authority properly equipped to MAIZE
them, is the census office, which devotes
a large part of it's work to the study OF
population and it's movement. l be-

calculation, for intercensal years, upon
the census estimates of population. 1t

WAR ON CANNON.
Federation of Labor Will Try to De-
feat Him for Speaker.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Copies of a
proclamation addressed to "all or
ganized labor" and designed to defeat
the election of JOS. G.. Cannon as
speaker of the house of representa-
tatives of the Sixtieth congress has
been sent to the trades unions in every
section of the country. The proclama-
ton is signed by Samuel Gompers
president and attested by other Of
fieers of the American Federation of
Labor.
The short comings of Speaker Can
non during the three congresses he
has served in that position as charged
in this proclamation are set forth at
length and each instance where by
his vote ruling he has acted in a
way that seemed inimical to the in

Chief of these is cited his action in

A JIM CROW RULING.
Oklahoma Roads Must Supply Sepa-
rate Coaches for NEGROES.

Guthrie. Ok, Nov. 27.-All articles of in
corporation and applications are being

tary of state, except on the commission
approval. 1t developed that great many
applications have been turned down by
the commission within the past few days,
among them being several railroads.
The corporation board has issued an or
der citing officials of the Santa Fe to ap-
pear in December to show cause why bet
ter depot accommodations should not be
provided in Woodward county. The re-
ciprocal demurrage law was adopted by
the commission and will be published dur
ing the coming week.
Commissioner A. P. Watson has pre-
pared a "Jim Crow bill provision, which
is now in the hands of Attorney General
West for approval and states it will be
put in force in Oklahoma until the legis-
lature makes further provision. 1t re-

fair question, which hope can sat
isfactorily answer. The estimates are
required and demanded for a great va
r1ety of reasons. The annual death rate
in American cities can only be conf
puted on the basis of an estimated
population in the absence of an actual
enumeration. 1t is so computed in all
the European countries, where the in
tercensal population estimates are
shown to be no closer to absolute ac-
curacy than our own. These munich
pal death rates are of vital value, in
maintaining sanitary conditions and
protecting the public health. A varia-
ton of 10 per cent more or less in
absolute accuracy, does not impair
their practical value in any appreciable
degree.
per capita taxation from year to
year can only be computed by utilizing
these estimates. These are but illus
trations of the thousand and one uses
to which the estimates are put, and of
the actual business necessity which ex
lists for making them. Since they must
be made, it is obvious that they ought
to be made by one authority, and be

trary rule of census estimating will
show a population much too small For
instance, by the census method of esti-
mating, the population of the new state
of Oklahoma was 1,162, 609 BY the act
ual census taken of June 1, 1907 the
population of the state was 1,414,177.
These hundreds of thousands of peo-

from other parts of the Union. They
have reduced the population of other
states, while increasing that of Okla

AT ST. LOUIS APRIL 2.
Populists Fix Time and Place of Ma
tionaI Convention.

st. Louis. Nov 27.-After protracted
balloting and consideration of the mer-
it's of several cities, the national COM
mittee of the Peoples party selected
ST. Louis as the place for the national
nominating convention and set April
as the date for the gathering. Kansas
City. Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis
and Oklahoma City were discussed. Be
side disposing of the conventlon the
committee prepared an address to the
voters of the country which was issued
and in which the leading figures" OF
the older parties are .compl1mented 1or
taking up Populistie teachings ana are
welcomed as converts. The business
of the meeting was practically compile
ted. The address says:
sixteen years ago the Peoples party
in it's first national convention pointed
out the defects in our financial system
and their remedies. Through good and
evil report we have never swerVed from
the advocacy of those fundamental
truths. We have believed them and
still believe them, necessary TO the
salvation of the country. ..s.s.. .--
Money, land and transportation
these constituted the original trinity OF
reform held aloft by the peoples con-
vention at Omaha; an adequate cur
rency issued directly by the govern
ment and not redeemable in any other
kind of money; land held for actual
settlers and not subject to speculation
and alien ownership; railroads ana tel
egraphs owned and operated by the
government. ss-
ITO these three cardinal principles
were added direct legislation through
the initiative and referendum, the re-
call and proportional representation;
popular election Of the president, vice
president, senators and federal judges.
Postal savings banks and the parcels
post; and the right of labor to organ
ize to demand a shorter day and to in
sist on a fair and just share of the
products of it's own toll.

