Population of 1910

The population of Barber coun-
ty, according to the returns at the
county clerks Office made by the
different township assessors, lacks
only III of theIo,o 900 mark. Gains
are shown in every township ex.
cept Deerhead, where there is a
loss Of 10 on the face of the returns.
The gain over last year is o7S.
We still believe that the county's
population is over 10000 if it were
enumerated accurately, which of
course, is impossible in so short a
time. The assessors are kept busy
with their numerous other duties
and cannot give a great deal of
time to the enumeration.
The comparative figures of the
county's population for 1909 and
1910 are here given.
