Supervisor Beach, of the census, fa
already encountering setbacks. Many
among those selected to act as enum-
erators now decline to give up posi
tions for the census. It was reported
yesterday that Oakley A. Darr, who
passed the enumerator examination,
was killed recently in a railroad wreck.
Replies from the field men indicate
that many of them have secured other
employment since the examinations
were held. Supervisor Beach will fill
the places by telegraphing recommen
dations for appointments, but in un
winding the red tape of the Civil Serv
ice Commission and securing- authority
to issue the commissions a number of
days will be consumed.
Mr. Beach is relying on being able
to enumerate all the traveling salesmen
employed out of Portland and other
cities through the houses which they
represent. Every merchant in the city
will be asked to prepare a list of his
representatives who are to be on the
road between April 15 and May 1. his
place of. residence and such other in
formation as Is required, and mall It to
Supervisor Beach. A number of the
commercial men have already sent in
data. Mr. Beach will mail blanks to
traveling salesmen who write for them.
In other instances wives of the men on
the road 'have interested themselves
by writing down the name, place of
birth, date, etc.. to be in readiness for
the man with the badge, who will call
later.
At this time of the year many Port
landers are residing abroad, or have not
yet returned from the South and East,
where they have been passing the Win
ter. These will be omitted from the
enumeration unless efforts are made by
their friends to furnish reliable data
Interior Oregon is the cause of much
worry to the Portland main office. The
census should begin in the outlying dis
tricts Friday, April 13. but the mailing
of commissions having been delayed,
and it being required that the ac
ceptances and oaths of office be ac
knowledged before a notary public, it
will probably be a number of days later
before the supplies can "be shipped.
. Weather conditions may interfere In
reachlngmany of the mining camps and
ranchmen In Isolated districts.
letters were mailed yesterday by Mr.
Beach to 1600 cattle-growers and 680
owners of sheep ranches, requesting
them to . get ready for the enumerator
for that district. The communications
tell , the property owners-the Informa
tion which the Census enumerators will
require,-and they are asked to be ready
for questioning.
In some counties the Commercial
Clubs or Chambers of Commerce will
be asked to assist the enumerators to
find all the Inhabitants and aid them
in getting statistics of the farming In
terests In the counties In which they
are located.

WIFE FEARS HUSBAND
HAS HIM All RESTED WHILE SHE
SUES FOR DIVORCE.
Mrs. William Irvine Says She Will
Not Remarry Likes Men but
Not Husband.
William Irvine, a "tramp" photogra
pher, was arrested late yesterday aft
ernoon by Constable Wagner on a
charge of threatening to kill his wife.
Evelyn Irvine, who has refused to live
with him for the past two years. The
couple were married three years ago,
but lived together less than a year.
Threats that he would "fix her good
and plenty" and that he would "get"
her, Mrs. Evelyn Irvine says, almost
drove her frantic, and yesterday she de
cided to insure herself against an at
tack by her husband. She made a com
plaint to Constable Wagner, and the
man was arrested. Irvine lives at 193
West Park street.
In answer to Insistent letters from
her husband, Mrs. Irvine came here last
Sunday from Porter. Wash., where she
has been living with her mother, to fa
cilitate an action for divorce which has
been hanging fire. Mrs. Irvine said yes
terday that it was agreed between them
that he should commence suit for a di
vorce, but this he has failed to do, as
yet. He wrote to her a short time ago,
telling her that she would have to come
to Portland If she wanted the divorce.
Since her arrival here, she says, he has
constantly threatened her life.
"I don't know anybody In town," she
said yesterday in the Constable's office
when she made complaint: "and I didn't
know where to go for protection. I had
a room at Seventh and Alder streets,
but my husband was there the most of
the time threatening me. I was scared
to death, and finally decided that the
best thing for-me to do would be to
have him arrested. I want to get a di
vorce from him, and then you may be
sure that I'll never- get married again.
I like men, but I don't like husbands."
Irvine will have a hearing in the Jus
tice Court this morning and will prob
ably be put under heavy bonds to keep
the peafe.

GOOD LOOKS AND QUALITY COUNT
Strange as it may seem, the average
dentist does not know strictly high
class dentistry. Nor does the average
person know the pleasure and comfort
of classy work until he has tried it.
He judges all dental work bv what he
is used to and may permit himself to
be satisfied with a standard far below
what he might enjoy. If our work was
not the best that is possible, do you
suppose our offices would be crowded
with patients willing to pay what good
classy work is worth. W do work for
many people whose brothers or other
relatives are dentists, and good ones,
they say. Such cases would hardly
come to us if it were possible for
brother, who is a gfod dentist, to do
his work anything like the way we do
it. He must pay us. Brother would
do it gratis. We do the highest-class
dental business in the world. It's a
broad statement, "but true."
Alveolar teeth cannot be told from
natural teeth, except, perhaps, they are
so much more beautiful than nature's
best product that you may be suspected
of having visited the Teeth Art Shop
311 to 314 Abington building).
If any one is wearing a partial plate
or bridge, and has two or more teeth
left in either Jaw, we will supply a full
set, without using plates or bridge
work, that will be as firm in the jaws
as nature's teeth and as permanent,
and more beautiful.
The work is practically painless and
carries our guarantee of satisfaction.
Curing Pyorrhea (loose teeth), a dis
ease given up by other dentists as in
curable, is another of our specialties.
We cure it absolutely. It's a boastful
statement to make, -but we can do any
thing that is possible in dentistry, and
what we do is always of the very high
est class. Our booklets Alveolar Den
tistry, are free. Write for one if you
cannot call. We have samples of our
work to show at all times.
