Huntley. ARE larger than they have
ever been, and, to my mind. altogether
too large, it is no more than fair that
the members should be requested to
remove their hats. One can not sit
behind one of these immense hats and
see the stage. People for six and even
eight rows back have to crane their
necks to get a look at the speaker.
Since this order, or rather request, has
been made, there have been q few mur-
murs, but we are sure that all the

SEATTLE ONLY TO
PROTEST CENSUS
II Would Be 'Undignifed" to
Enter Into Controversy
With Durand

SEATTLE, Nov. 27.-While there is
disappointment that the census gives
Seattle a population of only 237,1s4, it
has been known for six weeks that the
total OF 24s,o0 names turned In had
been materially reduced. The report
generally accepted was that the total
had been cut TO 232, 900, hence the addi-
tionsl 5000 names are a solace. II is
felt that il would be undtgnified to en-
gage in q. controversy with Director
Durand. Probably no. other action than
2 formal protest by the chamber OF
commerce. will be taken. Thousands OF
Alsskans who pass the winter in Seattle
and who had left Seattle for the north
before the Seattle census was taken
and after the Alaska census had been
completed were not taken. Sailors on
ships that ply from this port were not
enumerated unless they had a fixed
abode ashore
Hark to PortIand's Howl
PORTLAND, Nov. 27.-The wholesale
reduction which Portland, with other
Pacific northwestern cities suffered at
the hands Of 9the census bureau has
caused a storm Of protest, it being con-
tended here that the number of emu
merators was wholly inadequate
The repeated assertion OF Portland s
three prlnClpal newspapers that a large
percentage Of the population had not
been counted. caused the Commercial |
club, during the last three days of the
census taking period TO carry on a
pink slip" campaign. This resulted in
the securing OF $4,000 names alleged
TO have been missed by the official
enumerators.
After the recapitulation had been
made here. Supervisor S. G Beach de-
- IL liz
been Of practically no use, as lie had
thrown out 9S per cent OF the names.
Great interest is manifested in recon-
citing this statement with that of
Durand's that the bulk of the $4,000
names thrown out were those secured
IN the pink slip" crusade.
Owing to the practical impossibility
OF securing an accurate count of the
people here last April, probably no re-
count viii be sought.
