Huence WAS not always favorable. In spite
of the Astronomers, the poets still make the

POPULATION.

THE Territory OF Utah possesses in
marked degree those requirements
essential to statehood, the necessary
population and resources
The census OF 1890 places the popu.
lation OF Utah at 1919 which is is,olf
more than the combined population OF
the States OF Montana andWyoming, and
1904 In excess OF the entire population
of the adjoining States, Nevada, Idaho,
and Wyoming, and 54.ool more than re.
CURED under the census Of 1890 for
Representative In Congress.
The population has greatly increased
since the census was taken. The
governor OF the Territory, in his report
to the Secretary Of the Interior, dated
October f,fS97, estimates the population
at 275gio being an increase OF I6,o75
over the census report. This is deemed
n very conservative estimate, and the
population today may be safely placed
at 275,ooo.
"The idea often expressed by persons
Ignorant OF the facts, that the people OF
Utah are mostly foreigners, Is most
successfully refuted by the census re-
ports, which make the following show
ing: Total American born I5i.SAr;
total foreign born $1,000
THE proportion Of foreign born TO
American born in Utah is less than in
the States Of North Dakota, Minnesota,
Montana, Nevada. Wisconsin, Rhode
Island, California, Massachusetts,, South
Dakota, New York, Michigan, Washing.
ton. and the Territory OF Arizona.
"Only in three States and one Terri.
tory has the foreign population decreased
more than in Utah during the last census
decade.
THE percentage Of aliens who speak
the English language is greater in Utah
than in thirty.two States and two
Territories.
1.-THE population Of Utah consists
largely OF the white element, there being
OF colored persons, embracing civilized
Indians. Chinese, Japanese, and liawa-
iians, as well as Negroes, only 7,oo6 in
the entire Territory; less in proportion
to the whites than any OF the Pacific
States and Territories.
THE total number Of votes cast at the
election for Delegate held in November.
1899, was 5l,577, being an increase of
IoSis over the election for members Of
the Legislature held the year previous.
WEALTH AND RESOURCES.
utah has all the elements OF great.
ness within It's borders. Its resources
being varied, diversified industries
flourish and the future gives promise OF
wonderful results. The splendid system
of irrigation which has been provided
largely by community cooperation,
renders crops certain, and assures food
supplies at cheap rates.
Statistics are given in relation to
Agriculture, Irrigation, Live Stock, Min
ing, Building and Investments, banking,
Home Industries, the Salt Industry,
Sugar Factory, Manufactures, Assessed
Valuation OF Property, Public Lands.
Railroads, Natural Gas, etc. The report
says, under the heading OF
EDUCATION AND SCHOOLS:
utah has an excellent free.school
system supported by taxation, and much
attention is being given to the cause OF

-sbe bouse COMMITTEES Report on Statehood

il Is and must be evident TO all that the
only barrier in all the past TO the adj
mission Of Utah as state was that Of
polygamy.
PoLyGAMy RXTERMiNATBD.
"Nhilc your committee utterly con-
denim the doctrine of polygamy, and
hold that so long as the Mormons con-
stituted the larger part OF the population
of the Territory Of Utah, and personally
or as a matter Of faith, with or without
the practice, believe In the doctrine vi
polygamy, then II was proper and right
for the Federal Government to use all
OF its vast powers to secure the over
throw and destruction Of that practice;
yet, in view OF the foregoing facts set
forth in this report, as well as the con.
current testimony OF all parties interest
ed in the welfare OF Utah who have
appeared before your committee at its
hearings upon this subject during the
| present Congress, as well rs the vast
amount Of testimony submitted to your
committee during the Fiftieth Congress
upon the same topics, compel your
committee to believe without doubt or
hesitation that the institution OF polygamy
as taught by the Mormon Church,
whether Of faith or OF practice, is now
absolutely stamped out and extermin-
ated.
CHARACTER OF MORMON PEOPLE.
"Your committee, In regard TO the
general character OF the Mormon people
for thrift, honesty, morality, sobriety,
and virtue, other than their disputed
