Probably few people in this city are
aware of the variety and extent of ar-
! tides which are kept in the storehouse
i at buoy depot near Tongue Point
i liver, possible article used in all
i the many light stations of the Thir
! teenth Lighthouse district, which ex
tends the en iire length of the north
west coast above the boundary line
between California and Oregon, is
I kept in store at that place.
t It is all drawn on requisition by
(Capt. W. W. Rhoades, of Portland,
who is inspector of the district, and
comes from the general depot of sup
plies for all the districts of the United
Stales, which is located at Tomkins
ville, on Staten Island, N. Y.
The principal bulk of the supplies
for every year are received here in
May or June, and for this year they
came last week, and are now at the
depot. The head keeper of each sta
tion sends to the Portland office a re
quisition for what he will require
during the year, Capt. Richard
son sends in the requirements
for the sleanier Jlanzanita, the
tender of this district, except those
wanted for the engineer department of
the vessel, and that is made out by the
chief engineer Harry C. Lord. All of
these are then forwarded in the month
of March or April, and, as before
stated, the .supplies arrive here in May
or June.
It then devolves upon the Jlanza
nfla to carry these supplies to each sta
tion in the district, which is no small
task when it is considered how exten
sive is the coast line. They include
lamps, wiclis, oil, tools and imple
ments, nails, screws and everything in
that line, paints aud brushes, books,
stationery, table and bed linen, blan
kets aud bedding, medicine and med
icine chests, and hundreds or tilings in
the way of furnishings Tor the stations.
There are 10 districts, of which,
numbers 1 to 8 inclusive, are on the
Atlantic coast and Gulf of Mexico, 9,
10 and 11 include the great lakes and
the rivers of the north, 12 is the Cali
fornia coast, 13 embraces Oregon
Washington and Alaska, M includes
the Ohio river and branches, and 15
and 10 are the Mississippi river.
All the lamps used in the entire
lighthouse system of the country are
made at the general depot, Tompkins
ville. Major D. P. Heap, of the corps
of engineers, and Lieutenant John
Millis are through electricians and
invented several useful lamps includ
ing those which burn five days and
eight davs without replenishing.
They have also established in Ged
ney's channel, New York harbor,
electric-lighted buoys, We giving a
white and some a red light, which have
been fouud to work remarkably well,
and will soon be established on this
coast, when thoroughly perfected.
The depot at Tongue point is in
charge of Mr. Douglass, who keeps
everything in fine order. A spring
there furnishes most excellent water,
and this is used on the Jlanzanita
aud the revenue cutter Tom Corwin,
as well as by several other vessels.
It is proposed to have the depot re
moved to this city, which would be
much more convenient and reduce the
expenses, as the Jlanzanita has to
pay for use of dock here, and the water
there is also shoaling so that coal can
not be lauded there. It would be well
if the inspector's recommendation for
a new depot and wharf in this city
would be granted.
Hundreds of buoys, sinkers and
spars, as well as large quantities of
chains, rope, blocks, thousands of
gallons of oil and a vast amount of
material is stored at the depot, and all
are in good condition. There is a
large warehouse on the end of the
pier for the above named articles, and
a storehouse nearer the land for small
articles aud supplies. An engine
house with boiler and engine is used
for pumping water from the spring,
and keeping full a -large reservoir up
on the hill.
A fine, large house is charmingly
situated on the hillside amid tne trees
and shrubbery, occupied by Mr.
Douglass and family, and remarkable
for .the neatness, good taste and Te
fiuement in and around it
Major Thomas H. Handbury, Corp3
of Engineers, TJ. S. Army, is the en
gineer for the Thirteenth District,
whose office is located at Portland,
and a number of articles used in his
department are also stored at the
depot
If all the other fifteen districts have
as efficient an inspector and engineer
at Captain Rhoades and Major Hand
bury, as fine a tender and as well
commanded .us the steamer Jlan-
zan ila and Capt Richardson, as good a
depot aud as faithful a keeper as the
buoy depot and Mr. Douglass, then it
cau safely be said that the lighthouse
establishment of the treasury depart
ment is a highly creditable branch of
Uncle Sam's vast governmental ma
chinery. Some of the candidates for office
who this morning expect confidently

THE UXXTEJ STATES CEXSUS.
The United States census enumer
ators begin to-day in Astoria, Clatsop
county, Oregon, and every where else
all over the country, from Maine to
California, from Florida to "Washing
ton. The United States census of 1880
was the most complete and compre
hensive ever taken in any country,
and the one for 1890 -will be even bet
ter, if possible, than the one for 1880.
