BEACH APPOIWTS
CENSUS TAKERS
District Supervisor Hopes to
Have Portland Covered
in Fifteen Days.
PEOPLE ASKED TO ASSIST
That. Definite Statistics May Be Ob
tained Aid of Citizens and Busi
ness Interests Solicited Suc
cessful Applicants Named.
With appointment of the enumerators
who are to handle the field work
of the census of the Second Oregon
IHstrict in the 30 days following
April 15, the office of Supervisor
Beach yesterday began the active cam
paign. The work must be completed In
Portland within 15 day, and upon its
nhoroughnese will depend a large amount
of advertising for the state as a whole.
Business interests realize that the district
has made a tremendous stride forward
in the past 10 years and that a failure
to secure the exact data of that progress
would be unwise. It is hoped they will
arrange to co-operate with the census
office in the Lumber Exchange.
At the Commercial Club luncheons the
accuracy of the recent count and esti
mate by the Polk City Directory manage
ment, placing the population of the city
at Z?0.000. is questioned. It is charged
that the directory figures are nothing
more than an estimate, and it Is believed
that a careful enumeration, listing every
person in the city, will largely Increase
the total. .... ...
Appointments are being mailed to the
various enumerators as fast as they can
be made out by Mr. Beach and his two
clerks. Supplies will be sent when ac
ceptances of the positions are received.

BIG REVOLT PREDICTED
SOCIAI CONDITIONS POINT TO
WAR, SAYS PARSON.
Rev. Asa Sleeth Declares U. S. Inter
nal War W ill Kival France's
Ruin and Disaster.
At the annual meeting of the Methodist
Ministerial Association yesterday fore
noon in Centenary Methodist Church,
Rev. Asa Sleeth in an address on the eco
nomic and social situation in the United
States predicted that continuation of
present conditions will causa a revolution
in this country that will rival the French
revolution in disaster and ruin.
The speaker declared that 25 per cent
of the population owns 75 per cent of the
property, that 99 per cent elects the Pres
ident and 1 per cent dictates the policy
and edits his messages. Ninety-nine
per cent, he aid, elects Congress, 1 per
cent dictates what laws It shall enact;
99 per cent elects the courts and 1 per -cent
dictates their decisions.
Mr. Sleeth pointed to the organization
of the sugar trust and the steel trust
with their vast millions of watered stock,
saying the wage earner must earn 10
per cent dividends at $1.78 a day for
them. He declared thousands of girls
are working in factories ton, $3.60 a week,
not enough to meet half their expenses.
"All this exists," said Mr. Sleeth,
"when the country is prosperous and'
when the factories and industries are
running on full time, but it is a con
dition that cannot continue without a
revolution more terrible than the French
ever experienced. What Is the church do
ing and, what can she do? Why. n this
country one man could sell the bonds
and stocks he controls and still the
world would owe him $4,000,000,000."
The address caused prolonged discus
sion and for the most part was com
mended. Rev. J. H. Cudlipp. Rev. W. B.
Hollingshea.d, Rev. W. T. Kerr, Rev. B.
H. Mowre, Rev. Harold Oberg, Rev.
Lewis F. Smith and others also spoke.
That only the gospel could save the
country from Impending ruin was the
sentiment of the assembly. .
Rev. Clarenee True Wilson was elected
president: Rev. W. T. Kerr, vice-president,
and Rev. Frank James, secretary
and treasurer. Rev. William Jeffrey, Jr.,
in retiring from the presidency thanked
the association for its forbearance 'dur
ing the past year and distributed his
Easter greetings, neatly printed, to the
members.
Attention was called to the law requir
ing incorporated Methodist Churches to
report to the Federal authorities at once,
or be subject to a heavy fine. As the
requirement was not generally understood
it was urged that all church trustees act
promptly and escape the fine for neg
lect. At the conclusion of the' business ses
sion of the association a banquet was
served in the lecture room by the Ladles'
Aid Society of Centenary Church. Rev.
"Father" John Flinn and wife and Rev.
"Father" J. H. Royal were honor guests
at the banquet ',
mm ADDRESSES
TEI
City's Requirements for West
End of Broadway Bridge
Are Set Forth.
MR. O'BRIEN IS FRIENDLY
t
O. R. & N. General . Manager Will
Reply in Few Days to Demands
Made for East Approach Says
Property Spoiled for Docks.
GeneraJ Manager O'Brien, of the O.
R. & N. Company, yesterday afternoon
renewed his declaration of friendship
for the Broadway bridge and told
Mayor Simon and members of the Coun
cil committee during the- conference
held in his office that in a few days
he will reply In writing to the de
mands of the city for ground for ap
proaches on the east end of the pro
posed span.
As to the west approach, Mr. O'Brien
said the Mayor and members of the
committee. Messrs. Rushlight. Menefee
and Wallace, must adjust that with
the Northern Pacific Terminal Company.
He will lend his assistance, said Mr.
O'Brien, in securing concessions there
also, but he is not able to settle the
matter himself, for he is only a di
rector in the company, and others must
be consulted.
Immediately upon his return to the
City Hall, Mayor Simon addressed a
letter to E. Lyons, manager of the Ter
minal Company, as follows:
City's Demands Formulated.
-t b-ir to advise vou that in connection
with the construction of what is known as
the Broadway Bridge, the City of Portland
requires the following concessions from the
Xorthern pacmc Terminal wmpnoi u j.-

