GERMAN vvIEw OF PEARY.

Berlin, Sept. 1S The news that
Commander Peary also was unaccom-
panied BY white observers when he
reached the geographical point which
he took to be the pole has started the
discussion afresh regarding the claims
or Peary and Dr. Cook.
German geographers have been dis
posed throughout 70 believe the word
Of Cook and Peary, as they had no
reason to doubt the scientific compe-
teuce or sincerity Of either explorer
The newspapers consider that Com
mander Peary's friends. and possibly.
he himself, have shown too bitter feel
Ing towards Dr Cook. feeling which,
they say, is neither sportsmanlike, Sc

had costly bar fixtures. and conducted
their "joints" in valuable business

Oklahoma a letter in which these ques-

Is public sentiment in your county

sentiment was about evenly divided IN

GET READY
FOR CENSUS
Over $4,000 EnumeratOrS
Required Oklahoma
Nnndc RID Enrrn
i'1SIS Dib AVAOe

Washington. Sept. l3.-About sixty
five thousand enumerators viii be
needed for the thirteenth decennial
census OF the United States. and also
Of Hawaii and Porto Rico, according
to estimate prepared for Census Direc-
tor Durand by Geographer Charles S.
Sloane of the census bureau. IN whose
division the enumerators' districts are
defined and fixed. This is an increase
Of about 11,0O0 over the number Of
schedule-carriers in the census Of 1900.
Director Durand points out that the
per diem enumerators in 1900, accord
ing to the provisions Of section 16 Of
the act approved March 3, 1899, were
required TO work ten hours day, but,
in the act providing for the thirteenth
and subsequent decennial censuses, the
time is fixed at eight hours day.
This reduction in the daily hours will
require an additional number Of enum-
orators in the portions of the country
in which the perdiem rates will pre-
vail.
The present census law requires that
the enumcration Of the population shall
be taken as Of the fifteenth day OF
April, 1910, and the enumerators must
forward their returns to the superyis-
ors within thirty days from the com
mencement OF the enumeration, except
that in any city having five thousand
inhabitants or more at the preceding
census, the enumeration shall be COM
pleted within two weeks.
In looking into the details of the
estimates, Oklahoma and Washington
are conspicuous, as they will call for
about 300 per cent increase over the
1900 force of enumerators.
Pennsylvania will continue in the
leadership, having slightly the largest
number of enumerators; the 1910 force
being estimated at $500 against 4,72l
in 1900 New York is second with a
probable 5000 for 1910, as compared
with 4,541 in 1900 Next will come Hi
nois, then Ohio, Texas, Missouri, M7s
sachusetts. Indiana, Michigan, Mime
sofa, and California, all needing 1000
or more enumerators each.
Noteworthy increase in population
will, in 1910, occasion about SO pei
cent increase over the 1900 force il
California, Florida, Georgia, Massachu
setts, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey
New Mexico, North Dakota Texas
West Virginia and Wyoming
There will very likely be no mate
rial increase in the number OF enum
orators for Vermont and only small
additional force of Arkansas, Iowa
Maine, Oregon, Rhode Island, Soutl
Dakota and Tennessee.
Taking up the subject by states, |
is noted that Alabama in 1900 wa
divided into 1,232 enumeration dis
tricts. The increase of population viii
not require more than 1900 districts i
1910. The average enumeration In 1870
was such that, using the same areas
more population can be counted by tn
enumerators in 1910 without exceedin
the time limit set in the census act, a
the average time required by eac
enumerator to complete his work
1900 was twenty days and four hours
A considerable increase in the nun
Der OF Arizona districts will be made
owing to the growth Of the populatio
in certain sections.
