for on the republican ticket. For judge,
as previously mentioned, there are sew

Inaccurate Figures

The claim is made that figures
from 1905 will show a decrease
in popu alton in Oregon-less
even than in 1900. eommene-
ing on this matter, the Telegram
says: t..
According to county assessors
returns already exmined the
total population of Oregon will be
will be less than that given by
the Federal census of 1900.
In many instances the returns
show on their faces that no at
tempt was made at accuracy, and
this lack of care is of such a
ature that SCI retary OF State
Dunbar will hardly be able to
compete the tabulation of the
state census of 1905 until some
time this Fall, possibly not before
next Winter.
There was no appropriations
made to provide extra help to do
this work, consequently it must
De done by the regular Office
force. The primary and general
elections furnish all the work
the employees of the Office can
handle for some time to come.
1t will be necessary to work
over time to tabulate the returns
of the primary election, and to
get the official ballot out for the
June election.
The census returns taken by
the assessor in many Instances
were not properly extended. 1t
will be necessary to go over all
the papers and check them up,
slow and tedious process.
With the present help, it will re-
quire weeks, and possibly months,
to tabulate the returns properly.

BASKETBALL REVIEW.
Season Ends With Championship
at OAC.

Season Ends With Championship
at OAC.
The closing of the second term
of school marks the end of the
basketball season and never BE-.
fore in the history of sports al
lOAC did team close the season
with such a splendid record be-
hind them. By system OF
clean honorable playing, Captain
Gates bunch have been able to
bring the state championship tc
the college on the hill.
During the previous seasons
there had been some doubt as to
the real championship team, but
this year there can be no mis-
understanding. OAC has not
only defeated every other team.
but in the return games the
orange were always victors. The
Farmers won every game on the
schedule which gives them the
title CT champions.
Besides winning from all the
strong teams in Oregon, the boys
defeated two of the best teams in
the United States. The Red
Men of Minnesota, who claimed
a championship record, were
taken into camp at lively rate.
A few weeks after this a tremen-
dous crowd filled the Armory to
witness the game between the
Meteors from Chicago and the
locals. This was one of the best
games ever played at OAC. The
visiting team played superb bail,
but were unable to defeat the
locals. In winning this game
the OAC team demonstrated that
they play winning ball.
BY defeating the Chicago ag-
gregation with ease they practi-
cally won the championship of
the West. Although that team
has been defeated, they probably
were the strongest bunch of play
ers west of the Mississippi.
1t was not deemed necessary
by the management to bind this
star team ina written contract
not to defeat OAC more than ten
points; on the contrary, before
the game closed it appel red that
such action might have been in
place had the other team made
such restrictions on OAC.
The fact that every member of
the team is a regular student,
doing good work in school, and
taking the regular number of
hours prescribed and passing in
them, makes their triumph
unique. It is season of victories
which may be appreciated by the
OAC students, and a season
which will long be remembered
in the annals of basket ball
history. The year 'oo in basket
ball will be paralleled only by
the days of "Pap Hayseed" on
the gridiron.
There is some talk of taking
this team on tour next season.
Whether this be carried out or
not we may rest assured that the
boys could play the game with
any team in the United States
and bring back the same trophy
With Swan and Reed, the
heavy weights, as forwards, OAC
had a couple of men that never
met their equals. Captain Gale
at center was always star, and
he handled his man with ease.
The guards, Rooper and Bilyeu,
received only compliments from
every crowd they played before.
The following is a list of games
with the scores:

LIKELY TO COME HERE.

The ship Arthur Sewall. expected
here daily from Manila, may have
aboard as one OF her officers a man
who achieved considerable notoriety in
Manila recently. He is John Bergstein,
former mate OF the ship Henry Willard.
The authorities endeavored to "deport"
Bergstein and he made an effort to Sc
cure a berth on the Sewal.. The Ma
Mia Times says of the case:
This morning John Bergstein, the
former mate of the American bark
Henry Willard, who is being ''dcported"
by Insular Collector OF Customs and
United States Consul w. Morgan
Shuster to a United States port, on the
transport Sherman. to answer charges
filed against him In Seattle with regard
to his conduct on board the Henry
Willard on her trip to the Philippines,
appeared In the Court OF First Instance
before Judge Crossiield, with Attorney
Wolfson praying for a writ of habeas
corpus.
Mr.. Wolfson contended on behalf of
Bergs tein that the Collector of Customs
as United States Consul had refucrd
to allow Bergstein to leave the islands
on the Arthur Sewall a sailing ship
on which he had secured a berth.
Mr. Shuster replied to the petition
stating that he. acting as United
States Consul. had taken petitioner Off
the Henry Willard. but that he had not
deprived him of his liberty and that
he could leave at any time.
Judge Crossfield denied the writ on
these grounds. as the man was no.
incarcerated.
Bergstcin. II viii be remembered. was
taken on the Henry Willard by Collect
or Shuster after the latter had thor
oughly Investigated charges brought
against Bergstein by members OF the
crew. II was said that he treated them
cruelty and had assaulted and grossly
insulted the stewardess OF the ship.
Bergstein claims that Mr., shpster
threatened 10 have him forcibly detain-
ed ana put Ia irons, II necessary. II he
tried 10 leave Manila ON the Arthur
