The Advance of The Far West

The complete census of population of all the States and Terri
tories is full of interest, but its most striking feature is the striking
exhibit of the great growth of the extreme West of this country,
including in that designation Oklahoma and the two Dakotas. The
States which more than doubled their population are all there
Oklahoma, Idaho and Washington-whle the percentages all run
high. Utah, with 349 per cent increase, is the only State in that
section whose ratio of increase is not more than double the average
for the United States.
The banner State of the Union for percentage of increase is
Washington. Oklahomas prodigious growth of $685. 64 is a per-
cenage of 1897. 1t was the first reported of all the State popula-
tons and was believed to be unapproachable until Washington, ur
announced until last Saturday, showed a gain of 22,997, which is
less than Oklahoma, but its percentage of 1904 easily leads all the
rest.
Another State which more than doubled its population in the
past decade is Idaho, whose gain is 1913. Its southern n~eighbor
Nevada, which has shown a losing OF stationary population in the
last three censuses, records an advance this year of 93.4 per cent,
and though with its S1,875 people it is still at the foot of the list
of States in point of population, the fact that it is growing holds
out hope for the future. The whole semi-arid region, of which
Nevada is a typical and extreme exhibit, shows by the census a
new awakening and new life. The percentage of increase if con-
tnued will give that section a population more nearly commensu-
rate with the degree of political power which it now exercises in the
Nation on account of it's excessive representation in the Senate as
compared with its actual population.
Oregon, which has been a State of slow growth in the past,
has an increase of 627 per cent in its population by the census
Irrigation and a %prodigious development of its fruit industry have
stimulated the growth of Oregon and all the surrounding States.
New railroads. too, arr opening up q territory and still greater
development and continued growth is hopefully and confidently
anticipated.
California's gain of 892, 496 is greater than that made by any
State in the Union, with the exception of New York and Pennsyl-
vania, and advances that State from the tw~enty-frst to the twelfth
place in point of population. Other States of the Far West are adj
vanced by this census, notably Washington; but CALIFORNIA; large
actual gain ranks it now with the dozen strongest and most
populous States of the Observation-Disclosures Press.

where the stricken district, bounded
by Columbus and Cincinnati streets

ated. The fire department was un-
able to tap any larger main than
the six inch one now supplying the
district. When this main was put
there there were only few resi-
dences in that section and the six
inch main was adequate.
Are there any other districts in
the city similarly situated?" the
superintendent was asked.
'If there are, we'd like to know
It,"

future, as well as adjacent territory

The first main to be put N will
be II inch main leading frNm the
80 inch main on Mission avenue,
which will extend down Hamilton
street, connecting with the 10 inch
main on Sharp avenue and proceed
ing along a route to be definitely
decided upon later, but which will
give sufficient water in case of fire.
Another main, probably "a inch
one, will be put in from Sprague

increase Is honest and justifiable,
why not make it alike for all pat
rons? The policy Of raising the
four party phones from $3.50 to 81
has been going on for two years, yet
hundreds of patrons of the COM
pany, through sheer force of pro-
test, are still getting the old rate
Of $3.50.
This proves conclusively that the
company lacks the moral courage to
enforce the payment of the in
crease, for fear that if the advance
was generally insisted upon the
kick would be so strong that the
affairs of the phone company might
be seriously impaired. The COM
pany is thereby discriminating
against the patron that ror a year or
two has been paying 81 per month.
While the service may have i'm

rons on the Glenwood and Maxwell
lines seem to have the most

possible to get a number on these
exchanges without twp or more

SNYDER'S WIFE
ANSWERS HIS
DIVORCE PLEA

George L. Snyder, the real estate
dealer connected with the sale of
Vera tracts, was today made the OBJ
tect of serious charges by his wife,
in an answer to a divorce complaint
recently filed by Snyder.
She alleges that her husband had
been unfeithful to his marriage
vows and that last fall she filed a
suit for divorce. She says that he
then promised to be good and turn
over a new leaf, and that she
dropped the suit. Property matters
were adjusted at the time and Mrs.
Snyder went back to her old home
at Montreal. During her absence.
she alleges Snyder filed a suit for
divorce and in a defense of her
position she now appears.
Mrs. Snyder charges that when
they were married her husband had
nothing; that she turned over to
him money and property worth
$4,000 and afterward borrowed
1880 more, all of which he in
vested and assumed control of.

