Those who were connected in any way

so far as census returns of the popula-
ton of Aroostook County towns are. .eou-
cerned, there are but few towns which DO
not show large gain. out of the sixty
two towns so fa- reported there are but
four that show loss. Limestone and
Pleasant Ridge show loss of l2l; Unity
and airy Plantations show a loss of "a;
I.inneus shows a loss too, and Island Falls.
Crystal Ilersey and Moro Plantations a loss
of q. These towns and plantation, show
a total loss 49, but it is fair to assume
that many of these may be credited to the
gain of other parts of the country. On the
other hand. to say nothing Of the gains
in the large towns like Houlton, Pressure
Isle, Fort Fairfield and other places, there
are thirty four townships and plantations
which were not incorporated or reported in
1880 that now return total population of
1915.
