CONTINENTAL UNITED
STATES.
Expected to Show 100000 In Popu-
lation.

Washington, D. c. (Special) The
total population of the United States and
island possessions may reach l00,000,O00
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,OO0
but this now appears improbable. The
statistical estimate places the figure at
S9,9l2000, but it is considered sure that
1t will 20 beyond that. With the resi-
derts OF the Philippine and other islands
it is possible that the total will round
out the century OF millions.
That's not such a big number" said
a census employee, 'if you stop to think
that John d. 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,S15 returned. The
total increase in ten years from immigra-
ton is estimated at 100000.
