DETROIT'S PROGRESS

Detroit's gain in population since 1900
is the largest yet reported for any of the
cities Of it's rank. The increase was $50,
062, bringing the total up from 2S5,7O4
to 465, 766. The percentage of gain was
63. In the preceding decade the percent
age was only 3S7. The remarkable ad-
vance made by Detroit will carry 1t
ahead of several rivals slightly outrank-
ing it in 1900. 1t stood thirteenth i'll the
rating ten years ago. 1t will now pass
New Orleans, Cincinnati and San Fran
cisco and may overtake Buffalo.
The figures for Cincinnati have already
been made public. It's population i'll 49,
10 is 364, ,463. New Orleans had 2S7 ,104
in 1900 and probably has about $50, 700
now. San Francisco had 342, ,902 in 49,
90 and probably has now about $4,000.
Buffalo which had 352, ,3S7 in 1900, will
have to gain ll3, 900 to keep even with
Detroit. 1t gained 80, 600 between 1890
and 1900 and ought to have gained about
l25, 900 in the last decade But appare-
ntly it is not pushing ahead as fast as
ether of its lake neighbors and rivals,
Cleveland and Detroit. Milwaukee,
which was only 3S9 behind the latter i'll
1900. has now been hopelessly distanced.
Its population increased in the ten years
to 1887, leaving it 81 900 behind.
Urban growth seems to have been I'M
usually irregular since 1900, and many
changes in the ranking of the large cities
are indicated by the totals SO far an
nounced.

ALUMNI GATHERING
Alma College Students Meet at
Cinema
FORTY STUDENTS WERE THERE
Frank Hurst OF Alma Was Present to Assist In
all Having a Good Time

Forty students and alumni of Alma
College met at Omena on the shores of
Grand Traverse Bay, August l6, for the
first annual reunion of the Northern
Michigan association of the college.
They arrived in Omena III the forenoon
from all the towns around Grand
Traverse, the largest number hailing
from Elk Rapids and Old Mission, on
the little launch Anna Theresa. There
were twenty-five Alma enthusiastics
who arrived OH this boat and as soon as
they struck Omena and joined the
earlier arrivals aud the aggregation of
Alma people that make their home in
this popular resort there was fun and a
plenty for all.
The Anderson boys and Burke and
Hermann Morse who is pastor of the
Omena church this summer, were in
charge of refreshments and the feast
they had prepared would gladden. the
heart and stomach of any man in the
world. Fried chicken, boiled potatoes,
rolls, ice cream, cake, and coffee were
a few of the dainties served to the
hungry crowd.
After dinner Big Ole Anderson and
Frank Hurst chose sides for a ball game
and the team of the later won out by
rally in the last inning the final score
standing 6 to 4. The features of the
game were the short stopping of Davy
Johnson 'o5 of Marengo, Iowa, and the
fielding of IRiun and Red Anderson and
Morse. One sad part of the days doings
was the fact that Billy Burke YVES kept
so busy around his ice cream stand that
he could not get into the game, 1t
would have been delightful to have
seen him lose the ball few times in
the bay.
The ball throwing contest for women
went to Nina Martin 10 who threw a
distance of 112E feet Miss Delora
Hauel, freshman of the coming year,
citement of various sorts for all hands
until the time for lea wing in the even
ing, when the sad parting came; some
returning to their fields of labor TO

to appear together on the college
campus after September H. The re
union was a success Ill every way and
