GREAT GROWTH OF NEW YORK
IN PAST CENTURY.
[special to The sentinel. !

New York, Oct. 20.-Now that the
Hudson-Fulton celebration has gone
and New York has had an opportun-
ity to indulge in retrospcction. the
chief tendency of statisticians has
been toward an enumeration of the
accomplishments of this city during
the last century (that is. since Full
tons steamboat first chugged up the
riverl and the outlook for the COM
ing hundred years
In 1907. as the figures of research
ers show, the city. on the present -dav
basis would have been nowhere Its
population was only a trifle over S0,-
600, as compared to y million to-
day. The industries of the city at
the time of Fulton's voyage consisted
of four grist mills, three iron works.
one trip hammer and nineteen distil-
leries. The figures also chronicle the
existence of 7.140 hogs, 1869 meat
cattle, 46 6sidiots. SO lunatics. 2.OS5
paupers and 12.575 persons of col
or of whom 16 were qualified to
vote.
These early business undertakings
have within the century developed
into the present horde of manufac-
turing industries, numbering over
$4,000, which turn out products
with an annual value of Is billion
dollars AS the income of the federal
government in 1900 was only about
20 million dollars. the value of prod
ucts now turned out here as the re-
suit of single century's growth ex-
ceeds that figure nearly l00-fold.
Likewise the customs collections at
this port. which last year reached
the sum of 219 million dollars, or
more than one-third of the whole
revenue of the nation, are ten times
greater than the national revenue in
1907
Should the same rate of increase
continue during the next century ex-
perts figure that the citys population
in 2009 will reach the tremendous
figure of 225 million, or nearly three
times the present population of the
United States. What its area would
be with such a population is only a
matter of conjecture.

PURITY CONGRESS AFTER WHITE
SLAVE TRAFFIC.
Especial to The Sentinel. I

Burlington, Ia. Oct 21.-Organ-
lied warfare on the traffic in girls
was decided upon by the National
Purity Congress in it's annual session
here. 1t was shown that the white

proportions.

The congress adopted the following
resolution
The National Purity Congress

Especial to The Sentinel. ]

New York, Oct. 21.-With but one
or two exceptions, every state in the
union is now engaged in building
good roads. and legislatures are be
ing importuned to set apart large
sums of money for this purpose.
Chairman b. F. Yoakum of the
Rock Island-Frisco lines has taken
the subject of good roads up in :.
new and practical way His idea Is
to encourage the building of good
roads in the states covered by his
system.
Mr.. Yoakum, while here last week.
stated that he expected to see Colonel
John Jacob Astor's scheme for
transcontinental public highway an
accomplished fact within a few years.
Colonel John Jacob Astor. who re-
turned home from Europe last week,
is more impressed than ever with the
idea that the United States ought to
have system of trunk line high
ways, owned and controlled by the
federal government and running from
coast to coast. He declares his will
ingness to contribute 100000 to the
building of the first link of such a
transcontinental highway.
Once in Chicago and traversing the
naturally suited and densely popu
lated regions, the demands for the
roads extension to San Francisco via
Denver would be insistent and its
benefits would be inestimable. Colo
mel Astor says every state should
help bear its share of the expense in
