THE OMAHA CENSUS
Work of Enumerators to Be Les:
Arduous Than in Past Years.

appointment of City Takers to BE
Announced shortly After New
Year's-Deputy AssessOrs
Disqualified for Jobs.

The work Of the census takers will be
less arduous during the coming year
thar has been the case in previous enum-
erations. All that the city enumerators
will have tc do will be to take the census
population in he cities. The city can
vassers will not be burdened with the work
Of gathering statistics. This work will be
left to special agents appointed directly
from Washington, who are experts in gath
ering commercial, Industrial, manufac-
turing and miscellaneous statistics.
The enumerations in the cities must be
completed within fifteen days and in the
country districts within thirty days from
the date of the beginning Of the census
taking, April |. The local takers will be
appointed shortly after January l, and VIII
be given a course Of instruction as TO their
duties. Men Of different n~ationalities will
be appointed for districts where there is a
preponderance OF foreign speaking popu-
lation.
The enumerators win be given the power
TO administer oaths and full authority to
demand whatever information may be
requisite for census purposes.
Although a number Of deputy assessors
Omaha daily bee., 1909-11-27

have applied for appointment as enumer-
ators the new census law prohibits their
employment as such. as any person holding
a state office cannot be employed as a
federal officer. The further reason is given
that deputies and assessors might be
tempted to avail themselves Of the infor-
nation gained through census taking in
furtherance of their work as assessors.
All information obtained by the anvass
ers will be held inviolate to be communi-
Gated only to the proper census author
tiles. and can only be given out through
the census department at Washington
when the census is complete and at the
discretion of the census department.

pounds and when mortared yielded
$3.50.
This gold was taken practically
from the surface of the ground, some
of it being exposed. For the past 80
years miners, prospectors and mining
experts have passed over it where it
could have been kicked. No defined
ledge matter has been developed, but
rich pockets by the score have been
found. A few weeks ago Dan Pow
ers, postmaster of Canyon City,
found a pocket that was estimated at
5000 and there is scarcely a week but
what some little strike is reported.
In 1898, at point just above where
the present strike was made, Ike Gu
ker found his famous pocket, from
which in a few days $4,000 was ta-
ken. Placer mining is in progress at
Marysville, the foot of the mountain
and those who are fortunate enough
to have the water find the most lu-
crative employment.
The government mint reports show
that since the discovery Of Canyon
creek in 1862, 10000 900 has been
taken from the district contiguous to
Canyon mountain.

CRETE AFFAIR CAUSES
CRISIS IN GREECE

Athens, Greece, July 19.-The
Greece-Cretan situation has born its
fruit and Greece is on the verge OF
international disorder that may cause
the throne of King George to totter.
Premier Throtokis and his cabinet,
repudiated by the people for their
failure to secure terms more favor
able to Greece in the Cretan negotla-
tions have resulted and the posi-
bility of setting up a strong ministry
is slight.
King George has summoned Pre-
mier Rails to take charge Of the sit
uation, but the latter is doubtful as
to the advisability of accepting the
position. He has promised to reply
on Monday.
The political situation following
the decision of the overs to with
draw from Crete and their refusal to
maintain the country in its present
status is fraught with the greatest
danger to the Grecian monarchy. The
Greek populace has insisted that the
islands demand that it be annexed
to Greece should be needed. Despite
the utmost endeavors of the Greek
statesmen 1t was impossible to ac-
complish that end and the minority
has made the most Of the failure.
The question has aroused the pop
ulace to the danger point, and unless
a strong government is placed in
power at once there seems to be no
possibility Of avoiding a civil uprls-
ing.

WAR SIGNALS FOR
NATIONAL FORESTS

Experiments will be made during
the summer with the standard hello
graphs which are now used in the
war department, for signaling on the
national forests. One of these expert
ments will be on the Kanigsu nation
al forest, in Idaho, and the other
on the Stanislaus forest IN California
1t is intended to discover whether
these instruments will be of use on
national forests to report fires or
transmit other messakes in areas
where there is no quick method of
communication.
The conditions of climate and lati-
tude, as we'll as the species Of in
flammable trees in the two forests
are sufficiently different to deter
mine whether the instrument is suit
ed to some localities and not to 9TH
ers.
Easy and quick communication to
all parts of a forest must be had If
fire is to be kept down. Anyone who
knows of the fearful damage wrought
by forest fires on private and unpro-
tected lands each year, will easily see
that through fire patrol use of tele-
phone lines and other means Of COM
munication such as is maintained on
the 1876 million acres contained in
the national forests, the losses can
be reduced to a minimum.
For the administration and pro-
lection Of the 14S national forests in
nineteen states and territories and
Alaska, the government spent $2,-
526, ,0S9.02, or about one and one
half cents an acre for the calendar
year 1908. OF this amount $592,-
1913 was spent for permanent i'm
provements, including the construc-
ton of S4OO miles of trails, 100 miles
of wagon roads, 1900 miles Of tele-
phone lines and forty miles of fire
lines.
