enumeration

Thus in 100 years the population
has been multiplied almost by %,
and in so years almost by three. We
now have have an average of about
20 inhabitants to the square mile
although there are many states and
territories in which there is a square
mile of room for every two or three
persons. Ten years ago Rhode Is
land had 407 people to the square
mile and Massachusetts 34S. AS
showing that even these old and
comparatively small states are not
too crowded for comfort, it may be
said that, based upon the estimated
population of Greater New York,
there is now about $1,000 people to
the square mile in this city.
In 1890 the Northwest Territory
had just been organized. Both Illi-
nols and Ohio, states created in that
region, now have many moro inhabi-
tants than we're then to be found In
the whole country The population
of these states added to that of the
other Michigan, Indiana and
Wisconsin-is now greater than
that OF the United States at the
census of 1s40. Yet there were men
calling themselves far-slghted who
only a hundred years ago predicted
that the Northwest Territory was
destined for all time to be the home
only of wild beasts and wildermen.
Since 1850 the center Of population
has been moving westward in what
was once the Northwest Territory
Even more doleful prophecies were
made as to the fate Of the Louisiana
territory, out of which have been
formed states that now have popu-
lation nearly three times as large as
that of all the states in 1910. Mis-
;souri alone has more people than
were enumerated at the first National
census in 1890. AS many people now
live west OF the Missouri River as
were round In the entire country by
the census-takers of 1850, and Okla
homa, figuring now for the third
time only in census, has more in
habitants than all New England
possessed In 1920, while Texas has At
least three times as many.
To come nearer home, New York
City. embracing but S26 square miles,
now has almost as many inhabitants
as were returned by the National
census OF 1900, and great as are
many OF the states of the Union, only
two of them, Pennsylvania and
have more people than are
to be found in this one splendid
municipality
A wonderful country; wonderful
city!

Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1910-08-20

Social circles have been unusually
quiet for the past week and indeed
for the past month. The mountains
and the seaside have proven the great
attraction, and the hot dry weather
has had a depressing effect as dust
and heat are net conducive to the eX-
change of those social civilities that
take the harsh edges off, and smooth
out the wrinkles of every day life
The negligee garments Of the seaside
and the acute brunette complexion
due to the kisses of the sun and the
caresses of the breezes fresh from
Japan and so a little off in color, are
still holding the boards as the prin-
cipal attraction to society people.
And are no doubt preferable to the
ode rigeur" dress and apple blossom
style of complexion due to-well due
to tact taste, skill and the good
health following mountain or sea-
side visit, or-something else beyond
the power of the horse editor, or the
desire of the society editor, to tell.
In a couple of weeks the resorts will
be deserted and Salem will again
enjoy the light and life its society
people give it. OF course it will take
a short time to forget the glad sum
mertime and to fall into the old
grooves, but the indications are that
the coming winter will be an unusu-
ally gay one in the social way. For
one thing the meeting of the legisla-
ture necessarily stirs up the social
spirit, when Salem exerts herself to
entertain the states lawmakers and
the numerous people drawn to the
capital by the meeting of the legisla-
ture. Besides this Salem has made
such a wonderful growth-has so
many new people, so many new
houses that the social circle is
necessarily largely extended to make
room for them and social functions
become correspondingly& more num-
erous,
The Elk's big Open Air play "Top-
sy Turvey' was the main social
event of the week Indeed 1t was
practically the sole event. So many
of Salem's talented people took part
in It, and, SO much interest was TAX
en- it by those not on the program
that everything else was side
tracked. The rehearsals so neces-
sary to success, took up the even
ings the play was not being present
ed and with three presentations of
the play the time was well account
ed for by those taking part. 1t was
the event of the summer; looked
forward to with pleasurable antici-
patton and looked back to, now, with
regret the same kind a boy feels
when he has eaten the last of his
ice cream, just because it is all over
and no more in sight. It was In
deed a treat.
