San FRANCISCO
SHOWS INCREASE
Quake City Gains q Per
Cent in Its Population.

The population OF san Francisco. which
was announced az the Census Bureau last
night, was 4l6.sl2 in 1910, as compared
with $40. 7S2 in 1900. The increase during
the decade from 1900 to 1910 was 74.lso. or
ZIG per cent. The increase In the decade
from 1890 to 1900 was 4S.7S5, or 14s per
cent. AS a result OF the enumeration.
San Francisco retains It's position as the
largest city on the Pacific Coast.
The showing OF San Francisco Is re-
markable when Il is recalled that the city
was practically wiped out by fire and
earthquake only few years ago.
While there was no padding in the
population Of San Francisco, 1872 names
we're eliminated from the original figures.
This was due, Director Durand said, TO a
misinterpretation OF the Instructions OF
the census enumeTators. There was no
evidence. however, OF intentional fraud.
The instructions for the guidance OF the
enumerators were construed by the su-
pervisor in San Francisco TO permit the
enumeration OF several classes Of persons
who were absent from the city when the
census was taken. such as seanen. fisher
men. &c. In the opinion of the bureau
these names should have been eliminated.
The population of Alameda City. Cal,
was 2S,SSS in 1910. as compared with 1s. 4es
in 1900.
Reduced to 1898.
EnumeratOrs in Great Falls, Mont,
take first prize as the champion popu-
lauon padders OF the country. Accord
ing to a statement issued by the Census
Director last night. Great Falls had a
population of 23.S24 An Investigation
reduced the size TO l3,s4s, which is 1876
less than the original figures.
Instead Of receiving CONGRATULATIONS
upon having grown wonderfully since
$780, Great Falls is obliged to undergo the
humiliation Of acknowledging according
TO the corrected returns, that she has
fewer people now than she did ten years
ago. The population for the 1900 census
was 1880.
The Census Director, however, Is In
clined to shy even at the record COM
piled ten years ago. He says that II is
a matter OF common opinion in Montana
that the census was padded In 1900
The bureau yesterday announced the
population OF Indiana as 2700S7s for 1870
as against 2,5i6.4s2 for 1890. an increase OF
7.3 per cent.

Reliable Laxative for

Life is so arranged that there is a
