The areas of the counties of the state

of the map publishers and the estimates
of the census takers do not agree and in
fact the federal figures varywldely when
thfi various census returns are compared.
However, there will ba exact figures on
this subject In about a year. Robert Har

township survey and In this manner fix
ing tne sise of the counties. Ha deducts
all lakes and rivers. He has completed a
number of the counties, but tho figures
in hardly any case agree with those here

When this gigantic task is completed
the exact size of any county in the state
can bo obtained from the official report
of the commissioner. Until then estimates
must bo relied upon In considering the
