There are wheels within wheels in
the management of the Port Angeles
Eastern Railroad Co., as in all other
railroad companies and corporations
of like magnitude. Although the grist
they are grinding and the noise they
are making are neither very loud nor
plainly apparent to an anxious and
long suffering public. said wheels are
still going round and accomplishing
results. This is the assurance given
the Tribune-Times man this week by
President Gushing.
Tuesday the Goth inst. was the date
fixed for the annual meeting of the
stockholders and the directors OF the
company. In the Office of the presi-
dent there was due and legal gather
ing of the stockholders at the appoint
ed hour, and adjournment was taken
to Tuesday OF next week. Just what
business what transacted and what
postponed, remains, of course sealed
book to the public.
When asked, by the reporter, for
views of the meeting of President
Gushing said in effect:
II am aware that the public is eager
and anxious for information of our
movements, and no one would be more
glad to give out some definite and final
information than /, could it be done
without endangering our plans.
There are complications which must
be adjusted among ourselves and in
which the public can have no interest
or part. Certain things must be done
before the men who are putting up the
capital to build our road will proceed
These things are being done as rapid
ly as time will permit and all will
soon be satisfactorily arranged. Our
official meeting will be adjourned
from time TO time till the desired re.
suits are accomplished, when we will
have some news for you and some
people out from the East which the
public will not be sorry to hear and
see. You may assure your readers
that, although we know the long con-
tinued delays are CALLING and dissap-
pointing, rything is all right and
there is no possible question as to the
out CT me-"
cit has been reported on the streets,
Mr., Gushing, that you have or are to
sever your connection entirely with
the management of the compa n.y.
said the reporter.
"You may say for me emphatically,
replied the president, "that this il
wholly untrue. My interests remain
the same in the company and expect
to stay with and see the enterprise to
its final and successful conclusion.
You cannot make my denial of this
story to strong.-Port Angeles I ribune
Times.

CENSUS AND PERSONS AWAY
FROM HOME DURING
JUNE.

The count of the people in the
United States will begin in all parts
Of the country June 1. and end in
the cities two weeks later and in the
rest of the country before the close
of the month. The people are to be
counted at their places of residence,
but as many persons and families
will be away from their homes during
June there is some danger that such
persons will not be counted If they
are not counted, the locality In which
they live will be misrepresented to
that extent. and in some cases this mis-
representation may be enough to affect
the representation in congress OF the
state from which they come. Local
pride and state pride, therefore, should
influence all such aDsentees to take
reasonable precautions against being
omitted from enumeration in their
places of residence.
Such omissions are most likely to
occur in the large cities where families
close their homes and go elsewhere for
the summer. The oc surrence of the
Paris exposition this year Is likely to
increase the number absent from the
country.
In all cases of contemplated absence
the head of the family is requested by
the census Office to communicate with
the supervisor of the district in which
he lives. He is also requested to leave
information regarding his answers tc
the questions which are to be asked
with some responsible neighbor who
will agree to see that it reaches th'
enumerator on his rounds. Such In
formation might better be left as q
memorandum in writing, as in thai
case 1t is less likely to be overlooked
The questions to which answers are de
sired apply primarily to the popula
ton, but also to all farms and manu-
featuring establishments. They ar
being published from time to time il
the press of the country.
BY taking this trouble the absent cit
liens will do justice to his locality ani
his state, and materially aid the censu
office in the performance Of lite duties
