the "tabulation work should be put

afraid that figure would be reached"
w. H. Kirkman, President F. w.
Kaser J. J. Schiffner and other mem
bers of the club, spoke In similar
terms. all being convinced that the
former census was frost and that
the figures secured We're far from be-
ing correct. Mr.. Mills plan was not
gone into in detail last night, but the
interest of the club was aroused and,
as the census must be taken in ac-
cordance with the state law which
provides that the city council must
appoint the enumerators, it is more
than probable that the question or
another census will be brought before
that body in the not far-dlstant future.
The main object In securing a popu-
lation of 10000 is that the commission
form of government, In case IL is SO
desired may be put into effect here.
The committee appointed by the CLUB

formally adopted by the club. Accord

Honor Memory
of Ex-preSident

MADRID, Oct. 10.-Despite the pro-
tests of the monarchistS and clericals,
Madrid was today the scene Of a re-
publican demonstration in honor of
the late D. Nicholas Salmeron, former
president of the ill-fated Spanish re-
public, who died at Pau, France on
September 81 at thei age of 20. The
memorial was in charge Of the Spanish
Freethought federation, and eulogies
on the dead statesman were delivered
by some of the most prominent liter
airy men of Spain. Some of the speak
ers declared that the republican move
ment, in which Salmeron was a lead
er, will yet grow sufficiently strong to
permanent republic in the land now
ruled by Alfonso and Victoria.
The late DR.. Salmeron was a leader
in the Cortes when the revolution Of
Amadeus, the Italian prince. the SOW
1868 dethroned Isabella and made
erign of Spain. When Amadeus was
expelled in 1873 and a republican pro-
visional government was formed the
portfolio of justice was confided to
Salmeron. In June, 1878, he was chosen
president of the COrtes. In July, Piny
Margal having given up the, position
of chief executive, the Cortes chose
Salmeron to fill it. He took Office July
10, himself federal republican, and
pledged his best efforts to put down
both of the extreme factions which
threatened the state. His energetic
measures soon checked both the Car
lists and the extreme republican fac
rtion. He resigned in September be-
cause the Cortes refused to abolish the
death penalty for military offenses and
he would not sign death warrants.
Castelar, succeeded him and he was
again chosen President of the, Cortes
serving until the coup d'etat Of Janu
ary 8, 1874, which brought Alfonso XII
to the throne. While in exile in Portu
gal, Salmeron, through the machina-
tions of the Spanish minister, Canovas,
his reactionary enemy, was ordered to
leave, that country within twenty four
hours and fled to Paris. He retained
as his friends the university students
of Spain and as comrades the univer
sity professors. Among his loyal
friends We're the most eminent teach
ers. the great lawyers, the merchants
and capitalists of his native land.

perusal Of those who desire to make

The initiation fee was set at $7,50,
and the dues will be 81 a month. un
less amended bylaws are finally adop-
ted. Considerable discussion will
doubtless result from the question Of
dues. as some members of the club feel
that more effective work can be done
with 400 members at $3.50 a month
than with 300 members at 81 month.
While some discussion was indulged
in last night, the whole question was
laid over to the adjourned meeting.

be given over to the important ques-
ton.

the selections for the afternoon, and
the Fourteenth cavalry band to have

fair management.
Live Stock Show
Perhaps the one biggest feature of
the whole event, aside from the rae

to be given in the new stables at the
west end of the grounds. While all of
the animals have not yet arrived in

WHITMAN PLAYS
HER FIRST GAME

Whitman college is playing her first
game of football this afternoon on An
keny field the Eastern Oregon Normal
school, of Weston, being the opposing
team. The game was called at 2:30
and time had not been called at $3.50
on the last half.
AS Whitman is trying out so many
men, the lineup could not be obtained.
For this reason, the score will not be
as large against the Normalites as it
otherwise would. Whitman will prob
ably win however, by a safe margin.

any were to be found, pointed to a
sweeping democratic victory. Mr.. Cot

he has spoke since the campaign

attendance, and without exception the
rallies have been all that could have
been desired.
