W OF I
Supervisor Beach and 127 Opera
tives to Combine to Register
All Houseboat Dwellers All
Information to Be Secret.
No arrangement has yet been an
nounced from Washington for the. ap
pointment of census Inspectors and In
terpreters. It is probable, however,
that the appointments will be made a
few days after the enumeration has
started.
In two days the count will be on.
Many of the enumerators are already
in the field making themselves famil
iar with the district to which each
has been assigned. Most of the men
will be remunerated on a basis of
three cents a name and they are en
deavoring to plan their work so as to
pay visits by day or night as will be
most successful in finding: residents of
their districts home. Within two weeks
after Friday the count will be com
pleted.
It is believed that the population of
the various scow towns, houseboats
nd dwellers among: the wharves along
the water, front will reach at least
H000. All of them are employed as
laborers in the various industries of
the river. It Is proposed to round up
nil the 127 enumerators and, headed
by Supervisor Beach, one day and night
will be devoted to an endeavor to lo
cate every resident of the river abodes.
Announcement of the date of this
rally will be made later.
Supervisor Beach yesterday re
ceived further instructions from the
Washington office as to the degree of
secrecy to be balntained concerning: the
returns made by the enumerators. No
Information of any character may be
revealed, and the banker or farmer
who has bad occasion to conceal from
the Assessor any Information as to
his worldy accumulations may own up
to the census man wltlfout fear. The
matron of 45 who looks younger than
her oldest daughter may tell the whole
truth as to her age without a qualm,
ft will be as safe with the enumerator
as In the hands of her pastor or father
confessor.
A great aid to the enumeration will
be afforded, says Supervisor Beach, If
Hie 725 school teachers of Portland ex
plain to their classes that the object
rf the census Is to secure data for
the Information of the Government as
to the occupations and the financial
orogress of each family. Teachers
whose classes include children of for
Mgn parentage may aid the count ma
terially by asking: the youngsters to
explain at home what the census Is all
about.
