oregon cost $43.
TH, but as the state census is to be takon
by Assessors and their deputies at the
same time the assessment of property is
made in 1505, tho cost of the state census,
will not be so large. Tho x expense will,
of course, be borneby the several coun
ties, for it will be Included In the com
pensation of Assessors and deputies. K
will cost little more to make a census that1
will be of sqme value than to make such
a census as that provided by the law of
1SS4.
FOR A HEALTHIER IONE. '
Flood-Stricken Town Wants Malarial
Creek Straightened.
IONE, Or., Doc 23? (Special.) The re
port of the State Bdard of Health re
garding the- unsanitary condition of lone
immediately after tho Heppner flood has
stirred up considerable feeling because
the report leaves a stranger to believe
that the same conditions still prevail.
Such. Is not the case, however, for there
has not been .a death here from typhoid
fever for a whole year.
While It is true that the health of the
community has not beon all--that could
be desired, the remedy has been hard &
find. The main cause of the ' trouble Is
that the creek just above the city of lone
makes a turn and doubles upon Itself.
This obstructs the flow, of the water sq
much thut It rises up to the bcnchland
and comes tearing down both Main and
Second stroets, overflowing the wells and
cisterns. The owner of the land upon
which the creek makes the twist will not
allow the citizens to straighten theychah
nel, uor will ho do It himself. In the
present laws of the state there arc no pro
visions for such a contingency. There Is
a provision for the protection of farm
land, . so expressly stated, but a city
may not change or straighten a stream to
protect its citizens against floods.
The lone Development League hold a
large meeting a few nights ago, nd dis
cussed tho subject thoroughly.
It was decided that the only relief for
the intolerable condition was to seek new
legislation covering such cases, and a
committee, consisting of W. P. Myers,
W. E. Brown and S. I. Stratton, was ap
lointed to prepare a bill, granting the
people to enter upon private property
awl construct dykes, ditches or other im
provements necessary for the protection
of the health of the public. This com
mittee will ' solicit the aid of the State
Board of Health. '

"Wo find the population of Spokane

It has grown, we do not find your state

manded, in addition to -the suit to re
plevin the property from the Tenlno Coal
