The figures of population in Cslcdo-
mia county are now available, showing
an unmistakable trend away from the
smaller towns into the larger commu-
mites and, at the same time, loss in
several of the larger towns to other
towns in Vermont and to other states.
OF the seventeen towns all lost popula-
ton except four, the latter being st.
Johnsbury, Lyndonville, Kirby and
Wheelock. Hardwick, one of the three
large towns in the county, experienced
the loss which seems to have been gen
eral to granite centers of Vermont at
least, for Hardwick dropped from 1901
to 2,64l, making the largest percent
age of decrease in the county. The
other twelve towns which lost popula.
ton decreased in percentages of from
A to l6 per cent. But the loss of the
county as a whole was rather less
than had been expected, due, of course,
to the development of st. Johusbury
and Lyndon. If the other counties of
the state which had been expected to
lose in the census should maintain no
greater loss than Caledonia there
would be no danger of losing one of
Vermonts two congressman, for some
of the counties having large centers
of population are likely to show fairly
gooI Increases.
