4he early completion of the tabnla-
ton of the population Of the states
enables the census Office to submit che
ngures to congress as soon as it con-
venes in December, thus giving that
body the information necessary to dis
pose of the question of the coming
session. All the field work of the
twelfth census, so far as it relates to
the collection of the data relating to
population, agriculture, vital statistics
ana money is now complete.
1t is the aim of the officials in charge
OF the work to push the tabulation of
the returns SO as to give the :Om.
plele reports 70 the public in accord
..nce with the law, which requires that

is practically finished, and he mas col
,ected something over 621, 900 sched-
uies, as against 355 900 in the former
lecade, thus showing a very large in
crease in this part OF the work. Bv
means of the plan adopted in tt,s
census, the Office has been able 10
-omplete the field work concerning
manufacturers more than a Year
earlier than was done ten years ago.
It required nearly IS months in the
tast census to collect the manufac.
turing schedules, but as a result of
the efforts of those in charge Of this
census practically all of the data is
now in cOntrOl OF the office.
The enumerators' accounts, number
ing something over $4,000, have all
been paid, with the exception OF So,
whose accounts are held up for var.-
GUS reasons. In the last census it
took eight or ten months to pay all
the enumerators. All the supervis
o.s have been paid with the excep-
llo. few which have been delay
~. fol various reasons.
The cost of the administration )f
the bureau up to this date, including
the expenses incident to the prelimln-
airy work, as we'll as the cost of the
enumeration and supervision, is $6,361-
561, of which over 100000 has been
expended for supervision and enumer-
alton.
4ne field wor.A having been eold-
pleted, every effort will now be made
to comply with the census law re-
sarding the publication of the reports
concerning the four general topics
named above. The bulletins thus far
issued have been given to the public
almost a year in advance of those Civ
en- out during the last census.
The work of publishing the census
will be done under the direction of
george Il. Boos, a Montana man, and
a former resident of Helena, who was
made superintendent of that depart
ment. Mr.. boos visited his home in
Missoula only recently.
