THE FAIR
Read Our
erent districts . la this vicinity met
with Supervisor Eenaca C. Beach' in
the Odd Fellows hall at 8 o'clock this
morning for, the purpose of hearing
instructions wjth regard to taking the
Federal Census interperted, and to
ask questions on points , which they
might not thoroughly understand
The scope ot the work involved in
taking a complete and thorough cen
sus is so extensive, and industries are
so diversified In this part of the coun
try that enumerators will find some
difficulty" in filing a complete sched
ule even" with the hearty eoxopera
tion oi au those questioned.
Mr. eBach make , sthe point that
this information is not to be consi
dered as for the government In the
sense' that It will be of no direct
benefit to each and every citizen.
. Statistics are for the benefit of the
people, a means to give the govern
ment a basis to figure the need for
improvement In all the different ser
vices supplied to us, and so a certain
element of patrlotiem lies ia the
gettiug- of a correct , and complete
count and the making of a complete
schedule, ' and sines all are her .to

A lack ot dependable Information
in regard to conditions In the far
West and especially in Oregon has
oeen an immense nanaicap to our
state; in the past and we are all in
terested in removing it. ;,
Heretofore the people residing in
the state ; have , known little la re
gard to the very conditions under
which they lived as compared to com
ditions elsewhere, and as a result,
people on the outside could know even
less abount what Oregon has to of
fer to the homeseeker and Investor
and . what great good might be ac
complished by a wise expenditure for
the development of the latent re
sources within the state."
A good census report? will do con
siderable toward putting Oregon to
the front rank for progress, and it
is up to" every public spirited citizen
to get busy In helping the boys , who
will do the work. . ';';; .;. , 'i . ;': '' 4' :';
