LIVE STOCK ON THE RANGES ANSWERS TO CENSUS ENUMERATORS WILL BE HELD CONFIDENTIAL Preparations Making for Accurate Inventory—Ranchers Assured Their Interests Will Not Be Affected by Frank Disclosures of Possessions The United States Census Bureau is making extraordinary preparations to ascertain the approximately exact number and value of live stock on the ranges in the United States on April 15 next, the date of the livestock inventory, as required by the act of Congress providing for the Thirteenth Decennial Census. Fearful that for one reason or another the live-stock raisers may be deterred from freely stating the number and value of their holdings, the Census Bureau is exerting unusual efforts to assure the ranchmen and farmers, especially of the western states, that their interests, whether personal or corporate, can not possibly be affected in any way by their frank and full disclosure of their livestock possessions. The information gathered by the Census Office is held strictly confidential not only in respect to the fact that under no circumstances is it ever imparted to any one not connected with the Census Office, but in respect to its ever being given to any other branch of the Government. "In behalf of the Census Bureau," said Assistant Director William F. Willoughby, "I can give as positive assurance of the confidential treatment of information called for by the live-stock questions in the general agricultural schedule as I could if a confidence were to be imposed upon me personally and privately. The Census Bureau is concerned only in the collection and publication of statistical next. Not only will this plan produce farm statistics of incalculable value and benefit to the farmers themselves, but it will make it possible for the enumerators to trespass no more upon the farmers' working time than is absolutely necessary. The enumeration must be completed within thirty days. The enumerators are held responsible for the general accuracy of the schedules carried by them, and they are required to give farmers such time as may be necessary to answer fully and accurately each question asked. To assist farmers in preparing the required data, the following suggestions are offered: What is a farm?—A farm, for Census purposes, is all of the land operated by, or under the personal direction of, one individual, regardless of whether he owns it, leases it from others, or operates it as a hired manager. The farm may consist of one tract, or of two or more separate tracts. A farmer who leases land to others must not include such land in his report of farm acreage. He must include only the land personally operated by him. Farms that have changed hands.—A farmer who is operating a farm on April 15, 1910, which he did not work during 1909, must confine his report to the land operated by him at the time of the enumeration. He must not report any crops grown by him in 1909 on land which he is not farming in 1910. A man who takes possession of a new farm prior to the date of enumeration should secure from the farmer who worked it in 1909 a statement of the products raised by him in that year and report the same to the enumerator. Main objects of Farm Census.—There are two principal objects of the Farm Census. The first is to obtain a complete statement or inventory of the farm wealth of the United States on April 15; 1910; the second is to obtain as complete and accurate records.

"In behalf of the Census Bureau," said Assistant Director William F. Willoughby, "I can give as positive assurance of the confidential treatment of information called for by the live-stock questions in the general agricultural schedule as I could if a confidence were to be imposed upon me personally and privately. The Census Bureau is concerned only in the collection and publication of statistical facts. The spirit of every act of congress providing for the various decennial censuses has been, and is, that the information as to individuals, firms and corporations is to be given inviolable secrecy. It is as much 'privileged information' as that imparted by a client to a lawyer, by a patient to a physician, by a dying man to a minister. It can not even be imparted to another branch of the Federal government, no matter how much the information may be desired. No court ever has or ever will ignore this 'immunity' from personal or business involvement shown in return for information required by United States census inquiries. To do otherwise would impair, if not wholly destroy, the scientific efficiency of the census work. So far as the live-stock census is concerned, the bureau, following fair, impartial, and unbiased methods, quickly separates the person, firm, or corporation from the facts furnished, and private or corporate identity in connection with any census data remains forever sealed and sacred in the great safes of the Census office." The Director's Report In his annual report for 1909 to Secretary Nagel, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, Census Director Durand stated: "The thirteenth census act is more specific than that for the Twelfth Census with respect to penalties upon supervisors, enumerators, or other employees who disclose information which they secure, or who make false returns. While there is no evidence that employees of the Census Bureau in the past have been guilty of improper disclosure of information—except, possibly, in a very few cases—these more specific provisions for penalties are highly advantageous. Although the census law requires persons interrogated to furnish the information called for on the duly authorized schedules, reliance for the prompt and accurate returns must rest largely upon the good will of those making the returns. Manufacturers, farmers, and others will not session of a new farm prior to the date of enumeration should secure from the farmer who worked it in 1909 a statement of the products raised by him in that year and report the same to the enumerator. Main objects of Farm Census. — There are two principal objects of the Farm Census. The first is to obtain a complete statement or inventory of the farm wealth of the United States on April 15; 1910; the second is to obtain as complete and accurate a statement as possible of the farm operations in the calendar year 1910. The farm inventory.