The taking of the Fourteenth I Census of the United States under the supervision of the Bureau of Education in Alaska, is to be taken | as of January 1, 1920 and all facts
 and figures will be computed as l having been taken on that day.

 On a recent tour of the towns of South eastern Alaska MT. Hawkes. worth made the following appoint ments as enumeratOrs: Joseph J. F. Ward, Skagway. c. c. Denton, Haines. Geo.. U. Beck, Kluckwan. l.. l.. Harding, Douglas. l. A. P. Kashevaroff, Thane and Ju- neau

 George Haldane, Hydaburg. Ed. Marsden, Metlakatla. Fred Faulkner, Kasaan and Had ley.
 Owing to the death of. Ira King of Ketchikan, who died shortly af- ter appointment there has been nc appointment made at that place No one has been appointed either at Hyder or Wrangell. Forest Supervisor Flory has of fered the use of the Forestry Ser vice boats and the rangers in tax ing the census in places that are not reached by the regularly ap- pointed enumerators or by Mir Hawkesworth himself and they will visit many of the smaller camps.
 It is thought that the census ac- tivities will get thoroughly under way in Southeastern Alaska by about the middle of January and the enumerators have the months of January, February and March in !; which to complete. their labors. Charles w. Hawkesworth will leave shortly on the Bureau of Fish wise the work and to visit many outlying points. The Bureau Of Fisheries as we'll as the Forestry Service are cooperating with the Bureau of the Census in the mat ter.
 Mir. Hawkesworth said today: Many people are under the i'm pression that an accurate census can not be taken of Alaska in the win , ter time on account of so many people going Outside. This impress sion is wrong as when we take the census we will enumerate Alaskan residents and property owners even 1T they are uOL IcTc at tue pIcocAt time. If the census were taken iD the summer those people who are only transient would be counted as belonging to the locality from which they came to Alaska so that Alaska would not gain anything by their presence.
 "The census this year will be un- usually complete" said Mir. Hawkes. worth. Mot only will the popula tion be enumerated but agricultural, livestock, manufacturing, lumber, and timber industries. mines and Quarries, and reduction mills will all be classified and enumerated.
