Just three ? weeks from yesterday,
May 21, the enumerators will start out
upon the tedious, painstaking and ex
tremely important task - of taking the
census for tfie year 1905 as prescribed
by statute, which provides that a state
census be taken every five years, al
ternating with te fen-year census of
the United States government. . All are
greed that it will be the most impor

"It is a very critical 1 period for

this I mean to say that they should

"A good showing in the population
of Marion county, and especially the
eity of Salem, is moiiC essential in more
than one sense.. One most stop to think
of the great , contest: and competition
for supremacy that is going on Be tweed
tne different counties or the state in
point of rank as to population and that
there is much at stake. Up to the

as the Taxpayers': league, woo nave i

tion to the eity council for laying maca
dam pavement upon, about twenty-four
street blocks in the heart of the eity.
While macadam is conceded tobe a
good and comparatively inexpensive
system or street improvement there is
some question in the minds of many
prominent and practical citizens as to
the ability of this class of pavement
to withstand the heavy traffic of the
city. There is perhaps no better prac
tical system than macadam known for
the building of country roads, where
me iramc is so intermittent ana not
so heavy as in the city, but in the city,
where loads of two tons and over are
being constantly hauled over , the
streets, there is a question as to wheth
er macadam will stand -the wear, and
tear and give satisfactory resulta. With
this doubt uppermost- in their minds
plaee in many other lines. 'It is up. to gome citizens are still of the opinion

. "One of" the important things to be
taken into consideration and it is far
from being the least, although t is
only one among a hunderd, is the polit
ical phase of the situation. It must be
remembered that the legislative repre
sentation for the different districts rof
the state will be governed largely by
the result of the coming' census, and
Marion eounty should look well to her
laurels in this particular, as she is not
properly represented in ' the legislature
at the present time by any manner of
means. Everybody k'nows that 1 . the
population of this county has been
steadily on the increase 'for tne past
five years, a jrreat deal more than any
other previous like record, and it onlv

It is understood that the appoint

and the eounty eourt, and it is needless
to say that Ee will exereiss the greatest
of precaution and care .in fhs choice of

be decided upon, even if it does cost
a trine more at first cost, as it would

Some weeks ago there was an agita
tion on for the adoption of the new
process of paving known as the bitu
litbie process, which is a combination
of asphaltum with a concrete macadam
foundation and a patent top dressing.

the street a rough surface and the
horses a better foothold, with less lia

ever, has been allowed to die down of
late, but a prominent citizen and large
property owner v of tnis eity yesterday
revived the subject and called atten
tion to an item which appeared In a
Portland paper recently in regard to
the merits of this particular class of
pavement, as viewed by a l'ortland tax
payer who made an especial study and
investigation of the pavement, where
it has been in use for several years,
with a view of deciding upon the best
system for adoption for Portland. The
item alluded to follows:
L. J. Goldsmith, secretary of the
Taxpayers League, who left Portland
March 7 for a trip through the East
to investigate bituuthie pavements un
der all conditions of climate and loea

the beiiet that it is tne pest pavement

Paul, Boston, New York, Bedfod, Ash

bitulithic and other sorts of pavement
are in use.
"Boston is going to lay a great deal
of bitulithic pavemen," he said. "The
city engineer ,at Cambridge told me he
would have nothing else if he could get
bitulithic. At rtew Bedford, Mass.,
found the finest streets seen any where.
That is a great cotton factory town,
and and the streets have the heaviest
sort of wear, by transportation of great
bales of cotton and loads of manufac
tured goods.
" At St. Louis there are fifteen miles
of bitulithic pavement," he said. "The
