WRONG ON CENSUS
Director DuPand RefuteS
Newspaper Figures.
BASED ON OLD ESTIMATES
Mortality Statistics for
zoos Recently Published He De-
cIarcs, 'Give Estimates Of POpu-
Iation for 1910, and These Are
WrongfuIIy Used by NewsPaPers."

Census Director Durand stated yester-
day that any report appearing in any
newspaper to the effect that the Census
Bureau has received any advance returns
Of the census Of 1910, or has given out
any information regarding the popula-
ton of any place, based on the returns
of the enumerators. is wholly without
foundation,
"Such premature and unauthorized
publications OF population totals which
are appearing at this time in certain
newspapers are absolutely false and mis-
leading, and those newspapers are aware
of the fact" said Mr. Durand- 1t is
well known that in the Census Bureaus
mortality statistics for 1895, recently pub
lished. there appears provisional esti-
mates of population on June /. 1910, Of
States and cities. in which is called the
death registration area Of the United
States. and also of death registration
cities in nOnregistratiOn states.
Report Cautions Public.
Abundant cautions are contained in
the report, showing the absolutely pro-
visional character Of the estimates. and
il is much 10 be regretted that certain
newspapers are seeking TO make it ap-
pear that these figures are based upon
the actual returns from the enumera-
ton which has been completed in the
cities Of the country, but is still in
progress I'm the rural areas.
THE Census Bureau has for years
made mathematical estimates Of the pop
ulation for June ] Of each year. This
estimate is made often one or two years
in advance. II is solely for the use OF
the boards Of health of States and cities
which wish TO calculate as nearly as pos
sible the death rate. The number of
deaths is determined by the estimated
population.
Method of Deduction.
The method Of estimating the popula-
ton is to take the returns Of 1900 and
add for each year a percentage Of in
crease equivalent to the rate of increase
during the period from 1890 to 1900. Fig
ures for the year 1910 were published
some months ago. They did not purport
IN any way to represent the returns Of
the 1910 census. As there is every rea-
son 20 believe that in many cases the
rate Of increase from 1890 10 1910 has
been considerably more or considerably
less than the rate Of increase from 1890
to 1900. this mathematical estimate of the
population for 1910 may prove decidedly
different from the correct figures"
The Director asserted again that the
returns Of the actual enumeration would
10, -,
or any State for some weeks to come.
and that no preliminary estimate of any
sort would be given until the actual
completion Of the final count for a given
city or state.

good citizens for the sake Of revenge or glory,
and adding that 1t was not unusual for him to
put the said citizens in Jail or In box cars,
declaring further that he sometimes hitched
them to posts with chains and that he was
menace to legitimate settlement and society
in general.
Mcdonald looked over some Of these docu-
ments and grinned.
That's so, Jim," he said, II do put 'em
in box cars when there amt jail; the way
used to do back in Mineola-you recollect
when the Jail was ful-and l lariat 'em out

Hogg nodded.
Those Endorsements are good enough for
me-" he said. They carry the flavor of con-
viction. I appoint you Ranger captain on the
strength Of them"
Mcdonald returned to Quanah with his ap-
pointment as captain of Company B, Frontier
battalion" The headquarters of the company
were then at Amarillo, in the southern part Of
Potter county, near the Randall county line.
This was almost the exact center of the Pan
handle and in locality sparsely settled, un-
tanned and lawless.
Since the early days Of Ranging" there
had not been much change in Ranger regula-
work, however. had changed and the force
had been reduced in numbers. Company B
now consisted Of only eight members all told.
These were supposed to range over all that
vast section known as the Panhandle and were
subject to orders that might take them to any
other portion of the state where their assist
ance was needed.
1t was in January, 1891, that Bill Mcdonald
received his appointment as Ranger captain
and his first official service was not long de-
layed. He arrived at Amarillo about midnight
and was received with congratulations, for the
news had travelled ahead Of him. He was tired
however, and the hour was late, so he pres
emily slipped away to bed. He had hardly
fallen asleep when he was rudely awakened
and handed a telegram which stated that the
Indians had made raid across the border
and were killing and robbing in Hall county,
near Salisbury.
Capt. Mcdonald read the telegram and
laughed. There had been no Indian troubles
in Texas for a number of years. White rene
gades there were in plenty, but Indian out
breaks had long since ceased.
II guess the boys are trying to have some
fun with me on my first night" he said and
turned in once more to sleep. But few min
utes later another telegram came; and an
other; this time from the superintendent Of
the railroad company-a Mr.. Good, whom Nc
Donald knew as man not given to practical
joking.
The Ranger captain dressed himself, hur-
ried over to the telegraph Office and got the
operator there to talk over the wire to the
operator where the scare had originated. He
learned that it seemed to be genuine and that
everybody was leaving the neighborhood.

Aenoers out sometimes with the very people
wnom they were hoping to protect. This made
the work hard and discouraging, as work al
ways Is hard and discouraging when it is done
amid enemies who wear the guise of friends
For this kind of service Capt. Bill Melon
ala was eminently qualified. Already he had
peen appointed special Ranger in Company
3, commanded by Capt. S. A. McMurray but
his duties as U. S. deputy marshal in No-Man's
Land and In the Cherokee strip had been his
chief work. Nevertheless he had, on OCCASION
engaged in bandit hunting in his own state
during this period, either alone or in company
with other officials, usually with good results
Events OF this sort kept Bill McDonald's
name fresh in the Texans minds and made
him seem peculiarly eligible for regular SER
vice. The resignation of Capt. S. A. McMur-
ray, who had long and bravely commanded
company b, became his opportunity and he
hurried to Austin to try for that command

Follow th1e advice.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods:
It is also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof. Fisher of Yale University
and Sir James Crichton BrowneI
LID, FRS. of London spend the
best part Of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and Strengthening qualities of differ.
ent foods, it is certain that their ad.
vice IS absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex.
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Oats. The powers of endur-
ance Of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.

eat it frequently. 50
