The census bureau has just issued a bulletin in estimates of population, for the years 1910, 1911. 1919, 1913 and 1914 and gives these figures for the years in their order: Westerly, s,72o. aeS7. s,s54. 9,071 and s,1SS; Stoning- ton. s,167. s,2es. s.2o1. 9,S53 and s.415; New London. 1e.7e4, 19,917, 20, 130, 2O,- $40, 20,557; Norwich town, 2S, 260, 2S,- 349, 2sYs46. 2s, ,sse and 2s,oa2; Norwich city, 2S,26o, 2S.463. 2S,646. 9S,s3s and 29.Os2.

The second motor driven fire ap- paratus for the Westerly Fire district, to be assigned to the Rhode Island Ones, is expected to arrive here today. This machine is not of the combina- ton type, but simply a hose wagon. while the Cyclone wagon has chemi- cal tank and hose as well as fire hose carrying capacity. The Rhode Island Ones wagon is an entirely new. fire fighting outfit It is planned by the builders to take this apparatus to Put nam for demonstration, before formal delivery to the Westerly fire district, and also to have it inspected by the committee of the Watch Hill fire dis frict who are authorized to purchase a motor-e7iven fire apparatus at a price not in excess of $1,5o0. A ma chine such as the Cyclone cannot be puFchased at that price, but it is be- 1ieved, with a recommendation from the committee, an adequate appropri- ation would be made
 The builders of the Westerly motor driven apparatus have completed a high-powered machine for the city of Ansonia, about double the power of the local machines, and it is planned to have this machine remain in Wes- terly for a day or two, before pro- ceeding to Ansonia- The representa- i've of the company says the engine of the Ansonia machine is identical with that of the triple action machine in New London, and is furnished with high power so as to be able to ascend the many steep hills in Ansonia at high speed. The Watch Hill fire dis trict committee will therefore have an opportunity to inspect the chem ical hose wagon and the hose wagon of the Westerly district, as well as the more powerful apparatus that Is to become 8 part of the Ansonia de- partment

PRICES ARE RISING
Cass County Real Estate Transfers
Show Large Gain.

North Dakota prosperity, as indi-
Gated b. the deeds of actual land
transfers recorded at the Cass county
register of deeds office, is an actual
fact. There We're 20 per cen more
transfers at the Fargo office during
the past month than for the CORE
spending month a year ago, according
to the statement Of w. l.. Brown, dep
uty register OF deeds.
The most encouraging thing shown
by the transfers is the fact that prices
for land are correspondingly much
higher than a ear ago, says Mt.
Brown. Many of the transfers have
been to Eastern people who have
come to this state to live.
In several cases the transfers have
marked the splitting up Of large farms
into smaller tracts. Notable cases OF
this kind in the past month have been
the sale to a number of people OF the
Dill farm at Mapleton. This farm
contained 5000 acres and has been
divided into quarter and half sections,
most of which have been purchased
by Nebraska and Illinois people. An
other big farm that has been divided
up during this period is the Houston
farm of 1900 acres at Hunter. This
was sold in smaller parts to Ne
braska and Illinois farmers.
