Introduction.-Thii:i chapter gives the statistics of the entire year, or had a value of products of less than $500, or the manufactures for the state of Idaho for the calendar manufacturing done in educational, eleemosynary, and penal insti year 1909 as shown by the Thirteenth Census. tutions, or· in governmental establishments, except those of the Federal Government. The text summarizes the general results of the Period oovered.-The returns cover the calendar year 1909, or census inquiry, presenting a series of special tables in the business year which corresponds most nearly to that calendar which the main facts printed in the general tables are year. The statistics cover a year's operations, except for estab given in convenient form for the state as a whole and lishments which began or discontinued business during the year. for important industries. It also presents tables in . The establishment.-The term "establishment" comprises the which the statistics for the industries of the state as a factories, mills, or plants which are under a common ownership or control, and for which one set of books of account is kept. whole and for a few important industries are classified If, however, the plants constituting an establishment as thua by character of ownership, size of establishments, num defined were not all located within the same city or state, separate ber of wage earners, and prevailing hours of labor, reporta were secured in order that the separate totals might be information. which could not be presented in general included in the statistics for each city or state. In some instances tables for each industry without disclosing the facts for separate reporta were secured for different industries carried on in the same establishment. individual establishments. Classification by industries.-The establishments were assigned At the en.cl of the chapter are three general tables. to the several classes of industries according to their products of Table I gives for 1909, 1904, and 1899 the number of chief value. The products reported for a given industry may thus, establishments and of persons engaged in the indus on the one hand, include minor products very different from those tries, primary power, capital, salaries and wages, cost covered by the class designation, and, on the other hand, may not include the total product covered by this designation, because of materials, value of products, and value added by some part of this product may be made in establishments in which manufacture, for all industries combined and for cer it is not the product of chief value. tain important industries in the state. It also gives Selected industries.-The general tables at the end of this the same items for 1909 for all industries combined for chapter give the principal facts separately for the industries of the state. A selection has been made of the leading industries of the the city of Boise; tho only city in the state having a state for more detailed consideration. Sometimes an industry of •population of over 10,000 in 1910. greater importance than some of those selected is omitted because Table II gives stn.tistics in greater detail for 1909 it comprises so few establishments that these detailed presentations for the stn.te and for a larger number of industries. would reveal the operations of individual concerns. Table III gives statistics in. detail for 1909 for Comparisons with previous oensuses.-Owing to the changes in Boise, the only city in the state having from 10,000 industrial conditions it is not always possible to classify establish ments by industries in such a way as to permit accurate compari to 50,000 inhabitants, for all industries combined. son with preceding censuses. Table I, giving comparable :figures Scope of census: Factory industries .-Census statistics of manu for 1909, 190;4, and 1899, therefore, does not embrace all the indus factures are compiled primarily for the purpose of showing the tries shown for 1909 in Table II. absolute and relative magnitude of the different branches of indus Influence of increased :prices.-In considering changes in cost of try covered and their growth or decline. Incidentally, the effort materials, value of products, and value added by manufacture, is made to present data throwing light upon character of organiza . account should be taken of the general increase in the prices of tion, location of establishments, size of establishments, labor force, commodities during recent years.

Particularly is this true when the Persons engaged in industry.-At the censuses of 1909, 1904, and attempt is made to derive from them figures purporting to show 1899, the following general classes of persons engaged in manufactur average wages, cost of production, or profits.
