REPORT ON IMMIGRATION TO |DAHO|
Assistant Commissioner Of immigration
Makes Population Of
State Increasing Rapidly

Heber Q. Hale, assistant COM
missioner OF immigration, Labor
and statistics, regarding immigra-
ton to the state, tells the Capital
News ~ follows:
In 1870. when the first census
was taken in this state by the Fed
eral Census Bureau, Idaho was
given total population of Is, 900
souls. The second census figures,
made in 1880 gave 80 900, an in.
crease OF 1900, or 113A per cent.
In 1890, the year of statehood, the
general total was raised to "a, 900
showing an advance in the popu-
lation for that decade Of 81, 900, or
1862 per cent. From 1890 to 1900,
when the last federal census was
taken, which gave the state l62, 900
population, the increase was 81, 900
or l0S per cent. Estimating that
Idaho has now population of $780,
600, the increase since 1900 would
be 1873, ZOO, or lie per cent. The
total increase, therefore, in the
population of the state since 1870,
is 335 900, which would average
about 8,Sl6 a year, or 124 per cent.
Immigration to the state during
the last three years has been al
most phenomenal. The opening to
settlement Of the great irrigation
tracts is the principal cause. 1t is
estimated that fully 65, 900 people
have come to the state and made
homes during the past two years.
The average increase in population
in the last eight years has been
%, 800 per annum. OF course, this
includes the natural increase as
well as the immigration to the
state.
These w.cOmers are scattered
over the entire state; but have con.
gregated most thickly upon the ir.
rigated tracts of southern Idaho.
The numbering camps of the north
have also received some in excess
Ut a proportionate share. A fea
ture which is agreeably noticeable
in this influx of "new blood" is the
fact that it is literally sprinkleG

or course these figures, especially

considerably increased to bring
them up to date.
The Japanese are located princi-
pally in the beet fields, on the rail-
roads and in restaurants; the Chi
nese, in restaurants, laundries and
city vegetable gardens; the Italians
and Greeks, on the railroad and
few in mines; the negroes are con-
fined wholly to the larger cities
where they engage in servant work

Australians take the railroading

we will call attention to the i'm.
migration to this state; firstly, as
affecting the country, and, second
ly, as affecting the towns and
cities.

are new citizens to the state, have

ourselves to the two years last

1908 AND 1892.

The Republican national convention
of 1908 resembled in a striking way the
convention held at Minneapolis in
1892. The delegates in both conver-
tions were for one man, while the en-
thusiasm of the galleries and the
crowd on the outside were for another.
The nominee Of both these conventions
was certain in advance, but in this the
two conventions did not differ from
other Republican conventions. The
nominee Of the Republican conventions
Of 1896, 1900 and 1904 was known
months before the holding of the con-
vention. There was no enthusiasm
for Harrison at Minneapolis in 1922
and the same is true with Taft at Chi
cago In 1908. 1t was known that Har-
rison had the delegates and yet there
was a faint hope in the ranks of the
Republican party that something would
happen to nominate James G. Blaine
Blaine had been the secretary Of state

was the great man Of that admins

owed that of the President.
