Territorial Supervisor Re turns From Visit to Den
 yer Convention
WILL PAY PEOPLE
 SIX DOLLARS DAY
As Yet Gila County Has Not Filed Any Applications
 for Positions

After a trip which embraced the con vention of census supervisors in Den yer and which took in ten counties of this territory, F. F. Towle, census sup ervisor for Arizona, returned to this city Tuesday evening.
 While the trip kept MT. Towle on the jump for the greater part of the time and was somewhate tiresome, he accomplished much and is well satis. fled with it's outcome. He gained many valuable pointers at the Denver conveD- ton, secured permission to take the 1.-Two stock census throughout the territory as a part of the regular enumeration work and placed himself in close touch generally with the people of this terri tory who are interested in the taking of the thirteenth United States census.
 Something like one hundred applica- tiOns have already been made to Mr. Towle for positions as enumerators. $ far these applications have come from other counties than Gila. however, and the first application for one of these pc sitions is yet to be made from a resi- dent of this district.
 Through hard work, however, Mir. Towle has succeeded in securing from the department of commerce and labor, permission to pay enumerators in the outlying districts at the rate of SC per day As the result, when the informa ton regarding the new wage scale be- comes known, 1t is probable that there will be little difficulty in securing men for these positions.
 "I did not ask for the position of census supervisor of this territory, said Mir. Towle yesterday. "but since the census bureau saw fit to put me in charge of this work, am going 10 carry it out in way that will give Arizona the most complete census she ever had, if hard work and enthusiasm can accomplish this end.
 "What we need, however, in order that the coming census may be proper " carried out, is competent enumera- tors. As yet I have not received a single application from any one in Gila county. There seems to be mistaken idea prevalent regarding this work, an idea that there is something mysterious about census taking.
 'I will say right now that the work is not difficult. Enumerators must pos sess fair education, it is true, and they must be careful and energetic as well, but with these qualifications, and with determination to do the work properly. census taking is not at all difficult.
 "'In the outlying districts, enumera- tors will be paid at the rate of $6 per day and will be expected to meet their own expenses. Tn this city and in other cities throughout the territory as well, they will be paid at the rate of cents per name and at that figure, it will be easy enough to earn as much money as will be paid to those who work in the rural districts.
 "We have thirty days in which to complete the taking of the census, be- ginning with April fifteenth. Between this time and the opening of the census taking, enumerators will be given thor ough instructions regarding the work and the entire plan, including that of taking the stock census, will be com pletely explained.
 CT wish to urge on those who feel competent to perform the duties of census enumerators, to send in to me their applications and to do So at once. There is no red tape about securing these I0sitiors. The test is simple and can be easily understood by any one possessing ordinary qualifications. Some thing Ike l5J positions are still open and they sh0ud be filled within short time As far as possible, I want to ap- point cnumerators from the districts in which they expect to work.
 Communications should be address. ed to me at Globe and they need not be formal.
 Mr. Towle is taking an unusual amount of interest in the coming census and from the manner in which he has taken hold of the work, his desire to give Arizona the best census she ever had will not meet with disappointment.
