TWELFTH CENSUS.
Outlet and Requirements of the S0.OO0
Enumerators-Four Schedules
Instead of Tea.
in the, Mmm buildins a eret room
is now the scene of bustling activity,
tbe work of preparing portioiios tor
ua by enumerators in the coming
count of the population being fairly
under way. These portfolios, of whitish-brown
pasteboard, hinged together
irh hli-r loth. am 18 inches long
and 10 wide and tied with four sets of
tape. The tape used ia not that rent
tan," which to the ordinary mind sig
nifies circumlocution and delay. The
law requires speed in the census oi
1900 and common every day white cot
ton turn will fasten the schedule-filled
portfolios in their round from habita
tion to habitation. For convenient, ao
nnmta and ranid enumeration the Uni
ted State has been divided into 800
supervisors' districts, and these in torn
into about 60,000 enumeration dis
tricts, or E. D.'e, as they are called in
the census office. Each of the 50,000
ennmaratnra ia vet to be attDOtnted, SO
on the portfolios a blank space ia left
for hi name.
Tt lane ranma found the unhappv
enumerator loaded down with from 10
to 13 schedule, each having volumin
ous instructions, to master which re
quired considerable mental ability and
power of memory. That census was
taken under a law which required enu
merators to ask many obnoxious ques
tions. The census act of 1900 happily
for ail does not require these disagree
able queries.
Four schedules, not 10, cover enu
merator's inquiries in 1900; schedules
requiring information about popula
tion, vital statistics, manufactures and
agriculture. In cities the enumerator
will seldom need the agricultural, or
in the rural districts tbe manufacturing
schedule, so he will infrequently carry
more than three.
A general realization by American
citisens of their personal interest in a
successful prosecution of the canvass
by this white-tape army should arouse
sentiments of local interest and pride
in each enumeration district citizen
would concern themselves about -tin
selection of their registrar and local
arbiter.
The white-tape army should bo made
upotnwn of a high standard. They
should be quick, competent, courteous,
tactful and truthful.

scores of dwellings for rent to employes
at a nominal sum, and which, in con
nection with the plant, presents nearly
a mile of frontage on Chehitlis river.
The company is now constructing a
new planing mill, a box factory, a tank
factory, a finished lumber storing shed,
new dry kilns, and making numerous

BRADSTRCET'S REPORT.
General Trad Distribution Has ihowa
. Tendency to Kapaad.
Brads treet's says;
Believed from the hampering effects
of stormy weather, general trade distri
bution has shown a tendency to expand
this week, prioes of many staples are
firmer and higher, and generally there
is a better tone than noted for some
weeks. Easily holdiug first rank in
the matter of speculative activity, cot
ton early in the week touched the high
est level, not only for the present sea
son, but for at least six years past.
Wool is rather weaker, following the
drop in prices at the Loudon sale, ami
the rather slower demand from Ameri
can manufacturers.
By another of the short swings which
have distinguished wheat prices for a
long time past, quotations have been
advanced this week to the level touched
some time ago.
Boot and shoe manufacturers are
actively employed, aud leather ia firm,
but hides are weaker or lower at most
markets.
Building materials are firm, except
at cities where labor troubles are ap
prehended. The industrial situation is rather
irregular, owing partly to the com
bined strike and lock-out of 50,000
building hands, building material
workers and machinists at Chicago,
and partly to isolated strikes of small
numbers of men throughout the
country.
Wheat, including flour, shipments
for the week aggregate 4.208,758 bush
els, against 3,863,887 bushels last
week, 4,898,821 bushels the corre
sponding week of 1899, and 4,844,701
bushels in 1898.
Business failures in the United States
for the week number 189, against 173
last week. 177 in this week year ago,
247 in 1S98, 227 in 1897 and 282 in
1896.
