Figures Are Unjust.

II no tutsliOu lHt CtH-
sus figures do Pendleton an injustice.
Pendleton has a much larger popula-
ton than the census report shows. 1t
is too bad local people did not take
steps in time to see that thorough
enumeration was had. At this time
/ don't see as it will do much good to
complain. We had better forget 1t
and talk of something else"
In this manner did Dan p. Smythe,
president OF the Commercial club, de-
clare himself regarding the census
showing. Seemingly he expressed the
sentiment of business men in general.
Just as the taking of the census was
being brought to a close last year It
became known that many people had
been missed by the enumerators. Ac-
cordingly a committee was named by
the commercial club to look up those
who had been missed. During
campaign lasting several days some
500 names were secured by this COM
mittee of which Mr.. Smythe was
chairman. These names were turned
into the census takers but apparently
none were used. AS to why the
names were rejected no explanation
has been made. According to the
committeeman there was not a fake
name on the list. but on the con-
trary those who were seen declared
they had not been enumerated.
The following is list showing the
census populations of the principal
towns and cities OF the state, Pendle-
ton and other Umatilla county towns
included:

mediately urging them to leave any

iff commission.
Quality Is Good.
The quality Of the clips this year
viii be better than last year, in his
opinion, owing to a good winter and
a good spring. "Tha shearing of the
1911 clip Will begin in earnest next
Monday" he said today. "Our big
shearing plant at Arlington will be-
gin on that day and before it ceases
operations it will have sheared be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 sheep. Prac-
tically all of Umatilla county and
part of Malheur county plans will al
SO start Monday but those about
Shaniko and Heppner will probably
not begin until the last of the month.
Shearng will continue well into
June"
The quality outlook promises to
be excellent" he went on. "As far
as l can discover, the sheep winter
ed well and with a few exceptions
the fleeces SHOULD be without break
and good staple. We have had splen-
did weather this spring with but few
winds. If this continues, the fleece
should be cleaner than usual"
Price Hinges on Congress.
1T is difficult yet to determine
about the price. There seems to be
no disposition on the part of the buy
ers to contract and as the wool has
not yet come into the warehouses,
there have been no real sales of which
l have heard. However, l think the
reason for this is the contemplated
tariff reduction of the special session
of congress. What action congress
takes will have a great bearing on
the market II would seem that moth
ing would be done by the senate un
til the tariff commission makes its
report in December. If such is the
case, the wool market will be greatly
and the price should be
as good as last year. Otherwise, there

California Situation Serious.
Calexicco, Cal, April with bull
lets flying about them, managers of
the Cudahy ranch, in an automobile,
won race with rebel cavalry to the
international boundary today.
The incident was the climax of a
marauding expedition started by STAN
ley Williams, the rebel leader, who
has been operating independently of
the insurrecto forces at Mexicali It
was probably one of the most thrill
ing races in which an automobile has
ever participated.
The chase followed the looting Of
the Cudahy ranch by Williams men,
who were not satisfied with the $1,000
worth of horses, mules and provisions
taken last night.
Williams also wanted the costly
touring car. The Americans on the
ranch learned of Williams design and
started for the American line. The
rebel cavalry in hot pursuit. made
several short cuts, and twice the
mounted rebels We're close to the fu-
gitives. Once when the automobile
had tangled in barbed wire, the bull
lets flew thick about the Americans,
but none reached a mark.
In the automobile, which was driven
by w. E Taylor, We're Thomas P.

Madero Makes Statement.
Madero's Camp, Bustillos Estate.
near Chihuahua, Mexico, April s.
What he declared to be his ultimatum
on the question of peace was announc-
ed by Francisco 1. Madero TODAY.
While still insisting President Diaz
retired and the country be given a
new election, Senor Madero said he
was willing to resign as provisional
president" and if necessary would
allow a provision president to be Sc
lected from the Diaz cabinet.
The tenor of Senior Madero's inter-
view was rather to discredit the pos
sibility of immediate peace. He said
no peace overtures whatever had been
received by him. He did not intend
to move camp toward the border or
anywhere else with a view of receiv-
ing any peace commissioners.
The report that his father was in
Ell Paso and preparing to enter the
insurrecto country to see him, inter-
ested him, but would have no influ-
ence on his actions. he said
1t was the first formal interview
Senior Madero had given since the
text of President Diaz's message was
received in camp.
AS for the reforms promised in the
message, Senior Madero dismissed
them with a smile. saying the prom
ises We're no more than President Di-
az had previously made.

0. Seward of south Of town
was in the city last Saturday look
ing after business matters. Mr..
Seward was down at Kansas City
last week looking after some of
the business interests there, and
says the wheat between here and
there is mostly looking good, and
averages up better than the crop
around here. He says the wheat
down in his locality is very spot
ted, some fields are good, but
there is a whole lot of it that is
looking mighty poly.

player in the EllinwOod Band,

yer. It is a tuba of which the

the big tuba and see what you
think of it.
Jacob Hahn of route 3 was a
pleasant caller at this office the
first of the week. Mr.. Hahn is
a gentleman it is a pleasure to
meet from the fact that he is al
ways looking ON the bright side
Of life and has none of the pes
simiSt in his makeup. He says
the outlook for his wheat crop
is fine, maybe it won't be full
crop and again it may make
nothing at all, but he says there i
no use hOllering until you are
hurt, and even then it is nigh
ty little satisfaction. Take things
the way you find them, is his
motto, and this little old world
would be heap site better off
If there were more who looked
al things in that light.
A. W. Hennning. a long time
resident of this section, but now
living down near Macksville, was
here this week on business and
for a visit with relatives and old
friends. Mr.. Henning says the
most of the wheat down in their
neighbOrhOOd is looking fine
much better than up this way,
but in spite of that he is still Of
the opinion that the s. million
bushel estimate of the crop ex-
perts for Kansas for this year
considerable high. Mr.. Henning
ran a threshing machine in this
locality for a number of years
during the early days when the
old hand feeder was in vogue,
and says he got enough of exper-
fence in that line to last him the
rest of his life. Feeding one
tOf those old threshing separatOrs
by hand was just about hardest
kind of work imaginable and no
man was to. be. blamed for get
ting sick Of the job.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF
Hll0 LAND TROUBLES

An official statement has been made
by Secretary William b. Oleson of the
Hawaiian Board In connection with
the trouble that has arisen over the
value of some land at the back Of ililO
between the hoard aud the Hilo coun,
~ authorities.
|. He states that about fifty-eighi
acres Of the land held by the Board
make a complete watershed and that
the, county officials have valued this
at 1880 In connection with condem-
nation proceedings. The board puts
d value Of 100000 on Il for this pur-
pose but are willing to settle the mat
ter out Of court for $4,000,
Z He states that the land Is the most
VALUABLE and revenue producing Of the
whole of the property and will later
on be valuable as a residential prop
.erty. This is especially true with the
inexhaustible spring that is on the
land and from which a million gallons
Of water In every twenty-four hours
comes out.
In referring to some Of the criti.
cisms that have been made by the law
officials OF the County OF Hawaii he
states that they must remember that
Il does not matter who the benefici-
aries are as trust property must be
safeguarded with the solemn obliga-
tons of trust responsibility. irrespec-
tive OF who the benehciaries are.
