Charles Reign Scoville closed what
he characterized as the hardest evan
gelistic campaign of his eighteen years
experience Thursday night. 1t lasted

preceded for six weeks by special
prayer meetings, union church services.

a religious census of the city. In the

were paid off and the last days col
lection netted $1,000 for the evangelist.
The start of the campaign was marked
by indifference on the part of the pub

out larger crowds. All but two Protes-

Cedar Rapids.

improvement commission probably
have found way to escape spending
about $4,000 for the extension of the

proposition will be submitted to Will
liam King, who owns the property
thru which the ditch obtains an out
let to the river, to trade his lot for
some adjoining property removed from
the sewer. The city proposes to ac-
quire the lower end of the King prop
erty so that it will not be necessary
to extend the sewer. Mr.. King, If
he accepts the proposition will be re-
lieved of building the river wall on the
property he now owns, but he will be
compelled to pay for it's construction
on some other lots he controls.
Sioux City.
Sioux City is going to have an honest
census count even if some of the most
enthusiastic boosters for $4,000 are not
satisfied. J. w. Gray, in charge Of the
census, says he will not permit a
name to be entered that is not veri
fled by one Of his own enumerators.
Hundreds of names have been sent in
to MI Gray from transient hotels, in
Guiding most of the people who have
registered since Jan. I, but Mr.. Gray
has sent enumerators to check up these
names. In one case where over 100
names had been submitted for count
ing, Mr.. Gray permitted only eight
names to be counted. Mr.. Gray said
the total names enrolled by noon Fri
day was nearly $4,000. 1t is predicted
now that the total will not go over
$4,000. The count must be completed
by June l.
Waterloo.
If Waterloo shows count Of 10000
under the state census, now under
way, the population of Black Hawk
county in 1915 will be above the $4,000
mark Five years ago the government
census gave the county 44.825. If the
$4,000 mark be passed this year, il vii!
indicate an increase Of over 5000 in the
county in the past five years. The
office Of county treasurer and auditor
will be affected, in so far as salary Is
concerned, if the enumeration this
year gives Black Hawk $4,000 or over.
In that event these officers will receive
$500 each as salary, while the depu-
ties will receive half that sum. or $3.50
each. Z Census cards for all divisions
have been returned to County Auditor
Rainbow with the exception Of Wa
terloo city and Dunkerton. The count
here is now under way with ten special
in the field. They have
turned in between $1,000 and 10000
cards up to date. and the count will !
be completed within two or three |
weeks. The figures for Dunkerton are
estimated Eight of the eighteen town
ships show loss, while all the towns
and cities show gain. Cedar Falls
increased 1921 over the federal CEN
sus which was taken in 1910, or ap-
20 per cent. Waterloo
township shows an increase OF over SO
per cent. 1t is expected that the count
in Waterloo city will show upwards
$4,000. -.----.-----------...-.-..
