The law providing that census
enumerators shall not disclose the
population of a city, town or pre-
cinct until after the information is
made public by the census bureau
at Washington is apparently gotten
up in the interest of the daily
newspapers. The latter papers are
given the first opportunity to pub
lish the news of the census for their
particular fields, and the weekly
newspapers are thus obliged to take
the matter secoud handed. AS re-
CARDS the city of Redwood Falls,
however, it appears that the census
will give the population at about
1862. about 100 more than the CEN
sus of five years ago. This would
indicate that the growth of the city
has been very slow. From state
ments by enumerators all over the
county the indication is that the
county will have a population of
over $4,000, or about 5000 more
than was given it by the last census.