When the enormous amount and
variety of valuable statistics to be com
piled "from this census is taken into
consideration, the list of questions to
be asked do not seem at all absurd,
although at a first glance many of
them seem very ridiculous to the un
initiated. Not only must the total population
of the United States be obtained, but
the number of males, females, native,
foreign, white, colored, Chinese,
Japanese, civilized Indians, the num
ber of inalus over 21 years of age, and
what percentage of these are white,
what percentage colored, including
Clunese, Japanese and Indians. The
percentage of the whites that are
native, and the percentage of foreign
born, must also be ascertained. The
number of males of military age 18
to 4rl years inclusive is also a subject
of inquiry.
It must also be decided where the
center of population of the United
States lies. In 1880 it was eight miles
west by south of Cincinnati, Ohio. It
is variously estimated now, however,
to lie from 100 to 500 miles west of
this ioint In 1870 it was -18 miles
east by north of Cinciunati.
The number of families and of
dwellings must be ascertained, and
also the number of families and the
number of persons to a square mile, as
well as the average number of persons
to a family and the average number of
persons to a dwelling. In 18S0 there
were in the United .States 9,945,910
families and 8,955,812 dwellings. The
number of families to a square mile
3.13; number of persons, 17.29. The
average number of persons to a fam
family was 5.04 and to a dwelling 5.G0.
The number of persons 10 years of
age and upwards must be culled from
the census returns by the statisticians,
and the percentage of these that are
unable to read or write, and the color
and sex of each, as well as what per
centage of the whites unable to write
are native, and what per cent are for
eign born.
Then, again, the number of farms
in the United btates must be given,
and the percentage occupied by the
owners, as well as the average size of
the farms, and the amount of live
stock on the farms, and the amount of
acreage of various crops.
The number of manufacturing es
tablishments must also be ascertained,
as well as the number of employes of
each, average wages paid, amount of
material used, value of produots. The
percentage of material used in the
United Stales, and the percentage of
native born, and foreign laborers must
be ascertained.
The products of all mines must be
given and the section of country furn
ishing the largest amount of ores
must be ascertained. The production
of oysters is also a subject of inquiry.
Besides the above there aro many
minor subjects that affect only certain
sections of the country that must be
inquired into.
When the amount aud the variety
of information that must bo gleaned
from these census returns aro taken
into consideration, the number of
questions to bb asked seems grossly
inadequate to the information re
quired. To be sure it is likely to make a
person feel very peculiar, to say the
least, to have a stranger call at the
door ask it there are any convicts in
the family, or how many insane people
or idiots there are living under that
roof, whether you are white or black,
and if you know how to read and
write. But a person must take into
consideration the fact that whatever
they may disclose to these enumera
tors will go no further, under a severe
penalty imposed by law.
Following are the questions to bo
asked of people in the cities.
What is your name? How old are
you? What is your sex? Where
were you born? What is your occu
pation? Aro you blind? Are you
deaf and dumb? Aro you insane or
idiotic? White or black? Foreign or
native born? Foreign or native paren
tage? Can you read or write? Do
you attend school? Are you a pau
per? How much real estate do you
own? Are you a voterr Have you a
family? Have you a house? If mar
ried in what year? Any deaths in
your family since last census?
In the various countries of the
world the questions to be asked vary.
In no country are there more ques
tions asked than in the United States.
The number asked in Ireland is the
same as in the United States. The
questions vary, however. An Irish
man does not have to tell what his
color is. nor whether he is a convict,
nor does-he have to tell whether he is
a pauper, or the amount of real estate
he owns. But on the other hand he
must tell how many stories high, his
house is, what material it is built of
and whether it has a roof or not, and
if so, what the roof is made of.
In Hanover the smallest number of
questions is asked of any country.
There are but seven on the list Per
sons are not compelled to give their
names, but must disclose their sex, age,
occupation, civil condition, whether
they are blind, deaf or dumb, and
their religious belief.
Russia and Switzerland arc the only
two countries besides Hanover where
a person is not expected to give their
name.
In several countries persons are ex
pected to tell whether or not they have
certain diseases peculiar to those
countries.
In no country besides the United
States is a person required to tell
whether or not he is a convict
The enumerators expect some diffi
culty with ignorant people in obtain
ing tne aesirea. iniormauon, dui ao
not think that any well informed per
son, who is acquainted with the rea
sons for asking the questions, and the
advantages to be derived from the
large amount of statistical information
to be acquired, will refuse to answer
the questions.
