MTION'S POPULATION
ESTIMATED 91,424,423
Figures Are Alao Given on Greater
New York and Other
Cities.
There Is much speculation as to
what the official figures will show
the population of the entire United
States to be by the present census.
The census office unofficially estim
ates the Increase of population since
1900 at 15.12103 per cent. This
makes the estimated total population
of tho country 91,424,423.
The unofficial estimate for Greater
New York Is 4,563,603, an Increase
since 1900 of 1,125,401. The popu
lation of Chicago Is estimated at 2,
282,926. Other estimated totals are:
Philadelphia, 1,540,429; St. Louis,
98,716; Daltlmore, 583,374; Wash
ington, 350,145; New Orleans, 332,
132.
Cleveland Is credited with having
20,9938 Inhabitants, Cincinnati
with 354,012; Duffalo with 401,535;
Denver with 159,226; Pittsburg, in
cluding Allegheny, with 569,923;
Indianapolis with 250,036; St. Paul
with 229,869, and Kansas City with
194,788.
was 71 years old on March 15. lie

It is said that Weston looked about
twenty pounds lighter than when he
started from New York last January
to go by rail to California. Since
he left Santa Monica, the aged pedes
trian has been handicapped by a
number of accidents. In Arizona he
fell through a trestle and severely
Injured his left leg, but continued
his walk. On March 22, one week
after his 71st birthday, he was twice
overcome by the heat. After leav
ing Chicago, he encountered wet
weather, but ended his Journey 12
days ahead of schedule.
Building Mountain Itoads.
Other developments are well along.
Three miles of road have been built
to connect with the county road, at
present the best piece of road be
tween the mine and the railroad. A
sawmill has been In operation for the
past five months. One-half mile of
14-Inch pipe line has been laid to
convey water for power, of which
there is an abundance. A power plant
lias been Installed, an electric light
plant, and an air-compressor. Air
drills are In operation. Ventilation
apparatus for clearing the mine of
amoke quickly after each blast has
boon Installed. A retaining dnm, ore
cribs, blacksmith shop, boarding
house and bunk houses have been
built.
The finances of this mine are In
good condition, for tho conservative
policy of tho management Is not to
go In debt, or contrart bills till It lias
the money to pay them, and for that
reason the last block of stock Is now
being sold for the purpose of buying
the machinery for reducing the ore
at the mine. The company owns
nine claims, has abundant water
power and timber for all Its needs
for years to come.
llcportcil Discovery of Kate Homier.
A dispatch from Klovlsta, Cal.,
says that Mrs. Gavin, who recently
lled In thnt place, was no loss a
personage than Kate fiender-, the
daughter of William Hinder, of
Kansas, who had a private graveyard
of his own. He kept a rond house
near Cherry, and many people were

A Jungle Land Fable.
Young Kermlt Roosevelt, who has
shown himself to be a good hunter,
a lucky amateur photographer and a
"stayer," now breaks In as a story
teller. He rocounts a tale told by an
African bearer on one of the long
marches. It Is a story of a spider
who needed money. He borrowed
1000 cowries from the dog and 1000
more from the hyena. When pay day
came the dog presented himself to
-ilect the money doe.
"All right, brother," said the
spider, "your money Is ready. But
listen! I hear a noise. It's the
hyena.' Quick, under the table with
you."
The dog hid under the table Just
as the hyena entered, sniffing.
"Pay me," demanded the hyena.
"Walt, I smell a dog."
"Under the table, brother," said
the spider. "Eat him up, and con
slder your debt paid."
And this was tho origin of Wall
street.
SHASTA UNITED HAS
A SERIOUS WRECK
Tender and Six Cars Derailed N'ear
Eugene Crew and Passengers
Not Injured.
The northbound Shasta Limited
train was ditched at Judkln's Point,
half a mile east of Eugene's city lim
its, Monday. The accident occurred
on a fill where the heavy rains of
the previous night had softened the
road bed and allowed the rails to
spread. The tender first Jumped the
track, followed by the baggage
and express cars, diner and three
Pullmans. Strangely enough, the
engine remained on the rails, al
though the cars tipped at an angle
varying from 20 to 45 degrees. Had
they turned over they would have
been precipitated down an embank
ment 15 feet high and doubtless
crushed, with attendant heavy loss
of life. As It was, no one was In
jured beyond a general shaking up.
Wrecking crews were called from
Roseburg and Portland.

