CENSUS OFFICIAL HEARS
TACOMA PROTESTANTS
Director States He Will Not Be
Surprised if Recount Is
Ordered

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.--Census
Director Durand after listening today
to protests made by a committe rep
resenting Tacoma, Wash. against the
bureaus population figures for that
city, said he would not be surprised
if a recount were ordered"
Secretary Nagel of the department
of commerce and labor and Director
Durand received the committee from
Tacoma which came here to protest
against the charges that the Tacoma
census, a staken originally by the
government enumerators was largely
padded. AS a result of disclosures
concerning the manner of taking the
Tacoma census, Washington officials
of the bureau ordered an investigation
in September with a consequent re-
duction in the aggregate population
figures of that city. The meeting to-
day was merely preliminary and the
only result was an agreement to pro-
coed with the inquiry tomorrow.
The committee made certain repre-
sensations that the September count
was inaccurate and unfair and asked
that if necessary a third count be
made.
Secretary Nagel stated that he had no
doubt that the original returns from
the April count had been padded, but
he conceded the probability that many
of the citizens were absent when the
census bureau made its second count
in September.
At tomorrows meeting the census
returns will be gone into thoroughly.

UMATILLA ARRIVES FROM
NOME WITH S25O,O00
Exodus from Alaska Gold Camp
Marks End of Its Met
eoric History

SEATTLE, Oct. 26.-The steamship
Umatilla arrived from Nome today
with 511 passengers and $3.50, 900 in bull
lion and will be followed closely by the
steamships Victoria and Northwestern,
each carrying gold and a heavy pas
senger list.
The exodus from Nome marks the
end of the romantic period of the IA
nous gold camps history. In the sum-
mer of 1900 10000 persons were assem-
bled on the beach at Nome, whose
sands were rich in gold dust. The
camp has yielded $40, 900, 900 in gold and
will still produce much more than that,
but the rich dirt that could be worked
by hand has been washed and the
mining henceforth will be done by
dredgers owned by large corporations.
Estimates of the number of persons
now in Nome range from 1000 to 1900.
There are nearly $500 men in the In
noko and Iditarod districts and several
hundred in the diggings north of Nome.
These are still poor mems camps,
but Nome has gone the way of the
Klondike and will transform no more
laborers into millionaires.
