The Population of Oklahoma.

According to the federal census
of 1900 the population OF Oklahoma
and Indian Territory was 100 ,391,
and was pretty evenly divided be-
tween the two. Each of these ter
%ritordes had a larger population than
any n of the following western
safes: North Dakota, Wyoming, Mon
tana, Idaho, Utah. If they had been
combined as one state its population
would nave exceeded that of Sou,A
Dakota or Colorado.
Under a special census just taken,
the total population Of the combined
territory is placed at something more
than 100000, or nearly double the
figure OF seven years ago.. 1t exceeds
that of Nebraska in 1900 and comes
close to that Of Kansas in that wear.
And the area of both territories
combined is less than that of any Of
the states that we have named.
NOT only has the increase of popu-
lat1on been very remarkable, but no
state on its admission has had SO
large a population or SO dense a
population. The difference is so
very marked that Oklahoma NAV lie
said to stand In a class by itself.
AS the states stood in 1900, it would
rank tw%enty-third, next to Kansas.
and allowing for the probable in
crease elsewhere It should hold that
rank In 1910. Recurring apain III
the census of 1900, the present popu-
lation of Oklahoma exceeds that re-
corded for Montana, New Mexico.
delaware, Idaho, Hawaii, Arizona,
Wyoming. Alaska and Nevada all to-
|getner. Nor has any Of those states
q territories any such prospects
OF growth. Oklahoma is a rich, in
yiting agricultural region with com
paratiyely little waste land and m
|area large enough to sustain a popu-
|lation like that Of Iowa, Missouri or
Illinois. Obviously, also, its Indian
population will be Of steadily d.
minishing Importance. The Indians
OF Indian Territory numbered but
5000 in 1870, and by this recent
census the population OF that ter-
|ntory. Is put at 100000. The IN
dams OF Oklahoma numbered less
t~hansl4,,O0O In 1900, and this census
gives to that part OF the new state
e population Of n9.000.-Record-

TEST SUNDAY REST LAW.

Last Sunday the Sunday rest law
went into eeffct in this state This
law closes all places of amusement
and stores and saloons on the Sab
bath, IL allows, of course, drug
stores. restaurants etc. to do busi-
ness. \ few of the Boise Dealers
were found to stand out in defiance
OF the law, and as consequence some
arrests were made. w. f. Dolan. n
groccrymnn, was the first to he talk
en- into custody. 1t was afterward
learned that the opposing dealers had
combined to fight the law and test its
constitutionalty, and that Mr.. Dolan
was agreed upon as being the man to
take the initiative, the others stand
ing in and bearing their portion of
the expense of the defense.
Reports from different portions of
the state show that the law was duly
observed, except in ShOshone county.
1t appears that the towns of that
county totally disregarded the law
throughout. saloons and stores and
places of amusement remained wide
open and not an officer of tho law
made an attempt at hindrance.
Until the law is proved unconstitu-
tional, Boise City intends enforcing it
to the letter.
