for the next fiscal year of $4,000, 900.
II is estimated that the actual cost OF
the census proper will BE- sl2.930 900,
but the remainder will be taken up In
paying for the four annual investiga-
uons and the two biennial reports,
Harper's Weekly says:
The cost of our last census was si2.-
100000. and thcdirector believes that
the count for 1910 can be made at an
Increased cost OF only $4,000. For
merly the cost OF taking the census
was increased 90 per cent from decade
to decade. so that an increase of s410.-
900 is remarkably low. in view OF our
greatly Increased population. Howev-
er, there are several reasons for this
enormous saving. The tabuiatIng ap-
paratus will be built by the census
bureau instead OF renting 1t. as here
tofore. and the machines are of great
speed and efficiency. The operators OF
this machinery will be paid by piece
work. and In the words Of the dirsct-
or. the fact that the ONCE is now or

THE THING TO DO IN THE
CASE OF FROZEN PIPES

In case your water pipes freeze"
remarked well known plumber. to
the Daily Record man a few days ago,
'use hot water and hot cloths in thaw-
ing them out. Some people build fires
under the pipes and end by setting
the house ablaze. I'm not drumming
up business. but would advise a hur-
ry-up call for a plumber as the best
remedy for CONCEALED water pipes"
We have less trouble from this
source in Canon City than almost any
where else in this latitude. but when
the temperature gets down to zero and
below, as 1t did a week or so ago. the
plumbers are in clover. They work
but it costs the householder money
for every hourt hey labor. Some frozen
water pipes can be restored to work
ing condition in a few minutes others
require half a day to get back into
shape.
It's sudden changes OF the weather
and cold waves that cause most OF the
water pipes to freeze. When the mer-
curry in the thermometer takes a
sudden drop In the night 1t catches
many people Off their guard. Every
householder should turn off the water
in his residence when he has reason
to expect a cold wave OF more than
ordinary severity.
Many people attempt to thaw their

citation. 1t is believed that the survey
and the blue prints of the route to be
followed by the road makers can be
completed in a couple of weeks, and
that grading operations can be started
not later than February tenth.
! If the boulevard is built the major
part of the work must be done by con-
vict labor from the penitentiary, as
there is no fund available for it's con-
struction in any other way. The sue
cess of the prison road making camp
near Trinidad during the last nine
or ten months has demonstrated the
value of convict labor in road building
and there Is going to be a big demand
for prisoners from the penitentiary for
that kind of work all over the state in
in the future. "
II the Royal Gorge boulevard is
built, as everybody hopes it will be,
quick action is necessary. otherwise
the opportunity for carrying the prop
osition to completion cheaply and
economically, will be gone forever.
The Merchants Association is thor
oughly convinced that the contemp-
lated roadway is needed: that the
route recommended by the committee
Is a perfectly feasible one and that its
value to the community would be
worth many. times its cost. The exist
ing roadway is little better than
trail and it runs through private prop
erty a portion of the way, is likely to
be fenced up at any time.
The committee reports that the
proposed road will be about four miles
shorter than the one now in use and
that it will reveal many charming bits
of scenery. At half a dozen different
places along its route the great San
gre de Christie mountains, the roof and
backbone of the continent, can be
seen, while off to the northeast Pixies
Peak Mount Pisgah and the rough,
rugged character of the Cripple Creek
district are in plain view. Four Mile
and Florence open out upon the vision
to the eastward. while occasional
glimpses OF Parkdale and Webster
Park may be had in the opposite di-
rection. 1t will be one of the most
beautiful roadways imaginable-a fit-
ting compliment to the Skyline drive
and the scenic driveway into the
Grand Canon Of the Arkansas.
1t is believed that the Royal Gorge
boulevard can be built, with convict
labor. for a sum not greatly in excess
of $500. II so it would be a fine in
vestment for Canon City as 1t would
add immensely to the attractiveness OF
he own and help make | great tour
ist point. There is not man in the
Canon City district that does not wish
he Merchants Association success in
its proposition to build boulevard
to the top of the Royal Gorge along
the route suggested by the civic I'm
provement committee.

On Thursday of last week Curator
Fish in company with Frank Kibert,
surveyor of Oliver county. went to
about IL miles south of Mandan and
between there and Riverside
ranch and surveyed the site OF an old
Indian village. The work was done
to secure statistics for the state his
torical society and was done at this
time as the new line Of the Northern
Pacific is to run through the site and
would destroy all chances of securing
data at a later. date. The village
proved to have been one Of about 20
houses and this woul dindicate q
population of ABOUT 700 or a thous-
and Indians. The signs go to show
that the population was mixed one
consisting of Mandans and some 9TH
err tribes. The village was evidently
very old one but the outlines Of
the houses are very plain.
J The houses we're about 40 to so feet
in diameter ana were made in the
regulation way. Holes are dug about
two feet deep, around the edge of
the hole poles are placed about six
inches apart and the Intervening
space filled with mud. There are a
number of supporting poles on the
inside of the ring. Supports are
placed on the poles in man
ner to form a roor, brush is placed
on them. and they are made rain
proof with mud. There were none
Of the buildings found standing, but
the indications were that the above
method of building was found. There
was a we'll defined wall around the
entire town. There was newer forth
fication walls nearer the river which
had probably been built about the
time OF the Sibley raid in the SOS. 1
There are a number of other vii.
lagos that will be run through by the
new line and Curator Fish and Sur.

surveying the mnext week. There
were no relics of any unusual import:

Education in corn growing in North

the practical matters that the schools

absolute necessity of growing more
feed for stock Is seen with the neces-
sity Of raising more stock. AS the

OF grain, and nothing else is as we'll
