More enumerators - than heretofore will probably be employed, the district of each will be carefully des ignated and the work will be rushed through in a systematic way. - The greatest growth in school popula tion in District No. 1 was shown in. 1907. when the increase was 4000. The 1908 census shows an increase of about 3200. In preceding years, back to 1901, the in crease was from a few hundred up to 1500.

THINKS BOUNTY TOO LOW JUDGE WILL DECIDE St. John Liquor Case Up for Settlement. . DECISION IS DUE . TODAY limit, regardless of the vote against the saloons in June. On the strength of this advice, Samuef Cochran continued to conduct his saloon after the order of the County Court proclaiming prohibition went into effect. Ho was immediately arrested on complaint of the anti-saloon forces, and. being tried before Justice of the Peace Olson, was found guilty of violating the local option law. Cochran appealed his case to the Circuit Court, and it was argued before Judge Morrow on an agreed- stipulation of facta. In arguing the case for the defense, counsel for Cochran contended that the provisions of the St. John charter on the subject of liquor were identical to those of the Medford charter." which, the courts had held, gave that municipality the ex clusive right to regulate the Bale of liquor within its borders. There is involved in the decision purely a legal construction of the terms of the St. John charter as they relate to state statutes and the local Heed Bros., tailors, have moved to 349 Alder street. Medical building'. FRANK L. SMITH MEAT CO. "FIGHTING THE BEEF TRUST5 That . the census taken last . November in School District No. 1. which includes the City of Portland. Is at least 1200 short of the actual number of children of school age In the. district i the opin ion of Robert H. Thomas, clerk of the Board of Education. The census figures show that in No vember. 190S. there were "4.264 persons f school age In thV district. Of these. approximately 2400 do not reside within th. Portland city limits, as. the district Includes territory outside the city. Esti mates made since the census was taken which are based on names in the city di- -rectory and other data, indicate that the proportion of school onildren. when com pared with the actual population, is below the normal. Such disproportion is not conceded by school authorities, who- place the discrepancy In the figures upon the laxity in taking the school census last year. It Is declared that when the distri- was divided among the census takers the territory of each was not clearly mapped, Some of it had to be gone over again In some localities many children were, found to have been overlooked by the original census enumerators. A failure to secure an accurate school census means much to the school district in the matter of school funds. Under the present system of school taxation each pupil Is worth to the district in school funds about $9. If the last census fell short 1100 children the loss to the district was $10,800 in determining the amount that should be provided for this district in county school funds. A more thorough system of taking th next school census will be planned, and It Is promised that the enumeration in 1909 will Incluifa every persons of school age In the district who can be located by Settlement of Suit Eagerly Awaited by People or Suburban City, Who Will Hold Annual . Election Today. Wildcats Worst Enemy of Deer, De clares Trapper. Dee Wright, rancher and traDDer on the Upper McKenzie River, is of the opinion that the recent State Legisla ture made a mistake when it fixed the bounty on wildcats at only tl a scalp. He regards these animals far more de structive of deer than are cougars, for wnicn a bounty of 10 is provided in the scalp bounty law passed at the reg- uiar session or the Legislature. "If it was the desire of the Legisla ture to give the game of the state some protection," said Mr. Wright at the Bel vedere yesterday, "it should have waged a fight particularly against the wildcats. There are 29 of these ani mals to one cougar, and they are far more deadly an enemy to deer than is the cougar. One wildcat ordinarily will Kill three deer in a season. Having killed a deer, the wildcat doesnot eat the carcass. As a rule" it robs its prey of the liver, and, having satisfied Its appetite, leaves the remains for the other wild animals of the mountains. The bounty of: $2.50, paid for these animals under the old scalp bounty law. should not have been reduced. Only those living- in the mountains and acquainted with the habits of wild animals can. realize how destructive wildcats are to deer."

G. Morrow will announce his decision in the St. John Hauor case Tjt nf.h Judge Morrow declined to intimate what- nis decision would be. although he did say that it was not until late vesterday afternoon that he completed an 'investi gation of the state statutes, the charter of St. John and numerous court "decisions nvolv-ing identical-Questions a. to Ing and regulating the sale of liquors in incorporated cities. The decision is ex pectantly awaited bv the neonln of st John, who will today hold their annual municipal election. The findings of the court, however, in the pending case will no(, affect the eleetion in any way, since ior me nrsi iime in trie history of this growing suouro. the wets and the drys. following a conference, nominated a complete city ticket which is acceptable to both interests and it will be elected. The case to be decided is that of the State of Oregon against Samuel Cochran, a saloonman of St- John, and it has been In the courts practically ever since the general election last June. In that elec tion. Precincts 90 and 91. of which St. John is composed, were linked with Uni versity Park (Precinct 89) and an election called by the anti-saloon people under the local option law. The two St. John precincts were wet. '. while University Park, an adjoining precinct, already was dry. In the June election the three pre cincts returned a majority in favor of prohibition. July 1 the County Court is sued an order forbidding the sale of liquor in either of the three precincts.
