the nrst of which is that the county

across the county from west to easG

Engineer Markham and his men
have completed the preliminary sur

CENSUS OF 1910.
Director of Bureau Estimates That
Cost Will Be $14,117,000.

Washington, d. c., Dec THE di-
rector of the census has just issued his
annual report to the Secretary Of COM
merce and Labor After reviewing
the work of the year and describing
the current work of the burea au,E the
director proceeds to the subject of the
next census OF the United States, that
of 1910.
In regard to it's cost he says:
Il estimate that the cost of the
thirteenth census, Including the cost of
conducting the four annual investiga-
tons ana the two biennial reports that
the census Office is required to make
simultaneously with the taking of that
census, will be s14,117.O00. The lump
sum appropriation to be provided in
the appropriation act for the next fiscal
year should be not less than $14,-
900, ,0O0.''
Excluding the cost of the four an
nual Investigations and the two blen-
NAL reports, the probable cost of the
census proper is estimated at $12, $780,
0cO The cost of the last census, that
of 1900, was s12,520,0 ,000s In other words.
the director is planning to take the
ccnsus of 1910 at an increase in cost OF
only $4,000 over the census OF 1900.
and this in spite of the enormous
growth in the population during the
decade. growth largely contributed
BY foreign-bOrn people who do not
speak English, a class which it Is eX-
rensiye and difficult to enumerate.
Formerly the increase in the cost of the
census from decade to decade has been
about so per cent.
The director adds:
"rhe fact that the office is now or
saniZed at the highest point of eff
ficiency, that no time will be lost IN
getting ready, ir testing the aptitude
Of green clerks and in developing new
systems means fully $l,00O000 saving III
the organization of the thirteenth CEN
suS"
Another important means of bring
ing about this saving is the fact that
the bureau will Build and own the
necessary tabulting apparatus. instead
of renting it, as heretofore. On July
/. 1905, the apparatus which had been
used in tabulating the census of 1900,
and which was owned and operated by
Il private company. was Withdrawn
from the bureau of the census because
the company and the director could
not agree ON the rental.
The withdrawal compelled the direc-
tor to ask Congress for an appropria-
ton for experimental work in develop
ing new mechanisms to be owned.
controlled, and operated by the gov
ernment. The results of this ex-
perimental work have exceeded all ex-
rectations. The new mechanisms In
vented are of greater speed and ef-
ficiency than those they supersede, and
can be built and operated at saving
in money. Several of the new tabulat-
ing machines were successfully tried
out in the tabulation of the Cuban
census.

kimbaII w. Wilma.

The Los Angeles Times of Nov. q
gives the following particulars of tn
| death of kimball w. Wing. who wa
| formerly a woll-known resident of thi
city:
Kimball w. Wing, who for more thar
twenty years had been a resident O.
Los Angeles, died at 40 A., VI. Nov
-. a his home, 151 Iona drive from
paralysis.
Mr. Wing, whose life of Il years had
been largely devoted to charity. per-
formed unostentatiously. was born in
1881. in Belgrade. Me- from which town
he removed to Gardiner, Me. and in
1872 tc Minneapolis. in the development
of which he was active.
lie invested heavily in property there,
erected many buildings, and became
very successful. In 1885 he began max
ing annual visits to Los Angeles and
other points in California, being so
impressed with the advantages of this
district that he invested considerable
capital
He went there to live in 1888, and for
while devoted himself to his inter-
ests. He retired several years ago
however. and utilized his time by per-
forming quiet acts of charity. He suf-
fered the first stroke of paralysis six
years ago, the second four years ago,
and four weeks ago began growing
rapidly worse. Mr.. Wing was Metho-
dist, and had always been active in
church work, as well as in charity.
He contributed largely to the support
of many Minneapolis churches. being
Ole of the few directly behind the
building of the Franklin Avenue and
Simpson Methodist churches in that
city.
He contributed literally to and was
one of the first supporters of Hamlln
university, a Methodist institution To-
Gated between Minneapolis and St
Paul. In Los Angeles his church and
charitable work was carried on sys-
tematically. He made liberal donations
to Methodist churches, was one of the
original supporters of the University OF
Southern California and was a member
and official of the Union Avenue Meth
odist church.
Home and foreign missions We're en-
abled to enhance their usefulness be-
cause of large sums given them by Mr.
Wing, who also supported the deacon
ess work, In this connection it is IN
teresting to note that he stood 80 high
them that the Rest home of the
Deaconesses at Huntington beach IS
known as the Wing home. The Saliva
ton army and the Volunteers of Amer
lea also have been helped largely W
his kindness.
He is survived by widow and two
sons, Lieut.. Warren A. Wing chlel
clerk to the quartermaster at the so'-
oilers home at Sawtelle. and William
E. Wing, a Los Angeles newspaper
man.
