THE 10 ORIGINAL STATES.

In 1890 the various states in rank
of population were as follows: (1) Vir-
GINA, (2) Pennsylvania, (s) North Car
Dina, (4) Massachusetts,, (5) New
York, (e) Maryland, (7) South Caro-
lima, (s) Connecticut, (9) New Jersey,
(1O) New Hampshire, az Georgia, (l2)
Rhode Island and (lS) Delaware.
The order in rank of these states has
considerably changed since the FIRST
CENSUS, being now as follows: (10
New York, ~ Pennsylvania, (3) Mas
sachusetts, (I Georgia, (5) North Car
olina, (o) New Jersey, ~ Virginia, (s)
South Carolina, (9) Maryland, (10) Con
necticut, (11) Rhode Island. (12) New
Hampshire aud (1s) Delaware.
Pennsylvania and Delaware are the
only ores among the original states
At the present time holding the same
relative rank in population as in 1890
Pennsylvania is the only one holding
the same absolute position. being I'd
now as in 1890. Delaware is now 46th
in rank among the present states and
territories.
In 1890 Virginia was first among the
states, and New York 5th. New York
is now frst 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 18th in 1890, and
4th now among the original states,
Another notable fact in this same con-
nection 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 each case ex-
ceeded in number the population of
Georgia. Georgia is still nth in the
column of states, as in $780, and Maine
has been relegated to 3Oth place and
Vermont to 4Oth Still another notab BILE
fact is the rate of Georgia's growth
in the past 1lO years as compared with
the rate of growth of the other states.
Georgia's present population is just
under 81 times what it was in 1890
The nearest approach TO this among
the 10 states is in the case of New York.
whose population is about 2l times
what it was when the first national
census was taken.

CONCERNING VARIOUS STATES

All of North Dakota's 80 countieshave
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 70
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
ace about IA 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 decrease. One
county (Hooker) shows in the census
report an increase of only 6 for the
decade. Lincoln has a population
over times as great as in 1880.
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 $4,000 square
miles. and for each square mile Gland
sufface) there are sc inhabitants.
The past decade has seen great
err increase in population than any
previous decade in the history of
the state. This increase has lacked less
than 5000 of being 100000. Only :,
counties out of the 1O2 have shown
decrease in population. All the rest
have shown a rather steady advance in
the decade. There are $50 incorpo-
rated cities, towns and villages in Hi
nois. In ls40 Chicago had only 4,470 in
habitants. The city's present popula-
tion of 60S,575 is over 357 times the
former figure. Peoria is the second
city in the state, and then come in or
der the following cities: Quincy,
Springfield, Rockford, East ST. Louis
and Joliet.
All OF Minnesota's 50 counties have
increased in population since 1890.
The largest increase is In Hen
nepin county, the largest percentage
OF increase is that of Beltrami, which
shows population 3,435.3 per cent.
larger now than 10 years ago. The
state numbers 447 Incorporated cities,
villages and borroughs. Three cities
minneapolis, ST. Paul ana Duluth)
have over $4,000 inhabitants. In 1860
Minneapolis had 1854 against her pres
emit population of 2O2,71s. st. Paul had,
in 1850, 1.112 inhabitants against the
Frsssnt showing of 163,065. Duluth

HOW STATES HAVE GROWN.

The population of Michigan is more
than sos times as large as that given
for 1910, the date of the first 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
446 times what the returns gave in
1900.
Illinois is third in this classification
Of the states, its population now num-
bering over 1902 times what 1t did in
1916. The close proximity of these
three states is worthy of note. as also is
their almost simultaneous settlement.
Minnesota comes fourth in such a
classification of the states, but her rec
ord is really as wonderful as that Of
Michigan for it is to be considered
that her first census was taken as late
ly as 1850, at which time Michigan's
population was 397 e54, and Mnnesota's
only SOFT. Minnesota now has a pop
ulation exceeding 2ss times the latter
figure.
Mississippi has multiplied its popu-
lation 175 times within the century
just closed The two Dakotas come
along each having at the present time
a population nearly $50 times as large
as at the first census taken in those
localities The Dakotas' increase is
really larger, however. than Missouri's,
because the comparisons are made
with Missouri's census of 1910 and that
Of the Dakotas in 1860. Ohio has
population 911s times greater than she
had a century ago. and Arkansas fig
ures show a population now 80 times
greater than in 1890

PROPORTION OF PEOPLE IN THE GREAT CITIES.

Over ore-quarter of the entire pop
ulation of the country is found in the
large cities.
The 159 cities having a population
Of over $4,000 inhabitants combined
have population of 9,694,625.
No one state in the entire union
could furnish a 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-
ton of the 159 largest cities from 1890
to 1900 was 4,s39, 1885, or s2,426 less than
the absolute increase from 1880 to 1890.
when it was 1921, 1863. The percentage
of increase from 1890 to 1900 was 32.5
against 49.5 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 2s, and in 1900 10 3s. In 1900
there were rs cities of $4,000 inhab-
itants or more as compared with SIS
in 1890 and IS in 1880.
The combined population in 1900 OF
the 10 cities of the first class is 11,795,-

CLASSIFICATION OF STATES

Only one state has over 1000, 900
inhabitants--New York.
Pennsylvania is alone in the class
between 100000 and 100000.
Two states, Illinois and Ohio, have
between 100000 and 100000 inhab-
itants Illinois took the lead from
Ohio in the census of 1890. In 1880 the
positions were exactly reversed, though
neither state at that time had anywhere
near 100000 people.
Texas and Missouri are the two
states which number between 100000
and 1000 900. Missouri had better look
out for her laurels. Texas has during
the past decade leaped to within 10000
of as large population. These two
states are showing a remarkably rapid
growth.
There are states which have fig
ure place in the million column. Mas
sachusetts leads with 2,S05346. Then
come in order of their rank Indiana,
Michigan, Iowa, Georgia, Kentucky,
Wisconsin and Tennessee. The close
race of Georgia and Iowais TO be noted.
In the last census they held the same
relative position, but then Iowa had
eriead of 74,543; now her lead is but
b,522
1t is a peculiar fact that there are
n many states having the figure l in
the million column as there were origi
nal states. The two states that head
the list Of these 10 are North Carolina
and New Jersey. and they are making
close race for precedence North
hearolina led in the census of 1890 by q
ginargin OF 1891 Now her lead is only
1914.
There are IS states. all the territories
(6) and the District of Columbia--25
in sll-which have a population of less
than 100000 Of these, and indeed
of all the states. Oregon and New
Hampshire are the nearest to tie, the
former having the lead by less than
1000. the actual differences being l.
esq. The District OF Columbia has a
lead over the state of Utah of scarce
ly more, 1869 being needed by the lat
ter to make a tie. It is to be noted
that four of the - original states are
within the number having a population
of less than 100000. These 4 states
are Connecticut. Rhode Island, New
Hampshire and Delaware. Vermont

POINTS ABOUT ALASKA.

Alaska has almost doubled its pop
ulstion in the past 10 years.
A curious point about this increase
is that the increase of the northern
district has almost equaled the en-
