1900 DEATHS in CITY
5000 BIRTHS, IN YEAR
NET INCREASE IN POPULATION
OF MINNEAPOLIS WAS 100. Z.
More Male Than Females In the List Of
Dead-Pneumonia and Pulmonary
tuberculosis the Most Common Cause
of Death-Few Victims Of Con
tagious Disease. ~......,. =.

Death took more than $500 lives as
it's toll from Minneapolis in 1906. The
final figures will show about 1880
deaths; 1885 females and 1885 males.
But the death record was more than
overcome by the birth returns, which
added more than 5000 souls to the
population of Minneapolis. The deaths
show an increase of about $50 and the
births an increase of 500 over the
figures of 1905. :-~
Twins are no rarities in Minneap-
oils. More than fifty pairs have been
reported to the health department.. In
February alone eight pairs Of twins
made their advent in this city.
Pneumonia and pulmonary tuber-
culosis were the two most prolific
causes of death, the former claiming
about 295 victims and the latter PTS.
None Of the contagious or infectious
diseases have appeared as epidemics
during the past year. Typhoid fever,
scarlet fever, diphtheria and smallpox
have been present, but not to any
alarming extent. The number of deaths
from typhoid fever was only ninety
five. From scarlet fever, out Of PAL
cases there were ten deaths, and from
diphtheria, out Of 765 cases or more,
there have been about sixty-fve deaths.
Fatal accidents were numerous, fully
165 human beings losing their, lives
thru unexpected occurrences. Thirty
six committed suicide. ,.......s.. T.. :

WATER WORKS PUMPS
r.. PUT IN BUSY YEAR
Two Stations Handle Total of 6,43l,-
3O1, 475 Gallons, Which Is Much Less
Than Last Year. -~.t -. r..

Minneapolis consumed enough river
water in the year now drawing to a
close to make a presentable lake.
Either one of theSreservoir basins would
make a tidy pond almost anywhere, as
the capacity is more than 47,OOO,OOO
gallons, but the basin would have to
be filled full and drained dry 1877 times
that was needed in 1906.
Supervisor J. H, Mcconnell, estimat-
ing the work Of the pumping stations
for the last three days Of the year, fixes
the entire work Of" the two pumping
stations at 6,431, 501,475 gallons. This
looks like vast lot of water. and it
is, but it is. less than the average for
the last fourteen years. In the year
1899, for instance, when the city was
smaller by 10000 people than it is now,
the annual consumption Of water was
current year. The explanation is an
old story. Much water is still wasted,
without any doubt, but increased use
of meters decreases the work of the
pumping stations and increases the re-
ceipts of the water department in the
most delightful manner. ..
;; The average daily consumption, Sun
days included, was 17,620,00O gallons.
AS the Camden place station has ca
pacity of 24;000,000 gallons and the
Northeast station a capacity of 30,000,-
900, either station is equal to the task
Of supplying the city. with water, and
they will undoubtedly suffice for many
years to come: -. -
On basis of population of 275,O00,
the average daily consumption of water
per individual was. 60.5 gallons. Many
people will be inclined to dispute this
statement, but the: figures are official:
The financial report Of the department
is not yet completed, but it is known
that fine showing will be made.

MILLIONS OF LETTERS
Postoffice Handles Ninety
Million Pieces During 1906.

Ninety million, pieces Of mail have
been dispatched from the Minneapolis
postotfice in the year, now drawing to
close. Of these 100000 were let
ters, and the remainder mail Of all
other classes. To accomplish this the
postal clerks had to make up about
$4,000 pouches Of letters and $4,000
sacks OF newspapers and other matter.
>, No piece figures are available as to
the amount of mail coming into Min
neapolis during. the year. Stating the
receipts in pouches and sacks, they are:
Pouches Of letters, 100000; sacks Of
papers and other matter other than first
class, 384,000; total, 444,O0O. The ex-
cess of outgoing over incoming mail
shows. the immense amount of business
done by the distributing firms of Min
neapolis.. =
These figures are given in round num-
bers, as the fiscal year Of the postoffice
ends June 80 and no exact figures for
the. calendar year are available. These
estimates were made from data fur
nished by Horace G. Parlin, superin.
tendent Of mails, and are probably a
bit below the actual totals.
