WRONG VIEWS
Taken of Coming Census
and Questions

A dispatch from Washington
says: Letters from the census
supervisors to the United States
Census Bureau show the erroneous
apprehension of a considerable
element of the population that their
answers to the enumerators question
in the next census, beginning April
Is, this year, will cause increased
taxation, legal entanglements, or
injurious consequences to their
persons and property.
In order toquiet 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, pur-
pose, and uses.
This statement should furnish
complete assurance to those con-
cerned that information given the
enumerators is held by the Census
Bureau in the strictest confidence
with reference to the identity of the
informants, as required by the
policy of the bureau and command
ed by the law of the United States.
The bureau earnestly hopes that
clergymen, priests, physicians,
schooI-teachers, employers, and
other public spirited citizens who
come in contact with large numbers
of people, will cooperate with the
bureau by telling persons who are
believed to entertain erroneous
opinions of the census the real facts
and urging them to give fullreplies
to the enumerators. Teachers are
particularly requested to speak of
census to the school children and
ask them to tell their parents about
it.
The statment issued by the
bureau explains that the Constitu-
ton requires census of the popu-
lation to be taken every ten years
in order to reapportion state repre-
sentation in the National House of
Representatives. 1t is the means
also to ascertain the increase in the
population, agriculture, industries,
and resources of the nation since
the last census.
1t is emphatically declared, by
the statement, that the information
sought from the people of the
United States is used solely for
general statistical purposes 1t will
neither be published nor used in
any other way to disclose facts
regarding an Individual or enter
prise. The census, it goes on to
say, is not, never has been, and
can not be employed to obtain
information that can be used in any
way in the assessment of property
for purposes of taxation or the
collection of taxes, either national
state, or local. or for deportation
proceedings, extradition measures
army or navy CONSUMPTION, inter
nal-revenue Investigations, compul
sorry school attendance, child-labol
law prosecutions, regulations, or il
any way to affect the life, liberty
or property of any person.
1t points out that replies to tn,
enumerators are and must be helc
by the Census Bureau in strict anC
absolute confidence. Allthe bureau
officials, supervisors, supervisors
clerks, enumerators, and interpre
tiers; before entering upon thei
duties, are obliged to take a solemn
oath not to disclose any inforna
ton they may obtain, except to thu
Census Bureau, and a violation o
the United States law in regard t.
this oath means ST 900 fine G.
Imprisonment for two years, or boil
in the discretion of the court.

AN OFFICIAL DENIAL

The telegram appearing in the News Miner from the Cordova Alaskan to the effect that the Democratic nomina- ting committee had endorsed the can didature of Ed. s. Orr is a baseless fab- rication.
 The undersigned members of the nominating committee of the Demo- cractic party know nothing of any such endorsement. There is only one mem Der of the committee resident in Cor dova, Judge Ostrander, and he is not authorized to make any statement which would lead the public to believe that the nominating committee had departed from their original decision to endorse neither of the candidates.

N, C. co, DOING
 MUCH BUILDING

Following the arrival of W. H. Fair banks, general manager of the North ern Commercial Company, who re- mained here but two or three days before leaving for the Panama, marked activity has been noted on the part of the company workmen in this city, and at the same time, the. assurance is given out that the company has made arrangements to To- cste definitely here and to establish it. Self on a large scale.
 In fact the foundations of the com pany buildings were started early last week in the tract owned by them or the trading post, the same to be a large two-stOry affair on the corner of First and Richmond facing north, ans to occupy the site of the temporary warehouse which they have just dis mantled. This building will have frontage of 30 feet on First street, and will run along Richmond for distance of 80 feet. On the rear will be joined a storeroom 24-40 feet.
 The upper floor of the main building will be devoted to living quarters for employees of the company. There will be large sitting room, four bedrooms, a dining room, kitchen and bathrooms. The lower floor will be taken up by glass-partitioned offices, general store- room and shipping-room.
 The building at present occupied by the store on the north side of the street will be used as storeroom or warehouse, and in the rear of it, substantial dock will be built along the entire width of the N. c. tractor about 200 feet long. This work will be started in the near future and will be completed before the freezeup.
 It is impossible at the present time to get line on the amount of tonnage that the N. c. Co. will have in this city this fall as the future possibilities of the river are still matter of ques- tion. Much of their freight still lays at Dikeman where it is being stored in the warehouses constructed there They will also have a small retail es- tablishment at that point, and John Duncan will be the agent in charge of both stations, with Bert Day local manager.
 They will, of course, make every ef- fort to land as much of their freight at Iditarod city before the freezeup as possible, as this is to be the main dis tributing point, and where they figure the volume of the business will be done

