" was recalled one evening not long
ago at the Wickiup that the affair with
Sinclair had all taken place within
period Of two years, and that practical
~ all of the actors in the event had
been together and in friendly relation
on Thanksgiving day at the Cumming
ranch not so very long before the trou-
BILE began. Dicksie Cunning was away
at school at the time, and Lance Dun
ming was celebrating with n riding acd
shooting fest and a barbecue.
The whole country had been invited.
Bucks was in the mountains on an in
spection trip and Bill Dancing drove
him with a party OF railroad men over
from Medicine Bend. The mountain
men for $50 miles around were out.
Gene and Bob Johnson, from Oroville
and the Peace river, had come with
their friends. From Williams Cache
there was not only a big delegation
more of one than was really desirable
but 1t was led by old John Rebstock
himself When the invitation Is gen
eral, lines cannot be too closely drawn.
Not only was Lance Cunning some
thing of sport himself. but on the
Long Range 1t is part of stockman' S
creed to be on good terms with his
neighbors. At Thanksgiving day bar
becue not even mountain sheriff
would ask questions, and Ed Banks,
though present respected the holiday
truce. Cowboys rode that day In the
roping contest who were from Mission
creek and from Two Feather river.
Among the railroad people were
George McCloud, Anderson, the assis-
tant Superintendent, Farrell Kennedy.

THE CENSUS OF 1e1o.

(From the Montpelier Journa!)
With the approach OF the decenniai
period when the population OF this coun.
try is to be enumerated. Vermont natural.
ly begins to speculate as to the results
which the census will show in this State
The population returned for Vermont In
1900 was 34s,e4l. a gain Of 12s In II
years. While no phenomenal increase Il
to be hoped that the gain Will be at least
as great as II was IN the last decade.
The growth has been chiefly in a few
large towns and cities.
The population OF Montpelier was ~
in 1900. 1t Is conservative estimate that
places the figures for this city at S.50e
and II Is hoped that they will 20 even
higher
The popula ion OF Barre city 10 year,
ago was s.44s. and OF Barre town 33>e,
The increase In this important center Of
the granite industry has been large. Bur.
linston. which had a population Of 1854
in 1900. will show substantial gain, as
will most Of the other leading towns and
cities. The decrease in the population
OF the agricultural regions should be
smaller than during the previous decade,
owing 70 the better prices farm and
dairy products have commanded during
the past few years which might natural.
ly be expected TO check ths exodus q
the cities or TO more alluring regions in
the West
The matter Of the apportionment Of Statt
senator's will be Of general interest, -
It is based on population. In 1870 Rut-
lard was the most populous county, con-
tanning 1900 persons. which entitled II
10 four senators. Chittenden ranked
second, with . population Of %. eon, and
Washington third. with $500. 1t 10 alto
gether probable that next year Washing
ton will change places with Chittenden.
and II would not be strange II Washing
ton took first place, thus gaining from
Rutland an extra senator. This county.
in all proba bility. will show the greatest
relative gain Of any IN the State. owing
in considerable degree to the great de-
velopment OF the granite industry.
Great care should be taken that eficient
enumerators be appointed IN order to
avoid any suspicion Of accuracy OF the
count Neither politics nor favorttisrn
should enter into the choice Of the agents
for this important work.
The State supervisor should be q man
capable Of handling large enterprises
and familiar with the handling OF mul.
titude OF details. In other words It ought
not TO be necessary entirely to educate
the supervisor as the work progresses.
