fBy telegraph TO tho Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The Census Bureau
has issued bulletin on the distribution
of population in accordance with altitude.
II appears that in the area below 500 feet Is
included nearly all that part Of the popu-
lation which is engaged IN manufacturing
and in the foreign commerce OF the coun-
try, and most of that engaged in the cul-
ture of cotton, rice, and sugar.
TheInterval between 500 feet and 1900
feet comprises the greater part OF tho
prairie States and the grain-producing
States Of the Northwest.
East of the 9Sth meridian 1.500 feet IL
practically the upper limit OF population,
all the country lying above that elevation
being mountainous.
The population between 1900 and 5000
feet is found mainly on tho slope OF tho
great western plains. In this region the
belt between 1900 and 5000 feet Is almost
everywhere the debstable ground between
the arid region Of tho Cordilleran plateau
and the humid region Of tho Mississippi
Valley. Above 1900 feet irrigation -
almost universally necessary for success in
agricultural operations, and mining pre-.
dominates.
