Many other Queries.
Beside these the people in the irrigation
states will be asked 90 questions concern
ing tne irrigation of their land. There
VIII also be IL questions asked by the city
enumefators relative TO domestic animals
IN the city. In country districts 50 cues
tons will relate to agriculture.
1t Is apparent, then, that the enumera-
lots VIII nave no soft snap, and that they
VIII earn every dollar they make And
the enumerator Will ask you these cues
tons, not because he is q curious gossip,
not because he wants to Insult you. not
because ne has a personal interest in
your financial or domestic affsirs-but
simply because these questions and a lot
more just as personal and pertinent are
on the list furnished him by Uncle Sam.
This means that the enumerator has got
to ask every question on the list and that
you nave got to answer every question
he asks you. For Uncle Sam regards
this census taking as serious and i'm
tC =
him-and you-about S16,000,O00 and he in
tends to get the worth of his mOney-and
yours. II you wilfuily give false an
swers or refuse to answer he will make
II unpleasant for you. Refusal to an
swer the questions of the enumerators en-
tails arrest and fine not to exceed $3.50.
On the other hand, Uncle Sam pledges
his word that you will be none the worse
about you.
For about two weeks beginning today,
Uncle Sam Will be about the busiest man
on earth with this census work. In fact,
he is busy as can be In Salt Lake this
minute, and has been for weeks. Here
are some Of the things he has done and
IS doing and Will do because of the Thir-
teenth census in Salt Lake which is the
headquarters for the state of Utah.
Established headquarters in the Dolly
block. Appointed the following officials
TO take the count of Utah; Supervisor,
Hugh a. McAIillin; assistant supervisor,

II. P. Myton and r. NJ. Pope; special
agent on mines and manufactures, r. B.
Leach, and a number OF special agents
to look after the counting of the Indians
Selected for examination, 345 out of 453
applicants for the position O. enumerator,
and chose 2SS out of the s45 examined.
Divided the city and state into enumera-
ton districts so that the work shall be
evenly divided. Each enumerator has
been sworn in. and has received the
numerous blanks that will have to be
filled in.
Count Indians, Too.
After commencing work, the enumera-
tors will have to send by special postal
card daily report to the bureau in this
city. Should any enumerator fail TO keep
in touch daily with the local bureau, he
viii get a card from the supervisor that
will serve as a gentle reminder. The daily
reports sent in will be forwarded to
Washington, and will serve as vouchers
in determining the compensation due each
enumeratOr
Uncle Sam is going to take great pains
10 secure an accurate count OF the Indian
population. and special instructions have
been giveii to the enumerators whose dis
tricts include any of the Indian popula-
ton. In order to facilitate the work OF
the special agents who viii supervise the
count of the Indians, the census OFFICE
has prepared a map of Utah on which is
indicated the number OF Indians In each
county in the state having at least ten
Indians according to the census OF lSO-
The map also shows the location or any
Indian reservation that may be IN the
district by a shading of red
owing to the rapidly breaking up of In
dian reservations and Of tribal relations
It is probable the present census will be
the last in which a satisfactory inquiry
can be made regarding the particular
tribes to which the Indians belong. II
has consequently been decided to secure
definite and accurate returns relative to
the particular tribes TO which the In
dams belong and other Information re-
garding the Indian population.
The special agents and enumerators that
will engage in this work VIII be paid
certain amount per diem owing to the
complicated character of the work. In
the city districts where the work entails
less labor, the enumerators Will receive
go cents per capita. and ought to average
about s. daily
