year. according to the report issued
Thursday by f. D. Coburn, secretary
of the board of agriculture. The IN
crease is given at 4.3 per cent. over
the preceding year. The population
of the state is 1,544,96S. The report
is based on the returns of the asses
sor, who gathered the statistics March
1, 1906. The report in part says:
This is the largest population ever
reported in the history of the STATE
and the gain is seemingly well dis
tributed, although the western coun-
ties show greater percentages OF In
crease than do those further east.
The 50 counties lying west OF the
Goth meridian show an aggregate
gain of 22,377, or 14.7 per cent.
The largest individual increase Is
in Wyandotte county, which has
gained 1888, followed by Montgom-
cry, Sedgwick, Labette and Shawnee
in the order named.
Wyandotte, Shawnee, Montgomery,
Sedgwick and Crawford are the five
leading counties in 1906.

All joined in the laugh, and Winslow
felt his spirits rise as with new and
strange elixir. "A thief in the night

Then soberly the plan of action was
agreed upon. They were to say moth

first pretext to leave the fort.
"And in order that there may be no
backsliding, the bridges must be
burnt" and going to the crate, Laven-
der dropped the dispatches on the
heart of the Goals. Slowly the edges
uncurled in last mischievous attempt
to reveal the secret; then a greedy
flame devoured the papers.
