A RETRACTION.

In the last issue of The GAZETTE
there was an article headed: INC
Chases the Minister, to which ar.
ticle Mr.. Mo makes an objection
On a re-reading of the article, and
consultation with the parties from
whom this paper received it's infor-
nation the publishers of THE GA
zTTE believe that certain parts OF
the article, in fairness to all parties,
should be retracted.
We retract the statement that Mr..
Mo is ''real estate plunger and
manipulation, and also that CLANS
Mo, in securing an Injunction knew
that the move would cripple Phil
lips in securing funds to fight the
law suit. " We do not know that il
would cripple Phillips.
We also retract all that portion OF
the article which states that Mo had
held the mortgage; that an attempt
was made to redeem; that Mo refused
such offer to redeem and that Nc
had transferred the mortgage to his
brother, who, becoming tired of the
case, transferred back to Mo.
In the statement of the Peterson
case at the close of the article the
statement that Mo got himself ap.
pointed guardian, is retracted.

there wouldn't be any delay, but
that the work would be pushed to

would give Redwood Falls a direct
line with the Twin Cities, and that
would undoubtedly place it on one
of the greatest trunk lines ia the

Indications Point Strongly to the COnstruc

Branch.

| Mr.. James J. Hill of the Great
Northern railroad is seriously con-
sldering the advisability of extend
ing his system from Hutchinson
through Redwood Falls to Marshall.
This statement is confirmed by the
appearance here for two days last
week of an experienced railroad
man, smoothly shaven, suave in ap-

versation, who registered at Hotel
Fountain as FL. Montague, New
York.
The gentleman came to North
Red wood on MondayIevening of last
week. He stopped'at Hotel Weiss
that night and the next morning he
arose early and took a perspective
view of the hills on either side of
the Minnesota river. Then he came
to Redwood Falls, and registered at
the Hotel Fountain, j. L. Thompson,
who brought him from North Red
wood to this city, referring him to
Tillson Tibbetts as man thorough

of Red wood county.
Mr.. Montague remained here un-
til Thursday morning, when he Sc
cured a livery team and as early as
z o'clock started on an overland
drive to Marshall. In his CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Tibbetts he stated
that Redwood Falls needed a

was connected with company that
had the construction of such a line
in view, although he refused to d.

MISLEADING CENSUS FIGURES.

some tables, credited to the federal Census Blu
reau which purporteL TO show the population
of certain of our larger cities in 1904 and 1905.
The totals were, Of course. estimated, yet they
bore the stamp Of federal authority, and to the
casual reader. ignorant of the method by which
they were obtained they must have seemed
both accurate and trustworthy. But the po-
lice force in Washington had just cor1)eted
a census of the federal district, and the Cen
sus Bureaus figures failed eonspicuously to
tally with the actslal house TO house count. Ac-
cordiDg TO the census tabulaton, the population
of the District of Columbia is to-day 302, SS3.
The enumeration made by the police however.
gives the District a population of 322,572. "The
Star seems 10 have been greatly DerpleXed by
this discrepancy. 1t was willing 10 admit that
the police might not have made an entirely
accurate tally. But it naturally refused TO
believe that they could have been guilty of
an overcount Of 10000. IF So" it said, '9heir
remuneration IS practically worthless. But If
"they did approximate TO an accurate count,
"Mr. North's estimate is worthless"
We have repeatedly called attention in these
columns TO the woNhlessness of these Census
Bureau estimates. They are Obtained in a very
simple way, but in a way which encourages
the grOssest errors. The method followed is
purely an arithmetical one. It assumes that the

1900 its percentage OF gain was 209. But It
is growing now at a rate-for the decade-of
30o6. Taking no account Of this Quckened
growth, the Census Bureaus estimate for 1905
has necessarily fallen far short of the 1905
police count.
The trouble with the bureaus method is that
