MORAL STATISTICS SHOW
 UP WELL IN CENSUS

WASHINGTON, September 29.-- MuckraheTs who seem to be preparing to assail the churches, will find little material" and less inspiration in the religious census recently completed by the census bureau. The report brings its statistics to the close of 1906, the last previous census of the same Kind having been made in 1890. During the sixteen years, the population of the continental United States increased 33s per cent; but in the number of com munieants or church members there was an increase of GOA per cent; in the number of church cdifces, an increase of 35.3 per cent; and in the value of church property an increase of S5.1 per cent. In 1890 the reported church mem bership represented 32.7 per cent of the total population, in 1906, 391 per cent The proportion of ministers to churches is larger now than in 1890, indicating that churches are more ade- quately served than they formerly were and suggests that the ministry is by no means decadent calling.

CITY ID BEGIN
 GRADING WORK COUNCIL WILL PLAN TONIGHT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF MES
 QUITE AND CEDAR
PROPERTY OWNERS CONCUR
EXPENSE TO BE COVERED BY AS EASEMENTS OTHER MAT
 TIERS COMING UP

At tonight's meeting of the city coun- cil, it is probable that the city fathers will take the matter of grading Mes quite and Cedar streets into their own hands and proceed to make ar rangeinents for letting a contract for this work.
 When an ordinance was passed some time ago, calling for the improvement of the two streets, the property owners affected were given ninety days in which to complete this work The time has elapsed and the city will now take hand in the grading project.
 This action will meet with the ap- proval of the interested property hold CTS, as it was for the purpose of having the grading done by the city that the required time was allowed to expire without any work being done. The gen. eral feeling that the work could be done better and with less chance for legal entanglements by the city than by the property holders was responsible for their action.
