OKLAHOMA LEADS
ALL IN INCREASE
Population Of United States Will Be
9t,t9S,29o if Present Rate of In
crease is Maintained.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 5.-The pop
ulation of the United States should be
81, ,193, 3,290, if the rate of increase shown
by states on which complete returns
have been received and tabulated by
the census officers, is maintained.
Counting New Mexico and Arizona
for present purposes assets, the full
returns of the enumeration have been
tabulated for SO out of the 40 states
and the District of Columbia. They
show a grand total of 6,355,17S, as
against 55,299,636 for the same area
in 1900.
This is a gain of 20 per cent over
the 75,994,575 indicated by the census
of 1900 A corresponding increase for
the 16 remaining states would bring
the figures for the entire country up
to the number stated.
The states not yet announced are:
Kansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi Montana, New Jersey,
North Dakota, North Carolina, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah,
Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
OF these it is expected that Texas
and Washington win show very large
increases.
Georgia, New Jersey, Montana, Utah,
wyoming and the, Dakotas will go be-
yond the average, so that there is
little doubt that tile exact total will
be even more than the present tabula-
tion indicates. 1t would not be sur.
prising If the aggregate would be al
most 91,5O0,000, which is million
and half more than has been gener-
ally estimated.
The aggregate increase in the S3
ground divisions accounted for is H.
045,542. Oklahoma with 1897 per cent,
and Idaho with 1913 per cent, are the
only states whose increase have run
over 100 per cent, and Iowa is the
only state which has shown de-
crease.
