The assessors returns are all In ex-
cept for the city OF Wellington. County
Clerk Wood has compiled the enumer.
alton and finds a loss 10 population OF
233 outside Of the city OF Wellington.
Wellington is expected TO show gain
Of about 250, or enough so that the
county will mold It's own.
Twenty-four townships and cities
outside OF Wellington show a loss oil
500, while fifteen townships and cities
show gains aggregating 276. 1t |,
believed that the government census
enumeratOrs' returns will show con-
siderable gain In the cOunty's pOpula
ton. The assessors returns are On
their face anything but accurate. For
instance, the returns from Hunnewell,
with a population of 25S in 1899, show
a loss Of 81 10 population, while Con-
way Springs, with population more
than double shows a loss OF only AZ
Similar discrepancies are noticeable 10
the returns from other localities. Tbs
being the year for the government
census, il has been suggested that the
assessors did not attach the imper-
lance to correct enumeration that
they do 10 other years. In some coun-
ties in the state, the assessors did not
attempt to make an enumeration this
year for that reason.
The complete returns for the c. IN
ty outside Of Wellington for 1900, are
here given, together with the returns
for 1899, showing the gains and losses
