al any OF the per capita rates established,
Classification of Rates.
In this connection the director has is
sued to the census supervisors IA detailed
statement OF the classification OF rates
ators In the thirteenth census, commenc-
Ing April Is next.
There are three general rates-the per
capita. the mixed. and the per diem.
The first and second general rates have
five subdivisions each.
The per diem rates range from SO 20
$3.50, 81. $3.50, 50. $500. and So, and
are TO be paid for day Of eight hours
work.
For enumerators on the per capita ba-
sis, which VIII be that most widely used.
the pay for each inhabitant Is: Glass, y;
cents, class b, y cents; class c, 9
cents; class ID, 81 cents. and class E. 4
cents. Such enumerators will also be paid
for each farm as follows: Class \ 20
cents; class d, 271 cents. and class f.
80 cents These rates are in each case
cents or more higher than those paid
in 1900, when the range was from 10 to
ductive industry the rate for each class
Is 80 cents. For each barn and Enclosure
containing livestock. not on farms. the
pay Is 10 cents for each class.
Under the mixed rate. which is a COM
bination OF the per capita and the per
diem. there are five subclasses alphabet
Class F. 81; G, si.25 Ii, $50; i, sl.75;
and ]. 50. For each inhabitant the pay
is Class f. cents; G, p cents: II, u
cents; 1, % cents. and ], cents: For
cents; H. ia cents, and j, 20 cents
each. For each establishment of produc-
tive industry the rate is 90 cents for each
class.
Questions and Answers.
1t has been conservatively estimated
that each enumerator must ask thirty
five legitimate questions of every per
son whom he enrolls. Allowing five
additional questions for repetitions and
explanations the enumerator will ask
everybody forty questions. If the cen
Gus shows that Utah has half million
people, which is quite likely, the emu
merators will ask 20,000,000 questions.
Each of these questions contain an
average of twenty words, or 400.000,0 900
words Each word having approximate
ly FIVE letters, the total involved is p
600 10000 letters, which will have to
be spoken, mumbled, written or
scrawled. Did you ever try to ask 90
100000 ouestions3 No? Well, don It
try it; you II make bad finish.
Some of the legitimate questions that
will have to be asked viii include the
name of each inhabitant, place and
date OF birth, relationship to the head
of the family color, sex, age, conjugal
condition, place of birth of parents,
number of years in the United States,
citizenship, occupation, whether or not
employer or employee, and, if employee,

deed. This is especially true of Utah,
where hundreds of towns are now where
none was before, and where mining
camps and agricultural settlements have
come into being almost without limit.
About the Farms.
The forthcoming census will be of
peculiar Importance and benefit. be-
cause it will cover the agricultural con-
ditlons more fully than ever before has
been attempted Indeed, particular
stress is laid upon the Importance Of
getting everything that is get-at-able
about farms and farmers, and oats and
wheat and barley and peaches and
cream. Horses and cows and sheep
and hogs and barns and sheds and
fences will be written down with an
eye TO the accuracy OF detail
Looking backward. the figures com
piled in the dim past show that, in
1901, this state had 1851 farms. At
least, that was the number reported to
later the number was 21,7S0 The
state statistician at this time estimates
that the number of farms in Utah will
reach $4,000, which is taken to be a
conservative estimate.
Enormous increases will be shown,
too, In mines and the mining industry
generally, and in all lines of manufac-
ture. The latter branch, especially, will
have some surprises In store for the
man who makes comparisons. for, when
the census of 1900 was taken manu-
featuring in Utah was in about the
same condition as the orange groves on
top Of Mount Mckinley are.
What the Last Figures Show.
Still looking backward, these figures
will be valuable for the purpose of
comparison. They show the population
of incorporated cities in Utah.

others have been.
The many remarkable cures beinp
made by the new science of Chiro-
practlc arc attracting attention all over
the civilized world. Without the use
of medicines of any kind; without the
aid of surgical instruments. in fact
without the aid of any artificial means,
this wonderful science is making thou,
sands of sick people well each month,
The principle upon which Chiroprac.
tic works is that of adjusting the spine
SO that the nerves which pass through
the spinal column on their way to the
separate parts of the body NAV be free
from all impingements and be able TO
properly perform their duties. 1t is a
well known fact that separate nerves
control the stomach, the kidneys, the
liver and other organs of the body. If
these nerves are pinched while passing
along the spinal column it is only nat,lr-
al that the organ controlled by that
nerve will be affected, This explains
why medicines fail in many cases To
give relief-and also why Chiropractic
makes permanent cures.
Chiropractic requires no medicines
and no operations. 1t is system of

HITS JERSEY FIRE LAWS
Labor Commissioner on Stand at
Newark Inquiry.

