CONTINENTAL UNITED
STATES.
Expected to Show eOooo,ooo In Popu-
lation.

Washington, D. C. Especially The
total population of the United States and
island possessions may reach l00,000,000,
according to unofficial estimates made
by Director of the Census Durand.
When the figures are completed, about
November, Mr.. Durand expects to see
the total for the states show about 90,-
100000. 1t may run up to 9l,000,000,
but this now appears improbable. The
statistical estimate places the figure at
S9,0l2,000, but it is considered sure that
1t will 60 beyond that. With the resi-
dents of the Philippine and other islands
it is possible that the total will round
out the century of millions.
That's not such big number" said
census employe, "if you stop to think
that John ID. Rockefeller could give every
man, woman and child SO each and then
have some change to put in the Sunday
school plate"
1t is estimated that from 1900 to 1907
this country gained about 4,292,000 by
immigration. About 80 per cent. of i'm
migrants in those years returned to their
native lands. From 1907 to 1910 rec
ords of returning immigrants were kept,
and show that of the 2,576,000 who en-
tered this country 790,S75 returned. The
total increase in ten years from immigra-
tion is estimated at 6,000,000.
