Census estimates of the popula-

show total enumeration of 49,.

non-contiguous territory, an increase
from the returns of 1900 of 1896
935, while, including Alaska and the
insular possessions, this country
numbers 93,1S2,140 people. The
gain from 1905 to 1906 Is placed at
1.367.915. indicating that the coun-
try is acquiring new population at a
rate of about 1.5 per cent annually.
When the expansion In wealth and
production of the country is taken
into consideration, there is nothing
abnormal about this rate of growth.
probably the most unh healthy feature

POLL TAX LAW
IS STILL GOOD
SAYS COLLECTOR KAUFMAN
States That Law Which Was Repeal
ed Affects Counties Alone
Work Moving.

Jack Kaufman, poll tax collector,
has been getting out after the people
since his appointment by the council
and has met with considerable sue
cess in his work. While one or two
have made slight objections to pay
ing the greater number have shown
no disposition to kick, deeming that
the tax should be paid along with
tho other taxes.
There has been q statement made
that the poll tax law had been re-
pealed by the legislature and conse-
quently is not required this year.
THAT is not true in the case OF
North Yakima" states Mr.. Kauff-
man. "The law that was repealed
is relative to. counties and anyway
does not go into effect until 1905"
"The law relative to third and
fourth class cities is not effected by
the change. While North Yakima
is first class city the legislature
holds it as third class city for some
reasons of its own and the law rela-
tive to the collection of poll tax in
that size towns still holds good"
Following is the law under which
Mr.. Kaufman is operating:
Empowering cities of the third
and fourth class to collect annual
poll tax.
An act empowering cities OF the
third and fourth class to levy and
collect an annual street poll tax ami
declaring an emergency.
Be it enacted by the legislature
Of the State Of Washington:
Section /. The city council Of
cities of the third and fourth class in
this state shall have power to i'm
pose on and collect from every male
inhabitant of such city over the age
of twenty-one years an annual street
poll tax not exceeding two dollars,
and no other road poll tax shall be
collected within the limits of such
city.
Section 2. An emergency exists
and this act shall take effect imme-
diately.
The bill was approved by the gov
ernor March 6, 1905.

WILL EFFECT
NORTH COAST
MANY THOUSANDS
Decision of State Tax Commission
Relative to Rights Of Way
Increase Valuation.

The North Coast railway, with
many miles of right of way east of
the Cascade mountains, will prob
ably he effected by the decision of
the state tax commission that rights
Of way acquired for new railroad ex-
tension will be assessed as acreage
or town lots, according to it's loca-
ton in the country or town.
1t is estimated that this decision
will increase the valuation of the
North Coast and st. Paul properties
many hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars.
Had the decision been to the con-
trary of the one announced the as
sessed valuation would have been
about 1890 per mile for unoccupiei
right of way. This would have been
an immense saving for the North
Coast, 1t is stated.
The railroads made an attempt,
for greater convenience and for saw
ing, to have the property assessed
as unoccupied right of way. The
North Coast right of way east of
here is quite extensive.
1t is stated the Milwaukee has
about $50 miles of right of way ac-
quired in this state.

WORK TOO MUCH FOR THREE
With 100000 Trees Coming Into
Country Which Must Be Person
ally inspected.

With only three deputies to do the
work of ten, horticultural Inspector
Joe Brown is having much trouble
in his work. With 100000 trees
which must be personally inspected
by an inspector before 1t Is planted,
it can be seen that the task is suffi-
cient to give the inspector some
worry. Mr.. Brown stated that he
had enough work to keep ten depu-
ties busy, but he could not get them
and consequently the work would
have to be performed with the pres
ent force. An inspector must pass
an examination before he Is quail
flied to do the work, and this fact
limits the supply. says the Spokes-
man Review. AS soon as the
new law goes into effect, inspectors
will be required to pass an examina-
ton on botany and the tests will be
more technical.
According to Mr.. Brown 275.000
trees have been planted in the cOun-
ty this spring and the work Is about
one-fourth done. The deputies are
busy looking after the spraying
Will the work Of examining trees
intended for planting falls upon Mr..
Brown. AS he closely examines
each individual plant, there IL little
room for the belief that the position
of inspector is an easy one. When
talking yesterday, he held an apple
tree which to the casual observer
appeared healthy, but the trained
eye OF the inspector saw pear blight
had settled on 1t. The upper branches
and the roots seemed to be In good
condition but small portion OF
the trunk was dead and the pres
ence of the blight could be sen by
close observation. The detection OF
a dozen trees Of this kind is suffici-
ent to pay the cost Of inspection for
an entire season, as the blight might
infect an entire orchard and ruin a
crop.

STILL SHROUDED
IN DEEP MYSTERY

The remains Of the man still lie at
Claycomb g. Anderson's undertaking
rooms, all efforts at Identification hav-
ing proved unsuccessful, but some
clues that have been discovered may
yield important results.
Several men came down from Tuttle
on the noon train today to view the
remains. While unable to identify
them, they thought it was the man
named Crawford who has been miss
ing from Tuttle for about week and
who was last seen going toward Ok
lahoma City. Facial features and
certain other marks correspond with
the description Of Crawford. The
latter lived in Tuttle but a few months
and was not very well known. He
\ mysteriously disappeared and his wife
\ left Tuttle on Sunday last.

The murder Of the unknown man
in the Frisco car Saturday evening
remains profound mystery although
the most diligent efforts are being
made by the officers to unravel it.
While those in charge Of the inves-
tigation maintain strict reticence, it
is evident from their manner that a
theory Of the case has been formed
and they are endeavoring to get the
facts to work it out That this is
true is indicated by a remark Of an Of
ficer who said "This man was not kill
ed for his money and he was not kill
ed in q fight Or fit Of anger" 1t
may be inferred that the theory il
that the man was killed by parties
who had some strong motive for want
ing to get him out Of the way. It is
intimated that some sensational de-
velopments may be expected in case
certain investigations now in progress
work out as anticipated.
Andrews, the brakeman who was
held on suspicion, was released late
yesterday afternoon, the evidence ap-
pearing insufficient to connect him
with the crime. The only persons
now in custody are the negro and
Wyche, designated by the Frisco de-
tectives, as the imam wearing a cap,
who was held by special request from
Oklahoma City, it having been report
ed that he had been seen with the mur-
dered man in Oklahoma City Satur'
day morning.
It is learned that the car in whicl
the dead man was found had stood OF
side track about two miles out o.
town at Oklahoma City, where th'
weeds are very tall and the place i
an ideal one for dark deeds. It wa
not made up as a part Of the trail
till a short time before its departure
