AID THE CENSUS TAKERS
All residents of Alaska and all
these interested in Alaska should do
all within their power to assist the
•numerators who are taking the cen
sus of this territory. By co-operation
in all respects on the part of every
body the statistics gathered for the
territory will be more complete and
accurate. It will be of inestimable ad
vantage to the territory to have the
•numeration of the population com
plete and the statistics accurate in
every particular.
There is no need tor apprehension
feat answers to the enumerators’
questions will cause increased taxa
tion, legal entanglements or other con
sequences injurious to their welfare.
Clergymen, editors, teachers, em
ployers, traveling agents, public offi
cials and other public-spirited citizens
who come in contact with large num
bers of people are asked to grasp ev
ery opportunity to correct any erro- .
upous impressions people may have
about the census and to correct any
false opinions they may hear ex
pressed. All citizens are called upon
to assist in the gigantic task of taking
fee census by ready compliance with
fee requests officially made by enu
merators and to prepare for the com
ing of these officials of the govern
ment. The act of congress authoriz
ing the taking of the census makes
H obligatory and the duty of all per
sons to answer the questions pro
pounded. All statements and statis
tics given the enumerators are strictly
confidential. The reports will only
deal with totals.
Heads of families, teachers in •
schools, employers, officers and clerks
mt corporations employing men and
women, clergymen—all who have lists
•f people in their keeping, particu
larly those who know of those who,
a,r-e temporarily out of the territory,
should aid the enumerators in every
way possible to make a correct count
cf the people of Alaska. Students at
Outside schools of all characters,
those whose real residence is in
Alaska, are entitled to he counted in
Alaska’s population.
Ten years ago the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce, Commercial Club, Ro
tary Club and other civic organiza
tions appointed committees to aid the
enumerators, and by that means the
population of that city was prevented
from being shown as many thousands
under the real population of the city.
VOICE CF THE ALASKA PRESS
Those fellows at Ketchikan who told
the judge that Santa Claus left a gal
lon of whisky in their room for a
Christmas present must have routed
•14 Santa by way of British Columbia.

Few people have lauded Alaska as
•ne of the great winter resorts, but
mot a few who have experienced the
balmy air and mild weather of last
winter and this one to date are willing
to go so far as to say that there are
bo states in the Union which have
more claim to being excellent winter
resorts than has Alaska. When they
were suffering with zero weather in
the Sound we in Alaska were basking
1b the delights of a spring rain and
almost budding trees—Skagway Alas
The people of Fairbanks and Ne
Bama are getting closer together.
There was abundant evidence of a
growing friendship during the brief
time the New Year excursionists re
mained with us, and there is a dispo
sition on the part of both towns to
strive for still closer relations, com
mercially and socially. Excursions
each as the one arranged by the Moose
of Nenana will help a lot to attain
the desired end.—Nenana News.
