10 I HE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, x A.FItILi IT. 1910. PLOPLE HID WORK OF ENUMERATORS Second Day's Work Proceeds With Dispatch, Woman Again Making Record. ftBSETCTEES SEND REPORTS Special Agent to Oallier Mining and farm Statistics in State Ar rives in Portland Inter preters Xot Required. With the precision of well-oiled ma chinery, tne second day of the count of Portland people moved yesterday, with probably 40,000 residents account ed for. Official 'enumerators have learned to handle many of the vexa tious questions constantly arising and have found that they are not to be called upon the carpet for exercising ordinarily pood sense. The splendid result of the first two days is credited by Supervisor Beach to the general effort which apparently has been made to be ready for the census man when he calls at the home. From all over the city came reports that the enumerators were receiving every possible aid. Even among the Chinese and the Hindus, the Italian and Polish settlements and among the Japanese, the word had percolated that the men wearing the shield badges sur mounted by the eagle, don't Intend any harm, and answers were given cheerfully. Chinese Count Thorough. Mr. Beach was yesterday arrang ing for a new plan of enumerating the Chinese, which is hoped to reach every member of that colony who properly should he counted In Portland. The plan was brought to the city by Su perintendent Brock, located at San Francisco and in charge of t..e enu meration of the entire Pacific Coast. When he was at luncheon at the Commercial Club, the attention of Mr. Brock was called to the enumeration of the Kourth Ward In Seattle, as made 10 years ago, showing 18,000, where 5000 mi&ht possibly be crowded In. The coast superintendent admitted that he had been seeking a way to avoid padded returns, but would make no statement of the conditions whlcn occasioned his visit. A woman enumerator again carried off the honors for the largest num ber of names turned in yesterday. She won first place on Friday with 270 names. Both days she worked In the Polish settlement of South Portland, and had prepared for her success by visiting the district on several oc casions after her appointment was announced, for the purpose pf edu cating her subjects. Supervisor Beach yesterday an nounced the appointment of five In spectors, as follows: Fred IT. Saylor, Samuel R. Mason, John F. O'Conner, Hugh Dennlson and James F. Kertch en. The men will he assigned to two "wards each and will be Instructed to see to it . that no resident of their district is overlooked. They will check all lists as they are turned in, per sonally visit tho blocks of residences after tne enumerators have completed their rounds, keep trace of all fami lies who move or are absent from home when the first call Is made, and will take charge of the individual schedules turned In from day to day. More than 100 such blanks were received at the Lumber Exchange headquarters yes terday. Interpreters Not Xecded. No interpreters have as yet been nsked for by the men in the field. It having been found that In most in stances a search of the neighborhood reveals some person who can speak English and who is willing to help the count of his countrymen by volunteering as interpreters. Many amusing incidents are re vealed at the evening conferences be tween the enumerators and Supervisor Beach. The man making the rounds t Arbor Lodge, where Supervisor Beach resides, yesterday reported the married daughter of Senator Beach, Mrs. Donna McLaughlin, as not at home when he called. "Well, what did you find out about this woman?" inquired Mr. Beach "She is a kindergarten teacher out there," said the enumerator, "and I will have to go back at night to get her. She Is all right, though. Her father is that old Senator who lives out there." Several instances were reported in which men were found at work in the city who claimed homes in Washing ton, although they had been here sev eral months. They refused to furnish ieny Information to Portland enumer ators by which they might be counted. On the other hand, tho Supervisor ,vas cheered by the following letter ifrom Ashland, Or.: "I room at Ansonla Court, corner Fourteenth and Washington streets, rhy full name is Harry Wayland Ran dall, male, white. 31 years old, single, never married, my father was born in New Tork, my mother born in Chicago, can read, write and figure in Knglish, am an Insurance adjuster, have never been out of work, and have lived In Portland six months.