CANTON CONTAINS ONE
THIRD OF POPULATION
Figures Of Assessors Show
Mum Der Of Male Citizens
In Stark County.

Deputy County Clerk A. w. Agler
has completed the compilation Of the
returns of the assessors with refer
ence to the male population Of the
county. 1t is conceded that the returns
are defective. but are as nearly cor
rect as they can be gotten when taken
as secondary matter by assessors
1t is the quadrennial enumeration OF
all males Of 21 years and over.
TIE total number in the county of
white males is given at 26,351, and
the colored at So. The number Of
colored persons is far short of the
facts and it is possible that there is
a corresponding falling off in the
number of whites. Massillon alone
has nearly chat number Of colored per-
sons who are above the age of I'll.
The total for the county Of both races
is 26,437. Canton has 1878, or nearly
one-third of the population Of the en-
tire county.

1t can be bought at retail at from 5
to 8 cents head. Weather conditions

Vegetables are plentiful and prices are
hard to maintain. About the only
berries In market are huckleberries,

fact that the bulk gets into the market
in poor condition. Sales are made at

THE COST OF A LOG
Lumbsrmen Expect the Average of
the Past Few Years Will Not
Be Exceeded
More Men Are Available and This
Means that Labor Will Be
More Efficient
Special to ThS. journal.

Special TO IhS' journal
Duluth, Mimi, Nov. 1e.-Lumbermen
generally are hoping that slight increase
in the efficiency of labor this winter Will
more than make up for costs fully as
high as last year. There are more men
available, and this should mean better
men and steadier work, both causes AID
ing in efficiency.
IL there is more steadiness TO the float
ing labor, if men stay at camps longer
and do not force employers to large
and unnecessary expense In Transporting
them back and forth and in commissions
to employment agencies far in excess OF
the normal it will mean lower costs and
less burdensome trouble than has been
experienced the past winter or two
Going wages are less; that Is, they
are now $26 to $50 q month, against S3O
to s35 last year, but oats and hay are
higher, beef Is about the same as a
year ago; sugar, flour, canned goods, ETC.,
are generally little higher, while there
is little change in iron and steel industries
The winter has started late and the
fall has been wet, adding to preliminary
costs but il the weather from now on is
average there should be no increased eX
pense on that account. Probably the
cost Of a log at the mill next spring viii
vary but little from the average Of the
past two years. ''rr
