THURSDAY, JANUARY, q, 1890.

In order to relieve needless anxiety
existing, that some of the residents Of
the city have been overlooked by the
Census Enumerators, it may be we'll
to state that the enumerators have not
completed their work. If however
there are any persons, Or families liv-
ing at hotels, boarding or rooming
houses which the enumerators (altho
they may have called at their resi-.
dence have not as yet been, able to lind
or see, those parties should hand III
their names and addresses to the en-
umerator for the WARD in which they
live. The Census Enumerators for the
city, with the Ward for which they
are appointed being as follows:
First Ward-Mrs. j. E. Featherstone
Second Ward-Mrs, ", ], Westergaard
Third Ward-Mrs. Thomas Gale.
Fourth Ward-Mrs. Otto Zetterberg.
( Although the Census Enumerators
are proceeding with the canvas of the
city, and so far have experienced lit
tie trouble in obtaining the informa-
ton asked for; there seems to be a
disposition on the part of some OF the
citizens to resent giving the required
information, evidently overlooking
the fact that it is the United States
Government which is asking for the
information, and that it should be Civ
en- voluntarily, and the enumerators
treated courteously, otherwise more
or less unpleasant consequences may
result to the offender. The Census
Enumerators are appointed by the u.
S. Government and are only doing
what is required of them and although
it may appear that matters of per-
sonal nature are touched upon, the in
formation given is treated as conf
Dental, and not for publication. 1t is
therefore hoped that those who feel
inclined to be peeved when the enum-
orator calls upon them, lay aside their
crouch and treat your caller courte-
ously, and promptly give the informa-
ton asked for so that the work may
be completed as soon as possible.

CLEANING UP IRON COUNTY

To the eternal credit OF the two
newspapers published in Iron county
the officials OF that district now are
likely to clean up some OF the blind
pigs. About the time that everybody
got through handing bouquets to the
county prosecutor, Mr.. McDonough.
because he refused TO permit a windy
federal official to get away with his
-'rumbellion" story in the newspapers
the truth comes out that there Is
some real occasion for moral clean
up in Iron River, Crystal Falls and
other towns down that way.

did not get very far. Mr. McDonough
went east 10 speak for the Camels.
The sheriff announced that he thought

that they didn't like Major Dalrymp-
les unkind treatment OF their coun-

things could be improved in many re-
spects. They called upon the officials
TO see that Improvement came about.
The sheriff promised immediate ac-
tion. The village president at Iron
River got peeved. He resigned. He
published a letter in which he said
the meddling old editor could take the
town and run Il TO suit himself The
editor acquiesced. He believed any
body could do a better job than the
gentleman named Johnson who quit.
The prosecutor came back from a
grand lodge session OF the Camels and

safe place for any woman.
There has been a general impress

THE COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER
To accomplish the advance OF the

must have certain professional stan
dards. They must render what may
be called a standardized service. giving

lie affairs, and effective advocacy Of
all progressive movements.
After they manifest their ability to
give this service. they may we'll unite
