Census Figures Unreliable.

An advance statement issued yester.

census, based upon an official count,
gives the population of the small
cities and villages of the United
States. In the list the population OF
Princeton village is set down as l, 555,
whereas the state census of 1905 gives
it l, 704, denoting a decrease of 149.
Instead of decreasing in population
in the past five years. Princeton has
gained, and it is believed that the
number OF residents in this village
would aggregate something like 1900.
A decrease is also shown in Milaca
village from 1910 in 1905 to 1,l02 in
1910, and in Foreston village from
ZIP to 204.