YOUNG ATTORNEY MEETS
 DISTRESSING ACCIDENT

While engaged ill chopping wood ill tue rear of his office on Rich mond street Friday morning at 9: 30 o'clock, R. E. Bigham, a young attorney recently from Tacoma, Washington, sustained painful and dangerous accident which may res ult ill the permanent stiffening of the right ankle joint.
 Tn making a full arm swing with a sharp axe, the instrument missed and struck the unfortunate young man on the inner side of the right ankle, completely severing a DOT ton of the bone, and exposing the inner section of the ankle joint. By strange coincidence the impor- tant fragments and arteries were missed, else danger of bleeding to death might have been imminent.
 He walked immediately to the office of Dr. B. F. Brooks where it was found necessary to put him un- der an anaesthetic, while the joint was given thorough treatment to prevent infection, and the frag ments of bone and tissue removed,

 According to Miss Browning's story the deal was entered into after this fashion while she wrapt in the spell of the majors eloquent description of his Southern rice fields where the festive rice birds even then carrollng gaily in the reedy marshes.
 We'll, that's about all. Miss Browning claims that she woke up in day and began to inquire about the papers of the original deal There a delay of several days and nothing stirring She began to get uneasy and started to town, only to discover that the major had sold his launch and already on his way down river
 Ferguson and Carter claim that the deal with Miss Browning made before the completion of their deal With Amaher and Crutcher They also aege that freight bills for the moving of the machinery still unpaid
 Mir. Crutcher, who is still here, claims that Major Amaker received message of the death of his father and was compelled to leave hurredly before he could make proper arrangements, and that there has been nothing done either criminal or unlawful and all will yet be we'll.

wherefore she would charge the loss to experience and the perils of the North.
 According to the story of those who were connected with the deal it is alleged that Major Amaker and Earl Crutcher were negotiating with A. B. Ferguson Fred Carter and other option holders the Glen association Flat for prospecting lay, with the privilege of talk ing over the option, in case they found the ground worthy They were to have the use of certain machin cry to be freghted up from Otter City and is alleged that the major indicated to the option holders that million dollars would be immediately available if needed to take up the option when the time Amaker and Crutcher were to put up S5O00O, if they liked the ground
 While these negotiations pending and it is alleged before the agreements drawn up between Amaker ct al. and Ferguson ct al., the two former began scouting around for money. The machinery coming up the river and they needed small trife of filthy lucre to pay the freight.
 This is the point where Miss Browning's kindly in tentions get into the wool of the story.
 It is alleged that the two gentlemen approached Miss Browning giving complete and ndumned description of the deal that they claimed had been en tered into, and offered to give her chance get rich

After trip of several weeks up the iditarod river during which he reached a point about l75 miles from Iditarod city, near the very headwaters of this historic stream, Ronald Morrison, one of the early pioneers of Otter creek, returned to this city last week and re- ported that the entire country up there is looking very favorable
 He reports no strikes in particular, but says that the prospects are excel lent, and that he intends to return to that section this fall. He would not advise stampeding to the headwaters of the Iditarod, but believes it favora ble country for winter prospecting.

On of the first boats that hit the Iditarod with the spring stampede there arrived distinguished southern gentleman destined to be known to the little world of the camp Major A. K.