- Put me In some 'where In Portland." Special Agent Arrives. H. Brockaw, special agent from "Washington, arrived In the city early 3d the week, and announced his pres ence only after he had arranged to open offices in the Beck building. He will be in charge of gathering agricul tural and mining statistics in Oregon. "Tho people are helping us," said Supervisor Beach yesterday, "and that fact accounts for the splendid manner in which the work has begun. "It must oe understood that the enumerators are entitled to secure the Information necessary to fill out the blanks, and that we have no option but to compel answers. On the other hand, my men have been cautioned to go about their work In a gentlemanly way and to avoid rubbing the fur the wrong way on anybody's back. "I do not want to cause the punish ment for any person for refusal to give us answers and I do not believe It will become necessary. It Is onlv fair to the enumerators uiat every per son be ready to answer the questions, which have been puhlished repeatedly by The Oregonlan. The men are work ing on a commission basts largely, and whenever they are compelled to ro over the ground a second time it Imposes a hardship by unnecessarily taking up their time." Exhibit in Holladay School. At the Holladay School Friday aft ernoon there was a fine exhibition of articles from the manual training and sewing departments. Also drawing was displayed. Work from the Irvington and Kuckman schools was also shown. There was a great variety ofarticles. all of which showed what is being done In the industrial departments of the city schools. W. G. Steele is instructor in the manual department. Great Interest was shown in the sewing department, of which Mrs. Anna Rogers Is Instructor. A large num ber of the parents visited the school house during the afternoon. JOINT ROADWAY If MALHEUR POSSIBLE WOMAN LANDSBIG TROUT Mrs. Maurice Goodman, of Fort land, Catches Record Rainbow. A mammoth rainbow trout, 28 inches long and weighing 5 pounds, 6 ounces, was caught on the Necanicum, three quarters of a mile above Seaside Fri day night by Mrs. Maurice Goodman, of 1110 Thurman street. According to Mr. Goodman, the trout is one Inch longer than the beauty captured by the veteran fisherman Sam Lee a week before. These trout are t & ' s i ; i .ww,, t ' ' H !

Mrs. Goodwin caught the trout with worm bait and was forced to play with the captive 50 minutes. Her rod was a .4-ounce fly rod. Mr. Goodwin reported yesterday that splendid baskets were being had in the meadows. The brook, trout were rising, he said, to a fly, but the best fishing was still in tide water. MILK-DILUTERS ARE FINED Two -Admit Placing Water in Lac teal Fluid, Penalty $25 Each. Pleading guilty to having water in their milk. C. Stump, of the California Dairy, and Michael Perty, of Perty & Mueller, proprietors of the Mount Scott Dairy, were each fined $25 yesterday by Judge Bennett. The complaint against them was . brought by City Milk Inspector Smith, who had stopped their wagons and taken samples of the milk as it was be ing delivered at dwellings. Frequent arraignments on this charge In the last few months In the Municipal Court show great activity on the part of the milk Inspectors. Judge Bennett ad ministers a nne in all cases and doubles the penalty for the second offenses. GRASiU ROJlDE VALLEY IUO- SEER CELEBRATES 51XE- t TY-SIXTH BIRTHDAY. I : i 1 MRS. HANNAH H. PALMER. Practically every settler In tho Grand Ronde Valley knows Hannah H. Palmer, who celebrated her 6th birthday Thursday. April 7. at her home In La Grande. On that oc- i casion she was visited by many r8t dents in the town. Mrs. Palmer was born In Delaware County, Penn sylvania. April 7. 1814. and In 18o7 she moved to Glenwood, Iowa. After spendlnc seven years In the state of the Hawkeye. the Palmer family crossed the plains In the usual emi grant fashion, reaching the .Grand Ronde Valley July 4. 