The law is very explicit about the
duties of citizens when they are ap
proached for information. It declares
that in case of any refusal to give the
information sought the citizen shall
be subject to a fine of $30. Whatever
maybe the enumerator's opinion of
the questions on the schedule, it is
hoped that no one will refuse to an
swer them, because the law will cer
tainly be invoked in every case of re
fusal, and so far as can. be learned,
citizens can have no possible redrew
in the matter. Enumerators are not,
however, empowered to test the cor
rectness of the answers which they re
ceive bv personal examination of the
Lperson of whom they receive them, or
by any other conrse wiiicn may
be deemed to be in the nature of pry
ing into private affairs.
If the people wish to deny that thfcy
aro suffering from acute or chronic
diseases, or that they have any physi
cal defects, or that any one of the
family is a prisoner, convict, homeless
child or pauper, or whether any one
may have been divorced, or whether a
body may be of one age or anothor, or
whether owners of property are well
loaded up with mortgages or not all
these matters rest entirely upon the
conscience of the people whom the
ennmerators shall visit. There is only
one way to answer these queries, and
that is to tell the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth. The
enumerators cannot impart the infor
mation to any one under pain of fine
and imprisonment, and information
gathered will only appear in the form"
of figures in the census bureau's
report Individual cases will not ap
pear in tins report, and will be lost to
sight in a mass of fignres.
The questions to be proposed by the
enumerators have been carefully pre
pared, and are just what they want for
purposes which will be useful to both
the government and the people. They
are not asked for morbid curiosity, but
for a legitimate and useful purpose.
Twenty of the twenty-six questions
to be asked have passed theordeal of
practical application aud six are ex
periments. The latter six are as fol fel fol
eows: Whether suffering from aculo or
chronic disease, with name of disease
and length of timo afllicted.
Whether defective iu luiud, sight,
hearing or speech, or whether crippled,
maimed or deformed, with name of de
fect. Whether a prisoner, convict, home-less
child or pauper.
Ls the house you live in hired, or is it
owned by tho head or n member of the
family?
If owned by tho head or a member of
family, is tho house freo from mortgage
incumbrance?
If the hoass is owned bj' head or mem
ber of family and mortgaged, what is
postomco address of ownerr
Some of these questions are impos
sible of direct and correct answers.
Men die every day in ignorance of the
nature of the disease which is sapping
their strength. They know they are
not well, but do not know what ails
them. Physicians differ in opinion as
to the nature of the illncs, and not in
frequently all fail to make a correct
guess. It seems silly, therefore, for
the census men to ask questions which
in many cases cannot be truthfully
answered. The question whether a per
son is defective in mind, sight, hearing
or speech is, to an extent, a matter of
comparison. Most persons at about
40 begin to use glasses. Are they to
be put down as defective in sight?
A little later in life the un
pleasant discovery is often made that
the cars are not so acute as they
onco were. Are such defective in
hearing? Very few persons are will
ing to admit that they are defective in
mind. It sometimes takes a commis
sion composed of learned men to de
cide whether a person is sound in
mind or not There are degrees of
unsoundness, and in the early stages
of aientil decay the evidences aro not
unmistakable. Tho idea of asking a
person to put himself on record as a
convict or pauper is a little absurd.
To persons in penitentiary or alms
house the question answers itself, and
if asked of persons at liberty and at
the timo earning their own living, it is
an unnecessary provocation to untruth.
Census questions should be limited to
such as men cau answer, and also to
such as they may answer truthfully
without incurring disgrace. There is
a general law that a person should not
be compelled to criminate or disgrace
himself. A man may have been con
victed of crime aud lived the disgrace
down. Ho may have been convicted
under circumstances which extracted
all disgrace from conviction. The law
often requires judges to pass sentences
for acts which they feel they would
commit themselves under like circum
stances. But as the penalty for re
fusing to answer is S100 it will not be
safe to refuse.

which it was easih removed from the
ear with a syringe. She was led to ex

No matter what trade or
profession j'ou choose you
will easily detect the men of
original ideas; the men who
push themselves and the town
they live :n ahead; men who
are a credit to their profession
and tho community they live
iu : but you are also sure to find
the imitators, those who are
at the rear end of the proces
sion, men who never have an
original, bright thought or do
an original, bright act. If let
alone they will exist on what
liberal, unsuspecting people
permit themselves to be rob
bed of; but no sooner does
the original, enterprising man
make a move, and the imitat
ing tail-ender tries to benefit
by his superior's genius.
Note the wpak attempts of
the old-styled shops to imitate
