Missouri Population.

The census gatherers state that
according to the recent count there
are 3,293,335 people living in Mis-
souri,. This is a gain in ten years
of 1860. These figures show a
drift of rural population to towns.
Seventy-one counties show a de-
crease in populations t. Louis gain
ed 111791; Kansas City l20,629.
This makes total gain for the two
cities of 232,42O as the total gain
of the state is only 1860 the
country must have lost 45,750
These figures may push Missouri
from her proud position of fifth
state down to sixth and may cause
her to lose one congressman. The
representation is now one congress
man to every $4,000 of population
If left the same Missouri will claim
another congressman, if the repre-
sentation is increased to 225.000 as
suggested, Missouri will likely lose
one.
The gain in Texas is considered
remarkable. Fifty-fve counties
show a gain of SOL per cent. Clar-
