THIRD HAS BANNER
Census aker GrasseT Finds an
Even 1000 People in the
Third Ward Of the City !.
PARIS SHOWS BIC FALLING OFF

City Census Taker Frank ]. eraser
completed the work of enumerating
the people in the Third ward ana his
report shows that the ward is by a
large majority the largest in the city.
The ward contains an even four
thousand people an increase of more
than seventeen hundred over the re-
port Of the national enumerators five
years ago. The growth in the Third
ward is the largest registered in the
city. It was thought for time that
the Fourth ward would be the banner
ward but the final figures show that
the Third will hold it's old position at
the head of the list. Census Taker
eraser has another week of work be-
for the census will be completed. He
is now confronted with problem in
regard to the enumeration of the
children at the St. Mary's summer
home and the students at Kemper
Hall. According to the provisions OF
the law every student at Kemper Hall
should be enumerated as they we're in
Kenosha on the first day in June. On
this same ruling the children who
spend the summer here should be ex.
c1uded from the list of the people in
city. 1t is probable that the matter
will be settled in this manner. Census
Taker eraser this morning stated
that the census would run between
sixteen and seventeen thousand but
that it would not pass the Est named
figure.
County Clerk Crosby as received
complete returns fro4- the town Of
Paris, and this is the first town in the
county to show falling off. The
census for 1905 shows 78o people
while the census Of five years age
showed 81. The falling off in the
population Of the town is largely &C.
counted for by the fact that many Of
the farmers in Paris township have
gone to other parts of the state an6
nation during the last five years.

LAND BRINGS a GOOD PRICE.
State Capitol Lands in Mcpherson
County Sell at $40 to SIS Per Acre.

- :
County Sell at $40 to SIS Per Acre.
The sale of state building lands in
Mcpherson county was most salts
factory one to the members of the
state capitol commission. While the
lands offered We're appraised at from
$40 to SIS per acre, the sale price was
above that figure, the tracts offered
bringing 1916 above the appraised
price. The highest price paid for any
one tract was SIS per acre, and num-
Der of sales were made above the SO
minimum.
Commissioner Bach reports that he
could have sold at least twice as much
land had it not been for the fact that
the farmers have been delayed in
threshing operations and are not just
now in position to purchase. Before he
left Euraka a number of German farm
ers asked that he make second offer
ing of lands there at later date, after
they had marketed their summer crop.
While the lands were sold with an op-
ton of three payments. over half the
land purchased was paid for in cash.
One point shows what kind of land
was offered, it being that all of it was
taken by residents or land owners in
the county, who bought adjoining
tracts to land they already own and
farm. They bought because they knew
just what they were getting, and it
was not matter of speculation on
their part. Offerings will be made in
Faulll and Hyde counties this week.
and good sales are looked for.