rnmnnnv.
5. Immunity for action for any alleged
damage to -blocks T. Z. 193. 192. 194 and I.
due to the construction and maintenance of
said bridge.
Interference to Be Slight.
This request to carry with it the right to
enter upon said land for the construction
of the proposed Broadway bridge, for the
placing and handling of such materials as
will be necessary for the substructure and
superstructure of said bridge. On the part
of the city we will state that such handling
and placing of materials, building of the
substructure and erection of the superstruc
ture will be done In a manner to interfere
to the smallest possible extent with the rail
way company and its use and enjoyment of
such property.
Note as to clearance: Vertical clearance
over the tracks of the Northern Pacific Ter
minal Company varies from approximately
27 feet at the first or west Hack to 38 feet
at the 23d or east track, and over the O. R.
& N. Co. on the east side of the river ap
proximately 48 feet. Over the Albers Bros,
dock, approximately 44 feet at the west end
to S2 feet at the west harbor line.
It Is Important that these concessions so
required by the City of Portland should be
given the city at the earliest moment. May
I ask you to present this matter to the at
tention of the board , of directors of your
company as speedily as possible, and indi
cate to us what you will require of the City
of Portland In return for the requirements
herein set forth, so that there will be no
unnecessary delay for the City of Portland
In the construction of its proposed bridge?
Kiernan Case Not Set.
With the case of Kiernan against the
city not even set for hearing in the
Circuit Court and the proposed sale of
the first $260,000 of the Broadway
bridge bonds but two weeks off. Mayor
Simon has asked that some action be
taken to facilitate this case. It Is a
suit to test the validity of the bonds,
brought, it is said, to embarrass the
sale of the issue. City Attorney Kav
anaugh declared to the Mayor that he
will act on his own responsibility with
in 24 hours unless the special legal
counsel employed for the purpose com
mences to act.
The reply of General Manage- O'Brien
to the request for ground for the east
approach of the Broadway bridge is
awaited with deep interest, for upon
his attitude much depends. He' on
tends that to give 70 feet of property
owned by his company on the East
Side means a loss to the company of
about $150,000. The company contem
plated using It for docks, but it is
said it will be ruined if the bridge
goes through it.

From the New York American, March 16, 1910. - . v, . '
"Piano Puzzle Contests"
Prize" Due Bills," "Coupons,"
"Checks" and "Bonds"
The legitimate, honorable and honest piano dealers of New York
have suffered pretty severely from dishonest competition at various
times, and sometimes at the hands of those from whom different
things had been expected. .
But it is only recently that there has been .introdnced a form of
jugglery which has made victims of thousands in the West and else
where. This called forth most violent denunciation at the piano-dealers'
convention in Detroit last June, and has been exposed and anath
ematized by respectable newspapers and dealers everywhere.
We refer to the ' ' Puzzle Contest, " " Limerick Verse Contest, ' ' V Re
bus,',' "Drawing Contest," or any other form of "Contest" that in
volves for misleading "coupons," "bonds," "checks" or "due bills'y
given as prizes for correct solution of the puzzles. -
These puzzles are so simple than any one'ean solve them.
The "Contest," like the so-ealled "Piano Club," depends for suc
cess upon deception.
The deception, as the musical journals term it, consists in taking
a piano that may be worth $250 and pretending that it is worth $400,
or a $175 piano pretending it is worth $300. If you solve the puzzle
correctly (and, of course, ANY ONE can solve it correctly), you get a
"due bill" worth $50 or $75 or $100 or $150 toward the purchase of a
"$400" piano which is only worth $250.
"Sometimes one piano is given away free to the one whose solution
is "received first," or who sends the "neatest" solution, or some
thing of that sort, and the name of the person is advertised and ex
ploited to show that the promoters do as they agree, and to attract
new dupes for the next "contest."
In "some cases an article of jewelry, pen, pencil or something of
that nature is offered as a consolation prize for all who fail to receive
one of the "more valuable" prize "checks" or "bonds." So the con
testant believes he will get one of these anyway, as a reward for his
trouble. But he doesn't know' the game. The jewelry is seldom or never
given away, because jewelry, even if cheap, costs SOMETHING, while
"checks" and "bonds", for $50 or $150 cost absolutely NOTHING
and" are WORTH nothing, hence are sent to everybody who sends a
solution of the puzzle.
Of course, the piano that is given away is paid for many times over
by the other "successful contestants" or victims who bring their due
bills for $50 or $75 and then pay the balance of $325 or $350 in cash
for a piano that could be bought here, or most anywhere, of any hon
orable house, for $225 to $250. So,, instead -ef getting a reduction,
they really pay much more, even after deducting the "check,"
than the same piano (or one of the same quality) costs elsewhere.
It is- not only a misrepresentation, but such an obviously apparent
One that we wonder so many are misled thereby'.
We shall take occasion to publish from time to time extracts from
the various journals of this country in condemnation of the practice,
t' In the meantime, if any one is especially interested and will call,
we shall be pleased to show them such articles confirmatory of this
statement and shall prove our contention, which is made in the inter
est of all piano dealers whose business is confined to legitimate meth
ods and legitimate pianos.

announces the absolute genuineness of
these pictures. The ex-President M-ill re
turn to America some time in June, and
it is certainly an evidence of enterprise
to be able to present these pictures to
the public before his return to his native
land, at which time doubtless there will
he other pictures taken of the reception
which will be accorded to him by his ad
miring fellow-countrymen.

their laps until the grand total of 1 ,7lM,
000,000 was rolled up! All the gold and
silver In the whole United States today Isn't
equal to this corn crop of last year.
