Aberdeen News: State census re-
ports from a number of the coun-
ties Of the state show decreases in
population. This is especially the
case with a number of the towns.
Lead shows a slight decrease; so
does Pierre, Alexandria, DeSmet,
and many other towns, while some
of the smaller towns show a decrease
of nearly half. In other cases sub.
stantial increases are shown, as in
the case of Sioux Falls. Yankt0n,
WATERFOWL and Aberdeen. 1t is
probable the apparent decreases in
population where decreases are
shown. is due, in part. to careless
ness on the part of enumerators. A
state census never is as complete,
nor is it regarded as being as au.
thoritative as a national census
The assessors, who were required to
take the state census. had many
other duties to perform, in connec-
ton with the performance of their
regular work. as assessors, which in
some instances, NAV have caused
them to neglect the census work, or
rather, to fail to exercise extreme
diligence in finding every resident

the engineers gained an increase in
