FACTS ABOUT THE
THIRTEENTH CENSUS
Supervisor Of the Second District o.
West Virginia, G. n. Chlids
Gives Information.

People who are worrying over some
OF the questions that will, or may
be asked them by enumerators, are
mistaken as to the intention of the
bureau in prescribing the various
questions used in obtaining the infor-
nation desired In the first place,
as to mortgages have the stats.
tics OF any value 10 the bureau, the
answers must be correct, and the per
CONS giving these answers, should
feel assured that the information a.
furnished, will never in any way be
used against them personally, in other
words, while under the law, an enum-
orator can insist upon answers to his
questions, the bureau guarantees ALSO
utely, that these answers win never
be used for, or, against individuals.
that is to say. the only publication Of
the facts as given, that will ever be
made, will be OF total amounts OF
mortgage Indebtedness of counties,
states, or, of all the country.
The same statement will apply to
all questions OF personal nature
that viii be asked by enumerators Of
individuals.
The people should at all times re-
member that the expenditure of the
large amount Of labor, time and
money incident to the taking OF the
census, is useless, unless, that work
can be as nearly correct as is posi-
Bile, and that every incorrect answ er
given, makes the census of just so
much less value, statistically speak
ing
All persons regardless of political
afiilation, age, color, or, sex, are en-
titled to apply for enumeratorships
except, such as are connected with the
assessing or collection OF taxes.
All applications for these enumera-
torships, accompanied by such en-
as the applicant may see
fit TO file. should be in my hands, on
or before January %, 1910.
All persons so applying, will be no
titled of and required to pass an ev-
animation, founded entirely on the
actual work they will be required to
do as enumerators.
These examinations will be held all
over the country on the same day,
probably February ). 1910, and prob
ably an examination viii be held IN
each county seat, o. the fourteen
counties included in my district. All
questions, and papers in the matter
will be sent direct by the bureau 70
the parties in charge of the examina-
ton at each city or town where held
The completed papers will be sent to
ME, but all recommendations for APP
pointments will be confirmed by the
director of the census, after proper
perusal of the papers submitted by
the applicant at this examination.
The actual work of the enumerators
will commence April Is, 1910 and
must be completed within so days
from that date, with the exception Of
cities showing population OF 5000
or more in 1900, in which case, the
work must be completed in two weeks
The compensation of enumerators
will be fixed by the bureau, at rate
intended to allow the enumerator,
with reasonable activity, TO earn
from SO TO 81 per day.

the selection OF the location as to
the kind Of material to be handled
we will reduce the cost OF construc-
ton to minimum The road must
be located by one skilled in the pro-
fession of civil engineering and espe-
eially In that branch OF engineering
known as location.
Cost of Maintenance.
There is no question that enters
into the location of a road so much as
that of maintenance. So many OF us
are prone to forget that the construc
ton of road means the construction
OF an avenue OF commerce which will
be used perhaps for centuries and
must be maintained at an annual ex.
pense varying in proportion with the
kind of location and quality OF CON
struction. So many of us are disposed
to make a location where the road can
be constructed the cheapest and there
by increase the burden OF maintan.
ance and place that responsibility
upon our successors. You can never
shift the burden of expense by re-
ducing the cost OF construction by an
erroneous location and thereby in
crease the cost of maintenance, since
II is the tax payers who bear this
burden, whether IT be IN the initial
cost OF construction or in the expense
OF maintenance and they will be re-
minded OF this burden every time they
pay their taxes. The cost of mainten.
ance is regular and annual, as regular
as taxes and taxes are as certain as
death.
That this important question of
maintenance was never considered in
the establishment of our county roads
is demonstrated by the many miles of
roads in this state which occupy the
beds OF the streams. 1t is a CON.
mon thing alter freshet 10 find
miles OF roads in this state when
have been so obliterated that il is
impossible to tell where the road had
been established. Just as long as the
money OF the tax payers OF this state
is SO foolishly expended in the estao-
lishment and construction of county
roads, it will be an impossibility TO
ever arouse sufficient interest among
the citizens of West Virginia TO take
hold of this great road question and
furnish us the means to realize the
object of our law. And | desire 20
state, as the head OF the engineering
department of roads of this state,
that l do not ask the tax payers to
furnish money TO be expended upon
the county roads as long as it is be-
ing expended upon improper locations
because as have stated above, | re-
gard such expenditure as money
wasted. Understand that do not
mean to say that these roads which
are still really enormously established
should be abruptly and suddenly
abolished. since / recognize ii is nee
essary that they be maintained to-
such a degree as will insure safety
in travel and meet the demands of the
public without the expenditure of any
more money than possible. but l do
mean that in the location of all roads,
from now on, the obstacles and disad-
vantages referred to in this paper be
overcome as far as practicable and by
establishing the proper location, we
will be able 10 direct all expenditure
OF time and money toward a perma
nent end.

the engineer for the display of his

The question of distance enters in
to the subject of location in two adj
verse ways: one when we seek 10
connect two points by the shortest dis
lance possible In order TO avoid I'M
necessary travel, construction and the
straightest line; and the other main
tenance-this is done by locating
when we seek to connect two points
by the greatest distance possible in
order to overcome heavy grades; this
is done by local and by what is com.

Alignment and Grade.
The importance of alignment and
grade has been sorely neglected in
county road location In this state;
so much 80. that few counties possess
any records, and no county com

roads. Why IS that? Simply because
few roads have ever been located. /

Cost Of Construction.
In as much as the cost of construc-
ton is governed very largely by the
location. it is important it be consid
cred from that point OF view. The
cost of construction consists of the
quality and quantity of material hand
led and the distance over which it Is
handled. If this be true, then by 10

 Last week the little daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. J. Callahan from Nogales, joined her parents at Mazatlan, arriving Thursday morn- ing. She was in the train which was wrecked at Selva between Carbo and Pesquiera in the early hours of Tuesday the 18th inst, and was in the Pullman sleeper which left the rails and turned over. The train men say that when she was taken out of the wrecked Pullman the little miss was as unconcerned and collected as she could have been possible had that been the usual method of discharging passengers. The car laid upon it's side and she was lifted out of one of the windows, taken to the edge and let down to the ground Fearing she might be barefoOteG and hurt her feet on cactus thorns or sticks Mr. Chal- fant asked her: Have you got on your shoes and stockings?"

At one or more of the mining camps there is church of the same faith to which Mir. Thacker ministers, going out there about once a month.
 The messengers of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express run from Nogales through to Mazatlan, a distance of about 750 miles. At Mazatlan they lay over about thirty hours, which will be shortened to twenty.four when there takes place the change in time card now pending. At Mazatlan they are provided with comfortable quarters by MT. c. Heyn the agent of the company who does everything possible for their comfort and convenience.
