so as to make' the street utterly Im
passable; but Mr. Kearney wanted a

census, therefore, will be compiled In;
1905.
It is made the duty cvf the county as
sessors throughout the state to take
th census In their respective counties,
the work commencing May 10. Each
assessor Is required to ascertain the
number of legal voters Is his county,
the number of males who are of age,
the number under 10 years of age and
the number between 10 and 21. He
must also ascertain the number of
females who are of age the number un
der 10 and the number between 10 and
18.
It Is also the assessor's duty to
gather full information as to the agri
cultural products of the county, the
number of acres under cultivation, the
quantity of salmon taken during the
preceding year and other statistics of
commercial and industrial value. When
the census has been completed, it must
be copied by the county clerk and then
transmitted to the secretary of state.
A large number of deputies will be
required If the taking of the census
is to be done with thoroughness, and
the expense will be heavy. The re
suits, however, are expected to be of
more than usual value next year.

Gold Output In Yukon.
The annual report of the department
of the Interior of the Dominion of Can
ada for 1903 gives the following con
cerning the production of gold In the
Tukon territory: The gold production
for the year ended June 30, 1903,
tuuuumeo 10 iz,ii3,vi&.3f, as com
pared with 39,566,340.52 in the previous
year. The value of gold produced there
last year was greater than In any
other year, the next best having been
in 1899-1900. when the production
amounted to 38.809,464.(4. The large
output of last year is attributed to an
unusually rainy season, owing tp the
fact that a large amount of the pay
dirt is removed by hydraulic methods.
It is stated that there are about 3.500
acres of land in the Yukon territory
under cultivation, on which all kinds
of vegetables are grown. Oats have
also ripened and strawberries were
successfully cultivated.

Story of Alleged Daring Venture of
Two Portland Boys.
The following Portland dispatch to
the San Francisco Call, dated July t
will doubtless be read with interest In
Portland and Astoria, as the informa
tion had not previously leaked out:
In a 25-foot single sticker two Port
land schoolboys have started on a
voyage for Honolulu by way of San
Francisco. Late this evening they ar
rived at Astoria and tomorrow early
will see them on the sea.

are the youths who will attempt a feat
never yet undertaken in so frail a!
craft. Glen Is the captain and pro
moter of the scheme, while his chum,
Harry, is the crew, though he Is the
owner of the craft In which the voyage
is to be made. The captain's father is
a prominent wholesale commission
man, and the boy has stocked the
yacht with all necessaries from money
he has earned himself. The boys
moored the little craft beneath the Jef.
ferson street bridge on June 23, and
hand-over-hand lowered their small
stock of supplies with the aid of ropes,
ine loading took most of the day.
Next morning the lads induced the
owners of a launch to give them a lift
to the mouth of the Willamette. When
last seen they were sailing down the
Columbia on Monday morning. At that
time everything was going nicely.
Twice since the departure of the lit
tie craft, which is named The Portland
