DISTRICT SUPERVISOR ASKS THE
COMMERCIAL CLUB TO ASSIST
CITY ENUMERATOR
NECESSARY TO HAVE ALL NAMES
Civic Bodies Are Energetic In Many
Other Towns

At a meeting of commercial club
workers held last night it was decided
that a committee should be appointed
at once to assist in every way possible
in the completing OF the census enum-
Grafton In the city of Bonners Ferry
in order that the town might get the
full credit for all its citizens.
This committee will check up in ey-
cry possible manner all inhabitants of
the town to make sure that their
names are on the census books.
Every inhabitant of Bonners Ferry
who has not been seen by the census
enumerator, Mrs. A. B. Wilson. is re-
quested to leave his or her name with
Mrs. Wilson, at the Herald office, at
the postoffice or at either of the banks
and arrangements will be made to
complete the census rolls properly.
In this work all employers, all res
taurant and rooming houses propri-
etors can help. This is a matter of
LOYALTY to the home town and should
not be passed up as trivial matter
The reason for the action of the
commercial club workers last night
and the Importance of carefully check
ing up on census enumerator reports
is given in the following letter which
was received yesterday by A. J. Kent
secretary of the commercial club, from
]. B. Benedict, supervisor of the cen
sus for the first district of Idaho, with
headquarters at Lewiston, Idaho:
81 wish to ask the cooperation of
your commercial club with me in TAX
ing the census of your city.
"It is a difficult task for the enumer-
ators to get every person IN their re-
spective districts and the statistics of
of a correct and reliable census is a
matter which interests your organiza-
tion as much as the federal govern
ment, as statistics of this census will
be looked upon for the next ten years
and the population of your city for
the next ten years will be determined
from this census as far as the federal
government is concerned.
THE representation of the State of
Idaho in the House of Representatives
will be based upon the population of
the state as determined at the COM
ing census and the re-districting of the
state will depend upon the population
OF the various counties as ascertained
at the census.
II have been checking over the re-
turns of the enumerator of your city

A. E. OMEN IS NAMED COUNTY
AGENT FOR THE COMING YEAR

tary Rowe has written or will write
to the various locals of the county to
find out how much powder the farm
ers of each district wish to buy. 1t
is quite possible that more than car
load will be sold in the county this
season.
Inquiry was made of Mr.. Kjosness
of whether or not the farmers of this
county could expect to get any INT
powder from the government and he
read a letter from E. B. Hitchcock,
soil specialist of the University of Ida
no, at Moscow, as follows:
"The work we are planning for INT
came up so hurriedly and had to be
transacted in such short order that
did not think Of sending you copy
of the letters. will say at this time,
however, that we have divided up
$4,000 pounds between the four north
ern counties, namely, Boundary, Bon
ner, Benewah and Kootenai, to carry
on demonstration work, both with the
farm bureau, the county agents and
the state highway commission. Hope
to take this up more in detail upon
visiting these northern counties in
February, as to the matter of proceed
ure and apportioning amounts to the
different farmers.
81 informed Senator Nugent some
time in October that / had made ar
rangements with the county agents of
the above counties, to carry on this
work and that as soon as he saw fit
we were ready to receive the ship
ment of INT. / have had no further
word from Senator Nugent as to when
shipment will be made but have taken
the matter up with the Senator's sec
retary, who has gone to Washington,
d. c., and he stated that he would
take up the matter with Mr.. Nugent,
personally, so we hope to have some
kind of report in he near future as
to when the shipment will be made"
