Bittner and Unidentified Resident or Oregon City Are Applicants.' 14 1 -Uw tg,D.i , lmum J- No wild scramble baa developed for the job of supervisor of census In the Oregon congressional districts. The census will be held next year. Uncle Eimmy displaying commendable curi osity every ten years to ascertain to what extent he is growing. Each congressional district .will have a supervisor, who will have charge of the gathering of the population statis tics within his territory. The supervisor will also be the target for objections and will be held responsible for the accuracy of his figures. It ts a big job, a responsible, nerve-racking one, but Uncle Sam says that J1500 is enough to pay for it- Ten years avo 11500 was fair compensation, for in those days the high cost of living was not as notice able as it is now collars could then be bought two for a quarter, and so could cigars, and a square meal mas possible for the current market quotation on a sandwich and a cup of Java. Because of the small pay, the usual throng of applicants is conspicuous by its absence. Thus far only three men have expressed a willingness to be su pervisors and receive the slings and arrows of indignant cttisens who be lieve that their town has more people In it than the census man says. It is possible to do a little better than 11500 but not much more. There Is a sort of bonus system, -by which if the su pervisor rustles up more population than the government thinks exists in a district, the supervisor receives a few dollars more scarcely enough to jus tify the supervisor in padding the returns. Thus far the candidates are W. D. Bennett, secretary of the democratic county central committee; John H. Bitt ner. also a democrat and also a reside of Portland, while the third aspirant is a lawyer, who is a democrat and a resident of Oregon City, further par ticulars as to his Identity not being available in the local democratic camps. "Anyway." says an ahti-Chamberlain democrat, "they are all Chamberlain men. and Chamberlain will probably have something to say about appointing them." Supervlslng the canvass of a census Is not a partisan Job, but It is observed that only democrats are seeking the plares. Applicants for supervisor have to fill out a blank as full of questions as the draft questionnaire, and these blanka are available through the secretary of commerce. Washington. D. C. What is considered as the main draw back to the Job is the parsimonious compensation. If the government would tilt the wage more men would be will ing to make a try for the commission. Fifteen hundred dollars for the work, which will require most of a year, al though the actual census taking will end in a few weeks. Is less than thou sands of shipyard workers are paid. wno nave no large responsibility. feheep herders, are better paid, for they get $100 a month and found. As two of the three applicants are Portlanders. there is nothing in the law to prevent them from being assigned to the first or second congressional dis tricts.

There appears to be no doubt that Charles Dillingham's production of "Chin Chin," with Wills and Binder in the lead, will duplicate its record of abso lute capacity audiences at the Heilig theater July 24. 25 and 26. Though the title of "Chin Chin" suggests a Chinese setting, the scenes are not laid any where near the Celestial land. There is no leading woman in this organiza tion. Although number of beautiful women, principals and otherwise, song birds and actresses are in the cast, it a ppears that she who is to enjoy the lace of honor as first favorite is lect to the choice of the public.

It Is estimated that 250,000 people, all from points more than 100 miles from New York, saw "Chin Chin" while it was presented at the Globe theater in New York.