After delay of ten days, caused by the
Illness Of Prosecutor Mott, the coroner's S
jury resumed yesterday its inquiry into the
Newark factory fire in which twenty-five
girls met death. General Lewis T Bryant,
State Commissioner of Labor, testified that
he did not have power enough to place ade-
ouate safeguards on buildings. The Prose
cutor asked him what he thought of the
law in regard TO safeguards on buildings.
and he replied that he thought the law was
very weak in this respect Reference to the
'farcical' character of the law was made
by the Prosecutor, and the witness was
asked if il did not seem absolutely worth
less. General Bryant answered that the
law could be amended to advantage.
William P. ORourke. Superintendent OF
Buildings of Newark. was a witness. He
stated that in 1907. after inspections by his
department. he notified the owner of the
High street building to make extensive
changes for the purpose of providing bet
ter safeguards against fire. He notified the
owner that two more fire escapes should De
added to the one Inadequate escape, that
the platforms leading to the escapes be
made wider, and that all the doors in the
buiIding he made to open outward.
..Soon after | sent that notice said the
witness. Il was notified by an inspector
of the state Factory Department that the
matter was out of the hands of our de-
partn,ent and that we had no further Juris-
dicticn."
Captain c. Albert Gasser, chief of the
Newark Bureau of Combustibles, testlned
that the High street building was IN
clean condition, SO far as the storage OF
easolene. naphtha and other inhaIlihaple
things was concerned.

THE CHRISTMAS TRUNK.

Substitutes for Christmas trees must ever
be lacking in picturesqueness, and children
cannot be expected to be satisfied with any
thing but the genuine article, even if it is
expensive and if it does shed pine needles
on the parlor floor. But grown-ups may
find a substitute fairly satisfactory. One
which has been used successfully for sew
eraI years by a, family which considers
itself too grown-up for a tree Is called
Santa Claus's trunk
1t Is made from a sf1irtwaist box covered
with red crepe paper and ornamented on
the cover with a big holly wreath or ever
green's and big red bow. When the trunk
has been put in place the night before
Christmas each member of the family
makes q pilgrimage to it when one is
watching and deposits therein his gifts for
all the family and friends who to be
present. Each package is labelled with
the name of the recipient. and 1T is not
fair fer any one to inspect even the labels
when he is putting in presents for the
others.
On Christmas morning. as soon as the
guests arrive and before it is time to
arrange for the monday feast, the COM
pany gathers to see Santa Claus's trunk
unpacked The youngest boy sometimes
plays Santa Claus, and sometimes this
honor is given to the favorite guest Each
package is drawn from the Christmas box
and it's outer wrappings are admired until
the gift itself comes to light Then the
whole company admires it dutifully, while
Santa Claus hunts behind the cover of the
trunk for present for some one who had
not yet had one.

nifty 1t is true that some of the new
tea gowns, like some of the most aesthetic
gowns for formal social functions, cannot
be worn by every woman. since they de-
mand grace and a good figure. Short
stout little women will always do well TO
keep to the ancient fluffy style. for in
these they have their own peculiar charm
of winsome softness, and they could never
look like Greek goddesses if they tried
ever so hard.
One thing that has contributed to the
simplicity of tea gowns-as it has to that
of other gowns as WELLS the richness Of
the materials used. One worn 'on the
stage in Paris recently was of rose satin
covered with gold lace and trimmed at the
bottom with fur. Over this robe, which
was absolutely simple in cut, with an En-
pire bodice and V shaped neck, was a long.
straight. sleeveless coat of green chiffon
embroidered with gold and bordered with
green satin. Probably few would care to
go in for such magnifcence as this, but
the model is one that can be successfully
developed in almost any kind of soft
ming to give it dignity.
