Pierre dispatch: The semiofficial
census figures for the 1915 enumera-
ton, which may be subject to re-
vision, show the total population OF
the state to be 579,53S, a decrease In
the past five years of 1880. Mime
haha leads in gain with practically
5000, and Ziebach, in percentage of
gain, nearly 500 per cent. The hg-
ures for Haakon and Jackson show
all gain, as they have been organized
since the last census out of a portion
of Stanley. The same figures for
Stanley show a heavy loss, but this
loss in part is on account of the pop
ulation taken by the two new coun-
ties. The loss in the territory cover
ed by the new Stanley county was
Ills, while the total loss in the
whole territory originally in Stanley
was 12,724. The population OF Lake
county is given at 1866, a gain over
the census of 1910 OF LIZA.
