Ancient Censns .Inkers

A volume just issued by the census
bureau celebrating on the remnants
of the census schedules Of the first
enumeration, taken in 1870, with COM
parsons with the last census Of 1900,
indicates that there were census iokers
also in the early days.
The census officials nave undertaken
to compile and classify the James in
the first census representing the heads
of families with a view, doubtless, to
permitting present-day Inhabitants to
trace their ancestry through the roots
of genealogical trees into colonial
earth. And in further explanation we
are told that of the 27,337 different
surnsmes, Tor which the 1890 sehed-
ules are in existence, "a per cent were
derived from the parts of speech and
upon card c%ataloging. according to.
the meaning Of the words, fall under
the following general heads:
l. Household and domestic affairs,
?. Nations and places. n-
B. Human characteristics
:. Gaines, religion, music and literature.
5. Property. ~
8. Nature, objects of nature and their
attributes.
Z. The ocean and maritime subjects.
s. War.
9, Death and violence.
10. Time.
IL. Unusual and usual combinations Of
common nouns and Of christian names
and suTnames.
Without going into details Of the
first ten c~lassiications, a glance at the
eleventh VIII show that the census
takers gin 1890 caught the humor of
the occasion, as well as any of their
SUBSEQUENT successors. Here are a
few of ithe so-called striking or ludi-

HARD FIGHT
 ON DIVISION 0F GRAHAM
East and West Sections in
 Fierce Conflict Before Leg
 iSiature, Both Sides Being Confident
lstafi CorrespondenceJ

PHOENIxA Feb. 24.-It is by no means a fOregone conclusion that Graham county win be divided and the county of Lincoln created. The star bill at the legislature, however. is county division, with particular ref erence to Graham county and large delegation from both the east and the west end of that county are in Phoenix and in swarms attend the daily ses- sions at the capitol building.
 It had been passed about that the division would be proposed in a bill to have been offered last Friday. La ter the bulletin read that the bill would be introduced this morning and Mir. Hampton, the member from the east end of Graham county, so stated on the floor of the council last Friday. This morning when the new bills were read off the crowd listened intently tor the name Lincoln eounty' but none was heard and a wave of disap- pointment swept one half of the gal lery, while. smiles and good cheer per vaded che opposite half It could easily be seen what part of Graham county any one !ci the gallery visitors resided in or was supporting.
 At about 3 o'clock ". T. Webb was called into a conference of the< east end members, and as the leader of the leader of the west end forces was made a proposition. Everything was secret and the only information given out was to the effect that the several parties at interest were making an effort to get together. Just how such will be possible is hard to understand in the light of a statement made to your correspondent by Mir. Webb this afternoon after the conference.
 You can say there will be no di- vision at this session effectfng Graham county" he said. We know We are right and no matter what the fight costs, you can bet on it there will be no county division"
 Dr. Tuthill. of Morenci, a foremost advocate of division was just as DOS. tive as Mir. Webb that division would be brought about .The bill was ready for introduction this morning, but 1t vas decided to aid several new pro visions to ;as r'l and consequently It's consideration has caused the delay The bill VII be introduced and there .S no doubt as to its passage"
 Just what the conference considered can only be guessed at for as stated nothing was give nout to the public other than that an effort was beins made to settle the difficulty before going before the legislature. The fact however, that the county assessor and all of the representatives of the big mines of the proposed Lincoln county were in consultation leads to the ru. nor that mine taxation had something to do with the difficulties encountered
 It is also known that at the say of the west end crowd Mir. Pace, their representative in the house, would have offered number of new bills the context of which would have tended to make additional work for the Clifton and Morenci district men. It is likely that a bill will be introduced, but when would be an absolute guess.