A LARGE PRE-OOOLING PLANT.
VIII Be Built by Santa Fe at San

of Santa F'e icing, preceding and
go, manager of the Santa Fe refriger-
travelling representative of the dis
superintendent of Santa Fe ice and
preceding plants construction; ac-
companied by General Agent w. r.
Dowler of San Bernardino; yesterday
afternoon went over the site for the
improved icing plant here on the
freight cutoff southwest of town, and
last night gave out a synopsis of the
building plans
The enlarged plant will cost approx
imately $325,000, and will include the
present smaller plant now operated
near the county hospital This latter
will be moved to the new site at once,
and used for fruit packing this winter,
as 1t will be next to impossible to COM
plete the big pre-cooler in time to
handle any part of the orange crop of
this season.
The enlarged plant will have ca
pacity of 225 tons of ice, and a daily
capacity of $50 cars. Its storage ca
pacity will be not less than 500 cars
of fruit.
The storage capacity of the combir-
ed ice houses will be 10000 tons The
building for the new ice factory will
be 10Ox1S0 feet in size. The ice stor-
age building will be 100x370 feet in
size. The preceding plant will be

FRUIT RUSH is ON.
Santa Fe Will Handle Big Shipments
From California.

from OStlllOfI1a.
The Santa Fe will get her share of
this year. if present indications are
any criterion. The road has made ar
rangements for a large number of cars
which are being held in the fruit belt
ready for immediate use, and these
are of the latest and most approved
type, being especially adapted to the
handling of an immense amount of
boxed and Grated fruit in a manner
which insures it's arrival at the desti-
nation a thousand or two thousand
miles away in perfect condition.
Oranges and lemons are being
Grated by the millions in California
and it is stated that the crop is equal
to that of former years. The Southern
Pacific has usually held the majority of
the fruit shipments for its own lines,
but the Santa Fe this year is out after
game and proposes to have all that Is
coming it's way. This means that there
will be solid train loads of oranges and
lemons rushing eastward over the San
ia Fe in a short time.
The Santa Fe has always kept its
refrigerator and fruit despatch cars in
the best of shape and it has given such
service heretofore to the California
shippers that it will undoubtedly be
able to capture large per cent of the
fruit this winter.
Statements from the Golden state
are that the crop is at its best this
year and that the only thing that is
holding back shipments is the lack of
labor. Every available person, man,
woman or child, is being pressed into
service in the effort to get the huge
crop out of the state and exchanged
for gold.
Another feature of the business this
year will be increased shipments of
meat via the Santa Fe from Chicago
and Kansas City to New Mexico, the
southwest and California. Contracts
are now being made for these ship
ments.

OF the Boston exchange and it now
seems that the end is not yet North
Butte has entirely passed it's regular

North Butte has been considered one
of the strongest copper properties in
the country this again is significant
and its effect far reaching. As a. mat
ter of fact North Butte directors are
being severely criticised for their ac-

that they have watched the stock mar

Railroad Commission Are i'm the
City.


Railroad Commissioners Aitchlson
and West came up from Portland to-
day. and are understood to be still
undecided as to the proper person
for secretary of the commission.
Campbell says he has
no candidate, hut wants the COM
mission to take plenty of time to
find the right kind of a man. IL Is
understood that the governor con-
siders the commission would have
been stronger II there had been
man on II OF first-class, all-round
experience as traffic man with
railroad experience. He would have
appointed one such man had the
commission been left TO him to ap-
point. The governor now thinks the
commission would be stronger II the
secretary were railroad man OF
railroad experience, with a knowl-
edge OF rates and operation OF traf-
fic in general. The rate-making
function itself Is one of the hardest
problems before the commission.
