Indorses Pro grainc as Admirable. TIMII.TV SENDS MESSAGE. "The President directs me to say that he sees no reason why the meeting of the National Ed ucation Convention should be postponed and that he thinks the kind of programme you outline admirably conceived. "J. P. TUMULTY, "Secretary to the President." ""Two telegrams received at headquar ters yesterday definitely disposed of all rumors as to the abandonment of the National Education convention for Portland July 7 to 14. The first message was from J. P. Tumulty, secretary to President Wil son, and advised the carrying? out of the plans for the convention. The second was from Gerrit Fort, traffic manager for the Union Pacific system, and stated that the special rail road rates heretofore fixed for the convention would not be withdrawn, but would be supplemented by special rates on railroads east of Chicago. The message from the White House was brought out by a request for an Indorsement from President Wilson to allay a spirit of uneasiness prevalent throughout the country and to coun teract the efforts of those citizens who are advocating the abandonment of con ventions and urging travelers to stay at home during the season. It was represented to the President that the programme for the conven tion centers around patriotism and the idea of preparedness. It is believed that the announce ment, which will be sent immediately to all educational papers of the coun try, will go far toward stimulating attendance, and creating interest in the convention. "The message from Mr. Tumulty, representing the President, should have a fine effect on the entire country Just now," said L. R. Alderman, chairman. "It indicates that the President does nt regard the situation as serious enough to warrant abandoning our usual methods of procedure. "It Indicates that unless' some unex pected event should alter conditions the railroads will be able to transport passengers in comfort, and that there need be no apprehension about un dertaking a trip to the Pacific Coast and the Northwest even in war times. "The two messages settle all rumors as to abandoning the convention." PORTERS GET RISE IN PAY Great Northern Express Company Advances Drivers Pay Also.

CENSUS GOGS FIT IN Machinery for Registration Is Ready to Be Put in Motion. 5 COUNTIES NOT IN REPORT Sheriffs of 31 Others Declare That Instructions From Governor Have Been Carried Out. Full Co-opcratlon Given. Although the different states will have eight days after the President's proclamation announcing the date of the war census In which to make ready for the census, Oregon could al most report Itself ready for the work by the end of this week If necessary. Only five of the 86 counties of the state had failed to report progress in carrying out the Instructions of Gov ernor Wlthycombe, through Adjutant General White, last night. These coun ties were Coos, Curry, Harney, Klam ath and Wheeler. However, as all these counties are In remote parts of the state, where communication Is difficult. General White Is making allowances for this fact. He expects to hear from them all by today. Fullest Co-opf rai lom Gives. Sheriffs and other county officials concerned have taken up Governor Withycombe'a plans, as announced, to them by General White, with alacrity and are acting In the fullest co-operation. Most of the Sheriffs have been able to announce that they already have appointed war census marshals who are to have charge of the registration of men of military age In each pre cinct. Two Sheriffs Sheriff S. E. Roberts, of Deschutes County, and Sheriff George McDuffee. of Morrow County have gone even further and have sent In to General White the names of the war census marshals. Sheriff Roberts also has sent In a copy of a map he has prepared and sent to each of his war census marshals, with his terri tory set out on it in red ink. This evidence of the Sheriff's keen Interest in the success of the war cen sus and of his resourcefulness pleased General White greatly. Pr-ogreM Reports Sent la. Anions: other Sheriffs heard from yesterday were W. B." Snider, of Lake County, who telegraphed that all de tails were being carried out as direct ed: George W. Lewis, of Josephine. through E. L. Coburn. County Clerk, who said the campaign was well In hand: C. N. Laughrldge. of Gilliam: W. I. Needham. of Marion, and E. C. Stan- wood, of Columbia County, all of whom reported good progress. Sheriff Stanwood said he had been In touch with remote parts of his county, including the logging , camps, and that all would be ready when the census day arrives. There are many Indications that the war census organisation will be per manent in nature, at least for the duration of the war.
