association, stating that the date for
the holding of the good roads con

Prepared for the Rush.
"Portland will take care of the
crowds this season, very gracefully,"
said Charles J. Gray, traveling freight
and passenger agent for the North
western lines to the East Oregonlan
today. "The city has been adding
new lodging houses and annexes to
hotels until there Is ample room for
all visitors who may come. Besides,
Portland homes will be thrown open
to the visitors. Scarcely a home that
will not accommodate from one to 10
roomers, thus making an endless sup
ply of rooms. It is now thought a
movement will be started to. provide
a tented camping ground In some con
venient place, also, to accommodate
those who may desire to camp out
during the fair. The Northwestern
Is prepared to handle its share of the
rush to the coast."

WIDOWS WON T TELL AGES.
Strain7 Is Very Gallant and Their Re
fusal Worries Him.
Many are the difficulties that fall
to the lot of a census taken, but As
sessor Strain, who Is now personally
taking the enumeration In Pendleton,
says that so far he has met with but
one unsurmountable obstacle In his
present Job. This is In ascertaining
the age of widows, and in this regard
the skill of the assessor has been
almost as severely taxed as ' it has
been In properly assessing the O. R,
& N. company.
In two different enses It Is said that
Mr. Strain has failed to secure com
plete data through the flat refusal
of the parties to divulge their ages.
In this they ierslsted, although In
formed by the assessor that they
were liable to a fine of $20 for In
subordination. In one of the In
stances he was told to guess at the
matter, but replied:
"Mudam, It would be ungallant
for me to enumerate you at the age
I would presume you to be."
