be had been after the signature q Gov
ernOr Miles c. Moore 10 aEequisltIon for .
murderer named Richard See. Tho lat
ter Is in jail at EllenSburgh serving out
. six months term on smother charge Of
assault with intent to commit murder.
Eighteen years ago Richard See and
William Duncan were faFmeIa Al Los An
geles. One day they were playing cards
In saloon and had . dispute over the
game. See left the saloon II = towering
rage and went to his home mile and q
half away. He took down his shotgun
and drew out the charge Of bird shot.
Then loaded his gun carefully with buck
shot. As he premoditatod murder, he
also prepared for flight BY saddling his
heetest horse and placing Il conveniently
near. He entered the saloon with bis
shOtgunleveled and shot At Duncan who
was but . few feet away. Duncan threw
up his left arm and the load of shot went
through bis left arm and into his side.
The murderer mounted his horse, flsd
TO the mountains, and managed to reach
Winnemueca. He sent for his wife, and
lived there for sixteen yoars under the
name Of BENEFIT Jackson During most Of
this period he ran aresturant.
Two years since. the authorities at Los
Angeles learned Of his whereabouts, and
in June last sent detective Russell to
Winnamucca after him. When the officer
arrived there the bird had lown. II

just been sentenced 10 aix months lmpris-
onment for assault. As the term has now
expired, Russell viii take him back to
Los Angeles to be tried there for murder.
There are no les than six witnesses living
in Los Angeles ct present who saw the
murder committed.
Duncan left wife and Eve children.
His homestead was In what is now = pro-

sons and two daughters have grown up
and are wealthy, and naturally desire re-

THE CENSUS IN 1890.
In Estimate Of tho Population Of the
Great Cities.
Were Rapidly Than Any Other
PaFt % the Union.

The census Of 1880 reduced the sup
posed population Of a great many cities.
Some Of them lost all the way from %, 900
to $1,000 inhabitants. The "cold facts"
overturned great many theories. The
census Of 1880 will probably produce sim
liar results. There Il always 4 material
difference between the speculative esti-
mates Of population and the facts set
down In the census. The per cent. Of in
crease In population viii be shown to be
larger in that part Of the northwest terri
tory between the Rocky mountains and
the Pacific than in any other part Of the
country. But this pen. cent. Of increase
does not in all cases show the actual
growth. A small population may double
quicker than large one. But the decade
soon to close has witnessed more impor-
tant changes in the northwest than any
other part Of the country.
Ten years ego, for instance, very little
was heard ABOUT Dakota territory. Now
II is about to be admitted into the Union
as two prosperous states. The Puget
Sound country did not attract q great
deal Of attention. But since the COM
pletion Of the Northern Pacific railroad,
Washington territory has not only drawn
to Il population, but ii has attracted men
Of capital and enterprise. In the last
years Of the present decade several
large cities are springing up along the
shores Of Puget Sound; the commercial
feet frequenting those waters has doubled
three or four times, and the site Of 4 navy
yard Is about to be designated somewhere
on the Sound. In the ten years from
1860 to 1880 the increase Of population
for the whole country was 80 per cent.
The increase shown by the next census
viii probably not be less, based upon a
larger population.
An eastern contemporary estimates
that the next census will show a popula-
ton In the state Of New York Of 700 900
and in Pennsylvania 5 100000. Ohio will
have $4,000 and Illinois 3,50O,0OO
These are extreme figures. The census
may reduce them materially. The same
authority estimates the population Of the
eight leading cities Of the country as
follows:
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1889-05-23

Cincinnati is rated below San Francisco,
but the former is the commercial capital
Of state having, by recent estimates, al
most four millions Of people. II Is evident
that the lake ports have had some in
tluence in retarding the growth Of Gin
cinnati. Cleveland and Toledo are loom
ing up as great commercial cities. Then
the estimates for Chicago appear to be
inflated. But that city has recently an
nexed q number Of populous suberbs, and
may be able TO come as near making good
its claim 10 its extreme estimate, as some
Of the other cities. Not many years ago
Chicago and St. Louis were having hot
contentious a. 10 their respective popula-
tion. Each claimed the largest number.
But according to recent estimates, st.
Louis at tie next census will have only
about half the population Of Chicago. II
New York should annex Brooklyn, Of
which there Is now some prospects, at or
near the close Of the present decade, It
would be the second largest city in the
world. It now looks as II Chicago, whose
beginnings are within the memory Of
many men now living, would in 1890 be
the ninth city as TO population in the
world. The next decade will probably be
distinguished in the Northwest Pacific
states as one Of more remarkable growth
than any preceding one. The increase
Of the maritime cities win be unprcce-
dented. The arid lands Of the interior
will be brought under cultivation by the
use Of water, and wherever irrigation is
adopted TO any considerable extent, lands
will be subdivided and large rural popu-
Iatlons will be concentrated.

A person familiar with railroad affairs
can look ct q train as it dashes by and
tell, by the numbers Of the cars, Of what
class Of cars the train is composed. On
the Northern Pacific railroad the emipTant
cars are numbered from 400 to 500. The
cars numbered from 500 to COO are smok-
ingcas. Those bearing numbers between
800 and 900 are flrst-class coaches and
the dining cars are numbered from 900 TO
1000. The sleepers are named, as are all
the Pullman sleeping cars. As yet, none
Of the cars bear numbers from 700 to sou.
Perhaps the railroad Is reserving these
numbers for some new feature In railroad
architecture, or perhaps q superior class
Of cars to make up limited express are
to be designated by these numbers.

GENERAL LDII ANDERSON.
DdG SE.icA Il d, Lin 4 a RaIE.sd Duildr.

General Adna Anderson, whose death
was announced several days ago. was one
Of the most prominent civil engineers this
country has ever produced. He began
his professional career on the Western
railroad Of Massachusetts thirty-fve years
ago. He located . number Of railroads
before the war, the Michigan 5outhsrn,
Northern Indiana and the Mobile 4 Ohio
being the most notable roads. He was
also before the war chief engineer Of the
Tennessee 4 Alabama, Edgsheld 4 Ken
lucky and other southern railroads.
At the conclusion Of the war, In which
he had served calamity and with distinc-
ton, and during which be was chief en-
gineer Of construction Of the government
military roads, he became the superin-
tendent Of the Kansas Pacific railroad.
He also served with much ability as vice.
president and general manager Of the
Toledo, Wabash 4 Western railroad. He
was appointed by the Chicago, Dsnville
4 Vineennes railroad and was also at
various times chief engineer and general
manager Of some Kentucky roads.
General Anderson was engineer In chief
Of the Northern Pacific from the beginning
Of the year 1880 until November, 1887.
One year Of that ime-Septsmbef, 1885,
to September, lss7-he was also second
vice-president Of the road with headquar-
ten at Tacoma.
During the time he was engineer in
chief, the main line Of the road was ex-
tended from the crossing Of the Missouri
river at Bismarck 70 Tacoma, and besides
numerous branch lines were built in Mon
tana, Dakota and Washington.
When General Anderson was elected
chief engineer Of the Northern Pacific rail-
road be received = larger salary and had
located and constructed more miles ofraIl-
road than any other American engineer.
