CENSUS MAN TO BE HERE SOON WILL ASK MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR OCCUPATION Uncle Sam Wants to Know What You Do for a Living, Whether you Are Temporarily Unemployed Or Are Working Every Day—Old Man Becoming Inquisitive (Correspondence of The Gazette) The "occupation" question in the United States census population schedule to be carried by the enumerators during the Thirteenth Decennial Census, beginning April 15 next, applies to everybody living in the United States on the date mentioned, which is the Census Day, and all the population schedule questions relate to it only. In its printed instructions to enumerators the Census Bureau holds that the occupation followed by a child or a woman is just as important, for census purposes, as the occupation of a man. Therefore the enumerators are told never to take it for granted without inquiry that a person or in the dwelling place for which the enumeration is being made. The head of the family is to be entered first; then the wife; next the children, whether sons or daughters, in the order of their ages; and lastly, all other persons living with the family, whether relatives, boarders, lodgers, or servants. The head of the family, whether husband or father, widow or unmarried person of either sex, is to be designated by the word "head;" and the other members of a family as wife, father, mother, son, daughter, grandson, daughter-in-law, uncle, aunt, niece, boarder, lodger, servant, etc., according to the particular relationship which the person bears to the head of the family.

The only campaign canard thus early sprung upon Mr. Phillips is that he was once incarcerated in the San Juan jail, and Alcalde Egan refused to permit him to be bailed out. It was during a republican high jinks following the McKinley triumph, when many feared the state would go daffy on the free silver issue. The state had been abandoned as lost by the national committee, but the country papers rallied to the call, and so well did they pound and expand the doctrine of honest money, that the national committee sat up and took notice of what was doing. Boutelle of Maine was sent out, and then Butterworth of Ohio. The tide was turning. Tom Reed came out, and the greatest campaign in the history of the State was brought to a successful close. Then the republicans of Orange county broke loose. They chartered a special train and went to San Juan and had a barbecue, presided over by Don Marco Forster. High jinks ran high. The Mission town had just installed a steel cage in its adobe calaboose. The boys put Mit Phillips and Henry Yount in it for a josh. That was the only time Mit ever got mad in his life. The boys told him the madder he got longer he would have to stay in. After the special train left, both were let out, and they had to walk home. Now Mit is a candidate for supervisor. He had best have remained in jail. LOW RATE OF BIRTH IN FRANCE Charles Turquot, writing in Je Sais Tout, a Parisian journal, predicts that at the present low rate of increase of population France will occupy in 1950 the lowest place among the greater powers, adding that Von Moltke spoke but the truth when he said, "the French lose a battle every day." According to the statistics of the last five years, says Turquot, the population of France has increased but 330,000, while that of Germany was given over to riotic exercises, to cal boys and girls which surrounds therof His County his efficient corps highly complimentence of their pupil Ames, music instruction praise for them in which the child gram was as follow Seventh and Eighth Music—Battle-Hillic.

Or if a woman, in addition to doing housework in her own home, regularly earns money by some other occupation, whether pursued in her own home or outside, that occupation should be returned. For instance, a woman who regularly takes in washing should be reported as laundress or washerwoman. The official definitions of the terms "dwelling house" and "family," with reference to the population schedule to be carried by the enumerators. The words "dwelling house" and "family" are, for census purposes, given a much wider application than they have in ordinary speech. A "dwelling" is defined as a place in which, at the time of the census, one or more persons regularly sleep. It need not be a house in the common meaning of the word, but may be, for example, a room in a factory, store, or office building, a loft over a stable, a canal boat, a tent, or a wigwam. The term also includes a hotel, boarding or lodging house, a tenement or apartment house, an institution or school building, if persons regularly sleep there, as well as the ordinary dwelling house. A "family," as a census term, may mean a group of individuals who occupy jointly a dwelling place or part of a dwelling place, or an individual living alone in any place of abode. All the occupants and employees of a hotel, if they regularly sleep there, make up a single family, because they occupy one dwelling place, and persons living alone in cabins, huts, or tents; persons occupying a room or rooms in public buildings, stores, factories, warehouses or stables; and persons sleeping on river boats, canal boats, barges, etc., if they have no other usual place of abode, are regarded as families. The enumerators are required to enter on the schedule the name of every person whose usual place of abode on April 15 was with the fam- LOW RATE OF BIRTH IN FRANCE Charles Turquot, writing in Je Sais Tout, a Parisian journal, predicts that at the present low rate of increase of population France will occupy in 1950 the lowest place among the greater powers, adding that Von Moltke spoke but the truth when he said, "the French lose a battle every day." According to the statistics of the last five years, says Turquot,the population of France has increased but 330,000, while that of Germany has increased by 4,000,000, or in a ratio of seven to one. Again, he calls attention to the fact that while the military forces of France in 1870 were just about equal to those of Germany, the latter nation at the present time could put in the field twice as many men as could France. The low birth rate is responsible for this condition. For example, in the Cote d'Or department, during the last six months of last year, there were 2843 births and 3949 deaths, and in the department of Yonne there were 2382 births and 3627 deaths. So it will be seen that in the contest between Life and Death in these two rich departments the grim spirit has about 46 per cent the better of it, and in varying degrees the rule is the same throughout France. Turquot suggests no remedy unless one be implied in his contention that French parents are too desirous to provide well financially for their progeny, so desirous, indeed, that they limit the number of them too closely.

