WAR

CENSUS PLAN
WORKED OUT
Portland to Be Divided Into
Nine Districts and Pre
cinct Subdivisions.
EVERY COUNTY RESPONDS
Sheriffs Instructed to Xame Boards
and to See .That Jfo Delay Is
Encountered In Carrying Out '
Orders When Cards Arrive.
To facilitate tha taking of the'waf
census In Portland, the city will be
divided Into nine war census districts,
each one to embrace, roughly speaking,
a population of 30,000 persons.
This and other details of the census
taking here were arranged at a con
ference yesterday between Adjutant
General George A. White, Mayor Albee,
City Auditor Barbur, Sheriff Hurlburt
and Martin Pratt, his chief deputy,
and County Clerk Beverldgre.
Mayor Albee Is to Appoint at once
nine district boards of registration,
each board to be composed of a chief,
a registration clerk and a licensed phy
sician. Each of these nine boards will
have direct supervision of the war
census in its respective district.
The districts, in turn, will be sub
divided into the regular election pre
cincts, where the men of military age
will appear to register. In the city
of Portland the war Census marshals
In charge of these precincts will re
port to their district board of regis
tration. Central Board to Be Named.
These boards, in turn, will report to
a ceniral board, also to be appointed
by Mayor Albee, and of which he will
be chairman.. This central board will
receive and consolidate the reports of
the nine district boards, and In Its turn
will report to the Adjutant-General.
This arrangement does not prevent
any necessary redistribution of polling
places. The war census marshals al
ready appointed In the precincts and
their boards of volunteer assistants
will serve as arranged.
Each of the nine dtstrlot boards of
registration Jn to attend to such de
tails as the distribution of registra
tion cards to the precinct war census
marshals. Summed up, the duties of
these district registration boards In
the city will be the same as the duties
of the County Registration Board in
each county. The reason for dividing
the city into districts of 30,000 is that
the authorities consider a district of
80,000 persons to be as large aa one
board can handle properly.
All Sheriffs Report.
Adjutant-General, White by 6 o'clock
last night had heard from the Sheriffs
f every one of the 36 counties In the
state relative to their preparations for
.taking the census. The last to report
was Sheriff Goodman, of Harney, who
telegraphed late in the day that his
delay was due to the fact that he had
been absent from the state when the
first Instructions arrived.
In all the counties the appointment
of war census marshals for the various
precincts Is progressing, and in several
of the counties Sheriffs have .reported
their organizations so nearly complete
that they could take the census any
time after receiving the necessary
cards. -
Following a conference with Gover
nor Wlthycombe, General White last
night Issued War Census Bulletin No. 8.
containing further Instructions relative
to the census, to ev.ery Sheriff.
.. N ' Bulletin Is leaned. -
The bulletin follows:
"To the Sheriff of County: Infor
mation Is desired by return mall whether you
nave completed th. work or appointing res
ist rare (war census marshals) In each of the
voting precincts of your county.
"A list of those officials Is desired with
out delay, giving; name, address, quallflca
tions, precinct number and boundaries of
the district.
"TheHe headquarters are advised by Gov
ernor "VVithycombe that the necessary regis
tration cards and other forms are now beln
received. It Is requested that you report the
fact to these headquarters Immediately upon
receipt of such forms, statins; whether or not
a sufficient supply for your county is on
hand.
"Upon receipt by you of the official regu-
. latlons governing the census, all questions re
lating thereto should be dispatched Immedi
ately to these Jaeadquarters for any Informs'
tton or decision that may be required. Thrs,
however, should not delay the work of or
ganlzatton.
"At the present time in each county the
following steps should have been taken:
"Appointment of all registrars (war census
. marshals.
"Compilation by county registration board
.of name of every registrar war census mar
shal ), with list of assistants designated "by
such registrar.
"Complete arrangement of places In each
voting precinct for the taking of the war
eensus.
"Arrangements completed for the prompt
delivery of - registration cards, upon their
receipt, to all sections of the county, lnclud
lng arrangements for special messengers in
cases of remote voting precincts.
"Organization of the county board of reg
Istration and establishment of a central head
auarters for keeping and distributing sup
plies: selection of a central point, preferably
the County Clerk's office, for the keeping of
records Dertainlng to true1 war census.
"It is believed that 'the functions Just
enumerated in connection with the war ten.
sus are the most Important of any confront
ing you at present and to this end the war
census work should not be permitted to lag
dr suffer for want of prompt and effective
attention. While it is realized that receipt
of the regulations from the Federal Govern
ment will greatly assist all concerned in in
telllgent execution of thefr duties, at the
same time the details of complete organiza
tion cannot be permitted to wait.
"In the ease of counties where ready mall
service does not exist, important reports and
requests should be made to these, headquar
ters by telegraph where absolutely neces
sary. Sheriffs in such cases are hereby au
thorized to send night letters, collect, not to
exceed 50 words In length, where the urgency
of the situation Justifies such expense.'
WASCO COVXTY HAS MARSHALS
Courthouse. Registrars from 10 pre
cincts will act at each place. A similar
plan of registration will be followed
in all the towns of the county having
more than one polling place or pre
cinct. Certificates will be given all per
sons registered, to enable the Sheriff
to round up the slackers.
INDIANS WILL BE SOUGHT
Hood River Xeeds Berry and Fruit
Tickers Uils Year. t
HOOD RIVER, Or.. May 12. (Spe
cial.) Indians may again participate by
the hundreds In the harvest of the Hood
River Valley strawberry crop. A num
ber of years ago the red men and their
families came here from the Yakima
and Warm Springs reservations more
than 500 strong each season, A few
Indians still cometo the valley In berry
harvest time.
But the gret number of redmen,
when the open land over the valley
was fenced in and put under cultiva
tion, failed to appear.
"I believe," says Samuel G. Campbell,
chief inspector of the Apple Growers'
Association, "that we can appeal to the
patriotism of the red men this year and
get them back here again. But we
must offer plenty of pasture for their
stock. Indians will work mighty well
if they have an opportunity to play
also." -
