HILL LINE OFFERS
FASTER MAIL
NORTHERN SUBMITS NEW
PROPOSAL TO POSTAL DEPART
MENT, AGREEING TO MAKE So
HOUR RUN FROM CHICAGO.

Great Northern officials have noti-
fed the postoffice department that it
will meet the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul's offer to transport mails
from Chicago to Seattle in Sc hours.
This is cut of six hours in the ori-
ginal time proposed by the Great
Northern.
According to the new proposal of
the Hill line, a mail and express train
will be sent out of Chicago at 10 a.
m. leaving St. Paul at s a. m. the
following day and arriving in Seattle
at a. m. Sc hours after it leaves
Chicago.
1t is planned by the Great North
ern to operate a fast mail train of
FIVE cars. three of them given up to
mail and two to express. The four
year mail contract alone is estimated
to be worth $7,000,000 and the fast
express business would run the fig
ures far above that total.
Great Northern officials, in sub
mitting their original proposal, fig
ured that the fast mail train should
leave Chicago after the second fast
IudlI 1TOHl New IOTh, WHlCu Is uuc
in Chicago at 1920 p. m. Seventy-five
per cent of the Atlantic coast mail
destined for Seattle is handled on a
train arriving in Chicago at $3.50 a.
M and the new schedule proposes
to pull out of the western metropolis
half an hour later. The alteration IN
the Great Northern time would also
bring mail into Seattle in time to be
distributed on the morning of its
arrival.
Great Northern officials are conf
dent that they will be favored IL the
road meets the schedule of its rivals.
1t is insisted that the government
has pursued the policy of giving a
railroad which has handled mail con-
tracts satisfactorily renewal II 1t is
willing to give as good service as a
rival line.
Milwaukee Offer Unusual.
The Milwaukee's offer to make Sc
hours between Chicago and Seattle
is a remarkable undertaking for a
new line. The road has scarcely
commenced operation after an un-
usual construction feat in pushing
through to the coast If it can main
tain a Sc hour schedule the road Is
in a position to create new prece-
dent.

NEXT YEAR IS CEN
SUS YEAR
PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES
WILL SOON BE COUNTED FOR
THE THIRTEENTH TIME-EX-
AMINATIONS FOR POSITIONS.

Next year is census year, when the
people of the United States will be
counted for the thirteenth time. Pre-
parations for the organization of the
demonstrating force are already under
way. Indeed, the three-year period
officially designated as the decennial
census period, commenced the first
of last July and will close with the
last day of June, 1912. The most
active period of census taking will
not, however, commence before Aug
ust of next year.
Examinations Announced.
Examinations are announced for
applicants for positions in the census
bureaus clerical force at Washing
ton, D. c. The approximate number
of additional appointments is to be
made in the census bureau during
~ three years is 5000. Examina-
tionsxer applicants for these posi-
tions will be~held in North Yakima
and in the other regular places of
civil service examination on October
% of this year.
Announcements as TO the appoint
ment of local census enumerators
have not yet been received by the To-
cal board. These latter are the po-
sitions which will be most likely to
interest the people of this community
as Wenatchee people are rather too
far away from Washington. D. c., to
be interested in the prospects of tenn
porary appointments for work there
The Enumerator's Pay.
1t will be necessary, however, for
enumerators to be appointed for all
localities, no matter how remote from
the head of the bureau. to visit each
individual dwelling and ascertain the
names, occupations and other attri-
butes of the dwellers. The enumera.
tor Is paid from 2 to 4 cents for each
inhabitant whom he enumerates
from 20 to 80 cents for each farm, 10
cents for each barn and enclosure
containing stock, and from 20 to 80
cents for each establishment of pro-
tective industry. In subdivisions
sparsely settled, so that such remu-
neration would be insufficient, the
enumerator may be paid a fixed sum
with minimum and maximum limits
Of SO and s6 respectively. Informa.
tiOn in regard to examinations foI
appointments as enumerators have
not, however, as yet been received by
the local board of the civil service
commission.
Law provides that the thirteenth
census be restricted to inquiries con.
corning population, agriculture, man.
ufacture and mines and Quarries. This
restriction, however, is a restriction
to very wide field. The schedule
relating to population, for instance
include for each inhabitant the name
relationship to head of family, color
sex, age, conjugal condition, place ol
birth, place of birth of parents, and
a long list of other things too numer
Gus to mention, but list with which
many people have had personal ex
perience

There is no stomach specialist within

In our own community who suffer with
stomach disease of some kind, and a
