ANNOUNCEMENT BY BEACH Supervisor Is Compelled to Reduce Size of Many Districts Because of Recent Order to Com pile Additional Data. Census Supervisor Beach manifestly Is not much of a woman suffragist. At any rate, he is authority for the state ment that when it comes to taking the census in the Second Congressional Dis trict it will be a case of men first. In other words, he has decided that no woman shall be appointed as enumerator so long as there are quali fied male applicants for the positions. In. the recent examination of candi dates for appointment as enumerators, S8 women took the test in this district. Just how many of that number quali fied for the work has not been ascer tained, as their examination papers have not yet been graded. As a rule, however, the women applicants are said to have submitted papers above the average. Mr. Beach and his assistants at census headquarters in the Lumber Exchange building are still busy ex amining papers submitted by over 600 applicants that took the examination for appointment as enumerators about ten days ago. All papers submitted in this district must be graded and sent to Washington, together with a list of the successful candidates equal in num ber to the number of enumerators necessary to perform the work, not later than February 2S. Appointments Made in East. The successful candidates will be ap pointed from Washington early next month. They will then be assigned by Mr. Beach to the districts in which they will be expected to operate, be ginning April 15. It will be in the assignment of the enumerators that any vacancies will be discovered, and it will then be necessary f or Mr. Beach, after conferring with the Director of the Census at Washington, to supply any vacancies which may be found. That there will be some vacancies is a foregone conclusion. In one of the 17 counties in this district, examinations were provided for at five different points, but only two of these taking the test qualified as enumerators. The unusually large number of failures, re sorts Mr. Beach, was due to the fact that the applicants in many instances were too careless in following the in structions under which the - examina tion was held. Many of the most capable applicants, many of whom were competent to take a position as bank clerks, turned in incomplete papers or failed to observe some of the more or less arbitrary rules governing the test, with the result that their papers could not be considered. For that reason un successful candidates, says Mr. Beach, should not be disappointed with the re sult. They failed, in a majority of in stances, entirely because of technical reasons. Beach . Rearranges His Plans. Supplemental orders from the Census Bureau, after the plan of taking the census was first determined, have served seriously to up-set the plans of Mr. Beach in this district. It was originally con templated that the. enumerators would take only the population. The first move on the part of the bureau was to add to the work of the enumerators the task of compiling the agricultural statistics of their respective districts. Then came an order that the same enumerators take statistics relating to the range and only a few days .ago instructions were received, ordering the enumerators also to gather statistics as to the mining Industry of this state. This last order affects the enum erators in ten of the 17 counties in this district. Giving the enumerators additional work, without providing more men to tlo the work, has rved to change the original plans of Mr. Beach who at the beginning subdivided the Second Congressional Dis trict, over which he has supervision, into enumeration districts of such a size as would enable the enumerator to complete the task in the two weeks allowed in the city or four weeks in the rural districts, in which it is required that the census must be completed. As a result, the enumerator in practically every district created by Mr. Beach, will have hard work if he completes his task in the brief time permitted by the Government. Size of Districts Cut. Because of these conditions, Mr. Beach found It necessary to reduce the size of the enumeration districts. "Where con ditions were found at all favorable, dis tricts were created on a basis of an esti mated population of 1500. Later, when the extent of the work required of enum erators was ascertained, several of the more difficult districts were reduced In size to include approximately 200 in popu lation although the area is sufficiently large to keep the enumerator occupied for the full time he is allowed.

Fair Sex to Show Inconvenience to Company Next Tuesday. Two Clubs Ask Change. Mayor Simon lias come to the rescue of the Portland women, in their fight for lower steps on the streetcars. He declares that action to relieve the situ ation should be taken. To test the steps himself, he boarded a pay-as-you-enter car for his home on Everett street Saturday night and as a result is in sympathy with the movement for remedial action. "I usually walk to and from my home," said Mayor Simon, "but I was a trifle late and boarded a pay-as-you-enter car. ' I took particular pains to note the height of the step, and I must say that, in my Judgment, it was too high. I am convinced there is much meritin the contentions of the women in their request for lower steps on the streetcars, and (irmly believe there should be relief. I do not know why the company has its car steps built so high, but as I view it. there is Just cause for complaint where the steps are as high as on the car I boarded. I understand this is the situation on a large number of cars." Led by Mrs. Nina Larove, the women of Portland are making a de termined fight for lower car steps, and many have signified their wishes by addressing letters of complaint to the special Council committee named by Mayor Simon to investigate streetcar service. The Portland Woman's Club and the Monday Musical Club have passed resolutions, favoring remedial action, and condemning the high steps severely. This afternoon at 2 o'clock the spe cial committee will hold its regular weekly session at the City Hall, and one week from today, at 4 P. M.. there will be a practical demonstration by women at the Savier-street barns of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. All kinds of steps now in use on the various divisions will be there, and the women will be asked to mount each kind and to assist in se lecting a type to their liking. Mrs. Larowe has issued a special call to the women of the city to be present on this occasion, and the event is at tracting wide attention. While there have been numerous complaints against other features of the streetcar service, many of which have been corrected, the high step com plaint is more general, and has the sup port of many influential women.
