WHO WILL TAKE
THE CENSUS
I ALASKA
- — ■■■♦-——
The 1920 census in Alaska will be
taken under the direction of W. T.
l,oop, superintendent of education of
the natives of the territory and chief
of the Alaska division, and under the
immediate supervision of the six
school superintendents of the bureau.
The school superintendents are desig
nated as special agents for the taking
>.
of the census in their respective dis
tricts and will have charge of the se
lection and appointment of census
enumerators. The plan is to have as
many enumerators as possible, in
order to save traveling expenses,
which are heavy in Alaska. In remote
regions, government school teachers
will be the enumerators. The pay of
an enumerator will be $6 per day,
with an allowance of $4 per day for
subsistance. It is estimated that it
will cost $40,000 to take the census
in Alaska.
C. W. Hawkesworth of Juneau, will
have charge of the census enumera
tion in the first census district in
Alaska, which comprises the First ju
dicial district.
Arthur H. Miller , of Anchorage,
will be in charge of the enumeration
in the second census district, which
takes in the Third judicial division.
John H. Kilbuck, of Akiak, Kusko
kwim, will have charge of the census
in the Third district, which com
prises a part of the Second and
Fourth judicial divisions.
F. Li. Forbes of Tanana will super
vise the enumeration in the fourth
census district, which takes in the
greater part of the Fourth judicial
division.
E. D. Evans, of Nome, will control
the enumeration in the Fifth census
district, which comprises the most of
the Second judicial division.
James H. Maguire of Kotzebue will
supervise the sixth census district
which composes a part of the Second
and the Fourth juricial divisions.

SAVINGS STAMPS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Uncle
Sam's newest possession, the Virgin
Islands, has taken most readily to
American ideals, according to news

the treasury department. The small

largely of the foreign born, yet near
ly $2500 worth of War Savings Stamps
has been sold there this year, the
per capita purchases comparing most
favorably with any of the states of
the Union.
The purchases for the island up to
the end of August this year averag
ed $17.25 for each square mile of the
territory purchased from Denmark in
1916. The sales were made through
the postoffices of the islands.

FAIRBANKS NEWSPAPER
INQUIRES OF MEARS
(From Fairbanks News- Miner)
Just to remind him that we are still
! his friend, earnestly seeking after in
formation about the things that bei
or seem to be in connection with rail-!
road threats or promises, the News
Miner is opening up a one-sided cor
respondence with Commissioner
Mears of the Alaska Railroad at
Anchorage. We send him every
story regarding his railroad, write
him personal letters and do our part
although we have as yet received no
answers. Yesterday we sent him the
following wire, and are awaiting the
answer:
Fairbanks, Dec. 7, 1919.
Commissioner Mears, Anchorage.
Your Railroad Record says we have
rail connection Nenana and coal. You '
promised us this. Woodmen took it as
threat and now we have no coal and
are short of wood. We’re told the rail I
will not be laid across ice without!
guarantee to pay and we don’t even!
know' that Nenana has coal or that it
will burn although we want to be
lieve and would buy if coal is good.
So far your promise has been a detri
ment to us and now becomes threat
‘a our welfare. What’s the answer?
Freight here to Nenana town fifty
miles, now about forty-seven dollars
ton. Seems high enough.
