Director Preparing Final
Statement Relative to
Alleged Frauds.
SCHEDULES ARE NOT
MATERIALLY PADDED
Gross OveT-Enumeration Easily De-
tected BY Experts, Says
Bureau Chief.

Census Director Durand today is pre-
pairing formal statement Of the ma
uonal enumeration Of the population
which he hopes viii reassure the public
that. aside from the few instances il
which frauds have been detected, there
mas nowhere been any material over
enumeration Of the population.
The director has been considerably
annoyed bv rumors that have reached
his ears Every mail brings inquiries
concerning the result OF expected re-
enumerations- Since publicity first was
given TO the frauds Of the enumeratOrs.
who are now being run to earth by ex-
perts from the bureau. the impression
has grown that the whole census is
grossly erroneous and that the stupen-
dous work would have TO be done over
again Standing far to the fore of this,
however. is the anxious inquiry that
has been received from numerous cities.
What is our real population
His Final Word
Director Durand's plan is 10 settle this
vexing question for once and for all b.
the formal statement which will be
made public tnis evening Meanwhile
the details are being withheld
The head OF the Census Bureau said
this morning however, that his state
ment would in the main set forth brief
~ all the details Of the system by which
the population schedules from all places
are verified by his force of experts
'Once people learn how Impossible Il
Is 10 pad the census TO any material eZ-
tent without detection" he said, they
probably viii entertain no doubt as TO
the schedules that already have with
partment A gross over-enumeratiOn
anywhere can easily he detected by the
average death rate at the given place.
IF, for example, we find at any place
an enormous Increase in the population.
and upon turning 10 the death rate Of
the particular place, which is generally
constantly under our observation, we
ind in the schedules an indication Of
an enormous decrease in the death rate
we are Justified in making a thorough
investigation, as we invariably do n
such instances.
Not Mere Suspicion.
I'VE never go TO any great length on
mere suspicion, though. We Il mean our
experts have many ways Of deter.nin-
Ing the reliability Of the schedules sent
IN by the enumeratOrs, and IL is safe
20 say that it is practically impossible
for anybody to impose on US to any
great extent"
The director reiterated his declaration
Of yesterday that there viii be not the
slightest Interference with the census
results that already have been an
nounced.
''There is no occasion TO do So he
argued. for we are absolutely certain
they are substantially correct every
where in the United States except in
the few cities which are now under a
most searching investigation"

experts in Seattle and Minneapolis viii

How Matches Are Made.

Certain kinds OF matches are shaved
with the grain from sawed blocks;
others are cut both ways by saws. In
still further varieties the blocks are
boiled to make them cut easily. BY
some machines a boiled or steamed
log is revolved on its own axis, and a
shaver the thickness of a match is
cut round and round. This shaving
Is at the same time cut into lengths
and split into match sticks. It may
be said that there is hardly limit
to the varieties of methods employed.
Round matches are made by forcing
them through dies-Harper's Weekly.

Gone to Rest.

Alfred j. Anderson, the oldest son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. A. M. Anderson, died
Wednesday night, Aug. 31st, 1910.
The news of the death of Alfred An
derson, when made known to the COM
munity Thursday morning, was sur
prise and very much of shock to all
who knew him.
A young man in his prime and of a
rugged constitution to be taken in
such short notice evinces the great
uncertainty of life.
He had been employed by Swanson
Bros. threshing outfit and was at their
home when taken sick. On Tuesday, the
day before his death, he suffered a Sc.
we're headache which he supposed
would pass away after a nights sleep,
but became worse the next day and
summoned DR.. Brastad of Oakes. who
came to the Swanson home and found
him seriously i'll and brought him home
to his parents. He grew steadily
worse and died about twelve O'Clock
that same night.
Alfred was known as an unusual
noble, good, true and earnest character.
He was quiet and unassuming and was
of great comfort in his home.
He was born Dec. 22nd, 1888, on a
farm about two miles southeast OF
Glover. He was graduate from the
Dickey county common schools.
Deceased is survived by his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. M. Anderson, two
brothers, Hjalmar and Arthur and by
four sisters Mary, Louise, Lena and
Clara.
Interment was made in the Glover
cemetery, Friday afternoon. Services
were conducted by Rev. H. Moe of
Oakes.
The entire community extend their
utmost sympathy to the bereaved
family.

taken away, blessed be the name Of
the Lord"
