Great Importance to Arizona

COrding All Names and An

According TO Census Enumeration
French. who. with two assistants. is
looking after the gathering of names

regular ten-year canvas Of Uncle
Sans inhabitants. Warren now has
been completed. part cf Lowell, and
the greater portion Of the Third ward
OF Bisbee One week more. it is
expected. win finish the count.
This United States census is far
more important right At the present
time than most people think Ari-
IONA is trying hard 20 secure state
hood and one of the drawbacks is
the alleged lack OF population, the
excuse used at Washington for not
allowing Arizona admission to the
union
There have been a number of cases
reported here of people trying
10 dodge the census taker. when it
is 20 their own interest 10 have
their names enrolled. together with
every member OF their family Not
only for Bisbee and the Warren dis
trict alone. but for tle sake of the
territory it Is paramount that every
c'izen give all the Information asked
for.
Before the enumeration began a
coupon was printed in the Review
in order that anyone that would be
likely TO be absent when the cen
sus-taker called. could send in the
blank. properly filled out. and thus
avoid missing anybody This has
been done TO some extent. but most
people. disliking the idea OF answer
ing the enumerator's questions pre-
ferred TO pass the slips up, wnen ev-
cry man jack counts as it never did
before.
Many are missed in the canvass
every time the census is taken. no
doubt. but TO get as somplete a re-
turn as possible locally. persons who
have so far been neglected by the
census-taker should resurrect these
slips in a back Review, or else OBJ
tain one at this office and turn in
the blank. directing it TO tne ecensus
enumerator at the post office.
Especially in rooming OF boarding
houses is the enumerator liable to
miss a few. This was illustrated by
an incident at Fl Paso the other day.
The enumerator called at a place oc-
cupied By three or four families. He
obtained information from one fam
ily and then started TO leave Some
