been identified with the county for
four years, having interests at Os-

In an interview with News repre-

lowing to say in reference TO the pol
icy that he will pursue during his
term as county commissioner:
During my term of Office | will

of the present board are all in favor
of making an up TO date hospital out
of the old court house, and We will
see that it is kept in good shape.
Good roads throughout the county

no reason why a county with the rev.

RAILROAD STRIKES THE TRAIL
OF MERCHANTS WHO HAVE
DEMANDED ITS BOOKS AND
ALSO LOWER RATES.

CARSON. Jan. 6.-Peter Finley
Dunno. attorney for the Southern
Pacific. has filed request with the
state railroad commission for per-
mission to examine the books OF mer-
chants and shippers in Reno or else
where in Nevada.
At first blush il looks like joke
but the argument is that the railroad
company having allowed an eXamlna-
ton of its books is entitled to the
same privilege. and Commissioner
Thurtell thinks il would be good
thing for the commission and for the
fight now being made for terminal
rate point in Nevada. The commits
sion will discuss the request and
take the action necessary in the
matter
Secretary Walker and Mr.. McCnne
have finished their examination of
the railroad books. where Secretary
Walkers knowledge of the books and
accounts of the Reno Office stood the
examiners in good stead 1t will take
many days TO work up the notes and
tabulate the data. which includes
the business for 1908 for carload lots
and for four months in detail OF less

TELLS Of WORK
Of CENSUS

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Jan. -
DR.. Joseph \. Hill. chief of tn div
ision of revision and results in the
United States census Office discussed
the Use of Census Materials in Am
eriean Economic and Social His
tory. prefacing his remarks with a
brief historical sketch of the widen
ing scope of information gathered
by the census population.
The original purpose of the cen
sus' DR.. Hill said was purely po-
litical. Account of population was
an essential feature of the form of
government which the fathers es-
tablished, since population was to be
the basis of the apportionment of
representatives and direct taxes
among the several states. The CEN
sus of 1880 marks the introduction
of the present method of recording
the facts for each individual separa-
tely, and changes since then in the
scope of the population census have
consisted in the addition or rejection
of detail.
DR.. Hill pointed out as a valuable
contribution 10 the social history of
the country, the work now under
taken of publishing the names of
heads of families enumerated in the
first census t1790,) and on the basis
OF these names to classify the popu-
lation by origin, race or stock.
"A class OF data on the census
schedules, as yet only partially ex-
plotted, is that relating TO the family.
The difference between the native
| American and the immigrant, as re-
CARDS size OF families, has never
been enthusiastically determined. The

GREAT VICTORY
FOR BROWNIES
CLEAN SWEEP FOR THE TEAM AT
ROCKPORT.
Fine Exhibition of Baseball in Three
Game Series, Two Shut-Outs Be-
ing Administered to Rockport.
First Game a Pitchers Battle.

Special to The Herald:
Rockport, Texas, Aug. 12.-In a
double-header game yesterday after
noon, the Brownies succeeded in de-
feating the Rockport team in both
games. The first resulted in a score
of to 0 in favor of the Brownies,
and the second in a score of to
also in their favor Cochran, who
pitched the first game for the Brown
les, was too much for the locals.
Wicks, who pitched the second game
for the Brownies, also proved too
much for the locals. They could not
score at all in the first, and in the
second made only one run the only
run that they have been able to make
against the Brownies in the series.
Fox, the slab artist for the locals, in
the first game, is considered one of
the best twirlers in the Gulf Coast
country, but he was not Foxy enough
for the willy Brownies. They soon
"sabed" his zigzags and twisters and
gave the fielders of the home team
plenty to occupy their attention.
Sheldon, an acquisition from West
Texas Military Academy, pitched the
second game for the locals and made
it a little more interesting for the
Brownies, allowing them fewer hits
and only four runs. Griffith, who
caught for the Brownies, and Picton,
the local back stop, both caught ex-
cellent games.
The first game of the series, play
ed here on Tuesday, and which re-
suited in a victory for the Brownies
by a score of 2 to 2. was one of the
most sensational and unusual games
ever played in South Texas. The
feature of the game was the wonder
full pitching of Little Buster" Brown
for the Brownies, and Hanks for
Rockport Neither pitcher allowed
his opponent a single hit, the Blown
les making both of their scores on
errors.
