Church and Herbert Lee at Vancouver
In November. , 190G. but there la ' no
Tecord of a marriage vln the Clarke
county courts. It is surmised by the
ofrloers that the shrewd Mongolian
made the Church girl believe she was
married when she took the oath of her
age. This is borne out by the state'

' Portland's school census, taken , In
-February for the year 1908-7, shows
, a population of 2,1J9 children between
the ages of 4 and 20 years. The increase
over is 2,171 children. The toul it see ma
ter was brought to his attention, made
the loiiowing statement: -we nave ai
ways had trouble with the. school cen
bus. and while I have not aeen a report
as to how the matters stand on the
school records, I will,, hazard a guess
that the censua-takera never visited the
more remote portions of the annexed
districts of the city, and probably copied
tha names from tha old census books.
"Such an Increase aa the achool
clerk's records show Is ridiculous when
the very evident Increase ' In popula
tion Is considered. ' Then you' must also
count the hundreds of children who
have turned Into' their fourth year and
are entitled under the state law to draw
achool money. Somethlng is radically
wrong and the census must be retaken,
for Portland can't afford to lose 820,000
to 850,000. n -, ." '"" ' - ' - '
r "School Clerk Allen hires the census
takers and the matter of getting the
children's names has always been left
In his hands. I don't know what
method he pursues In gathering the
names, but It is patent that some grave

which showed that the achool attendance
marked a greater1 Increase than the

"The fact also must be taken Into
consideration- that there la consider

pupils living without the) district The
census was taken in February but un
der the new law we shall ba compelled
to take it again in November. ; The ap
portionment of school money Is based
on the Februry census althoogh fixed in
December. Personally I do not believe
the census ia short the amount claimed."

City Superintendent Rlgler aald: 'The1
inorease in attendance aa compared with
the increase in census shows a gain of
approximately 160 per cent, when the
increase according to normal , figures
should be only 70 per cent. This leads
me to believe that there is something
over 8,000 pupils not accounted for on
the rolls. The Increase in the enroll
