HOW STATES HAVE GROWN.

The population OF Michigan Is more
than sos times as large as that given
for 1910, the date OF the frat census
taken in that territory.
Indiana holds second place In the
matter Of phenomenal increase in pop
ulation between the taking OF the first
and OF the last census. The inhab-
itants Of the state now number over
$40 times what the returns gave in
1900.
Illinois Is third in this classification
OF the states. its population now num-
bering over 392 times what IL did In
1910. The close proximity Of these
three states IL worthy of note. as al so is
their almost simultaneous settlement.
Minnesota comes fourth in such a
classiiics ton OF the states. but her rec
ord Is really a. wonderful % that Of
Michigan. for IL Is TO be considered
that her frat census was taken as late.
~ a. 1850. at which time Michigan's
population was 397, G5t. and Minnesota's
only 6,O57, Minnesota now has pop
uiation exceeding 2ss times the latter
figure.
Mississippi has multiplied II, popu-
laiion IT'S times within the century
just closed. The two Dakotas come
along each having at the present time
= population nearly 100 times as large
as at the first census taken In those
localities. The Dakotas' increase Ia
really larger. however. than MisSouri's,
because the comparisons are made
with Missouri's census Of 1910 and that
Of the Dskotss in 1860. Ohio has a
population 9ihs times greater than she
had u century ago. and Arkansas fig
ures show a population now 30 times

CONCERNING VARIOUS STATES


All OF North Dakota's 30 counties have
increased in population in the past 10
years. Wells county has increased by
nearly 600 per cent; three other coun-
ties Billings, Mclean and PIERCE, by
nearly 500 per cent, The state has 10
incorporated cities, towns and viii
lagos.
The population Of Nebraska Is more
than 81 times as large as that given for
1860, the first year in which the popula-
ton appears in the census report. There
are about II people to each square
mile. One county Boyd has shown in
the last decade a phenomenal increase,
the population now being nearly 10
times greater than in 1890. Nearly
two-hfths of the counties Of the
state have shown a decrease. One
county (Hooker) shows in the census
report an increase OF only for the
decade. Lincoln has a population
over times as great as in 1850.
Omaha's advance has not been nearly
so great, but South Omaha has grown
very rapidly, and mostly in the past
10 years. This latter city is over three
times as great as in 1890.
Illinois has an area OF Sc, 900 square
miles, and for each square mile Gland
surfaced there are SO inhabitants.
The past decade has seen a great
et increase in population than any
previous decade in the history OF
the state. This increase has lacked less

counties out OF the i02 have shown a
decrease in population. All the rest
have shown rather steady advance in
the decade. There are go incorpo-
rated cities. towns and villages in Illi-
nois. In 1910 Chicago had only 4.470 i'm
habitants. The city's present popula-
ton OK i.69s.575 is over 357 times the

THE - ORIGINAL STATES.

In 1870 the various states In rank
Of population were a. follows: Ql Nir.
GINA, (2) Pennsylvania. go North Car
olina, CO Massachusetts,. 60 New
York. j6) Maryland. 90 South Caro-
lima. (s) Connecticut, 90 New Jersey,
U0) New Hampshire. QD Georgia. Q2)
Rhode Island aud (i5) Delaware.
The order in rank OF these states has
considerably changed since the FIRST
census. being now as follows: CD
New York, GU Pennsylvania, (a) Mas
sachusetts. go Georgia. 90 North Car.
olina, (s) New Jersey, GD Virginia, 80
South Carolina, 90 Maryland. ti0) Con-
neciicu,, QD Rhode Island, C2) New
Hampshire and (i3) Delaware.
Pennsylvania and Delaware are she
only ones among the original states
az the present time holding the same
relative rank in population aa in 1880
PeBnsylvania Is the only enc holding
the same absolute position. being 2c
now "a In 1920. Delaware IL now 10th
in rank among the present states and
territories.
In 1890 Virginia was first among the
states, aud New York 5th. New York
IL now first and Virginia is 9Th among
the original states and nth among all
the states and territories Of the union.
Georgia has made the most notable
leap among the original states in the
matter OF rank, being nth in 1890, and
1th now among the original states.
Another notable fact In this same con
neciion is that In 1890 the population
OF the territory now embraced in the
state OF Maine and the population OF
what is now Vermont, in esch css,sS-
ceeded in number the population OF
Georgia. Georgia Is still 18th in the
column OF states, as in 1890, and Maine
has been relegated 20 30th place and
Vermont 10 10th. Still another notable
fact is the rate of Georgia's growth
in the past 40 years as compared with
the rate OF growth o. the other states.
Georgia's present population is just
under % times what It was In 1890.
The nearest approach 20 this among
the 10 states Is Ia the case OF New York,
whose population Is about 2l times
what Il was when the first national
census was taken.

PROPORTION OF PEOPLE IN THE GREAT CITIES.

Over one-quarter of the entire pop
ulstion of the country is found in the
large cities.
The ISs cities having a population
of over $4,000 inhabitants combined
have population of l9,os4,625.
No one state in the entire union
could furnish population great
enough to people the largest cities.
The population of the 3 largest cit
les combined would exceed that of
the I'd state, Pennsylvania. The pop
ulation of the 4 largest cities would
almost equal the entire population of
the Empire state.
The absolute increase in the popula-
tion of the 159 largest cities from 1890
to 1900 was 1889 1876, or so, 426 less than
the absolute increase from 1880 to 1890,
when II was 4,92l, seq. The percentage
Of increase from 1890 to 1900 was 32.5
against 4e.5 the decade previous.
In 1880 there were but 20 cities which
contained more than 100000 inhab-
itants, but in 1890 this number had in
creased to rs, and in 1900 TO 80. In 1900
there were rs cities OF $4,000 inhab-
itsnts or more as compared with IS
la 1895 and IS in 1880.
The combined population in 1900 of
the 10 cities of the frst class is IL 1885,
500 as against a population in 1890 OF
$50, los. representing an increase dur
ing the 10 years of 2,s1e,7O4, or a2.s
