81 600, 900 the Great Northern has in the
past few months made improvements on

further could be done to avoid either
danger or delay" and that it is very
improbable that any danger or Interrupt

of trains over this division. The mem
bers of the commission express them
selves as much gratlfed with the report.
as it indicates that the Great Northern

and one-quarter miles of line relocated
to avoid proximity to points of previous

State is Growing g.sa.rridly.

Last Saturday the United States CEN
Gus bureau gave out the official figures
for the state of Washington. showing
the population at the time OF taking the
census last April.
The figures show that Washington
leads all the states Of the Union with an
increase of population in ten years OF
1904 per cent. Official figures show that
623, 1897 people have found homes In
Washington since 1900. bringing the
population of the state up to l. 41, 9OO.
Stevens county shows an increase from
1o.543 in 1900 to 25, 297 in 1910. 1t had
been confidently expected that the CEN
sus would show about 10000 people in
Stevens county, but we were disap-
pointed. So sure were the county offl-
Gals two years ago that the county had
80 900 at that time that on showing
made by the county superintendent from
the school census the county was ad-
vanced to the class of counties having to
exceed 10000, and salaries of county OFF,
cials were increased in accordance with
the estimate.
A dispatch from Colville states that
County officials informed relative to
census figures declare that Stevens
county is entitled to recount since the
population accredited by the official re
port of the census bureau awarded Stew
ems county population of $4,000. Ac'
cording to the school population for the
last year it is claimed that the county
will show population of $4,000. The
cities and towns of the county alone con
tain more than 1000 people,"
