COAST CENSUS RETURNS
ARE NOT PADDED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O.-'I am
absolutely certain that the census
announcements for the Pacific
Coast cities will be found accurate,
and I am sure that there will be
no padded returns" said E. Dana
Durand, director of the census to
the United Press today.
Director Durand has been pre-
pared for many months for the
enormous increases shown by the
cities of the Pacific coast, and the
figures as they have come in from
the enumerators, though in some
cases almost beyond belief, were
no surprise to the census officials.
Reports of the possible jungling of
the returns on account of intense
rivalry, reached Durand before the
enumeration began, and such steps
were taken as to make recounts un.
necessary.
The census returns for st.
Joseph, Mo-, were padded in 1900
to the extent of 40 or so percent"
declared Durand. 1.-THE Omaha re-

This is the golden rule of the

travel through supply your needs.
Well suppose that you have al

chosen your outfit boss" If you
have, your hike" across country
will be under his direction. 1t will
be up to him to manage things
wisely and up to the rest of you to

BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 10.-Travel-

switch in the yards at Payette last
night. AS the heavy engine left the
track, Engineer Edward Hubbard
threw on the air and jumped. He
struck on his head and little hopes
were held out for his recovery to-

1t is not known how the switch
happened to be opened. An extra

orders to take the Payette siding,
giving the fast mail a clear track.
The orders were carried out. A
short time afterward the fast mail
