Striking facts About Our State

A more exhaustive analysis of the
population of Washington in 1910
than has yet been given is found in
q new census bulletin on the number
of inhabitants by counties and mi
nor civil divisions. This state in
creased in population about six times
as rapidly as the United States as q
whole from 1900 to 1910, the per-
centage Of increase being 1904
while for the United States the in
crease was Fl percent. The lowest
rate Of increase since Washing ton
had . separate government was from
1890 to 1900, when it was S percent.
The first United States census was
taken in 1860, when the population
of the territory percentage of in
crease was 1866; from 1870 to 1880
it was 1856; from 1880 to 1890 it
was 1856. From 1880 to 1890 the
population went up from 1916 to
357, ,232. which made the biggest
percentage Of growth of any decade.
but the gain from 1900 to 1910 is
even more remarkable. because it
was about 100000 souls.
