COUNTING THE FOLKS.
Enumeration Cox Has Quizzed Seven
teen Hundred People.


Mr.. w. R. Cox, who was EMPLOYED
by the council to take a census of
Dawson, began the work of. enum-
Grafton last Tuesday, and during the
week ending Monday night had
counted 100 people.
The form used in the enumeration
is short, containing only the date,
four questions and a blank for the
signature of the enumerator. The
four things desired to be known of
the citizen are:
Racer" ''Name?" "Age?" 'Sex?''
That's all. And when these cues
lions are answered Mr.. Cox signs his
name beneath them and moves on
to insert the probe in some other
Dawsonian.
AS stated heretofore, the census is
being taken by the council at the
expense of the gentlemen who are
interested in organizing a lodge of
the Elks in Dawson, it being neces-
sary to show a population of 5000
before a charter will be granted by
the supreme lodge for a local branch
OF the order. Under the constitution
and bylaws of the Elks a lodge can
not be instituted in towns of less
than 5000 inhabitants.

In the name of that Christ let us
either change the name of the annual

We refer most especially to that
time-honored custom of serving the
annual egg-nog on the 25th of De-
cember of all other days. If this
stun 'biteth like a serpent and sting

either offer or accept it on this our

DR.. M'FERRIN'S FIRST SERMON
Despite the Inclement Weather q
Fair-Sized Congregation Greeted
Methodists' New Pastor.

MethOdiStS' New Pastor.
Sunday in Dawson was just the
sort of day to make one SILVER at the
thought of getting away from a good
fire, but despite the cold drilling
rain a goOdly number of church-gOers
braved the elements to greet the
new pastor of the Methodist church,
Dr. J. P. McFerrin, who arrived the
past week from Columbus, where he
had been for sometime the popular
pastor at St. Luke's. Dr. McFerrin
is widely known as one of the most
scholarly men of southern Method
ism, and is a genial christian gentle
man, force for righteousness in any
community fortunate enough to claim
him as a citizen. His first sermon
in Dawson was heard with great in
terest and pleasure, and it is mat
ter of regret that so few had the
privilege of attending the service.
After appropriate music by the choir
DR.. McFerrin, without any prelimina-
ries, announced as his text the eighth
verse of the first chapter of First
4 vi llOLA yo0
ed out the word OF the LORD. not
only in Macedonia and Achaia, but
also in every place your faith to God
ward is spread abroad; so that we
need not to speak anything" He dis
cussed the theme in an expository
way, making very plain the teach
ings of the scripture that men are to
be turned from the error of their
ways not by eloquent appeals or
fierce denunciations. but by the per-
suasive influence of Cody lives; not
a cold formal declaration of faith,
but a life lived so that the world
may feel the force and the power of
the truth. BY following the teach
ings of the Bible we find all the
light We need to lead us Alright, and
the Sword of of the spirit is sufti-
cient to break down the countless
issues that bewilder with their false
teachings

sion, and there was great disappoint-
ment that the ugly weather made 1t
necessary to call off the night SER

imam ten thousand acres of pecan
trees in the state, and their OUTPUT
IS worth hundreds of thousands OF
dollars. 1t has been estimated that
a pecan orchard will net 5000 per
acre year in its maturity, and it's
lifetime is quite long. The industry
is IN its infancy yet in Georgia, but
1t IS growing in a most encouraging

There are number of orchards

AN ARRAY OF SPLENDOR.
A Pageant of Spectacular Glory at
Hagcnbeck- Wallace Shows.

The circus parade having become
an honored institution with the pub
lie, and the event looked forward to
with keen interest, the great Hagen
beck-Wallace Shows, which exhibit
here July 16, have not abandoned a
feature so essential to complete real
ization of all circus day calls for and
promises. Rather, there has been
greater effort than ever before TO
make the pageant of the present sea-
son more inspiringly beautiful and
novel than those that have gone be-
fore. With complete reconstruction
and enlargement of the Hagenbeck-
Wallace Shows the task became COM
paratively easy, merely calling for a
financial outlay in proportion to that
in other departments. The thou
sand people and four hundred horses
were sufficient in number, but the
demands of the parade designers were
for new floats, dens cages, lairs, tab
leau cars, band vehicles, chariots and
new costumes and trappings through
out. An appropriation amounting to
small fortune was called for and
made. Artists who have made spe-
cialty of festival decoration designed
the many new wagons, directed their
construction and personally worked
out the splendid color schemes. Ex-
pert costumers designed and con-
structed the variegated uniforms ana
regalia, using the richest clothes and
finest materials. The clothes of gold
and silver and the howdahs with
which the elephants are covered and
bedecked are in ordiental design and
architecture and rich in coloring be-
yond description. The filigreed trap
pings of the horses and their bejew-
eled brides and headdresses are tri-
umphs of the art of the harness MAX
er and silversmith.