Sherwood Has a Swing on the Flying Trapeze Engineer Mulholland of the Los Angeles aqueduct visited the Yorba reservoir on Sunday a week ago, in company of Messrs. Hale, Bradford and Sherwood of the water board. After viewing the reservoir, Engineer Mulholland expressed himself favorably upon it, saying the dam had been built in workmanlike manner. Br. Sherwood, whose long suit is importing outside engineers to inspect the reservoir, was instrumental in bringing Mulholland here. Sherwood, it will be remembered, was ready to tear his shirt for the reservoir so long as he was the water company's engineer, but when the directors put rollers under him, he bucked the reservoir like a billy goat from the Grampion hills.

Ustick, known as the Clemens place, located about one mile south of town, has been bought by W. G. Clark for a cash consideration of $18,500. This place is highly improved, having a nearly-new 7 room house now Muhholland expressed himself favorably upon it, saying the dam had been built in workmanlike manner. Br. Sherwood, whose long suit is importing outside engineers to inspect the reservoir, was instrumental in bringing Mulholland here. Sherwood, it will be remembered, was ready to tear his shirt for the reservoir so long as he was the water company's engineer, but when the directors put rollers under him, he bucked the reservoir like a billy goat from the Grampion hills. Why Mulholland was imported to look over the reservoir did not leak out of the executive session, but it was probably to permit Br. Sherwood to indulge his favorite pastime of taking a swing on the flying trapeze. Secretary Armstrong furnishes the Gazette the following thrilling account of the water board meeting on Saturday when Mulholland's report, written by Br. Sherwood, was read: Anaheim, Feb. 19, 1910. A regular meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company was held on the above date, with Directors Crowther, Bradford, Hale, McLauchlin, Porter and Sherwood present, and Director Drake absent. An agreement from Wm. Holve, in regard to the payment for constructing a pipe line upon the soda line of his property, was read and ordered filed. It was ordered that two gates be placed in the main canal, for delivery of water upon the Janas tract, and if the parties located there shall agree to reimburse the company for the cost of constructing a ditch for the division and delivery of water to them, that the superintendent be instructed to have the ditch constructed. Mr. Nebelung appeared before the board and stated that three very old record books of the original Anaheim water company had come into his possession, and he wished to turn them over to this company for safekeeping. A motion was carried that the books be accepted from Mr. Nebelung. A communication from E. J. Maack making application for the construction of a short pipe line for delivery of water to the west side of his property was referred to the ditch committee for investigation. A communication from the board of trustees of the city of Anaheim, requesting that the company pipe a certain ditch across West street, was referred to the ditch committee to investigate.

