Doubts Colorado
Will Pass the
Million Mark

DENVER. Aug. 21.-Predictions
that Colorado had passed the 1000, 900
mark in inhabitants during the last
decade will not come true. according
to compilations made by Howard Sui
livan. chief statistician of the State
immigration Department from prelim-
mary reports received from the Fed
eral census bureau.
According to Sullivan, with COM
plete reports from 49 OF the So coun-
ties in the state at hand, it appears
the population Of Colorado will fall
from $4,000 to 10000 short OF a mil
lion. This estimate, according TO
Sullivan, is made on the presumption
that the IA counties yet to be heard
from will show the same ratio of in
crease as the 49 already made public.
Should the ratio be greater, then
the mii,on-mark may be reached.
