Or let one person be named in each lodging-house, or apartment house, to do . the same thing. The necessary blanks may be had at the census office, or at the Commercial Club. If you will make it your busi ness to inquire" of your neigh bor, or any of your casual ac quaintances, it will astonish you to leani how many people there are who will say that they have seen no census enumerator. It is no idle statement that A GREAT MANY THOUSAND people in Portland have been MISSED. Many people who sleep in office buildings have not been reached and no at tempt will be made to reach them. If you know of any such . and you do see that their names are turned in. It is a condition, not a the ory, that confronts Portland. If the people here do not take the counting in their own hands they are going to find the Port land figures FAR BELOW where they reasonably ought to be.

Ely, the amateur aviator, who recently purchased the Curtiss aeroplane owned by E. Henry Wemme, was kept from making what probably would have been the first successful flight ever made by a non-professional bird-man In the Northwest, by an accident to his steering apparatus. After getting fully 30 feet in the air. and when ready to make a turn around a clump of trees, Ely discovered that his horizontal rudder did not respond to his touch on the steering-wheel. He Immediately lowered the altitude rud der and came to the4ground, alighting easily. Yesterday was the day set for the first extended trial flight at the Twelve-Mile House racetrack grounds. Owing to the high wind, he did not attempt to go up until after 6 o'clock. Today, however, a trial flight will be made, providing the weather Is favorable. WILLAMETTE BACKING UP Columbia and Snake Rivers Rise, but Xo Danger of Flood Seen. The Columbia and Snake Rivers con tinue to rise slowly, and the Willam ette at Portland is backing up.

At Lew lston, the Snake River has reached a stage of 15.3 feet, and at Umatilla the Columbia stands 16.4 feet. There Is no danger of an excessive high water at this time, and the fact that large quantities are now running off ma terially lessens the prospect for a flood In June. Prospects are for fair weather In Portland and vicinity today. Thunder storms and showers are predicted, for Southern Idaho. The barometer has risen along the coast and fallen In the interior. THE DALLES, Or., April 27. (Spe cial.) Today the Columbia River stood at 25.9 feet above zero, which is extremely high for this time of the year. Yesterday the river stood 14.7 feet higher than it did on the same date last year. $80,000 LOAN COMPLETED Six-Story Building to Be Construct ed at Seventli and Alder. Abe Ticluier and A. H.

CHILDREN'S WORK SHOWN Mail Study of Sunday-School Teach ing Is Perfected McMinnville Pioneer Pastor Tells of His Early Struggles. The third session of the twenty-fifth an nual convention of the Oregon State Sun day School Association, which met in the White Temple yesterday afternoon, was the largest attended of any of the ses sions. The most noteworthy feature of the gatnering was the address by Rev. Joseph Hoberg, of McMinnville. Although' past &2 years old, he took the convention by storm. In his story of the early days In Oregon he told of the first convention wihlch was held In the state. Two Inter esting slips of paper were shown to the audience, one being the copy of the pro gramme of the convention held at Mc Minnville in 1872, the other being the min utes of the second gathering- at Oregon City the following year. The State His torical Society has endeavored to secure It from Rev. Mr. Hoberg and It prob ably will be turned over to the society at a later date. First Convention Opposed. "The early worker in this state met with many difficulties and when I sug gested that we call a convention of Sun day schpol workers, I not only met oppo sition from the laymen, but from the clergy also," he said, "and It was with the greatest difficulty that I induced peo ple to join hands with me in the work. It is with a great deal of pride that I address you today, when I know that this meeting is the direct result of so modest a beginning. My race Is nearly run and although I never may speak in another gathering such as thia Is, I shall always look back upon the early work In the state and rejoice that I was privi leged to take part In it." Three conferences were held in differ ent parts of the building in the afternoon. There was a pastors' conference in the main room. Rev. John H. Cudllpp pre siding. The elementary conference was held in the banquet room, with Mrs. R. R. Seale presiding, and the home department met in the lecture room, under Mrs. H. H. Paget, of Macleay. An open conference was held in the main room, the music being led by Stanley Baker, of the Y. M. C. A. Elementary Work Shown. Mrs. J. W. Wilkins, who had charge of the elementary work, has an Interesting display of work done by the little folk, which includes maps, bookbinding, paper cutting and other things which might in terest a, child. The object of the system is to cultivate a taste In very small chil dren for books, pictures and1 the Bible Mrs. H. N. Smith presents an entirely new field in church .work in training per sons ln the art of teaching. A system has been devised whereby persons can take up the study by mail. At the end of the course they must take an exami nation and those standing 70 per cent or better receive diplomas. "Visitor From Mars" Is Subject. The evening session of the Sunday school convention at the Baptist Church opened with a short song ser vice, led by Stanley Baker. Miss Memo Brockway, of Los Angeles, Cal., spoke on "A Visitor from Mars." By a stretch of imagination she pictured a resident rfom the planet Mars, making visit to earth and by a series of questions sought to learn of the educational sys tem used here. She said in part: "From what I can learn and observe the present method used, where chil dren are crammed with things which only mature minds can comprehend and I know of nothing with which to com pare them except an overfed goose. If a child is to be trained in this man ner, I am sure the system is wrong and there is room for a change whereby re sults can be obtained under a less strin gent method." Rev. William Parsons, of the Third Presbyterian Church, spoke on "What Next in the Evolution of the Sunday School." He said: "When you find a teacher who is un trained, you must expect to have shoddy work. The Sunday school has become the great moral and religious training place of our land and as such, I know of no reason why there should not be a day school in every church during the summer when the public schools are closed, so that the boys and girls - tween the ages of 9 and 12 could be taught how to live in other words the e-reatest lessons in me ana upon wnica they hear nothing in their daily school tife. At that time in me year, mose skilled as teachers are idle and would gladly avail themselves of the oppor-f tunity to take up this particular kind of work."
