NORTH OUTSTRIPPED
The Population Has Increased More
Rapidly in the South.
First Time In History, Says the Gem
sus Burenu-The Rate of Growth
More Nenr1y the Snme
Than Ever Before.

Washington, Jan. 14-The director
of the census has announced the per-
centage of increase of population in
different parts of the country, show
ing for the last decade rapid decrease
from previous rate of growth of pop
ulaton in the west, less marked, but
decided decrease in the north and
slight increase in the south. For the
first time in the history of this country
the population of the south has in
creased somewhat more rapidly than
that of the north. The east geo
graphically is included in, the term
north, west and south is far more
nearly the same than ii ever has been.
How Country Is Divided. =
The official announcement divides
the country as follows: West. from
the Pacific to the eastern boundary of
Montana. Wyoming, Colorado and
New Mexico; north and south, the re-
spective sides of line formed by the
Potomac and Ohio rivers and the
southern boundaries of Missouri and
Kansas. The percentage of increase
from 1860 TO 1850 was 61.9 in the north,
4s.4 in the south and 1856 in the west,
while in the last 90 years, 1ss0-19O0, it
was 4s.7 in the north, 4s.5 in the south
and 1915 in the west.
Prior to the civil war the northern
states nearly doubled in population
with each 90 years, while in the south
ern states the increase of population
1t- nh I'D
Rate of Growth.
Since 1860 the rate of growth in
both parts of the country has been
much less. but while the rate of growth
in the north has decreased steadily,
that in the south during the 90 years
from 1850 to 1850 has been slightly le SIS.
During the last 90 years there has been
no substantial difference in the rate of
growth of the two sections. The per
cent. of increase of growth of these
regions during each of the last two ten
year periods follows 1ss0-90. north,
PAS; south, 20.1; west, 71.3; 1s90-1900,
north. 10; south, 22.4; west, 31.9.
If the comparison is limited to the
states east of the Mississippi river,
CHASING Minnesota and Louisiana with
the western states, the result is slight
ly different. 1t would show the in
crease to be: 1ss0-0O, north, POL;
south, 10; 1s0O-10OO, north, 1919; south,
III.
Nearly the Same.
When the trans-MiSsissippi states
are omitted, the rate of growth in the
north is slightly greater than that in
the south. but the present difference
between the two sections in this re-
| spect is about half what il was between
1850 anc 1890. and less than one-sev.
enth of what it was between 1850 and
! 1860.
The frontier as large area of rapid
but intermittent growth is no longer
an important factor in the progress of
American population, and the rate of
growth in the several great areas of
the United States is now nearly the
| same.

SUNDAY ATTRACTION.

Special efforts are being made at the Board of Trade Restaurant for tomor- rows Sunday dinner, and, as usual, tho fine string orchestra will be in attendance during the hours from 3:3O to S:3O p. m. Our motto is: "The best is none too good; always give your patrons the best in the market" which can readily be seen is appreciated by tho public, judging from the liberal patronage. And why not? The help Is the most competent, and can only be had by paying larger wages than any one else in the business.
 Just examine the sauces and gravies favored with the best of wines; the pastry cannot be excelled, and the ice cream and little waters. served for 25 cents, are beyond comparison. The Sunday dinner prices range from 5O cents upward, including boiled or mashed potatoes, Waldorf stringless beans and sugar corn.

Crude Oil to be Used in
 Place of Wood
ON \. 6. GO. BOATS
The Trip From St.rlichael to Dawson to be
 Six Days.

Capt. J. E. Hansen, superintendent of the N. c. Co.,, stated today that next year his company will use crude oil as fuel. on their Yukon river fleet of steamers.
 This is n important step, as it means the loss of a source of livlihood for both natives and whites on the Yukon.
 The N. C. Co. s river steamers con- srHe annually about 25,O0O cords of wpod, and the intention of the company t9bsubstitute oil for wood will mean a ioss of 5000 at least to tho woodchop- pers along the river.
 Capt. Hansen left on the Dora this afternoon for St. Michael, from whence he will proceed up the Yukon, to Dsw- son, returning in about six weeks. Oil stations will be established at St. Michael, Tanana, Circle and Dawson. With the new fuel the company's fast est steamers will make the trip from Ss. Michael to Dawson in six days.
 It is also the intention of the manage ment of the N. c. Co.,, to rely more upon the local labor market hereafter. Instead of bringing employees to AL aska every spring and returning them to the states in the fall, men actually residing in Alaska will be employed. The settled condisaon now obtaining. Capt. Hansen believes warrants this departure.

HARDY WILL BE HANGED
 ON FRIDAY, i, SEPT. ls, NEXT
Bate of the Execution Set Yesterday After noon By Judge e.Moore---Condemned
 Man Showed No Trepidation.

has been losing flesh owing to his lous confinement, and he remarked the other day that if he was hanged . weight would have to be attached to his feet. He also asked one of the guards if his coffin would be lined with fur
 "I don't know," was the reply. What kind of fur would you like, Hardy?"
 "Polar bear skin," he said.
 Hardy has talked little about his triple crime, but few days ago he told the guard that George Aston, . witness against him, was as guilty as he, but that Aston had turned state's evidence. Then he added, "but Aston did all the killing"
 A death watch was placed upon Hardy on Thursday. It is the opinion of his keepers that previous to his execution he will break down and con- fess the terrible crime for which he is to suffer.
 Hardy, as the readers of the NUGGET know, was tried for the murder of Con Sullivan on Unimak island on Juno 6, 1901. He was also indicted by grand jury at Dutch Harbor last September for the murder of Florence Sullivan and P. J. Rooney. He was tried at Dutch Harbor by Judge Wickersham and convicted. An appeal was taken and the United States supreme court affirmed the decision of the lower court.
 The murder of the three men is one of the most diabolical recorded in the annals of crime, the only apparent motives being robbery and . lust for blood.
 Hardy's parents reside in Tennessee He is about 2S years of age.