1864. Even under considerable difficul ties, Mrs. Palmer has not failed to visit hor old home In Pennsylvania. . In 171 she went alone and In ISfin her husband, the late Robert Palmer. accompanied her. Of the 11 children born to Mrs. ralmer, six still survive. They are: Hannah Palmer. Mrs. F. Kewlin. Mrs. B. TV. Grundy. Mrs. C. V. Hardlns: and' Joseph Palmer, all of J La Grande: Mrs. A. E. Jones, of I I'artlanrl and Chnrles Palmer, of Maker City. Hill, Interests Said to Be in Position to Force Conces sions From Rival. NEITHER TO BE BLUFFED Rights of Way Up Canyon Are Said to Conflict and llarriniaii Lines, It Is Hinted, Intend to Compel Hill to Show His Hand. Although the surveys for the Oregon & Kastern. tho Harriman railroad on which coat'truetion work ha; commenced i at Vale, were made under the direction of George TV. JSoschkc, chief engineer of the O. R. & X., the construction work commenced, it is understood, is being prosecuted bj- the Oregon Short Line. The O. P.. & N. officials in Portland way they can give no information con cerning the work and that If any state ment is to be made it will emanntc from Genera! Manager Bancroft, of the Short Line at Salt Lake. . Two Roads Impracticable. Men in Portland who have knowledge of the character of the Malheur Canyon, tin which the road will huild to Harnev County, ray that while tho construction ! Is not so difficult as that in the Des chutes, it would be more difficult to build .two railroads in the former canyon than in the latter. This i caused by the crookedness of th stream. An ad vantageous locution might be secured by one road on one side of the river and an other, seeking to build in the canyon, would be compelled to construct on un satisfactorily sharp curvatures on the opposite fide. From Hill sources the assertion comes that the Hill interests have acquired sufficient rights of way in the Malheur to force, the Harriman line into conces sions on rights of way that the latter controls. Tf the Hill interests decide that they want a railroad in the Malheur Canyon, the probability is practically ad mitted that a Joint railroad will be built. Neither lioad to Be Bluffed. The history of the conflict for rights of way in tho Deschutes has shown that neither road can be bluffed out and it Is believed that there is regret on both sides now tiiat a joint railroad was not agreed upon from the "mouth of the canyon to Madras. In view of the understanding that each railroad has rights in the Malheur Can yon that will seriously interfere with the other, the suggestion Is made that the Harriman system is now engaged in an attempt to force Hill's hand with the view of ultimately agreeing with the latter on the construction of a joint' line If Hill is in earnest in that section of Oregon. In any event, the beginning of con struction work is taken to mean that Harney County, after many years of waiting, is at last to have a railroad and that a great area consisting of hay and grain lands unsurpassed In the state will ibe given railroad transportation very soon. Malheur Canyon Less Deep. The Malheur Canyon Is not so deep as the Deschutes, as may be realized when it Is told that the Deschutes in 130 miles drops more than 4000 feet before Joining the Columbia, while the Malheur, in a like distance, drops only 2000 feet. The Malheur drains out of the Malheur Iake basin through a gap in walls of rim rock at the connecting point of a broad valley that extends westward. From the point of egress from the canyon branch iineg and other routes will be feasible. The Hill road's projected route across the state from the head of the river. It 1s understood, lies considerably north of the Harriman survey and makes a connection with the Oregon Trunk line by following the dry bed of an ancient river that lies southeast of Rend, joining the Oregon Trunk line near that point. It Is also reported that a line is projected southward from a point on this route to Lakevlew. EAST AVAXTS FliVIT LANDS Railway Officials Show Faith in Northwest Enterprises.

No similar event -has bien so enthusiastically received as this ex cursion, which will leave at 5:35 Mon day, April 26. While the party is limited strlctlj to 75,. it Is yet a week until the trip and unforeseen circumstances may make it necessary for one or two mem bers to drop out, so a waiting list has been opened, from which selection will be made in rotation as occasion may arise. The excursion Is under the auspices rT the PnrtlnnH fnnimArlfll Pliih To talis of the itinerary have received ' especially careful attention, with the result that meals do not interfere with the important visits, and all the com munities are reached in (daylight. The dining- department is receiving the per sonal attention of . J. C. Morrison, superintendent of commissary, while William McMurray. general passenger asent. and John M. Scott, assistant general passenger agent, will accom pany the excursionists. Great Interest is felt in the towns to be visited and innumerable requests have come that the Itinerary be changed to Include new points, but this is impossible. Several out-of-town merchants considered going on the trip, but the list was filled before they notified the committee.