Attention at A. Y. p. +.

Seattle, July 12.-One of the most
interesting exhibits to be found at the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition is in
the fisheries building and is the coll
lection of fishes imported from the
Hawaiian Islands. There are no less
than one hundred of these finny spe-
cimens of almost every conceivable
size, shape, form and color imagi-
nable. Some are black and yellow,
others a pale green while some are
tri-colored with specks and stripes
resembling an American flag.
Their tints are as gorgeous as the
rainbok and as. radiant as a butter
fly. Their shapes are odd in the ex-
treme Some have the head of an
ant-eater, others are more than half
head with eyes in the top of the back.
one particular variety have more the
appearance of butterflies than fish
and move about as gracefully as a
sunbeam upon a wave. This is the
first importation Of live fish ever ta-
ken from the Hawaiian Islands and

sands Of visitors to lnger about the

tine beauty in wonder and amaze

TRIPLETS ARE BORN
AND FATHER FAINTS

New York, July 12.-Triplets were
born in New York yesterday, but they
brought no rejoicing to the humble
little home to which the stork car
ried them. They came to a family
which already numbered seven, and
the only means whereby the 10
mouths are fed is the meager wage
of SO a week earned by the father.
Mrs. Rachel Flat is the mother of
the three mites. Her husband has
charge of laundry delivery station,
and in two stuffy, poorly furnished
rooms he struggles to keep his fam
lily together.
When the father was first informed
that there were two new babies in his
home he rushed into the street in a
hysterical condition, and 1t took half
an hour to calm him. When he re-
entered the room and was told he
was not only doubly, but trebly, a
father, he collapsed in a faint.

ROCKEFELLER GIVES TEN
MILLIONS TO EDUCATION

New York, July 12.-John d. Rock
efeller has increased his donations to
the general education board by a gift
of S10,0O0,000 and also released the
board from the obligation to hold in
perpetuity the funds contributed by
him.
The gift brings Mr.. Rockefeller's
donations to the general education
beard to $52, 100000 1t was contrib
utter according to Chairman Gates of
the board because the income avail
able for appropriation had been ex-
hausted and larger income to meet
important educational needs had be-
come necessary.
Mr.. Rockefeller's action empower
ing the board and its successors to
distribute the principal OF funds cen
tributed by him upon the affirmative
vote Of two-thirds of its members is
said to have been taken in consider
alton OF the possibility, now remote,
that at some future time the purpose
of the Rockefeller foundation might
become absolute.
Since the inception of its founda-
ton for higher education in 1905, the
general education board has sub
scribed to the colleges of this country
$S,9S7000. The colleges to which
these subscriptions have been made
are to raise supplemental sums am
ounting to $14,037500.
Thus far but one institution has
failed to raise the supplemental fund
required by the terms of the boards
pledge.

has reduced the amount per acre but
the high price caused a slight increase
in acreage and present conditions in
dicate an outturn Of 2,25O,000 bush
els. In the remainder OF the state,
wheat growing is almost exclusively
for home consumption, but will help
to swell the total for the state to
approximately 100000 bushels.
Washington Reports Good.
Washington reports are uniformly
good. Walla Walla, with its never
falling foothill land, promises an out
turn Of 100000 bushels. 1t is an
exceptionally poor year when this IA
nous wheat county cannot show some
6O-bushel yields, and they are in evil
dence this year, although there are
also some poor yields on the light
lands. Barley is also turning off well
in this county, and has made some in
roads on the wheat acreage.
Columbia and Garfield counties are
both expected to turn off record yields
of wheat and barley. This region
was favored with rain at time when
the river counties in Oregon were
missed. Columbia will turn out about
100000 bushels of wheat, and fully
as much barley, with Garfield not far
behind. Some estimates credit CO.
lumbia county with 100000 bushels,
but the latter figure will hardly be
reached.
Whitman, the banner wheat coun-
ty in all the northwest, gives excel
lent promise Of breaking records. The
acreage is large and the crop condl-
tions are far above the average. Estl
mates run from 100000 to 49,
100000 bushels, the latter being gem
orally regarded as too high, while o.
100000 bushels is regarded as con-
servatlve. Whitman county has been
steadily drifting away from wheat
growing exclusively and this year
nearly one third of the grain acreage
is in oats and barley. the yield of
these grains being estimated at near
ly 100000 bushels. The Whitman
county crop Is nearly ready for har-
vest, and binders will begin work next
week, while 1t Is expected that the
will be in operation in ten
days.