Teaching by Picture Methods.
The schools of Grants Pass should
bo provided with a set of films along
educational lines, as by no other
means can certain Important subjects
bo so successfully brought to the full
comprehension In an educational
way as by the film methods. If It Is
not practical to supply our schools
with these modern methods, perhaps
the management of one of our elec
tric theaters can be Induced to sup
ply his house with a full set of films
and these can be used Saturdays
and advertised so that the school
children and others Interested can
have an opportunity to follow these
Illustrated subjects. This will make
the theater that will undertake to
supply the need popular among the
families who are fortunate to have
children.
One of these films was exhibited
at a theater In Portland Inst month
and attracted much attention among
all classes. This Is what was said
In one of tho newspapers at tho time
regarding the exhibit of one of tho
films:
"This Is worth all the lectures, all
the tuberculosis exhibits, and most of
the pamphlets," exclaimed Dr. O. S.
White, state health officer today' ns

The Great Sells-Floto Shows Con
solidated present along with their
comedy department this year numer
ous prominent Jesters, commonly
called "clowns." Lon Moore Is the
principal Jester and associated with
him are 45 kings of the clowning
world. Along with these funny chaps
others also assist with comical antics.
When intermingling with citizens
on the street none of them would be
suspected of wearing the loose robes
of tho fool, but when they are In the
ring with their make-ups on, they
laugh and the crowd laughs with
them. A Jolly lot, and they have cer
tainly helped to unload at least tem
porarily the care3 from the minds of
thousinds of people.
Clowning Is an art of Itself, the
best clowns are born, not made. The
fun making department of the Great
Sells-Floto Show Is fully up to the
high standard of Its other depart
ments; In fact, many a person will
testify to the statement that the
clowns with this show are worth the
price of admission. Their work Is
appreciated, as the present strenuous
life of most people causes them to
relish a little pure nonsense now and
then.

there is where it ends.
"The tragic thing about this card
club craze is that it does not stop
with the women, but the children
are taught to play and the young
people are rung In to fill out a game,
and the men are sometimes even
'allowed' to play. And so the card
club becomes the school, the tech
nical school, from which the gambler
graduates. Of 3,200 gamblers ar
rested in Chicago following the
world's fair, nine-tenths testified
they learned the game in the home
and eight-tenths In so-called Chris
tian homes."

SOUTHERX PACIFIC TO
SELL OIL LANDS
It has been announced In New
York that the Southern Pacific rail
road Is preparing to sell its holding
of oil lands, which, it is roughly es
timated, are worth $100,000,000. It
says that the proceeds of the sale
will be distributed among the stock
holders. This seems altogether an
incredible statement, as the oil furn
ishes the fuel to run the railroad. To
sell these oil land3 would seem to be
bad business policy.
Mother Sued by Daughter.
Chicago furnishes a really first
class sensation. It is said the daugh
ters of the intrepid Capt. Calbrlck,
who died in 1907, have filed a peti
tion in the superior court asking that
their mother, Mrs. Katherlne Cal-brlck-Harley,
be restrained from
spending the remainder of the Cal
brlck estate on girlish finery and the
entertainment of her young spouse,
Alfred Harley. The daughters allege
that although their mother is 63
years of age she married a man
twenty years her Junior when she
might have married his father. We

Kisses Sold for Cliarlty.
A party of young women connect
ed with one of the leading churches
of Omaha went to the live Stock ex
change a few days ago to Bell tickets
to a charity entertainment. They
found that they had come to a poor
market, for after canvassing the en
tire building not a ticket was sold
and they were about retiring when
Rudolf Franklin came to their rescue
with a suggestion that selling kisses
with tickets thrown in would be a
better paying business. The chal
lenge was accepted and $5 named as
a kiss price. The girls Boon netted
the snug little sum of $105. Selling
kisses may be all right in Omaha, but
please excuse us, as the price is
pretty high, unless the commodity is
of an excellent brand.
