corresponding increase in its death rate.
There figures are, however, easily explained
when the character of the data used is I'M
derstood. 1t is well known, the fact having
been demonstrated by extensive and thor
ough investigation. that the census of 1870
was grossly deficient in the southern states,
so much so as not only to give an exagger
ated rate of increase of the population be-
tween 1870 and 1880 in these states, but to
affect very materially the rate of increase
in the country at large"
In Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont
the rate of increase between 1870 and 1880
has not quite been maintained.
In Massachusetts, Con necticut, New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the
rate of increase has been increased.
In Ohio, Indiana Iowa and Missouri. and
in ILLINOIS if the city of Chicago be drop
ped from consideration, the rate Of increase
has declined very decidedly. The farming
population has migrated westward. The
southern portions of Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota are under similar conditions,
but the northern parts of these states have
filled up with sufficient rapidity to repair,
eitherwholly OF in part the losses Of the
southern parts. Dakota has increased 27S
per cent, Nebraska134 per cent. and Kansas
43 per cent. The Industries of these three
states are almost purely agricultural
Throughout the south Atlantic and south
ern central states, the rate of increase has
diminished. Emigration and the defective
census of 1870 are thought to account for
the poor showing made by these states.
Arkansas, however, shows continued
growth at a rapid rate.
Montana and Wyoming have continued
upon rapid growth; the population Of the
latter is 60, 7O5. Colorado has now 412, 1913
people, the mining regions having lost
while the cities and farm population grew
rapidly.
! ''New Mexico Arizona and Utah show
rates of increase which are small when the
sparsely settled condition of these ter
ritories is considered, while Nevada shows
an absolute diminution of population of
16, sos or 26.5 per cent. leaving it the small
est of all the states. Idaho has increased
| in population two and a half times.
New Mexico has 153, SOB people; Arizona,
Sc, $40; Utah, 207, sos; Nevada, 1871, and
Idaho, 81, 3S5.
The growth of Washington has been
phenomenal, the population in 1890 being
nearly five times that OF 1880. The growth
Of Oregon, though less rapid, has been at
the rate of nearly so per cent during the
last decade; while the rate of increase in
California has been S9.7 per cent.

STATE CONVENTION.

The fifth annual convention of the Sunday
school workers of Oregon will be held in the
Christian church, McMinnviile, commencing
April 18th, 1890. While this is mass
convention, and all interested in Sunday
school work are most cordially and earnestly
invited to be present, yet, to insure repre-
sentation, each Sunday school in the state
is requested to select two or more persons
pledged to attend. The friends oil the
work at McMinnville will open their home
and hearts aud take care of all who may
attend the convention. That they may
know who are to be entertained, all those
expecting to be present will confer favor
by sending their names to Rev. J. Hoberg,
McMinnvile, that places may be assigned
them. Friends of the work will notice the
change in time of holding the convention
from June to April. This is done that Or.
egon may fall into line with our sister states
in chain of conventions arranged by the
international executive committee. VIM.
Reynolds, president of the late international
convention will be present at the conven-
and take prominent and active part. Ar
rangements have been made with the s. P.
r. II. in Oregon and the y. p. r. r. for
the usual reduced rates. That we may
know the number of schools and pupils,
and the work being done by the Sunday
schools of Oregon, the superintendent or
secretary Of each school is requested to send
Prof Henry Sneak, Philomath, Or, statis-
teal secretary, full report. E. w. ALLEN,

RIGHT KIND OF TALK.

EDS. GAZETTE
The passing OF the equinoxial storm
brings us to realization that spring is
again upon us. Now let us, citizens of
Corvallis and vicinity, ask ourselves if
we intend to allow the spring of 1890
to come and go anil still leave upon
the people of this state the impression
that Corvallis is "dead town" Such
an impression has long fettered the
movements of this city towards pro-
gress and has caused us to be left
alone; severely alone, by outside Cap
ital. But recent immigration and
awakening activity throughout the
state and particularly the Willamette
valley has given an impulse to the pro-
gress of our city of late and, while the
local zeal is at high tide, our prospects
are blooming. But the reaction is too
prone to bring with it long faces, bitter
sarcasm, and their twin sister inactlon.
Now, DO we propose to allow this
reaction to strike us and undo the
work already initlatedi If we do, all
that is necessary is to continue to drift.
We have been drifting too long already
and it is high time we made some ef-
forts to help ourselves. If we do not
start the wheels of improvement
agoing ourselves, can we consistently
ask or expect anyone who has nc in
telests involved to do SO for usi And,
if we should summons the necessary
amount OF check to make such re-
quests, does any person imagine they
