ASK HOUSEWIVES
 TO AID IN CENSUS

Assistance from the "lady of the house" is asked by Census Enumera- tor J. B. Higgins, who is just now working in the principal residential section of Conway. In making his rounds he is under instructions to take up the houses and blocks in reg ular order as he comes to them Un- less forced to do so by very unusual circumstances, he cannot make a sec ond or third call at any house, as to do so would make it impossible for him to complete the census within the time prescribed by law It is also impossible, he states, for him to go and hunt up some other person to give him information which should be given at the house at which he calls.
 T only ask the questions which Uncle Sam requires" said Mir. Hig- gins this morning. There is nothing difficult about any of them and noth- ing which any woman cannot easily answer 1 hope, therefore, that no one will ask me to see her husband uptown or to call later when 1 come to their house. I will take up only few minutes and will retire just as soon as 1 can secure the data at each house, which 1 am required to get. l want everyone to remember also that the census enumerator is under the strictest instructions not to divulge any information whatever which he may secure"

INDIAN AFFAIRS
EXCEPTING DISPOSITION OF SUR.
FACE COAL LANDS ALL INDIAN
AFFAIRS HAS GONE OVER.

Washington, May 1S.--The bill for
the settlement of the affairs of the
five civilized tribes, except the mat
ter of the sale of the surface lands.
will go over until the next session
of congress. This was decided today
when hearings on the Mcclure
amendment for the reopening of the
rolls came to an end. The agreement
which has been reached is that dur.
ing the summer vacation the matter
Is TO be taken up at series of
conferences between the interior de.
partment. the congressional commit.
tees on Indian affairs and the chiefs
of the tribes. as a result of which
the department is to recommend to
congress the names which are to be
added to the rolls. It is also hoped
that as a result of these conferences
all other details relating to the clos.
ing up of the Indian affairs in Ok.
lahoma will be agreed upon.
lL Is still expected that congress
will settle the question of dsposing
of the surface lands at this session.
despite the earnest protests which
the Indians are making against the
provision. Their objection to the
separate sale of the surface lands
is based on the belief that such a
course would depreciate the value
of the minerals underneath.
