at least II 900 Mr.. Stone and his ener-
getic corps have so far advanced In the
compilation of the returns of the can
vassers as TO afford an opportunity to
enumerate the names that will appear 10
the forthcoming directory and the count
shows 5000 names. 10 this connection
it should be remembered that only males
over twenty one years of age are noted. ex-
cept those eugagedin earning a livelihood.
Using therefore the common multiple OF
% to every name. Rock IslandPs popuia-
ton will be shown BY the new directory
to have At the least calculation 22. 900.
which is much nearer the correct figures
than Is. 900 Is shown by the unreliable.
incomplete and inefficient work of the
