TOTAL POPULATION IS
ABOUT NINETY MILLIONS

According to advices from Wash
ington it will be about the middle
of October before the people of
the United States learn their true
number as revealed by the count
Of the thirteenth census. 1t is
generally believed that the number
will be about 80, 100000 and census
officials are known to share this
belief.
About 300 of the more than 1900
clerks in the census office are COM
piling population figures only,
while the others are working on
other statistics. Contrary to the
general opinion, all the counting
of the people is done by hand, the
tabulating machines being used
only in classifications as to race, sex
and other conditions.
Enumeration figures will con-
tinue to be given out day by day
for the next two months or more,
3ile the sociological and industrial
hgures will come later. All en-
umeration figures are counte d
three to four times, and an
Investigation is ordered if there is
any suggestion of an error. In two
cities evidence of fraud has been
discovered, and in one-Great
Falls, Mont.-a prosecution has
been undertaken for fraudulent
enumeration.
The intention of Director
Durand is to tabulate first the
population of the large cities,
after which the figures for tie
states will be given out as they are
a5certained, the returns for all
counties in the state being en-.
nounced at the same time as the
figures for the state.
