Ames, Feb. 2.-The report, some-
times published, that the Filipino

true so far as those at the State Col

department is authority for the state

been made by this time had Governor
Cummins been able to be at the state
house. AS soon as Gen. Thrift has
had AN opportunity to confer with him
it is likely the announcement will be
made Gen Thrift has stated that he
desires to settle the matter as soon
as possible, in order that the affairs OF
the office may not be interrupted more
than is necessary.
BY taking the name and address OF
every person enumerated in the CEN
sus it is believed by Secretary David
son of the executive council that the
possibility of padding the census with
out chance of detection is removed.
Books are provided to the assessors
which hold 1000 names each. The
total of the state will very quickly be
arrived at when the last book is re-
turned. But IL there is any claim at
any time that one city is trying to
make itself appear big the names will
be there for reference. The address Is
given whenever there is a street num-
ber otherwise the postoffice address.
The first book to be returned was Nom
the Fourth ward of Waterloo. The
proposition to sell the names to bust
ness firms that advertise by circulars
or do mail order business has not been
discussed to any extent. 1t is believed
the lists could be sold for a large sum
of money. Undoubtedly, however, there
will be some persons who will object
to having their mail flooded with cir
culars for hair restorers and patent
devices of every description.

The reports made to the labor COM
missioner's office show that the Jap
anese immigration to this country is
still showing a decrease over last year
whale the Russian immigration is
increasing. The total immigration to
the United States during December,
1904 was 62,762. There were debarred

crease from 10,431 to 1902, while the
Japs show a decrease from 1,1SS, to

Considerable interest is manifested
here in the press reports that j. w.
Blythe Of Iowa is coming home from
Washington believing there will be no
legislation that will hurt his railroad.
One press report says:
Several Of the prominent railroad
attorneys, including j. w. Blythe, of
the Burlington, Low, of the Santa Fe,
and Peck. of the Milwaukee, who have
been in Washington for the past six
weeks, keeping an eye on prospective
anti-railroad legislation, have returned
to their homes, confident that there
will be no legislation at this session Of
congress inimical to the railway inter-
ests. The fact that the house will
pass a railway rate bill does not cause
any uneasiness, and these attorneys,
who have made it their business to
look into the situation, have conclud-
ed that there will be no legislation that
will hurt"
