StOrch Commissioned


A. NJ. Storch of this place has re-
ceived his commission as supervisor
of the census Of the. third district OF
Washington together with brief in
structions concerning the thirteenth
census and his duties as a supervisor
thereof.
This district comprises over half
of the area of the state. being Okla
hogan, Ferry. Stevens, Lincoln,
Grant, Douglas. Chelan, Kittitas,
Yakima, Benton Walla Walla, Frank
lin. Adams. Whitman, Columbia,
Garfield and Asotin counties, and has
over one-third of the population of
the state. the first district having a
population of 1886, the second
14s,041 while the third has 1861
as shown by the last census
Full instructions have not as yet
been received by Mr.. Storch but so
far the instructions indicate that the
first work will be that of sub-divid-
ing the third district into enumerat-
ors' districts, and later the supervisor
will recommend the appointment of
enumerators for these districts, but
as this act must be approved by the
director Of census 1t is probable that
the commissions will not be issued
to enumerators for some time.
Considerable speculation seems to
be INDUCED in as to who will be at
the head of the county census and
also as to the special agents who
must take the civil service examina-
ton. AS before stated the full i'll
structions in these points have not
arrived but what have come would
indicate that there will be no county
supervisors but that the enumerators
will report directly to the district su-
pervisor and while later advice from
Washington may direct that the SUI
pervisor take charge of special agents
and examinations for same, yet at
this time no such instructions have
been received
Teh actual work of enumeration
will begin April Is. 1910, and will
continue for 80 days except as 10
cities of 5000 people and up. which
must be completed within Is days
from the above date
The census will cover population,
including color. sex, conjugal rela-
ton, place of birth, birth of parents,
occupation, etc, but shall also give
schedules as to agriculture, manu-
factories, mines and quarries.
Compensation for the enumerat-
ors' work will range from two to
four cents for each inhabitant, from
20 to 80 cents for each farm and
other industry in proportions; or the
enumeration may be compensated at
the rate of from SO to Sc per day
for the time actually used for this
work.-Okanogan Independent.
