Skin" Harris, the catcher, led
the sluggers with six hits and an
average of .461; but fred McMul-

as he played in more games.
Billy Yohe batted an even 800 as
did Tony Brottem, our other

while Abbott, NeiShbors and Mil

Extra base hitting was rather
overlooked by the Bengals, as
they CLEANED hut eight long
drives-two triples and six dot

of two baggers. Neighbors, Yohe.

Minnesota to Take Census.

1t is expected that the census of
Minnesota will be taken next June.
A bill will be introduced at the COM
ing session of the legislature provid-
ing for taking a state census. Every
ten years since 1865 the state census
has been taken. The secretary of
state, according to custom, will un-
doubtedly have charge of the work.
In 1905 the state census cost
S65, 600. George F. Wright of Prince
ton had direct charge of the work,
which was handled by Secretary of
State Peter E. Hanson. The
enumeratio started in June and
was completed in one month but
the compilation took some three
months longer. Account was taken
of population, sex, age, color, nativ-
ity, occupation, parentage and period
of residence in the state and dis
trict. The census showed a popula-
ton of l,979,912, which was an in
crease of 228, SIS in the five years
following the Federal census of 1900.
The last Federal census, taken in
1910, showed a population of 2,O75,-
708, an increase of IS, 1876 in the five
years following the state census.

DANGEROUS: Don't Trv 1t.

Most people who have at heart the
good road system Of Minnesota and
who hope for early and definite &C.
complishment under recent laws will
look with concern upon the proposal
announced by the local organization
OF the American Society of Equity to
amend the Dunn road law so as to
provide that the taxes raised in any
locality should be expended in that
locality by the town or county
authorities.
While 1T bears certain specious
FEASIBILITY and may carry an appeal
to localities inducing them to accept
the view that they are to be specially
benefited, the fact is that the pro-
posed change will upset the entire
theory underlying the system in
augurated by the Dunn law and de-
stroy the possibility of large results
contemplated by the act.
Unless Minnesota is to have road
