RECEPTION TO THE CHAMPION.
After the show at the Grand last
night q number of Ruhlin's friends
rendered a reception TO Jeffries ut the
in the party. Referring to the Cham
pon today Mr.. Rubin said: II found
him bright and intelligent. During
our conversation Jeifries said that Gus
with proper handling would have won
from Fitzsimmons in the third round
had not Corbett kept yelling to him
to force the fight. BY doing this he
left himself open, Fitz taking advan-
tage of this to land his famous body
blows. He gets his man going in this
way and there is no use trying to force
him as his game Is to wait as he did
with Gus. He said that he had sent
word several times to Corbett to hold
Gus back and had the Instructions re.
ceived attention Gus would have won
in short order Continuing he said
Gus has improved wonderfully in two
years, going around the ring like "A
feathcrweight, timing his blows with
great regularity He is a man TO be
feared Mr.. Ruhlin, and you can Just
make up your mind that if we are
matched again | won't take any
chances about not being in first-class
condition as he is the only man in the
ring today that look upon as the com.
ing champion. don't purpose to al.

at the small audience, but was pleased
with the reception he received. He
was delighted to meet so many of

To the Editor of the Democrat:

To the Editor of the Democrat:
So far as territory is concerned, the
history of the United States is this;
The area of the original thirteen
states was 420,S92 square miles. The
area of outlaying territory claimed by
them was 406,952 square miles, max.
ing total of S27 ,S44 square miles.
In 1903 we purchased the territory
of Louisiana from France. This terri
tory contained 1,171,G31 square miles
and for it we paid $15,OOO,0OO
In 1919 we purchased the territory
of Florida from Spain. That terri
tory contained 59,26S square miles.
For this purchase we paid $6,5O0,OOo
In 1915 we got Texas by annexation
and purchase; this territory contained
$40, 1873 square miles and for this ces-
sion we paid Texas in U. S. bonds
$lO,O0O000.
Our first acquisition from Mexico
was in 1SiS. This acquisition con.
tained 545,7S3 square miles. Cost Thy
treaty of Guadalupe Hldalgo0
First. War with Mexico, estimated
cost $1OOO0O,OO0.
Second BY cession from Mexico,
$15,OoO,0OO.
In 1858 we had N further acquisition
from Mexico by treaty known as The
Gadsen purchase" This territory com
prised 45,535 square miles, and for
il we paid S1O,00O0O0.
In 1867 we bought Alaska from Rus
sia This territory contains 1890
square miles and for it we paid Rus
sia, $7,200,OOO.
The whole of these several areas
aggregate 3,603,SS4 square miles and
comprise all the territory of the
United States up to the acquisition OF
the Hawaiian Islands, and the cost Of
the whole was:
First, the war of the Revolution by
which we gained our independence by
the treaty of 1888 with Breat Britain
-$135, 1913, ,IO3.
The war with Mexico 500, 0,00O, 900.
Total cost of purchase money for
the several cessions of territory-$64,
100000.
Total cost of war, purchase and
treaty $3O0,O93, IO3.
At the time of the acquisition of
these several territories from France,
Spain and Mexico, there was no exact
date of the number of white popula,
tion or the population of every kind
except Indians, the first census of the
United States having been taken
from five to ten years after the ac-
QUESTION of the several territories.
In 1910 Louisiana contained 1877, ,765
inhabitants.
In 1890 the territory of Florida con,
tanned 34,730 Inhabitants.
In 1850 Texas contained 212,592 in
habitants.
The territory taken from Mexico,
so far as the census gives us any re.
ports, contained 165,52I inhabitants,
and Alaska contained when we pur-
chased that territory, 43O inhabitants
making total of 551 ,O30 people, not
counting Indians.
The area of acquired territory was
2,7760i0 square miles. The popula,
tion was, therefore, at the rate of on,
inhabitant to every five square miles
of territory,
The present population of the whole
United States is less than 81 to the
square mile and IL we exclude Alaska
1t is still only "a to the square mile
calling the population 75,000,O00,
We are told that the Philippln,
archipelago contains about 143,O0(

Arkansas River Banks All Riaht.

Capt. Stanfield of the steamer Or lando says that the condition of the banks on the Arkansas river were much better just now than he had an ticipated. The banks on the Missis- sippi are not so good as they might be, but the steamboat men are having not nearly so much trouble now in discharging and receiving freight as they have been having during the past several weeks. The stage of the water in Arkansas river is good, and no overflow is anticipated-at least an overflow that is calculated to do much damage.
