The population of the state of North Dakota is 675,056, according to the census bureau" today. This is an Increase of 80.8 per cent over the census of 19100. The state gets one new congressman under the present apportion- raent. The population of South Dakota is 538,888, an Increase of 45 per cent. The increase does not entitle the state to any additional congressmen. Union Pacific have placed orders for fSV new locomotives," said Krutf schnltt, "these are mostly for thi benefit of the extreme western busi ness of the companies. In addition 85 more engines are. under construc tion. One hundred of the locomo tives are for passenger service, 40 for switching and the barance for freight trains." , Concerning building operations now In progress In Oregon, Krutt schnitt said that the line eaBt of the Cascades was "being pushed to com pletion with all speed. Seventy miles are under construction, and 120 more will be added before tho project Is complete. The completion of this line, he said, will shorten the time between San Francisco and Portland by many hours, as It is not only shorter than the present route but Is on an easier grade.

DINNER AND DINERS FINE The Mayor-olect Kpoke Feelingly of the Honor Conferred on Him by Salem, and Paid Fine Tribute to Mayor Rodgcrs and His Adminis tration Outlined His Policies Only to the Extent of Saying "The Best I Can For All." In order to show his appreciation of what he was pleased to call "the splendid treatment he had received at the hands of the Salem newspa pers during the recent city election, Mayor-elect Lachmund tendered the pencil pushers a little dinner at tho Hotel Marlon last night. There were present Mr. Upjohn and Mr. Parks, ot the Statesman; and Mr. Hansen and Mr. Cradlebaugh of the Journal, and just to fill In and give a few friends a touch ot real first class company, Messrs. John and Conrad Krebs and Arnold Crossan were Included ,a guests. The party aat down at 8 o'clock to on of the biggest and best served dinners ever put. on a hotel table in Salem, or" for that' matter, any where else. The grill room was used tor the occasion and' with the abundance of good things, two vel vet-footed and deft handed waiters and the genial host, the evening was one that all present will' long remember. ' With the coming of the cigars. congratulatory "talks" were niadi by all present, and Mr. Lachmund as a man, councilman and citizen generally, was pretty thoroughly and wittily discussed. In fact h came In for much good natured badinage and a running fire of com ment, but under which could be seen a warm personal liking for the man and an admiration of the council man. In response to an insistent call for a speech, the mayor-elect- ex pressed his keen appreciation of tho friendship shown him by the news paper boys, and while he did not even pretend to outline his course as mayor, he did say that be Intend ed to the best of his ability to glvj TO EXTEND POWER OF CONGRESS Washington, Dec. 7. -In an effort to give congress the power to curb monopolies, Congressman John A, Sterling, of Illinois, today intro duced a joint resolution provldlsj for the submission of a 'constitu tional amendment empowering con gress to suppress trusts. The resolu tion provides that "congress shall have (he power to prevent and sup press monopolies throughout tha United States through appropriate legislation." Sterling who Is the ranking mem ber of the bouse committee on judi ciary, wants the amendment to give congress power not only to regulate Interstate, but state commerce. In certain cases. It la necessary," he said, "that -congress control not only the big corporations operating be tween, the states and in foreign com merce, but also those operating within the states. State auiboriti-M do not proceed harmoniously In corf troiltng corporations, and the diver gent views held by different stato officers often result In evil corpora tions continuing In existence." The only way In which monopo lies may be checked In all the states. Sterling believes, U through thfl power of the federal goverumt-ut. Meat Prices Higher. . Chicago, Dec. 7. Thevprlce ot pork and pork products Is tending upward, followlns a small decline during the last few weeks. Packers today ad- mlt that the prices are again soaring, and, although there has been no advance In .Chicago, It Is bound to come within a few days, they say. Hogs and hog products are higher, though the advance Is only slight. The out- look Is for still higher prices. every citlsen a squace deal and th? city generally tho very best admin istration It was In his power to give. Incidentally he paid a glowing trib ute to Mayor Rodgers, commending his progressive' policy and broad guaged business methods. He said he realized that Mayor Rodgers had Inaugurated many Improvements which would have to be carried out during his term. That the growth ot the olty made the work of the mayor's office every year ot much greater Importance but that ho would be satisfied. If at the end of hla term he could look back upon It as Mayor Rodgers will be able to do on his, with a Btncere feeling of pride. He did not mention the sa loons or the arc lights, or for that matter, any branch of the city busi ness, or intimate his probable course. In fact, be stated that at this little social dinner, much as tho boys might want "a hunch on thn news," that It would not be proper to even suggest hlB plans beforo stating them to the city council, upon whom he would have to de pend for aid In carrying on the city government, and who indeed, must suggest' and direct as much or more than the mayoc, the city's policies. The Statesman this morning, perhaps unwittingly, conveyed the impression that the mayor-elect was going to try to run things-with n high hand, that he reflected on the admln'stratlon of Mayor Rodgers, and also upon the action of the council; but this was far wide ot the truth. Mr. Lachmund did not refer to street paving or street con tracts, other than to explain briefly the reduction of the rates charged for bltullthlo pavement, .and to com ment on the "imnrovements" on North Frona street which he clashed as bad, In fact so bad that the whole business was now In a fair way to be threshed out In tie courts.
