AUGUSTA LOCALS.
England's Poet Laureate.

Forward Britannias bard,
List to him breathing hard,
Keeling off yard by yard
Backboneless dribble
Austin, wOuld'st made a hit?
Bow, like a man, and quit,
own you've bit off Il bit
TOO much to nibble
Then when hope dawned at last
And fled the foe aghast
At the relieving blast
Wouldn't that jar you?
Alfred, dear fellow, why
Don't you go off and die
Ere angry BritonS try
To feather and tar you?
Critics to right of him
Critics to left of him
Critics in front of him
Each with hammer
Writing with both his hands,
Striving to meet demands,
Yet undismayed he stands,
Official windjammer!
Honor the bluff he made
Honor the task essayed,
Pray that the rhymes he made
May not outliNe him!
And for the ink he sings
For the sad hearts he WringS
For the bum songs he sings
Heaven forgive him.

When the census enumeration in East
ern Washington has been completed 1t is
generally believed. and particularly by
those having charge of the work. that
the population will be a disappointment at
least to the enthusiastic. The lower es-
Inmates Of business men. II is said win
probably turn out more to the mark when
accurats figures are given out by Director
General Merriam
Among the visitors In the city attending
the meeting OF the State Bar Association
is Austin Mires OF Ellensburg. Mr.
Mires is also census supervisor for East
ern Washington. and although under the
ruling Of the department no official in
formation regarding the census or what
1t will develop shall be given out, in a
general way the work may be discussed
II don't know that / can give you much
Information" said Mr.. Mires. at the
Hotel Seattle yesterday. for two reas-
ons. We have not yet completed our work
and the department will allow no infor-
nation to be made public.
My district comprises seventeen coun-
ties and includes the manufacturing Cen-
sus. except in Walla Walla. Spokane and
one other city. where special agents have
been appointed to gather manufacturing
statistics and report direct to W Washing
ton. We have finished our enumeration
In the cities and have about concluded in
the country. While / have had very
efficient corps of enumerators, in check
ing over the sheets IN my once nave
found some errors and have had TO send
the sheets back for correction. This will
delay US somewhat. but within two weeks
| expect TO finish all except the manu-
featuring schedules. which are not due
until August /.
Il am inclined 10 believe the enthusi-
astic will be somewhat disappointed in
the returns from Eastern Washington,
and particularly in the cities. There is
one thing hat people forget, just as |
did myself in the beginning
When the eleventh census was taken.
In 1880 We were enjoying boom. From
1899 to 1896 business was dull in Washing
ton, and our cities. particularly, lost a
great number of their inhabitants. This
number can only be appreciated in the
new work. Since 1896 all sections of the
state have been prosperous and our popu-
lation has increased very rapidly. But
we had first to get back the number we
lost during the four years of depression
before We would begin to show an In
crease over 1890. So that while we know
We have grown at a tremendous rate since
1896. the result will not all be shown in
the increase this year over 1890.
II believe In some districts the esti-
mates have been placed from 1000 to
l0.00o too high.
THE manufacturing schedule, OF course,
we know, WIN show a splendid increase
In almost every branch"
