PRESCOTT CENSUS DE CREASE COMES AS
 SHOCK TO PEOPLE
(From Saturdays daily)

] WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-Censu Prescott, Arizona, 1880, a decreas of 7l2, or II percent Jerome. Ari zona, 4Q3o, 5n incTcqse of l.637 o. l6S4. percent. fs.s,
 The city of Prescott was placed in the class of Phoenix and Tucsol as a Kicker against the 1920 census yesterday when the bureau announc ed that the city had 4.3SO inhabit ants, a decrease of 712 or IA per cent,
 That this figure is obviously too low was the contention Of Secretary Grace AT Sparkes of the chamber of commerce, who had returned iron the snake dance just in time to hear the report
 Many things, she declared, testify to the contrary. School children housing, stories, water meters, cleo tric and gas service and telephones all prove that insctad of declining in the past decade, the population of Prescott has increased. a. For two years, even in the winters, Miss Sparlses pointed out, there has been shortage of houses of all classes In- the past ten years, she estimates. not less than 400 new houses have been added to the city, and in spite of this fact there is continual excess of demand over supply.
 There is not a vacant store ,or of flee building or room of desirable character throughout the business area. The Prescott Gas and Electric company has rcccrtly changed its city power mains from 11G0 to g. 200 volts in order 10 chcapen the process Of serving the increased mum Der of patrons Similarly, the con sumtrs of gas nave increased beyond the capacity of the old equipment, and during the past few months the has been augmented and. 
 . Telephone service has been in creased greatly over last census time.
 The Santa Fe shops, the largest of help in this city, have been enlarged since 1910.
 Many persons have become resi- dents here. as a result of the post.
 Says Weather Hurt
 Miss Sparkcs calls attention to the act that the census was taken at a lime when the weather was not ayorable to canvassiug. She believes hat many families were missed by he enumcrators on this account
 It is regarded as unlikely that a -ccouut of the city can be secured !. low that the state census machinery : laS been abandoned

RAILROAD HEAD URGES
COOPERATION OF EMPLOYEES

Fairfax Harrison, president Of the
Southern Railway System has sent
the following to the employees of that
railway.
"The tremendous increase of rail
road rate authorized by the Inter
state Commerce Commission seems to
complete the circle of government
management of the railroad industry
It was necessary to carry the scale
of expenses set up by the Railroad
administration, but it must cause
grave concern as to its economic con-
sequences. It now remains for private
management to resume the practice of
competitive efficiency and self reliant
initiative which distinguished the
American Railroads during so many
wears and to justify the preferences
of the American people for that form
of administration by making possible
not only the success of individual
companies and the property of their
loyal employees, but constant prog
ress to the public, such as may be
traced through the old fashioned rail
road statistics. No one can expect this
to be accomplished over night, con-
sidering the practical conditions, but
a start can be made at once, relying
on the cooperation and support of the
employees. the management Of South
ern Railway System will make the CT
fort"
