VIII Have Completed Their
Work This Week.
ABOUT FORTY.IWO THOUSAND
VIII be Wheeling's Population, It is
Believed, by Some of the
Knowing Ones.

The thirty-seven census cnumerators
In wheeling and Ohio county, under
the direction of Special Agent Charles
A. Helmbright. are working overtime
this week, and 1t is believed all OF the
enumerators in the county will have
completed their work within the time
specified by the census bureau-two
weeks. Several OF the ehamerators,
says Mr. Helmbright, will complete
their enumerations by the close OF this
week. The enumerators are without tx
cepuon progressing smoothly with
their work. though Of course there are
many people from whom 1t is tedlously
and tlresomely slow In getting the sta
tIstlcs the blanks call for from each
household. One reason for the smooth
ness with which the work has pro-
crossed in Wheeling is the fact that
the enumerators are men who know
the people in their respective districts,
and the filling in of many of the blanks
on the schedule is merely a matter of
form.
While the enumerators are forbidden
to give out Information as to what is
developed in their work, the expectation
Of the census takers is that Wheeling
viii show a very substantial increase
in population. A gentleman who Is well
acquainted with conditions throughout
the city is authority for the prediction

TINE CARD o. S. l.. by.
Hutchinson Talks.

Our Lieutenant governor, Joseph
IL. Hutchinson, of Silver City, in a
recent interview in Denver had the
following TO say about Idaho and
her future:
Idaho is coming forward SO fast
as a mining region hat itnow pro
dnces more lead than any Other
state in tho Union, and in two or
three years will lead in the produc-
ton OF copper. This my sound
strange to one not familiar with the
progress of the state, but it is 10
more surprising than the race Col.
orado had with California in the
production of gold. Colorado for
ged past California aud is now so
far ahead that there is no POSSIBLE
ity OF the Pacific coast state catch
ing up, We are very proud of the
record which is being made by Ida
no, not only in the production of
metals but in farming. ieep rails
ing and cattle raising.
Any energetic, capable man who
Is casting about for home would
do well to take look over Idaho
The railroads are extending to new
parts of the state, opening up new
resources and the next few years
will witness mighty strides in ud-
vancement for the entire state. -
