COUNT LIKELY TO STAND Crtnttnoed rnn First Paca In many cases not more than a thou sand names had been added, he said. Corrections probably would be made In such cases without calling attention to the fact. In other cases the frauds ha. I been of such magnitude that spe cial explanations probably will be pub lished. While no Intimation Is given aa to conditions In Seattle. It Is known that the frauds there were by no means so extensive aa those committed In Ta coma. Minneapolis Not Much Inflated. Reports received today from the representatives of the Census Bureau In Minneapolis Indicate that a com paratively small Inflation .will be show a In that city. In all cases where there wss false enumeration. It la said to have been due to acts of Individual enumerators, and tor the purpose of swelling their own returns. The fig ures for Minneapolis probably will be given out before the end of the week. When asked If there could have been any reason for Including San Fran cisco and Laos Angeles In the list of cities where padding had been prac ticed. Director Durand said that he preferred not to discuss the reports of those cities. Without saying that they were at all Involved, he said that the Census Pureau was continuing Its Investigation.

There Is absolutely nothing to the charges concerning a great padding of the enumeration of Tacoma." said Mr. Orwln. "If the census people have de creased the population of that town from I1.21 to sJ.STI. they have done Tacoma a great Injustice. "Concerninit the campaign waged by the civic bodies. I wish to say that they probably turned In 11.000 names of person who asserted that they had not been counted by the enumerators. 1 then Investigated every name and probably 2004 of them were added to the rolls. The balance of the forms were thrown out "The reports that I fled from Taco Census Agfnt Irnle He Said Popu lation Woold Exceed 100.000. SPOKANE. Wash- Oct- 17. Special Census Agent McKenxle today de clared that he made neither direct statements nor intimations to Tacoma commercial bodies that Tacomae popu lation would exceed 100.000. and "cout ed the report from the Coast that Ta coma is being made a "victim" by the Census Bureau. "Ktnployes of the Census Bureau were given strict Instructions not to deal In figures, and neither I nor any other field employe violated this order." he said. "The Snokane census was well taken. It shows' a remarkable accuracy. The wholesale discrepancies apeparlng In the reports from Coaat cities are en tirely absent In the Spokane census. "Oversealousness on the part of mis guided Tacoma cltlxens Is directly the for the wide discrepancies dls. closed in the recheck."

Incensed that charges of padding the census return of Boise should be made by Director or the Census Durand. the directors of the Commercial Club are determined to force the director to prove his allegations, and.

The returns were then duly forwarded and an unofficial report placed the census of the city close to I&.OOO. The last census gave Boise u00.

Henry j Subscription Books $1 Week In reviewing the many years of retailing we fail to recall any event in our entire mercantile career that approaches this book sale in magnitude or importance. It involves a certain amount of courage to contract for the number of sets we guar anteed to dispose of in this sale. Judging by Monday's enthusiastic buying, by the favorable comments of book experts, by the approval of men who own the best private libraries in Portland we feel confident that this sale will be the largest of its kind ever held on the Pacific Coast. These library sets are sold at half former prices and in many instances represents less than the cost of production. Books of the Jenson Society These books until now were sold by subscription only. This is the first time they have ever been offered at retail, and in order that every one can enjoy ihe privilege of this sale we sell these books on our Book Lovers' Club Plan. $1.00 Down, $1.00 Week Library edition of Browning:, Smollett, Fielding;, Balzac, Hugo, Irving, Gibbon, Thackeray, Dickens, Ruskin, Dumas, De Musset, Poe, Shakespeare, Kipling, Scott, Goethe, Lamb, Byr.n, Shelley at HALF publishers price.
