Will Recount Population.

The report Of the census as enumer-
ated by the government has proved
unsatisfactory to a number of Oregon
cities. The citizens of Eugene and
Oregon City are indignant over the
figures given ont by the census bureau.
The citizens Of The Dalles have held
a meeting AID decided to make a re-
count.
In regard to the matter the Chronicle
says:
THAT the census report of 1880 as
the population of The Dalles is absurd
was the paramount thought of all of
the business men who gathered at the
Commercial club last evening to con
slider the subject. The meeting was
called to order by John GAVIN and
Edward Kurtz was elected chairman.
After stating the object of the session
Mr.. Kurtz invited the expression of
opinion Of those present. All agreed
that the census should be retaken, and
at once.
Capable local men will be engaged
to make the count, and it is expected
that they will find there are between
5000 and $500 people here"

view of this / am going to hold my
books open through the month OF

do so and win prize. There will be
about 500 worth Of prizes to each

from the fourth district, as follows:
Vance, o; Granville, 16; Durham, s;

So far Wilkes is the banner Corn

superintendent of that county, Mr.. G,