Andrews of its Anaheim office, for the past two weeks, showing that there is strong demand for improved ranch property as well as unimproved acreage. The 33 acre ranch of E. P. Ustick, known as the Clemens place, located about one mile south of town, has been bought by W. G. Clark for a cash consideration of $18,500. This place is highly improved, having a nearly-new 7 room house, fine pumping plant and in 7 year old walnuts. The 15 acre walnut grove of E. M. Koll, located on Chapman avenue, about one mile east of Fullerton, has been bought by S. E. Hilliard of Colorado, for $15,000 cash. This was previously known as the Krug place, and has been purchased by Mr. Hilliard as a permanent home for himself and family. The 5 1-2 acre walnut grove of J. E. Walker, located just south of the Santa Fe depot, Fullerton, on Spadra street, has been sold to John E. Phillips of Los Angeles, for $11,-000. Mr. Phillips paid cash for the place, buying it for a country home for his family. This is considered one of the handsomest improved places in this entire section, having very fine modern improvements. Mr. Walker has moved to Los Angeles where he will take up the building line of business. Godfrey Betz has bought of J. C. Williams and J. B. Andrews 18 acres of unimproved land south of this city for $7200 cash. Mr. Betz is one of the oldest residents of Anaheim and has made this purchase to improve the property by setting oranges. He has already purchased the trees and is now leveling off the land preparatory to planting. The 11 acre walnut grove located south of Anaheim previously owned by Mrs. Ida McGraw has been purchased by A. M. Higgins for a consideration of $6500. A communication from E. J. Maack making application for the construction of a short pipe line for delivery of water to the west side of his property was referred to the ditch committee for investigation. A communication from the board of trustees of the city of Anaheim requesting that the company pipe a certain ditch across West street was referred to the ditch committee to investigate and report at next meeting. A letter was received from California Portland cement company in regard to the re-selling of cement. The secretary was instructed to notify the cement company that we furnish cement to our stockholders only, and that for ditch purposes. An application from W. L. Thales for the purchase of pipe was referred to the superintendent with power. A motion was carried that the bond of the secretary for $5000 be accepted and delivered to the president. The applications on file for the transfer of stock were on motion granted. Jacob Wittmer requested that a cement ditch be constructed on a certain alley leading to West street and that the earth ditch now in use be abandoned. The matter was referred to ditch committee to report at the next meeting. A letter from J. W. Newell in regard to turning water into the cement ditch at the north end of his ranch was referred to the ditch committee. A committee of Directors Sherwood, Hale and Bradford gave a report of their visit to the Yorba reservoir with Engineer Mulholland. Mr. Mulholland reported favorably upon the condition of the reservoir. He thought that owing to the amount of seepage in the body of the reservoir that it was inadvisable to spend any money to prevent seepage through AT RESERVOIR CONFIDENCE IN STATE OF THE DAM Reservoir Slight, and decrease Year by Year Has a Swing on rapeze Holland of the Los sect visited the Yorba Monday a week ago, in ssrs.

The sessions in the morning and afternoon were given over to a school of instruction, under the direction of Past President Mrs. whose names are already on the great register need not reregister for the municipal election, but must reregister in order to vote at the general election in November. Registration for the city election closes at midnight March 1, and although registrations may be made thereafter, no new voter will be permitted to cast his ballot at the April election unless his name is on the register before March 1st. Registration for the municipal election closes forty days before the date of that contest. Thus registration for the city election will close on Monday next at midnight. By a decision of the State Supreme Court only those voters whose names appear on the new great register for 1910 will be allowed to participate in the general primary election to be held next August, or sign petitions for candidates. This decision, which was written by Judge P. W. Henshaw, means that the great registers of voters for 1908 and 1909 cannot be used in the verification of the petitions of candidates who seek their party nominations for State offices at the coming primaries. The decision was the result of an application for a writ of mandate filed by Secretary Grieb of San Francisco to compel Registrar Zemansky and the election commissioners to use the registers of 1908 and 1909, as well as the new great register of 1910, in verifying the papers of candidates and to recognize and use these registers as supplementary to the new great register in preparing for the primary election itself. In applying for the writ it was contended that the new great register would not be complete by August. The law passed in 1889, governing city elections in this state, contained a proviso that municipalities which held municipal elections during even-number years prior to the completion of the new great register could use the old registers. The contention of Grieb that this provision also applies to the new primary law, was denied by the court, which held that the proviso was made only to cover cases in which elections were held prior to the regular primaries. The court also holds that seven months provides ample time for the registration of voters, and that it is not fair to the candidates to compel them to seek the old registers for the verifications of their nomination papers. REBEKAH ASSEMBLY MEETS Officers are Elected, Initiated, And Visitors Banqueted The Rebekah Assembly of the fifth district, which includes Whittier, Santa Ana, Orange, Huntington Beach and Anaheim was held here Friday. The sessions in the morning and afternoon were given over to a school of instruction, under the direction of Past President Mrs. Ada Mattison. The meeting was scheduled to take place at Huntington Beach, but by request, the dates were exchanged, the beach city taking the summer session in August, for which the following officers were elected as a committee in charge: Mrs. Franklin of Huntington Beach, president; Mrs. Liebig of Santa Ana, vice president; Mrs. Chapman of Santa Ana, secretary; Miss Effie Davis of Orange, treasurer. In the evening Abraham Horwitz was given the initiatory degree, the work being put on in excellent manner by the home team. Later over 200 guests were banqueted at a sumptuous supper, followed by speeches for the good of the order. F. R. Bain of New York was elected president of the Helena Orchard Water company of Fullerton at a meeting held at Fullerton some days ago. R. Y. Williams of Santa Ana was elected vice president and A. I. Stewart of Fullerton was named as secretary. S. F. Cady and Dr. W. F. Davis of Fullerton were elected directors. The Helena Orchard Water company was incorporated several days ago for $75,000. Work on the company's plant is now being rushed and will be completed within four months. The company will supply Fullerton and surrounding community.
