BIG INCREASE
Will BE SHOWN
WELL-PoSTED MAN BELIEVES
POPULATION OF COUNTY is
AT LEAST so,ooo-BlG
GAIN HERE.

one of Calumets best-posted men
on population statistical Information
made some interesting statements this
morning concerning the county's pop
ulation, and referred to Calumet in
particular.
He ventured the statement that
Houghton county will show popula-
ton Of at least $4,000, when Uncle
Sans figures from the census bureau
are obtainable. The population OF this
county ten years ago was 10000, but
il will be news To many to learn that
the population of Adams township was
not taken ten years ago owing to some
misunderstanding. When the fact be-
came known il was considered too late
to cover that territory, and conse-
quently Houghton county's population
was given minus the township of
Adams
The News informant believes that
when Adams township is added, with
the big known increase from the South
Range district, that Hougliton county
will show a population Of at least S0,-
600 and possibly $4,000.
The same source of information
places Calumets population at about
1000. 1t was 27,5S7 when the census
was taken 10 years ago. Big increases
are expected from the northern part of
the township. which includes Wolver-
inc, North and South Kcarsarge, Cen
tennial, etc. Then the population OF
Copper City will be included, as well
as other locations in that district.
Information has been received from
the census bureau at Washington that
all large cities, with populations of 3d.
900 and more viii be published first.
Then the figures of all states and
counties will be given out to be fol-
lowed by the returns from the smaller
cities townships and villages. Returns
from the states and counties may be
expected the latter part of this month.
interest is being evinced
i'm the population return of Hough
ton county, and Calumet township in
particular.

OLD TIME LONDON.

The Days When Men Tn the PiIIory
 Were Peltede With Eggs.
 London in HOO was a comparatively small city of: about eoo,oOo inhabitants, the rough and i'll kept main roads to which had been but slightly improved since Tudor times. The ghastly spec tacle of many of the trees on the South wark road Bending under their burden of hanged men had indeed been slight ly modified, but none the less the de composing heads of ''traftors'' still flI- ed the akmosphere about London bridge and Temple Bar with myriads of bane- full microbes.
 Our immediate forbears were evil dently not overparticular about sights and smells. They were accustomed to see men sitting in the pillory pelted with rotten eggs and possibly included among their immediate circle not few who had been deprived of their noses and ears for expressing too freely their opinions, political and religious
 ~ The drains were in an appalling con- didon. The innumerable ct71rchyards were so full of codins that they often projected through the turf. Bear and bull batting, dog fights and boxing matches were attended even by royal ty as late as 1920, and five years later all the 'dandieS'' in London were pay ing high prices to stand in the carts round Tyburn to behold twenty-five of their fellow creatures hanged for mis-. demeanofs which in our time would be punished with few days impris- on1nent.-London Saturday Review.

Friends Say That New Haven Representative Will Garry 800 Votes With Him

New Haven, Sept. 12.-RepubIican Representative Emil Loos has con frned the report that he had with drawn from the Young Mems Repub- lican club and that he would support Judge Baldwin for governor and the state democratic ticket, He would not declare that he would join the detnocratic party permanently. In fact, he would not discuss the matter further.
 One of his political friends, who spoke of his attitude said later: ''Mr. Loos' action is just what he had threatened when he was turned down for the senatorial noTnina ton by the G. O. F. machine some time ago. He was a candidate for the shievalty and he could not getA that, and he wanted the senatorshfp and was not given that, chiefly because I believe the machine here found him a Mo Lean man. The principal reason for cratic ticket this time will be the fact that he is sick of boss rule, and think that in going over to the democratic party he will carry at His main objection is to the. caucus rule as now conducted by the Ull- mans and he will not rest until he has secured direct primaries for the republican party. He thought that he should be nominated for the sen ate this time, and so did his friends, DuI he was informed that he hao corpfnitted himself to Mclean and that for that reason he could not se- cure the nomination as the machine was working for the otherl man. If this dictation cannot be remedied in any other way than by NetinZ the democratic ticket, then MT. Loos will vote the democratic ticket"
 Col. Ullnan refused to discuss MT. Loos's action, last night. Other mem bers of his party, who were seen, but who refused to allow their names to Iz1 I,ra 1 pected that Loos would do as he has done

Nimble wits and a glib tongue ire quently save erring .'coppers'' on trial before the deputy commissioner at headquarters. Some of the .Hdefenses" put up bY offenders are more ingen- ious than convincing.

Firep ran in the direction of the sound, and. would you believe me, MT.

 When Wall street first caught the fever for industrial combinations" and began the reorganization of every thing in sight one of the votaries of high finance found himself in Chicago in extreme need of communicating with his New York office.
 He almost completed an arrange ment for the. conso 1fdation of several western enterprises, but in order to get the final authority he needed from New York he must explain all he had done by wire to his partners.
 There was no time to write. He had no cipher code. For a long time he tried to think out some way to send the information, so that it would be plain to his partners and meaning gless to any one else. His secret was a vaI- uable one and once sent over the wire might be sold out to his rivals in Wall street for large sum.
 At last he decided to take the chances in plain English. Accordingly he wrote the message and gave it to his assistant to send. Half an hour later, when the assistant came back, he asked him if he had sent it.
 ''Not just thatPway," said the clerk. .T rewrote it--the first word on a Postal blank. the second on a Western Union. and so on. I sent half by each conDany, and neither half meant any, thing. Then I sent a second message by one line, saying, Read both mes sages together. alternating words