RATHER WARM

PORTLAND, July 11.--Tempera-
lures approaching the torrid hold
sway in the northwest today. Yes
terday's hot weather records went
by the board at Seattle, Portland
and at number Of interior points.
Indications today are that yester-
days heat will be exceeded this
afternoon in western Oregon and
Washington.
One prostration, the first reported
in years at Seattle, occurred today,
when Jacob Lilienthal, a laborer,
collapsed at the city treasurer's
office.
Grain experts say that the wheat
crop in these districts will not be
damaged unless hot winds begin to
blow, as the crop Is far advanced.
In the Willamette valley and west

perature is 80 degrees in the open
and several degrees hotter In the

state offices, congressman and

The fee for the filing of a declar-
alton of candidacy is 10 per cent

people in making nominations to a

JOHNSON IS

time set for the arrival of Cham
pion Jack Johnson at the Grand
Central station drew near 10000
denizens of the San Juan hill and
black belt districts swarmed over
the depot corridors and waiting
rooms, while a swell, elegant" del
egatiOn from the African sections of
the city, acting as reception COM
mittee, stood within the train shed
to receive the white mans con-
querOr. The waiting blacks were
doomed to remain on tenterhooks
for there hours or more, as John
sons train from Chicago was late.
In the meantime the crowd grew,
and extra police were sent to join
those on hand. One hundred patrol
men were sent to the station at
train time and the mounted re-
serves were ordered to remain in
readiness for hurry call.
Outside the big station. which is
being rebuilt, the crowds were
jammed immovably in Forty-second
street and along Lexington avenue,
where Johnson was due to emerge
from the depot. One hundred auto
mobiles, decorated with flags and
bunting, stood waiting, and in them
were seated the upper crust of New
York's darby population.
One feature of the reception was
eliminated by the police. Baron
Wilkins. reputed to be the wealth
lest negro in New York and close
friend of the champion, was to have
made a speech of welcome from the
balcony of his saloon as Johnson
hove in sight. Fearing that hun
dreds of idle whites might start a
riot should Wilkins refer sarcast-
ically to Jeffries, the police decided
that the speech should be cut out
Johnson was in the hands of his
admirers throughout the day. He
makes his appearance tonight at
roof garden, and
will collect $4,000 week during his
stay here.

dent Of the American Sugar Re-

Secrecy enshrouded the we'd

Now there comes a New York
alderman with stealthy tread, who
suddenly decides that dancing is
taxable by the pound or square
yard, and if he gets his measure
through the city council there will
be tax of s25 on every dance hall
in the city.

course, expect the dancers to pay

Extra days: Yearend day (365th). Leap day (386th)

On the heels of Esperanto pro-
posed as universal language,
spelling reform, international COM
mercial codes, and so forth, comes
project for reform of the cal
endar. Fritz ReiniIghaus, Swiss,
Is presenting to the world model
perpetual calendar which does not
have to be changed from year to
year. He expresses the hope that
it will be universally adopted, be-
ginning with 1912.
Herr Reininghaus has favored the
Press with modest pamphlet
which he has published at Zurich,
Switzerland, and which explains the
reformed calendar.
If the Swiss savatt mas his way
about it there will be twelve
months of % days each. This
leaves over 20 days in an ordinary
year. He disposes of these by max
ing of them a summer half-month
of IA days inserted after the sixth
month, and winter half-month of
IA days, inserted after the twelfth
month.
The extra day left over at the
end Of the year is curiosity, in
Reininghaus' system. 1t does not
fall on any day of the week. 1t
stands by itself. He would call 1t
the Yearend day, and you could OBJ
serve it as Sunday, a holiday or
as a sort of Chinese New Year, for
the settlement of all debts, just as
you pleased; he makes no recon-
mendations. The extra day OF leap
year would also stand alone as
Leapday, after the Yearend day
whenever it occurs. The new year
would begin again as of the same
day uf the week ppon which it, the
old, began, and continue thus
throughout the ages, obviating the
issuing of new calendars by insur.
ance companies and patent medi,
cine concerns annually.
Features of this reform calendar
are that each month and each half
month begins on the same day each
week. Movable feast days would
be calculated as now and assigned
their dates in each new year as
now. Fixed feasts would be as
signed new permanent dates which
would coincide with their present
number of days from the first of
the year
Another thing-if this perpetual
calendar Is Notwithstanding on
Monday, the inventor guarantees
that there will be no Friday the
thirteenth, because Friday would
always fall on the fifth, twelfth,
nineteenth or twenty-seventh. Sat
urday would get the thirteenth and
three other days of the month, and
ca hcday of the week would have
four particular days of the month
allotted to it; so that if you make
a date for, say three months ahead,
YOU would know at once on what
day of the week it would fall. No
notes would ever mature on a sun
day.
