PERSHING GREETED HERE
BY ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD
A. E. F. Commander Made no Effort
to Address Audience During
Brief Stop.

Probably 300 people gathered at thu.
railroad station last Saturday evening
to greet General John ]. Pershing as
ne passed through Caldwell enroute to
Portland on his inspection trip to
various army posts. But because the
train was far behind schedule and did
not arrive until after p. m. the crowd
dwindled to hardly more than hand
full.
General Pershing did not make a
speech as he did at Nampa where the
stop was longer. He asked the name
of the town and remarked genially
that there were other people beside
himself who should be in bed. One
enthusiastic Pershing man pressed
forward to shake his hand and Gen
eral Pershing employed his few mo-
ments to make series of humorou.

TAKE STEPS TO
EXPEDITE WORK
Census Still Dragging With Brief
Intensive Campaign
Ahead

Two weeks originally allotted for
taking census passed last Friday. Be
cause the work did not get under
Roadway that limit has been extended
somewhat but the belief is prevalen,
that not much longer will the work
be permitted to continue.
So far, to find those people who
have not been enumerated is much
easier than to find those who have
been counted. A Summing expedition
in the north end of town conducted
Monday morning showed two families
of eight visited who had been visited
by the enumerator. While the work
is progressing results are slow in COM
ing if such Investigations count for
anything.
Prospects Not Bright.
Fear is expressed that not more than
half of the population which can just
ly be credited to Caldwell will be en-
umerated. Since it is vitality import
ant that every person be called upon,
business men are awaking to the nee
essity of taking drastic steps to insure
full count Lack of interest and or
ganization have prevented thorough
work.
Several proposals have been made
that, if carried to completion, will in
sure satisfactory results. One of par
ticular merit is that of assigning each
section of the city of those who had
charge of identical divisions during
the war period, putting on a short
drive which plenty of help to get ev-
erybody and then checking results
with the official enumerators.
May Miss Many.
Taking the census is slow work, be-
cause at least two of the enumerators
are not especially well acquainted in
Caldwell, it is argued that many peo-
pie fully entitled to be counted here,
will not be listed, even should every
person now resident here. be enumer-
ated.
Determination of just what action
will be taken to expedite the matter
will undoubtedly be arrived at within
the next few days. M. H. Gibbons
md c. J. Shorb are the committee in
charge of the work. Efforts will be
extended to get all persons counted in
pool halls from day to day and other
transients who can properly be count
ed here. According to partial sur,
veg, there are at least IS Caldwell cit.
liens who are spending the winter in
California, the Hawaiian Islands or ir
the east. Special efforts will be made
to include all of these people. Any.
one who can give the facts relating tc
them that the census requires are
urged to supply it to Mr. Gibbons OF
Mr.. Shorb. Send in all names of peo
pie who are not residing here but who
are properly Caldwell citizens.
