DESTRUCTION OF EAGLES
PAVILION NEARLY FINISHED

The old Eagles Pavilion is no
more, for with the exception of the
floor and foundation, the building
has been torn down by the con-
tractors. The work has been in
progress hardly a week, but that

fast as the structure was RACED,
wagon load after wagon load of
lumber has been carted away. The
material is being sold to those who
desire to make purchases, and some
excellent bargains have been re-
corded. Before the end of the week
the last remnants of what was once
the largest structure in the town,
will have disappeared from the site.

EAGLE WINS IN FIGHT
WITH A BULL DOG

Buck, the thoroughbred bulldog
of Tom Risch, was looking for a
scrap Wednesday when he espied the
great American eagle, which had
strayed down town from his quar-
tiers behind the fire house. From
appearances, the eagle was also on
the warpath, as it had been leading
the simple life since the engage
ment with the Englishman last
week.
The bird and dog met in frort
of the Brokers' Exchange, and with
out any preliminary talking, started
to fight. The alteration was of
but a moments duration, for at
the end of that time Buck had suf-
ficient punishment and lost no time
in beating a safe retreat. The
sharp beak of his eaglets made sew
eral pretty perforations in the hide
of the bulldog, which accounted for
his dogship surrendering.
Later the eagle was returned "a
his quarters, where he will reside
until the fighting passion becomes
too strong.

ENUMERATORS TO TAKE
CENSUS WILL TOTAL $4,000

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-United
States Census Director e. Dana Du-
rand stated today that the primary
responsibility for securing efficient
e%numerators must rest with the SUI
pervisors of the census.
1T has been suggested to me
from time to time said the direc-
tor, that more efficient enumera-
tors might be secured by compet-
tive examination open to every
'body. There is no doubt that if
the expense and time required were
not prohibitive, it would be advan-
tageous to hold such an examine
ton, although it would be neces-
sary, instead OF merely selecting
those whose ranking in the exam
nation was the highest, TO refer all
candidates who passed to the super
visor, and allow him to select those
whose personal characteristics, such
as cannot be tested by any written
examination, were most suitable.
The difficulty with such an examin-
alton is the expense and delay in
volyed. It is probable that for the
$1,000 places there would be sew
eral hundred thousand candidates,
and the grading of their papers
would require a large force for a
long time. At some future census
this plan might be worth a trial,
but it can scarcely be attempted at
the present census within the linn
its of time and appropriations set
by law.
''The census bureau does. o.
course, undertake to protect itselI
against such obviously incompetent
enumerators as the supervisors
through political influence or over
sight may happen to choose. A
the last census the e|numerators rec
commended by the supervisors wer,
