WON'T|NCREASE
NUMBER IN
CONGRESS
But Washington Will Get
Two More-Some States
Will Lose a Few.
(ey United Press Leased Wlre)

(By United Press Leased Wlre)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The
United States census just an
nounced will not increase the num-
bers of the house of representa-
tives, if plan fathered by Speaker
Cannon and said to have the back
ing OF large majority of the house,
is put through. Instead, some
states will gain congressman,
while others will lose them.
According to the new plan the
ratio of representation will be in.
creased. 1t is now 194,182 to one
congressman. Cannon has figured
out that 235,223 to each congress
man would give each state its prop
er representation without making
the house any more unwieldly thar
1t now is.
Z. If such an apportionment were
made. the following states would
gain two representatives.:
New York, California, Washing
ton and Oklahoma.
The borrowing would gain one
each:
Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Montana
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Texas.
These states would lose two con
gressmen each:
Indiana, Iowa and Missouri.
The following would lose one
representative:
Illinois, Kansas, Wisconsin
Maine, Maryland, Nebraska, North
Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Vir
ginia.

No Liquor ''Ads''

he following is from the Chicago Tribune of recent date
Clinton, Mo-, Nov. 1.-[Editor of The Tribunel
Your great journal is certainly entitled to great
praise for the assistance it is giving to the revival
in progress in Chicago But greater need of
praise is due it. because close observation of the
Sunday edition failed to discover single liquor
"ad.' If this policy is continuously and persist
emily pursued, I consider it greater evidence of
clean and good journalism than the publicity
given the great revival
What would you think Mr.. Editor, if I should
come to your home every day while you and your
wife are not guard and thrust bottle of liquor
into the faces of your children and all manner
of wiles and Establishments to get them to drink the
stuff? That is just what the liquor advertisement
in family paper does. And the cleaner the paper
the more forceful is the advertisement

The of the liquor traffic may be better ap-

WATER BOARDS IN
 SESSION YESTERDAY
Estimate of Expenses of the w. U. A.
 for the Coming Year.

The council and board of governors of the. Water Users Association both held meetings yesterday as announced, that of the governors being the regu- lar monthly session. The council met in pursuance to a former adjournment to that date expecting at the time to have before it the contract which President Orme has now taken to Washington. As it has not returned an adjournment was taken to the 18th when it is expected MT. Orme and the contract will have returned. One mat ter was discussed however and that was a petition of the settlers between the old Highland canal and the new Eastern canal, for an extension of the boundaries of the reservoir district from the Highland to the Eastern, adding a strip of perhaps a half mile in width to the district. The council thought it unwise to do this now as there is now no water for these class c lands anyway and they are losing nothing by waiting. When the secre- tary of the interior makes final desig- nation of the lands to be watered the boundaries will have to be changed anyway and it vas thought better to wait and do it all at one time.
 The principal matter under cOnsid- eratiOn by the board of governors was the adoption of the estimate of ex- penses for the coming year and the ordering of their publication for the required fifteen days. The estimate as finally determined upon was as follows, the year running from August 31. 1910 to August 31. 1911:
