ASHLAND, Jan. 5. Seven women
innd only two men fisuro on the per
i&onncl of the ferierul census board
for this city, whose lnbors began Jan.
) 2. Ashland has nine election pre
icincts, consequently a like number of
? enumerators. A civil service exam
ination determined the qualifications
,jOf the canvassers, and certainly wom
ian suffrage was vindicated In - the
Uelccttcn on a seven by two basis.
iTho men are W. B. Ueebo, retired
f merchant, who has joined the bacU-
to-the-soil movement, also Kcv. 1). D.
; Edwards, pastor of the Nazarone
ichurch. The women Include Mrs.
i-Anna Snnford, .Mrs. I.eta Urittsan,
t-Mrs. Hugh McKenzie, Mrs. R C. Ste
;; veils, Mrs. Bessie Heath, Miss Mina
i Urower, and Miss Luella Bailey. B.
I G. Cochran, assistant supertisor of
I census f(,T this congressional district.
;has confirmed these appointments as
applying to Aphland, also that of H.
; O. Anderson, who 9ill canvass the
Nieil creek and Belleview precincts,
j Speculation is being indulged in
regarding the outcome in this city as
far as population figures are con
deemed. Ten years ago Ashland was
Jin 'the 5000 classification, and citi-
zens aro sanguine that the canvass
j this year will reveal 6000 or more
i Inhabitants.
The length of time allo(jcl for the
'enumeration seems to be indetermin
.nte, but one can rest assured that the
j work will be expedited, and that too
I; with thoroness and accuracy in line
with federal methods. In the mean
time citizens should be in readiness
: to supply all information nt first
hand. This is a federal census and
no political straw vote. Enumera
tion of the population is not the only
issue Involved. There is a mass of
information sought which is some--tthnt
bewildering as to detail and
certainly overwhelming as to scope.
:T1ig government demands all this
i dtn, so don't got foxy either thru the
'channels of omission or commission
? In thwarting the mission of tho enu
morators in their efforts at securing
an "honest count." Moreover there
is a penalty liable to be assessed
i against those who deliberately refuse
'to afford air information required.
: By fnr the better ay is to extend the
gljd hand to the enumerators, wi'sh
! lng them a happy Xev Year, and
thus all may rest assured that the
' exchango of courtesies will bo mu-
? tual in behnlf of "tho good of the
', service." .

because of foreign competition.

H. Huak of Portland, Ore., and E. A.

The bi downtown stores have coni
plele lines of ciolhinir on sale in their
"stibwav" sections at the prices fix

When merchants from innnv sec

list was unfair, that it made them ap

dealers explained.
The clot liiiivr on sale here was ali

LOS Ah'GBLES, Jan. 5. lack
Denipsey, world's heavyweight cham
plon was so busy with his motion
picture work today that ho referred
to his manager, Jack Koarns, all In
quiries about his prospective match
with Georges Carpenticr of Franco
European champion, which Kearns
announced last night would ho 45
rounds long and would bo staged at
Tlquana, Lower California, under the
auspices of James W. Coffroth,
Carpentler would agree.
Kearns said Coffroth',' a well
known sporting man and president of
a racing association at Tijuana had
offered a $400,000 pure for the
match and that It was the best offer
received.
Kearns spoke, of a division of tho
purse on a basis of $300,000 to the
winner and $100,000 to tho loser and
one thoroly satisfactory to lilm and
staled Coffroth had an agent.
Charles Harvey, In Europe, attempt
ing to Induce Carpentler to sign
contract to meet Dempsey at Tijuana.
Kearns said he thought such
match would draw gate receipts of
$750,000 considering its internation
al aspects, as the Dempscy-Willard
fight at Toledo O., July 4 last, had
drawn about $450,000.
The champion's manager also said
ho wanted a percentage of the nio
Hon picture privileges and of nil oth
er concessions at tho prospective
match.
Koarns declared the proposition
was thomlv satisfactory to him and
Dempsey and' that it "now is up to
Coffroth to sign up Carpentler."
