WRONG CENSUS VIEWS

Letters from the census supervisors

considerable element of the population
that their sn swers to the enumeratOrs
questions in the next census beginning
April Is. this wear. will cause increas-
ed taxation legal entanglements. or
injurious consequ snces to their persons
and property
In order to quiet such unfounded
fears. which would. unless removed
materially affect the accuracy of the
census the bureau has prepared an
official statement relative to the
decennial census its origin purpose
and uses
This statement should furnish com.

that information give the enumeI ator

The bureau earnestly hopes that
clergymen. priests, physicians. school
teachers, employers. and other public
spirited ciizens who come in contact
with large numbers of peop lie, will CO.
operate with the bureau by telling
persons who are believed to entertain
erroneous opinions of the census the
real acts and urging them to give full
repiies TO the enumerators. Teachers
are particularly requested to speak of
the census to the school children and
ask them TO tell their parents about 1t.
The statement issued by the bureau
explains that the constitution requires
census of the population to be taken
every ten years in order to reappor
tion state representation in the
national house of representatives. 1t is
the means also to ascertain the in
crease in the population. agriculture,
industries. and resources of the
nation since tee last census.
1t is emphaticalllv declared. by the

England and in America the saloon is
in politics, at will always be found
to occupy position i'll opposition to
the welfare of the masses from which
it looks for patronage. The saloon as a
feature in economic life is baneful. No
matter what the brewers and distilers
may say i'll pledging their support the
saloons are the first to try TO reacn the
authorities and 10 defeat the ends of
justice. Civic endeavors to lessen the
saloon evil inevitably encounters an

These straight from the shoulder dec

ONLY ONE MAN SAVED
Thirty Persons Perish in Wreck
on Oregon Coast

Marshield, Ore, Jan. 14.-Another
tragedy Of the sea has been written
into the record of marine disasters on
the North Pacific coast through the
loss of thirty lives in the wrecking of
the iron steamer Czarina on the north
spit of the Coos Bay bar.
Harry Kentzell, first assistant en-.
gineer of the wrecked steamer, is the
only living testimonial to heroic efforts
made by the United States l%ifesaving
crew and citizens of Marshfield to help
the doomed ships company.
Kentzells escape is a wonderful
story of mans endurance and physical
strength. A tremendous sea swept the
ship and Kentzell was washed from
his place in the rigging. He was
swept toward land, but time and again
he was carried out to sea by shifting
currents. He managed to get hold of
a piece of timber and was slowly
driven shoreward.
