John Melvin Local Enumcrator


The people of Pullman will be
counted by John Melvin, who was
appointed to the position after a
competitive examination held during
the winter.
The enumerators will commence
work today, and must complete the
census within two weeks, so that on
some day within the next fortnight
you will be called upon to lay bare
your innermost secrets to your Uncle
Samuel. But you are safe in telling
the truth this time regardless of
what you may have said when the
assessor called upon you the other
day, for what you say will not be
used in any way. Even the ladies are
expected to tell without hesitation
just how many winters they have
passed through, for Mr.. Melvin will
be too busy to figure out ages by the
number and position of teeth.
What the Census Man Asks.
The questions regarding popula-
ton that the census man is expected
to ask and that you are expected to
answer are as follows:
The name, relationship of head
of family, color, sex, age, conjugal
condition, place of birth, place of
birth of parents, number of years in
the United State, citizenship, occu-
patton, whether or not employer or
I employee, whether or not employ
ed at the date of enumeration (April
Is, 1910, and the number of months
unemployed during the preceding
calendar year $1,000, whether OF
not engaged in agriculture, school
attendance literacy, the tenure of
home, and whether or not a survivor
of the Union or Confederate army
or navy and the names and addresses
of each blind or deaf or dumb per-
SON"
The following questions are asked
with relation to the agriculture
schedules:
THE name, color, and country OF
birth of occupant of each farm, ten
ure, acreage Of farm, acreage OF
woodland and character of timber

The them" referred to appears to
have been group of outside men in
terested in sport, who it is said after
wards put up $50 for Deanor and
Minor. Inc Interpretation of the
board was that the coach elect was
urging Deanor not to be too easy on
these men, but to hold them up"
and make them rattle ,..eir junk"
keinholz's explanation that by this
he meant that he would insist upon
Deanor getting a good position where
he could earn his room and board,
was not satisfactory to the regents.
With the release of Coach Klein
holz from duty, the faculty commit
tee on athletics, the captain of the
football team and Graduate Manager
Jones have been in conference to Sc
cure someone to take charge of base
ball during the rest of the season.
The work of the track team is not
interfered with by the release of Mr..
Keinholz, as he had nothing to do
with track athletics as that branch of
sport is in charge of Mr.. Boiler.
College Station Postofficc.
At the suggestion of Inspector
FullenWider, of the post office de-
partment and Postmaster Allen, the
board ordered that in the event of
the establishment of a branch post
office at the college, the college
would provide without cost to the
government, for the transfer of the
college mail to and from the local
post office or trains.

HOW MANY PEOPLE IN PULLMAN?
Uncle Sam Will Commence Counting
Noses In United States Today.
a.t Count Taken in 1905, Gave Aresian City Popu
laton of 1884

How many people will Uncle Sam
find in Pullman? -
That question occasions a good
deal of interest for it is known that
the city has made great gains since
the previous taking of the general
census, but guesses as to the num-
her who now claim domicile in Pull
man varies greatly, two men differ
ing as far as a thousand in their es-
Inmates.
The first time that this city APP
reared upon the map of the census
taker was in 1890, there having been
no Pullman in 1880, the date of the
previous census taking, three forks
then occupying this part of the uni
verse.
Pullman's Population in 1890.
In 1890 the enumerator found
S6S population within the corporate
limits of Pullman. Ten years later
this number had grown to 1903, but
five years later, when the deputy
assessors counted noses, 1854 men,
women and children claimed this
city as home, an increase in the
five years of between 90 and 80
per cent. A like rate of increase in
the five years last past would ac-
count for between 1000 and 5000
people now in the Artesian City.
C0lfaN Metropolis Five Years Ago.
Five years ago Pullman was the
second largest city in the county,
ColfaX leading with 2S75. or PSI
more than this city could account
for. In 1900 Colfax led Pullman by
S13. This race between the two prin-
cipal towns of the county for su-
premacy of numbers will add inter
est to the count, for which ever
wins, she is sure to have the lead
only "by a nose" or a few noses
at most.
Growth of County and State.
Whitman county showed a popula-
ton of 1901 in 1890 this num-
Der being increased to 1880 ten
years later, while in 1905, the popu-
lation was 31,375.
The first general census in which
the then territory of Washington
figured was in 1860, when 1854
white people were contending with
the red aborigines for territory. In
1870 the population was 1886, and
in 1880, 25,116. 1t was in the later
SOS that the population grew by
leaps and bounds, the state at end
of the last decade having 349,390
people, a per cent increase of 1851.

COLLEGE REGENTS IN SESSION
Regent McCroskey Elected President of
the Board for the Coming Year.
Coach keinhoz Relieved From Duty Athletic Director
and Instructor Because of the Athletic Scandal

