Census Bureau.
Special Correspondence.

sued a bulletin which contains
some rather startling information
10 regard to the area in square
miles of the various states and
territories in the Union And
this official data is particularly
significant at this time when Okla.
homa is striving to secure admis-
sion to statehood in the Union.
Did You ever know that the Ter
ritory of Oklahoma contains more
square miles than eleven states
already in the Union' Did you
also know that the great Empire
state with a population Of over
7,OO0,O 900 inhabitants, is only Is
per cent larger in area than Okla
homa' Even the great state of
Ohio contains only about 6 per
cent more in area than the terri
tory, while Connecticut, Delaware.
Maryland, Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode
Island and Vermont are insignif
cant spots on the map of the
United States in comparison with
Oklahoma.
Oklahoma territory has a gross
area of $1,000 square miles; a
water surface OF POO square miles
and land surface of 3S,S30
square miles. New York has a
gross area of 1910 square miles,

060 square miles and land surface

has a gross area of 81 400 square
miles, water surface of 400
svuare miles and a land surface of
