CENSUS FIGURES Notification Received of Boost j by the Washington Census Bureau STILL DEMAND RECOUNT —-——/ Bismarck has 7,039 residents, ac- cording to new figures of the censux bureau, made public here today. This represents an increase from the previous figure of 6,951, but does not satisfy local people who have de- clared the census figures did nol show the real population of the city. The population is in excess of 8,000, officials of the Bismarck Commerdial club believe, and the demand’ for a recount has not been withdrawn, Figures Given When the population was announc- ed as 6,9: a disappointing figure the Commercial clup protested. Sec- retary George IN. ‘Keniston presented to the. census bureau in Washington more than 500 names, gathered by the club, which had not been included in the census. ~ The revision of the population was made after these names were filed, and ‘Mr. Keniston was notified today of the revision. The new figures gives the city a rate of growth of 28.3. per cent oyer the 1910 figures, and is indicative of the progress of the city... Recount Promised When the demand for the recount was made it was presented by Con- gressman George L. Young, and he obtained promise from the bureau that the recount would be made. It hag not been made, hqwever. | “With a registration of approxim- ately 1,600 voters, we believe the city has. a ponulation of something over 8,000,” said Mr. Keniston today. The assessment’ figures for the year, completed a few weeks ago, shows that there are 631 nfore per- ‘sons to pay personal property tax in. the city this year than last.

The four men eliminated yesterday from the state championship are: C. B. Little, Bismarck, A. S. Bolster, Bis- marck, L. J. Stranahan, Fargo and C./ Nichols, Bismarck. It appears thai Bismarck has. the severest setback losing three contestants. Mr. Little defaulted to Mr. Cox. L. J. Stranahan was eliminated by Smith, of Minot, 6 up.and 5 to go. Kostelecky displayed some excellent putting and driving when he defeated Nichols 5 up and 4 to go. He covered the 9 hole lap once in 39 shots and was very steady with his drives and puts. Close Match. One of the closest and hardest fought matches of the tournament was between A. S. Bolster of this city and C. E. Bristol of Fargo. Mr. Bristol won on the 18 hole one up. The game see- sawed back and forth, first one player capturing the lead and then the other. Both men men played-good golf but Bolster was unsteady on-the greens. Bristol played very consistent making all his shots count. New Course Record. 3 Special mention is made here of the new record made yesterday morning by R. F. Smith of Minot, when he cov- ered the ecourse of 9 holes in 35 shots. To do this Mr. Smith had to average; better than four shots to every hole, | which requires an unusual amount of skill with the driver, brassie, midiron ; and putter. The nature of the local course is such that a bounding ball is very apt to roll badly thus costing the player another shot. Mr, Smith was cool at all times and played'a bril- ‘liant game.

La Follette Shy Madison, Wis., July 9.—Third party leaders who,came to see Sen. La Follette have gone away without def- inite assurance from the senator that. he will consent to be the third party candidate. As nearly as canbe learned Sena- tor La Follette’s views are as fol- lows: He desires assurance that there is a sufficient public demand to ins the continual progress of any thir party movement. He is opposed to a futile campaign which can not hope for immediate success and which will go to pieces immediately after election. The senator desires to see a per- manent, agressive organization take the field if any independent politicai movement is attempted. He wishes those engaged in it tobe resolved to continue their efforts in successive campaigns without disintegration or without merging with the old parties, DEMPSEY MAY NOT MEET CARPENTIER New York, July 9.—Chance of a championship bout between Georges Carpentier and Jack Dempsey is re: | garded as unlikely before next year, “if ever,” Jack Kearns, Depsey’s manager, declared, following a con- ference here with Francis Descamps, | the Frenchman’s manager, and others prominent in boxing circles.

REJECT SUFFRAGE Baton Rouge, La., July 9.—All pos- sibility of Louisiana enfranchising the women of the nation through ratifica- tion of, the federal suffrage amend- ment was removed tonight, when the f Bismarck Commercial Club— Church Officials Praise Bismarck as Place for Location of Higher Institution of Learning a will build a large college in Bis- Positive announcement was made today, following a confer- ence between M. J. Bieber, superintendent of missions of the Northwest for the church; Rev. W. S. Ulrich, district missionary for North Dakota, and directors of the Bismarck Commercial obtained immediately, and build- e near future. The decision to locate the col- |lege in Bismarck’ follows a long investigation by the heads of the Lutheran synod of the northwest, and based upon the favorable reports made by those who investigated the synod au- thorized the location of the col- lege in Bismarck. | Pleased with City The church heads are well pleased with Bismarck as the seat for a col: lege, and they intend to make the jn- stitution one of the largest and best that the church conducts. It will have the following depart- College of commerce; con- servatory of music, college of liberal arts and a Lutheran theologieal sem- inary. The conservatory of music probably will be located in the center of the city, while the college will be in the suburbs or Deyond the city limits. Several sites offered by the Commer- cial club have been inspected by the church heads anda selection will be made soon. Fills Great Need The college will fill a long-felt want for the church. There now is no college maintained by the church , between Moorhead, Minn., where Con- cordia college is located, and Spo- kane, Wash. The Bismarck institu- tion, therefore, will be thé central place of learning for a great territory in the northwest. y It is estimated that 70 per cent of the church members in ‘North Da- kota are of the Lutheran denomina- tion, it was said by those who at- tended the conference. . The college will make a particular appeal to North Dakota young men and young women—it will be a-co- educational institution—and to those of other states. The institution will emphasize the english language, it is said, and will be thoroughly modern in all methods of instruction. Club Heads Aid C. L. Young, president of the Corm- mercial club, and Geo, N. Keniston, secretary, who have given co-opera- tion and aid to the Lutheran heads in working out the plans for the col- lege;.are enthusiastic over the pros- pects. They believe that the institu- ; tion not only will be a great benefit to the city, but will offer excellent facilities for young men and women in the central parts of North Dakota, which they do not now enjoy. Sees Future for City Rev. Ulrich highly praised Dis- marck. He was especially impressed by the friendliness and enthusiasm of the people of the city, the pro- gressiveness of the city government, as shown by the paving program; and the well-kept appearance of the homes of the city. He forsees a great future for Bis- marck, and believes that within an- other ten years it will be the largest city in North Dakota. Situated in the center of distribution for a large area, with the Missouri Slope country developing rapidly, he is as confident in the city’s future as the people of Bismarck themselves. The presence of the state capitol and its library facilities is another here. The educational program of the Lutheran church is one of the broad- est of any religious denomination. Colleges and theological seminaries are dotted all over the United States, development in the northwest having been the slowest of any part of the country. START BUSINESS WITH A PRAYER Bloomington, Il., July 9.—The unus- ual proceedings of starting a great business enterprise with a prayer meet- ing was witnessed here this afternoon when the Meadows Manufacturing Company, which has just completed a quarter million dollar plant, assembled all heads of departments and sales managers in the office and called in a minister to conduct an old-fashioned prayer meeting as marking the official dedication of the new plant.