AT the reorganization of the
board of regents of the State Col
Iege, at the annual meeting of the
board which convened Monday, Re
gent McCroskey was elected presi-
dent of the board for the ensuing
year, and Regent d. S. Troy, the
new member, who was present for
the first time, was elected vice
president. Regents Johnson and Nc
Gregor were also present, Regent
Brown being unavoidably absent.
President Bryan is eX-officio secre-
tary of the board, and State Treasur-
er J. c. Lewis was elected treasurer,
his election to that office being a
formality required because of the re-
ceipt by the state of the u. S. funds.
Faculty Changes.
Several changes in the college fac
ulty were acted upon by the board.
The resignation of Ira p. Whit
ney, who had been with the depart
ment of agriculture at the college
for number of years past, was ac-
cepted. Mr.. Whitney resigns to take
charge of the big stock farm of J. p.
Graves, located near Spokane, on the
Little Spokane river.
DR.. Albert e. Egges resignation as
the head of the English department
and professor of English language
and literature, was accepted, to take
effect September 18th, and he was
elected professor of Scandinavian
language and early English He will
have charge of editing the annual
catalogue, and will be consulting IL
brary expert.
DR., Bruce McCully, of Harvard
University, was elected head of the
Department Of English and profess
sor of English language and ltera-
ture. DR.. McCully will enter upon his
duties September 18th.
Keinholz Released from Duty.
The board took up the case of
Coach KeinholZ, which has attra ted
SO much attention from the public
press of late, and found that while
the evidence was not sufficient to
convict the coach Of offering money
to Deanor and Miner to play on the
football team last fall that the lar
guage used in three letters written
by Keinholz to Deanor was coarse
and was suggestive of corrupt in
fluences to induce Deanor to return
to play football, and was unbecOnins
OF a member of the faculty, and
that on account of these letters Mr..
Keinholz would be relieved from any
further duties or responsibilities in
connection with the athletic teams or
college classes. Mr.. Kleinholz will
as a matter of course receive the an
nual salary for which he was en-
gagged. Four phrases in Keinholz's
letters to Deanor that were regarded
as particularly significant, and which
were EN- bodied in the faculty report,
were as follows:

sIssoN CRITICIsEs TAFT,
Objects to the Presidents "Hush.
Up" Policy.

Washington.-A vehement criti.
c1sm Of President Ttfa's hush-up poll
cy was uttered In the House by Rep
resentatiye Sisson of Mississippi. He
based 1t. upon the order issued by
the President last October, In which
ne directed that no officer of the
army or the navy, nor any employee
OF any Of the executive departm ents,
give out any information without the
permission Of the head of the depart
ment. 1t was under that order that
Clifford Pinchot was dismissed be-
cause he and his subordinates fur
n1shed facts concerning the Cum
ningham claims to coal lands in Alas
ka.
The Mississippian contended that
rather than try to hide the light un-
der bushel the President should
welcome efforts On the part Of Con-
gFessmen to find out how the money
of the people was being spent by
the executive departments of the
government. He suggested that it
would make for the cleanliness of ad-
to allow anybody to give
out any information concerning the
operations Of the government instead
OF trying to seal the lips Of everybody
other than the heads Of departments,
who In turn are forbidden to say any
thing about deliberation by the Cabi-
net.

At conference between Mayor

for traffic bridge across Red River
was ratified The War Department
had already approved the scheme.
The plans provide for bridge to
cost approximately 100000. 1t will
not be a suspension bridge, but will
be sufficiently high to permit of the
free navigation of the river without
the necessity of draw. Shreveport
already has fund Of $4,000 Great
ed from the tolls collected on the
present railroad bridge. 1t is pro-
posed to supplement this with bonds
based on the tolls collected ON the
new bridge. AS soon as the bridge
is paid for the tolls will cease ex-
cept such as will be necessary for
maintenance and repairs.

CHARGES against HASKELL
Oklahoma Governor Charged
With Malfeasance
FUNDS USED CONTRARY TO Law
Alleged to Have NIisappropriated
$2O5,92O of The School Fund
of the State. Charges Be-
ing Investigated.

Guthrie, Okla.-In addition to
sworn charges filed against Governor
Haskell and the state banking board.
alleging misappropriation and mis-
use OF state funds, accusations sim
llarly attested were filed with the
legislative Investigating committee
against the school land department
by Representative Humphrey of Ato-
ka.
1t is declared that $205,920 of the
funds OF the school land department
Ed Cassidy, superintendent. has been
misappropriated and used contrary
to the law. This is based on the off,
cial report of state examiner.
Governor Haskell said he was glad
the charges had been filed, as the
people of Oklahoma would "have q
chance to learn the whole truth"
Representative Lester A. Maris,
representing the Republican minori-
ty, filed the affidavit in the lower
house of the legislature.
The last legislature appropriated
$1,000 to be expended under the d.
rection of the governor in the audit
ing of the territorial accounts. In his
affidavit Representative Marls
charges that Governor Haskell paid
nearly $2,100 Of this fund to a pri-
vate detective, who Mr.. Maris further
charges, is not an accountant.
The legislature also appropriated
$4,000 to be used by the governor in
paying for investigating committees
and the travelling expenses OF dele
gates to various national conventions.
The governor is charged with paying
this sum to the private detective also.
Representative Maris calls attention
to public money paid by Governor
Haskell to o. T. Smith, his law clerk,
in addition to the latter's regular
salary, which Mr.. Maris charges. was
not for state purposes, but in the pr1-
vate interest Of the governor. At

alleged similar payment of $500 to

The matter, of rice acreage In
Eastern Calcasieu parish for the ap-

conjecture. The farmers are exceed
ingly slow in making up their minds
as to what they are going to do, as
practically every canal company in
this section has raised the water rem
tai this season, which may decrease
the acreage materially.
Very little plowing has been done
for this season of the year, notwith-
standing the favorable weather. Much
talk has been done with reference to
diversification.
