In his formal statement. which Mr..
Kalbfus is reading gradually to the
committee, he reviews the Horstmann
charges. He adds that no Board of
Commissioners has forbidden the pur-
chase of real estate by members OF the
Board Of Assessors, and neither has
Congress.
Continuing. Mr.. Kalbfus says:
The District Commissioners who
have held office during the more than
a quarter of a century ! have been in
the employ Of the local government,
have all known that Assessors, when
they were so minded, bought either foT
home or investment purposes real estate
in the District. and these Commits
sioners have hever passed any regula-
ton prohibiting Assessors from so do
ing. .....
After the public hearing in the fall
OF len the Commissioners passed no
such regulation, although my counsel
publicly called their attention to the ab-
sence OF one, and suggested one II the
Commissioners were Of opinion that

The following bulletin comprising
many interesting facts relative to the
composition and characteristics of the
people of North Dakota has just been
made public by the census depart
ment:
The composition and characteristics
of the population OF North Dakota, as
reported at the thirteenth decennial
census are given in al advance bulle-
tin soon to be issued by Director Du-
rand OF the bureau of the census de-
partnent of commerce and labor. 1t
was prepared under the supervision of
VIM. G. Hunt, chief statistican for
population. Statistics Of color, rGativ-
ity, ~parentage, sex, state of birth, cit
izenship, age illiteracy, school attend
ance, marital condition, and dwellings
and families are presented. They are
grouped as follows: For the state
and counties; for the two cities Of
more than 10000; and for places of
$500 to 10000. A. previous popula-
ton bulletin for North Dakota gave
the number of inhabitants by coun-
ties and minor civil divisions, decen-
MIA increase and density of popula-
ton, and the proportions urban and
rural. That and the forthcoming bull
Ietin cover all the principal topics Of
the population census except occupa-
lions and ownership of homes.
Color and Nativity.
The white population is divided in
to four groups: a. Native, native
Darentage-that is, having both par
ents born in the United States; CD
native, foreign parentage = having
both parents born abroad; G, native,
mixed parentage-having one parent
native and the other foreign born; (4)
foreign born.
OF the total population of North
Dakota 162,461, or 1872 per cent, are
native whites Of native parentage:
251,236, or 43.5 per cent, are native
whites Of foreign or mixed parentage;
and 1888, or 27.1 per cent, are for
eign born whites. The corresponding
percentages in 1900 were POS, Ais
and 1873, respectively, the proportion
Of native whites of native ~parentage
having increased during the decade.
The SASS Indians constitute IL per
cent Of the population, and the 617
negroes o. per cent. in twenty nine
of the forty-nine countries the proper
ton of foreign-born whites exceeds
on~e-fourth. In no county is the pro-
portion Of native whites of foreign
or mixed parentage less than one
fourth; in six it exceeds one-half.
OF Thu urban population, 37.7 per
cent are native whites or native par
entage; of the rural 81 per cent. The
corresponding proportions for native
whites of foreign or mixed ~parentage
are 37.6 and 44,3 per cent, respective
ly. The percentage Of foreign-born
whites is twenty-four in the urban
| population n 27.4 in the rural; of
negroes, 0.5 in the urban and Of in
the rural. The Indian population is
almost exclusively rural.
Sex,
In the total population of the
state there are 317,554 males and
259.502 females, or 1924 males to 100
females. In 1900 the ratio was 1858
to 100. Among native whites the ra-
ito is 114.9 to 100, and among for
eign born whites 1853 to 100. In the
urban population there are 1855 males

charIis Thompson's Funny FINGER.

Popular Magazine: When Colonel
Roosevelt was travelling over the
country in the last presidential
campaign. his private car was always
coupled Immediately behind the Pull
man occupied by the newspaper cor
respondents who accompanied him.
Charlie Thompson, one of the writer's,
developed on a finger of his left hand
a sore place which gave him great
concern. The colonel asked his own
special physician to tread Charlie, and
for two Or three days the painful
finger was the only tragedy on the
train.
One evening Cecil Lyon. the great
est Bull Mooser who ever came out
Of Texas, was talking to the colonel
in the private car with four of five
of the newspaper men.
II think I'll go up into the next
car" said Lyon, firing of the incessant
talk about politics, and see how
Charlie Thompson's finger is"
Thereafter, at intervals of every

smaller for women than for men is
due partly to the excess of males in the
total population and partly to the fact
that women marry Thus S.3
per cent of the females from Is to 10
years of age are married, as compared
with O.3 per Eel of the males, and so
per cent of, the females from 20 to "a
years of age are married, as compared
with 1871 per cent of the males. In the
next age group, % to 81, the percent
ages are 1922 and 53.2, respectively; in
the age group, IS to A, they are 90.2
and 1853; while in the next. age group
the percentage married is higher
among the males. That there is a
larger proportion of widows than of
widowers may indicate that men more
often remarry than women, but since
husbands. are generally older than
wives, the marriage relationship is
more often broken BY death of the hus-
band than by death of the wife.
For the main elements of the popu-
tlation the percentages of married per-
sons among those is years of age and
over are as follows: ,Foreign-born
whites, 1913 for males and 1871 for fe-
males; native whites of native parent
age, AZ and 63.1, respectively; native
whites of foreign or mixed ~parentage,
Sc and 5l.1; and Indians, GIL and 66.I
Z These percentages by no indi-
cate the relative tendency of the sew
3eral classes as regards marriage. TIC
determine that, the comparison should
be made by age periods, since the pro-
portion married in any class is deter
mined largely by the proportion who
have reached the marrying age. Sim
ilarly, the proportion widowed depends
largely on the proportion past middle
life. The percentage married for males
is slightly higher, n for females de.
cidedly higher, in rural than in urban
communities.

This is the high enterprise Of the new
