Indians Are Increasing.
ON the Chicago Record Herak

From the Chicago Record Herald
Between 1900 and 1910 the Indian popu-
lation In the United States increased by
12 per cent, according to census figures.
The estimate for 1910 Is 285, 1888: for 1900
1t was 237. 1876. The bureau says that 56.6
per cent OF the Indians In existence in
1910 were full bioods.
These wards of the white mans gov
eminent are in many tribes. The Chero-
KEGS number 81 ,469, the NavaJos g. 466.
the Chippewas 2O.214. and the Choctaws
1917 according to the 1910 census. In
Alaska there are Is, 331 Indians. OF whom
S4.7 per cent are full bloods.
Oklahoma has more Indians than any
other state, 1895; Arizona is next. with
@, 2O1; the states next in order numer-
icaliy are South Dakota. California,
Washington, Montana and Wisconsin.
There are small bands of Indians in Della
ware. Vermont. New HAMPSHIRE and
West Virginia.
For many years the policy OF the gov
eminent has been to break up tribal rela-
tons and treat each Indian as an in-i-
yidual. and the efforts are apparently be-
coming successful. With increasing num-
beers the Indians must become more and
more members Of the civilization that
has made their old mode Of living impos-
sible.
