The following item from the Boul

will be of interest to many Ledger
readers in Cherokee, and elsewhere
inasmuch as Vhe subject of the sketch
is an uncle of Mr. O. A. Osborne, of
Blacksburg, and Mr. A. R. Osborne,

They say it ’takes money to build

The Cost of the Census.
(Harper’s Weekly.)
The next census of lift* United
States is for the* year 1910. and appro
priations for vhe c-o«t of c ollect ing the
statistics must he made by our next
congress. The; director of fhe census
has issued his annual report to the
secretary of commerce and labor
and has asked for an appropriation
for the next fiscal year of $11,000,000.
It is estimated that the actual cost of
Vhe census proper will be ?!2,930,000,
hut the remainder will he taken up in
paying for lie four annual investiga
tions and the two biennial reports.
The cost ot our last, census, that of
1900, was $’2,520,000, and the direc
tor believes that the count for 1910
can he made at and increased cost of
only $410,000. Formerly the cos 4 , of
taking the census was increased 50
per cent from decade to decade, so
that an increase of $410,000 is remark
ably low in view of our greatly en
larged population. However, there
