TACOMA SECURES
CENSUS RECOUNT

Washington, Oct. 29.-As the result
of the efforts of the Tacoma commit.
tee, sent here for the purpose, Census
Director Durand has decided to make
a remuneration of the population of
Tacoma. It will be made under the
immediate direction of William C.
Hunt, chief statistician of the census
bureau, and by force of experts he
will select himself. The understand
ing is that all local bodies will keep
their hands off the count until it is
completed. Director Durand today gave
out the following letter, which he ad-
dressed this afternoon to Messrs. T. L.
Stiles, William Jones, T. E. Ripley and
Allan c. Mason, the Tacoma COM
mittee:
after due consideration of your re-
quest for Remuneration of the city
of Tacoma, have decided to grant it.
l wish, however, to make clear the
motives which have led me to that de-
cision. The recount is not conceded
because of any doubt whatever as to
the existence and great extent of the
frauds in the original enumeration
The evidence of such frauds is over
whelming. 1t is fact, however that
by reason of the methods of fraud pur-
sued the methods of eliminating the
fraudulent names which had to be
utilized may have quite likely resulted
in the elimination OF some names of
bona fide residents.
"The people of Tacoma, in the abb
sence of a Remuneration, will always
believe that the number of bona fde
names thus eliminated was very large
and recount will furnish the only
means by which this question can be
properly settled.

ENLIGHTENED CHINESE
LOOK FOR EMANCIPATION

Spokane, Wash, Oct 29.-"Thinking
Chinese in America are mapping out
plans for the emancipation of their
country" said Louie Lang, head of a
wealthy trading company in Spokane
in commenting upon reports from the
orient that the progressives seek a
republic for China; "and," he added.
''the great work will be directed and
carried out from this country. 1t
must come.
'When China went to war witt
Japan she was weak physically and
poor financially, but this is fast chang
ing. Though the average American
does not understand and believe it,
Clina is different power to what she
was a decade ago. She is awakening
and this means that she will better

largely responsible for this change.
Recently the civilized world was
startled by the announcement that all

step in the march of progress, and
other edicts will follow. They cannot
be put into erect too rapidly, as the

Reform will follow until China is ready

be opportunities for Americans as
well as Chinese. China has rich re

RIGHTS-OF-WAY
DEPLORED BY BALLINcER

Washington, Oct. 29-That the state
of Washington and other timbered
states should require the railroads to
keep their rights-of-way clear of brush
and trees is the opinion of Secretary
ballinger. He believes that a consider.
able portion of forest nres are started
by sparks from locomotives, and his
own observation in travelling over the
Cascade range in Washington last
summer is the basis of his belief.
In writing to Gov. Hay on the sub
ject recently, Secretary Ballinger said:
"a subject of very great Importance
is the prevention and control of forest
fires, both as relates to the public do
main and to state lands; also to the
protection of private interests. My
observation has been that large per
centage of forest fires is the result OF
fires started from railroad locomotives
passing over the Cascade range. In
my travels this summer through Cali.
fornia was impressed with the fact
that railroads using oil for fuel in their
locomotives were free from criticism
in this respect.
81 do not believe that the installa.
ton of spark arresters will accomplish
any beneficial result. but the railroads
should be required to clean up their
rights-of-way SO as to prevent a re
currence of fires from this source and
until so prepared should be compelled
to maintain a sufficient patrol to ex
tinquish fires set out by locomotives
"a law requiring the burning o.
slashings at seasonable periods under
state supervision would seem to me t(
be also advisable. The numbering in
terests in our state ought to be keenly
interested in progressive Legislation
along these lines"

tains the following article regarding the

Mr. Smith during the week stated that
he had turned the water from Big Warm
Syringe to one of the irrigating bitches,
and contrary to the claims set mp, the
remaining smaller springs did not di'
minish in their supply. This point was
argued al length in the local court ID

others. The defendants claimed that
Big Warm Springs was the source oil

On Mr.. Smith s return he will investi

will have the proper instruments, the
subject can be gone into by detail. sew
eral of the ranchers claimed that the
smaller springs showed the effect OF the
drainage from the big spring, but this
did not appear to be noticeable.

Clerk Finds Flaw In
The Primary Law

County Clerk Will Ryan of Storey
County. who is one Of the best posted
men on the primary law in Nevada. has
discovered a point in the law which may
eventually upset the primary election.
In section 10, paragraph 8. it is provided
that at the bottom of the last column
on any official ballot there shall be left
one blank space which shall be preceded
by the words, County Committee
man."
As the law does not provide how the
county committeeman shall be placed
on the ballot Clerk Ryan wrote to At
torney General Stoddard and asked
whether or not . candidate for county
committeeman had to secure a certain
number Of signatures to a petition the
same as other candidates. In reply the
A~ttorney-G General stated "that petitions
are not to be filed in the case of county
committeeman, but the blank spaces
will be placed on the ballot so that the
voter may write in his choice"
The primary law itself does not
authorize the writing of any names. and
the law further provides that the gen
eral election law shall govern when
points in the primary law are not clear.
and any writing on a ballot would be
considered an Identification mark and
the ballot would be thrown out. This is
a very important matter and an effort
should be made to get an opinion from
the Supreme Court.-Virginia Enter