—The following suggestions regarding the best methods of preparing a farm inventory may be of assistance to those farmers who desire to be ready for the visit of the enumerator. The practice of stock taking, or taking an inventory, at least once each year, is general among manufacturers and merchants. It shows the merchant where he stands. It guides his plans for the coming year and, in connection with his accounts, makes it possible at the close of the year to determine whether the business has been conducted at a profit or at a loss. A carefully prepared inventory is of even greater value to the average farmer than to the merchant, for the reason that the latter usually keeps an accurate daily record of all of his business transactions and hence is less dependent upon an inventory for his annual balance sheet than the farmer, who ordinarily keeps no books, and who commonly invests his surplus income, as fast as it accrues, in additional land or equipment. It makes little difference whether the annual inventory is taken April 15 or some other date. The date decided upon by Congress for the Farm Census of 1910 is April 15. It marks the beginning of the crop year for the greater part of the country, and for this reason is a logical time to take stock. The advantages of a farmer always having on hand for ready reference a detailed written statement of his farm property are readily understood by everyone, and will be most keenly appreciated when the Census enumerator calls next April. DEMONSTRATION TRAIN Afternoon and Evening Meeting to Be Held Here March 9th The demonstration train will arrive in Anaheim the afternoon of Mar. 9, and an afternoon and evening meet DEMONSTRATION TRAIN Afternoon and Evening Meeting to Be Held Here March 9th The demonstration train will arrive in Anaheim the afternoon of Mar. 9, and an afternoon and evening meeting will be held here. The afternoon meeting will be held aboard the cars, where exhibits will be on display and lectures delivered by University professors. The evening meeting will be held at the opera-house, the program for which will appear in our next issue. A description of the demonstration train was printed in these columns some weeks ago. The article was authentic, having been forwarded especially for publication in this journal. The exhibits contained in the various cars were referred to in detail, and names given of professors accompanying the train. The evening meeting will be under auspices of the Chamber of Commerce. To Mr. Neff is credit due for arranging the evening meeting. I regret very much that we cannot use your story, said the magazine editor, handing back the manuscript. Its astonishing how much really good literature we are compelled to decline. Its more astonishing, though, said the disgruntled author of the story, that you never let any of it get into your magazine. WRITES IN FAVOR OF SEWERS MARCH OF IMPROVEMENTS IN ANAHEIM SHOULD NOT BE STOPPED Need of An Adequate System Paramount Issue of the Hour—Advice to City Trustees and Chamber of Commerce—What Other Southern California Towns are Doing Editor Gazette.—I would beg a little space in your paper to say a few words concerning Anaheim. Last autumn when the streets were in process of being paved and everything was moving along quite satisfactory to the people, it was generally understood and talked of as the next proper move for the good of this community to commence on would be the necessary preliminaries to building a sewer system. I have talked with a great many property owners and I have to meet with the first one yet that is opposed to it. All seem to see the general necessity of it. It is an undisputed fact that with the dwellings going up in all directions and the further fact that there are now in contemplation three or four brick blocks to be built, that this is no time to halt and let the spirit of improvement die out, for the want of some organization to take hold and push a little at the proper time. I was walking up the street a few days ago when I overheard a stranger make remark that Anaheim had some good clean streets. Well that makes us feel proud, and so we should. For as far even as we have paved the streets we can see that it has done a lot of good for Anaheim. Such a contrast between this winter and the one previous, when the mud and slush was hub deep. To the property owners along Center street is due credit for this improvement, yearly maintenance is an hand, which should be low. In Riverside the city engineer recommends a separate line system rather than a combined system. For the reason that it cost less to flush a separate system where the cost of water must be taken into consideration. With only one and a half miles to outfall as in Riverside the separate system might be used, but at a longer distance it is doubtful on account of the greater cost of construction. The size of pipe for sewers depends on the population and hotels and factories, but for the main conduits separate system twelve inch pipe is used, and twenty inch for combined sewer to outfall. The size of pipe for laterals runs from 6 to 8 to 10 inches. The cost of building a total of twenty-six miles of sewers was $112,000, and the yearly maintenance of same was about $2300, including water for flushing which in Riverside costs $1,500. Pasadena bought 480 acres for a sewer farm and has put in 72 miles of sewers at a cost of $450,000, but the cost to maintain this system is but $1000 per year. If Anaheim has a natural fall toward the ocean of eleven feet to the mile there is no costly problem to encounter and by taking advantage of any mistakes that other towns have made in getting up their systems, I believe we can put in a thorough system, including sewer farm all complete for something less than $80,000 and this to stand good for a population of ten thousand