WH|R[W|ND CENSUS CAN :
VAS To START MONDAY
Special Enumerators Will Help Census
Man and Work Will Have Official Re-
sults--Enumerators Assigned to Each
Block in City---Count Ends Tuesday

Beginning at o'clock Monday eve-'
ming, May 16, and closing at o'clock
whirlwind canvass of all that part
Of the city of Wenatchee lying north
of Orondo will be made under the d.
rection of the census committee of
the commercial club.
At a meeting of this committee a
list of members were assigned a resi-
dent block, which block this member
will canvass between the hours of 6
and s. In some cases more than one
block has been given to one MEM
Der, but in no case has anyone been
assigned territory not including his
own block with others, believing as
the committee does that a resident
should know his own block better
than one from the outside.
Blanks will be furnished these spe-
cial scouts on Monday, and members
of the committee will be at the Com
mercial Club rooms from until 8
to answer any telephone calls of in
quiry. The Office number is 1876.
All Who Were Overlooked.
In making this canvass it is desired
that the names of only those be taken
who believe they have been missed
by the governments enumerator. An
especial effort should be made to see
that help employed in the homes or
about the places be taken as these
are the most liable to be skipped. The
rules of the census require that all
persons should be taken at the place
where they were living on April Is,
1910, but if any people are now. liv-
ing in the district 1T is planned to
cover on Monday night but were at
some other place on the 18th of
April and were not taken, the special
scout of the commercial club canvass
should take the name and the 18th
of April address.
After the Bachelors.
The hours of to s have been Sc
lected because it was believed that
more people would be at home at
that time Especially is this true of
persons boarding or rooming with
other families. This is the class who
are easiest missed, and any person
having either boarders or roomers
should make a special effort to OBJ
tain and have ready list Of the
names of such persons. Give every
assistance to the commercial club
scouts II you are certain that there
is no one at your house whose name
has not been taken by the govern
ment enumeration, Mr.. Keith, all that
will be necessary when the scout calls
is to tell him that everyone has been
listed and he can go on to the next
place.
Census Closes Tuesday.
Mr.. Keith, whose territory will be
covered by this special campaign, is
now practically through with his cam
vass, and has consented to hold his
schedules over Tuesday to check up
all names reported Monday night. For
this reason the committee has asked
that all names found by the special
scouts as not having been counted be
brought or sent in to the Office of
the secretary of the club Monday eve
ming or early Tuesday morning. The
government schedules must be re-
turned Tuesday night and an early
report will be necessary.
Jack O'Connor Had a Few.
Yesterday Enumeration Keith in
vaded the realms of Jack O'Connor,
north of Orondo below the tracks
With the assistance of Jack O'Connor
over a hundred names were secured,
and many more names obtained from
other contractors.
InSC0O I'm the JOD.
Chief of police is one of the spe-
cial enumerators for Monday night,
and persons finding him knocking at
their front doors need feel no occa-
sion for alarm. The chief will get
them for ten years instead of 80 days,
but it will be all right.
Tag, You're 1t.
Tag, you're it" is the game that
will be played in Olympia for the
same purpose as the special canvass
here. A big street celebration is to
be held that will have special induce
ments to bring everyone into town.
Committees on every street corner
will question everyone and pin a
badge on the victims when they are
through. In that way they hope to
get a line on who were missed.
Special Committee.
Following is the special committee
list for Monday:
