L"p In eastern Oregon Is an enumerator; ft'ho Is a Democrat and who has been, during the past' few days, the recipient of many experiences. He Is. "personally, a great friend of: the supervisor, and because of his qualification" "he was seked to be one of the enumerators, and paid he did not- want ihe Job. , He at last said that, in case of great need, or In case there happened to be a district j that no other man would cover, as a matter of "prBbnarTrlel.a8l.lirjSerr0BTff" take a district. He took one, and he tells about it in the following letter to the supervisor: . , ' i , ,v Tear Beach -1 received the: sphclal Irrigation blanks, as my district la arid except where reclaimed. ' .

Very difficult to find place to sleep. ,. "I walked fve miles one night over the mountains, before finding a place ti sleep, j Roads are good, . though. Sometimes I walk three or four miles Into or out ofmy place to find a ranch er. A number of places have changed hamls -and I cannot' get last ' year's report on props, but am doing the best possible.

Yesterday a party of Hungarians and Bulgarians pleaded Ig norance of the English languaga and refused to answer the enumerators. An Interpreter was secured and at last one of the men, after warning the In terpreter , not to tell the enumerator anything, spoke up In very good Eng lish and said: "Tell the enumerator to go to helL We know, what he wants, but we do not Intend to answer." 7 These persona will also be before the United States court as soon as they can be rounded up by the marshal's office.