inhabitants. Respectfully. D. R. KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL Health is Worth Saving, and Some Anaheim People Know How to Save It Many Anaheim people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs... I was walking up the street a few days ago when I overheard a stranger make remark that Anaheim had some good clean streets. Well that makes us feel proud, and so we should. For as far even as we have paved the streets we can see that it has done a lot of good for Anaheim. Such a contrast between this winter and the one previous, when the mud and slush was hub deep. To the property owners along Center street is due credit for this improvement, for in order to get it they had to get into business contact with the street builders direct and also to bring in their backward neighbors. It took some hustling but it was accomplished. So far so good. Now to look at it in a business-like way. Suppose a big hotel is built here. What can be done with the sewage, if there is no sewer to connect to, and the same with all other big buildings. I was told that there has been three or four cesspools dug already to the rear of some of the buildings that have been in use for a number of years. There were seven or eight cesspools either caved in or broke down with the last big rain we had, so it is plain to all that we are wasting money and time by not having a sewer built as soon as possible. I believe with a great many others that if our hungry chamber of commerce could spare a little time between banquets and take hold with the people and all pull together for a sewer, there would be small chance for a doubt that we would get it. I believe with good management the chamber of commerce can find time to do some work on this sewer question. We haven't heard from our city board of trustees for so long we wouldn't even hazard a guess as to what they may think about sewers. Now, fellow citizens, throwing all pleasantry aside, you know very well that there is lots of valuable time going to waste and you are not making one practical or feasible move toward preparing for and putting in a needed sewer system. What have you to say for yourselves? Are you going to let all the spirit of improvement that was imbibed by the paving of streets sink below zero, or are you going to make some practical effort to keep the good work going on? What about it? Let us look around us and then see what other towns are doing in the line of improvement. The town of Corona has just put in a sewer system although they were not as muchough system, including sewer farm all complete for something less than $80,000 and this to stand good for a population of ten thousand inhabitants. Respectfully. D.R. KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL Health is Worth Saving, and Some Anaheim People Know How to Save It Many Anaheim people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is an Anaheim citizen's recommendation: Mrs. Fred Dyckman, 112 N. Lemon street, Anaheim, Cal., says: "For a long time I was subject to attacks of backache. Any work which required stooping, caused my back to pain me intensely and I was also afflicted with headaches and dizzy spells. I knew that my kidneys were disordered, as the secretions were irregular in passage and otherwise unnatural. A relative who had used Doan's Kidney Pills with good results, advised me to try them and I procured a supply at Mullinix's drug store. I found prompt relief and when I had taken the contents of three boxes, I felt better in every way. I cannot speak too highly of Doan's Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

What about it? Let us look around us and then see what other towns are doing in the line of improvement. The town of Corona has just put in a sewer system although they were not as much in need of one as Anaheim. In Corona they have a heavy fall to the north to Temescal wash, in a coarse pebbly gravel, but as soon as the necessity for it came they took hold and voted a bond of one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars for same. The conditions in Anaheim are very similar to those of Pomona or Santa Ana. In Pomona under the gravity system they have seven miles to the outfall and use for same a twelve-inch glazed vitrified pipe with ten miles of laterals connected to the main sewer of from six to eight inch pipe. In this system a septic tank at sewer farm is used. This whole sewer system cost $45,000 and the cost of maintaining same is $4000 annually which would seem to be somewhat expensive. The sewer system at Santa Ana is constructed somewhat different from Pomona, with only two miles to outfall, but about twenty miles of conduits of four different sizes of pipe, ranging from six inch at laterals to fourteen inches at main sewer. Sewage is used for irrigation in summer and turned into the Santa Ana river in winter. This system cost $65,000, but no information as to cost of the (CONTINUED) When a pupil reaches the point where he begins to take dictation, we do not give easy "dictation book" exercises but take an article, full of hard words, from some business magazine for his first dictation. Thus our pupils begin to write hard matter right from the start and are prepared, at the end of their course, to either take the U. S. Civil Service examination—which by the way, is not "commercial letter" dictation but an article taken from some magazine or government publication—or he can enter the commercial field, far in advance of one who has taken only commercial dictation. Each pupil in the Shorthand department has a desk and a typewriter for his own use. Not an old wornout machine but a machine brand new from the factory. One receives ten times more practice on the typewriter and six times more dictation in Shorthand here than he can get in any other Business College west of the Mississippi river. If you are ambitious to do stenographic work, be a court reporter, private secretary, or office stenographer, these ambitions can be realized by taking a Shorthand Course in this well known institution of the southwest.
