While the growth Of Oklahoma ia the

believe that the increase Of population
viii Be still more rapid in tie future.
The fact that almost million and q
quarter acres were filed upon for home
steads in the various organized counties
Of che territory during the past year,
wonld indicate an increase in popula-
tion by the taking Of these homestead
lands. Of from 35. 900 to 10 900. and the
growth Of the cities and towns and of
rural communities- as well as in the To-
calities where there was no homestead
land-in addition to these, would indi-
cate an increase over the figure Of the
1900 census sufficient to make the popu-
lation Of the territory at this time fully
f60,o 900, aud the opening of a large area
Of Indian land to settlement within the
next sixty days, viii bring another
great influx o. people, carrying the ag-
gregate population of the territory to a
point III excess Of half million inside
Of ninety days
The people Of Oklahoma are cosmop-
olitan, coming from every section OF the
nation. and few from foreign lands.
They are energetic, progressive and in
dustrious to an extent that has caused
them to build mp in the space Of de-
cade commonwealth that has never
been equaled for progress anywhere in
the history Of the world They are dis
tinctively American, with less than 3
per cent Of foreign birth and with a per
cent. Of iliteracy less than that of three
fourths Of the states of the union They
ARE hospitable and open-heartedi loyal
and patriotic, not only to the nation but
to their own rising commonwealth,
which every man woman or child, res
ident therein, believes to be superior 70
