uNBANKABLE PAPER.
City Road Fund Warrants Not Good ut
the Banka.

City Road Fund Warrants Not Good ut
the Banka.
Saturday was the regular monthly pay
day OF this city's employees and over $50, 900
OF road fund warrants were distributed
among the army of iaborers working on
street improvements alone. As conse-
quence run upon the banks with this
paper Immediately followed. At first few
of the banks took up small quantity OF
the paper at per cent. discount, but
later the scrip came in so fast that the
cashiers OF the various banks refused TO
lake IL up ut any price.
The iaborers are paid only once month
and some OF them are sorely in need of
their pay. As q result of the action of the
banks IL was rumored that the laborers had
refused to return to work and many of
them had gone elsewhere to look for work.
A Posr-IsrKLLIogScER reporter saw
Street Commissioner Alexander Saturday
and interviewed him on the subject. He
said: 1T is true that the city banks have
refused to take up the scrip, but the matter
has been satisfactorily explained TO the
iaborers and none of them have quit work
or have expressed any intentions of doing
so. IL Is quite natural that they should
want their pay. and l don't blame them
for II. Some of them are very much in
need of it, !"
Councilman Durie was also seen and
questioned as to what step the city had
taken for the benefit of the laborers. He
said: Il think the banks will probably
take up the warrants on Monday or Tues
day. They have sent TO the city treasurer
for statement OF the citv's funds. The fact
OF the matter Is they don't want to take up
seripin excess ofthe amount OF Indebtedness
the city is allowed to assume. which is
$sio.oa. think the matter will be settled
satisfactorily in few DAYS"

terms.
He then introduced Commander Holmes
who thanked the speaker FOR his CON-
plimsnts and the audience for their gener-
Gus reception. He spoke enthusiastically
OF the Grand Army of the Republic and
Sons OF Veterans. whom he spoke of as tue
successors Of the Grand Army of the Re-
public.
Senator ]. r. kinear was called upon for
speech and responded in very pleasant
manner. He spoke particularly of the
manner in which the state of Washing
ton had favored the Grand Army
by appropriating sum for the
erection of national soldiers home. He
also concluded his address with a cempli-
mentary reference TO Commander Holmes,
who, he said, deserved the appointment
for the interest and energy with which he
has worked for the good OF the Grand
Army in Washington. Major Rinehart
delivered brief address, which lie inter-
spersed with quaint humor. He spoke en-
Enthusiastically of the Grand Army. the Sons
OF Veterans and the Woman's Relief Corps,
and added his quota to the general praise
of Commander Holmes election.
At the close OF Mayor Rinehart's al.
dress, which provoked great deal OF mer-
riment, Commander Street introduced
General Charles L. Griffin to the audience
Commander Griffin opened his address
with brilliant eulogy OF Seattle and its
wonderful commercial enterprise and pro-
gress, after which he referred to the Grand
Army in touching terms. and spoke of the
order of Sons of Veterans as its successor
and perpetuator. He concluded his ad-
dress with congratulatory remarks on the
appointment OF Commander Holmes.
Then came the most pleasing event of
the evening. Mrs. Holmes, on behalf OF
the Stevens Relief Corps, presented George
H. Thomas Camp. Sons of Veterans, with a
handsomely mounted silk national flag.
Captain Young received the present on
behalf OF the camp, and made brief.
manly speech. thanking the donators OF
the handsome flag.
The reception was concluded with q
grand march and dancing. after which the
principal guests were banqueted by the
George H. Thomas camp.
Commander Holmes was the lion of the
evening, and was the recipient of scores of
congratulations. When seen by Posi-
ISTELLieEScER reporter he spoke pleasantly
of his trip to Ellensburg, and referred
modestly to his election. He said the
Grand Army was In excellent condition
throughout the state and numbers now
1850 members. He said that before his
term of Office expired he hoped to increase
the membership 10 5000.
Commander Holmes also stated that the
Stevens Post. No. /, had always been
ahead of any Tacoma post in membership
before the fire. but since then the Custer
Post, No. 10, of Tacoma, has grown by ten
members larger than any Seattle post
During the encampment the delegates of
the two posts made mutual bet that at
the end OF the last quarter OF the year each
would be ahead of the other The forfeit
is to be grand supper for the winning

ESTIMATED POPULATION or COUNTIES.
The assignment of these enumerators is
determined by the estimated population
probably to be encountered on June l,
1880. allowance being of course made for
exceptional Typographical difficulties ex-
listing in counties having scattered settle
ments. The estimate made by Mr.. Jsn-
kins of the probable population Of his dis
trict is generally regarded as a very conser-
vative one. Taking his figures, the west
ern counties will be found TO rank in order
of population as follows:

q. s. MUSTER ROLL
Census Enumerators Designated
for King County.
FIFTY PER CENT. ARE VETERANS.


After ten weeks Of close application 70
the hercuiean task, Supervisor Of Census
Win D. Jenkins has completed the work Of
subdividing into enumeration districts snf-
fcientiy small to admit Of their being ham
died With ease, the nineteen counties COM
prising the First district of Washington.
and from the army Of applicants with their
varied and conflicting claims for appoint
ment. has selected those presenting the
most meritorious features, preference being
given in every instance to honorabiy dis
charged Union soldiers or sailors possessed
of the necessary clerical abilities. Ii is an
interesting fact that ont OF the 132 enumer-
ators appointed by him, Mr. Jenkins has
succeeded in finding nearly 50 per cent. of
that number among veterans whose cleri-
cal abilities are above the average. these
old soldiers being mostly found in the rural
districts. although in this respect Seattle Is
fairly we'll cared for, four out of her four
teen enumerators having had war service.
II is peculiarly appropriate that this ele-
ment should be extended substantial
recognition in this work. as one of the new
features introduced at this census. and per-
haps one of its most important phases, is
the enumeration upon separate schedules of
diers, which will be subsequently published
book form for use of the general public,
and more particularly TO enable the PEN
sion authorities to have q reliable directory
of survivors.
The designation of enumerators for King
