Population Of D. 5.

The census bureau estimate of
7o, 600, $50 for the population Of the
United States on June T. 1908,
seems conservative and is probably
at least one million short Of the
actual number. The increase dur
ing the three years BY this estimate
is 3,oo5, ,SI4 Inasmuch as during
the three years the rush of immi-
grants was enormous, reaching ov-
er 1 600, 900, this estimate implies
that our natural increase by births
over deaths has been only ? million.
This amounts to about .ooo per
cent. natural increase per year.

decade IS9o-Iooo averaged nearly
twice as much-.oI57 If our nat

Far removed from the urging of the
political waves of larger seas, Sa-
means, foreign and native, content or
disturb themselves with the rule and
ruling of their own limited horizon. To
the foreign residents Governor Solf so
far has been satisfactory. He caused
the native people to plant at least
1000, 900 cocoanut trees during German
occupation, and these trees viii within
a few years be in full bearing, adding
about so per cent to the native copra

Evidently, despite many difficulties,
Samoa is advancing. Freight rates
from San Francisco practically pro-
hibit trade, so few orders go to that
port, while business with the colonies
is prospering- 1t is generally believed
that the interests of a single German
firm are too closely considered. but
that the orders for the extension OF

that the Governor is powerless to coun-
