FARM CENSUS SCHEDULE
IS Been Completed and Nine
illion Copies VIII Be Printed
for Distribution.
,ashington, d. c., Nov. a.
Isus Director Durand has receiy.

faSuliSlOu, -, -, NOV L.
ssus Director Durand has receiv-
from Assistant Director William
F. Winoughby the genrai schedule
for the census of agriculture, April
18th next, which Mr. Willoughby, in
conjunction with Prof. lie Grand
Powers, chief statistician for agri-
culture, and the advisory board of
farm economists and other agricul-
tural experts, has been formulating
during the summer.
Director Durand has approved the
form and subdivision OF the inquir-
les and has ordered nine million
copies of the schedule to be printed
by the government printing office in
readiness before January LIST, al
though they will not be placed in
the hands of the 5000 farm enum-
orators until the usual time before
the enumeration date. 1t is believed
there are nearly seven million sep
arate farms in the United States
each requiring separate schedule
The schedule is printed on both
sides of single sheet, 13 inches
long and 16 inches wide, of white
paper, 26 by 32 inches. There is a
three inch wide column of instruc-
tons to enumerators on both left
sides of the sheet so that it can be
Tn cob. Il In "a
has been returned to the census bu-
reau. This makes the schedule small
er in size and better adapted for
handling in tabulation than previous
schedules. A separate book of in
structions to enumerators supple
ments the schedule information.
The nine million copies will con-
sumo $500 reams of paper, which,
counting 80 pounds to the ream, Will
make weight of 234 goo pounds.
The charge for printing, including
the cost of paper, will be $l3,660.
The schedule is so standardized that
ii will feed on the perfecting press

flee, which makes 5000 revolutions
per hour and prints four schedules
each revolution, or q product Of So
geo per hour, as against the old flat
bed presses used on the 1900 sched-
ules with a speed Of from 1900 to
500 revolutions per hour. 1t will
take about three weeks to print
them with the press running sixteen
hours day.

FREE LUNCH FOR PASSENGERS.
Extra Charge for Ride in Buffet
Observation Car Gives Some
thing for Nothing.

Portland, Ore, Nov 27:--An in
noVation in electric railway trans
portation is about to be tried on an
iuterurban road running out of
Portland TO Salem and other Will
lamette Valley points.
Free lunch will be served on the
trains at meal time. A regular din
ing car service would be cumber-
|some, but by putting on buffet OBJ
.servation car, lunch can be served
with little Inconvenience.
Porters will serve the lunch with
out charge, the charge for observa-
ton car seats including luncheon,
so that the passenger will have the
unique experience of getting some
thing for nothing from a railroad
company.
The trolley road has recently been
completed by New York and Phila-
.delphia capital, and is already one
of the best equipped interurbah lines
in the west. Cars uniform with the
best Pullman equipment will be used
with smoking compartments, buffet
and observation platforms, affording
IAN the comforts of modern travel
even for the comparatively short
distances covered.

who has been elected president OF
the company, asserts he is not a rail-

does not desire to be interviewed on
railway subjects. The general i'm
preston is that Mr.. Tension has
been asked to act for the Santa Fe
in the purchase. This information
has come from both San Angelo and
Miles. The Miles railroad would

The Gulf, Texas and Western, it is
announced, intends to push forward

propose to connect with the Santa

The Gulf, Texas and Western would
be in a position, if the line is ex-
tended to Floydada. to serve the
Santa Fe, at the same time increas-
ing its own freight revenues. The
Texas Central, extending westward,
is likely to intersect the Santa Fe
and furnish a direct route to Central
Texas. A number of the new roads
are anxious to tap the Orient and
the Santa Fe in West Texas the adj
vantages of such connections being
considered mutual.
