OUR POPULATION
ON THE gain.
The States Now Numbers L65l,33l
WESTERN COUNTIES gain.

The population of Kansas
March |, 1907. was 1,6513.13. a
net increase of $3.50 or "a per
cent over the perceeding year. ac-
cording to the enumeration of in
habitants, returned by assessors
through their county clerks to
the State Board of Agriculture.
This is the largest population
ever reported for the State. BY
far the larger per centages of in
crease are in the western counties.
Seventy-four counties show an
aggregate gain of 1886, and 30
a loss, altogether. of 1926. As
the officials in Atchison county
again ignored and muIliRed the
law and made only such partiaI re.
turns as suited their convenience
giving the county but $500 popu-
latlon, the figures returned for
1905 have been used in this years
computations.
Each of the 80 counties living
west of the goth meridian shows a
gain over last year, except Phil.
lips and Ness, whose loses, how.
ever. total only so. These 80
counties show net gain of2O, 532.

craese is 54.6 per cent of that for
the entire State. Cheyenne. Wal.
lace. Hamilton, Greeley. Stanton,
Sherman, and Morton. the seven
extreme western counties border.
ing Colorado, show an aggregate
gain of 26 per cent.
The largest increase reported is
IN Montgomery county. which has
gained 3,94O, followed by Wyan.
dotte with 3,S7O. Crawford with
2,757, Finney with 2,441 and
Leavenworth with 2,096. The
smallest increase is in Os borne
county, which gained 2. The
largest decrease is in Usage coun.

ing OF Of 1859. Neosho, John.
son, Jackson. and Chautauqua. as
named, show The next largest de-
creases.
Statements of the percentages
of incrpaes convey a good idea OF
the ratio of growth of the coun-
ties showing gains. The largest
per cent of increase in any county
east of the 99th meridian is Z per
cent. IN Montgomery. Among
the western counties, Kearny
shows gain of 1855 per cent,
Steven 100 per c,nt. Seward 1O2
per cent, Greeley II. Grant 67.S.
Stanton 54,F inney 52.9 and Wal.
lace 30 per cent. The largest per
cent of decrease is I per cent in
Usage county. OF the 30 counties
showing decreases 81 report a fall.
ling Oft of only per cent. or less.
The rank of the five counties
laeding in population this year, is
with two notable exceptions, the
same as last. Shawnee county has
dropped from second to third
place and Montgomery has ad.
vanced from third place to second.
The leading FIVE counties in 1901
are Wyandotte. Montgomery.
Shawnee, Sedgwick, and Craw.
ford, in the order named.
A comparison of the population
statistics for 1907 with those of
ten years previous shows some
very remarkable increases.
There were 284,542. or 2O.S per
cent, more inhabitants this year
than in 1897. Eighty. eight coun.
ties show increases in the tie I
years and II counties (all in the
eastern half Of the State) show
decreases. In the decade, Mont.

The indications from these re-

what they will properly mature.

There was not another man on

a double play which retired the

for the visitors. and they began
to sit up and take notice. but did
no good. because they got no far

We have been unable to get any
