Sm: On June 20, 1907, the President, through the Secretary of Comlnerce and Labor, and under the autho;rity conferred by section 8 of the organic act of the Department, directed the Director of the Census to take a census of the population of the territory of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, comprising the pr9Posed new state of Oklahoma. The directions were to undertake the>work at orice and complete it with all possibl~:expe­ dition. Plans were immediately Inade, and the general order covering these plans was made public 011 June 24. This order is printed herewith. As appears therefrom, the immediate conduct of the fieldwork was placed in charge of :Mr. William 0. Hunt, chief statistician for population. The territory was divided into five districts, and a chief of division of the Census Office was assigned to the charge of each, as follows: First district, Edward W. Koch; second district, Richard O. Lappin; third district, Hart Momsen; fourth district, C. S. Sloane; fifth district, F. L. Sanford. The census of Oklahoma was therefore superviEed at every point by men thoroughly trained in census methods, and familiar with all the details of the work The result has been the quickest piece of census work ever accomplished, and, in view of the many difficult conditions encountered, probably the most satisfactory. A corps of Census clerks, 25 in number, including stenographers, proceeded
