POPULATION INCREASES.
Census Bureau Finds Annual Growth
IL 1,OOO,OOO.

Estimates made by the census bureau
experts indicate that the population of
continental United States is growing at
an average rate of over 10000 year
According to their figures the popula-
ton on July last was 3lS. and on
January | last l0l .20S,3lj They now est
mate that the population on July J will
be lO2. OF ,3c2 or gain of 1.6l7,9A for the
II months. For the curious in those mat
tiers the bureau furnishes calculations in
dicating that the population of the coun-
try is increasing at the rate of i,iS5 per-
sons a day, 1S4 an hour and l-l5 a minute.
1t is proper TO say that the census bureau
estimates are based upon the rate of in
crease between the censuses of 1900 and
1910
AS a matter of contemporaneous human
interest. it may be noted that in calcu-
lating figures of per capita circulation
the treasury experts use somewhat larger
estimates of population, their figure for
January | last being 1915 600, or In round
numbers 36S. 600 in excess of that gwen by
the census experts for that date.
According to the census bureau the
Western States have led in the rate OF
growth, Washington heading the list. with
| Oklahoma. Nevada, North Dakota and New
| Mexico following in the order named. II
| Is worth while to notice that there is a
considerable variance between the figures
given by the census bureau exports for
the population of New York state and
that arrived at by the State enumerators
last year Tho population of the state
| as figured by the latter, as of the dat,
| of June l. 1915, was 9,692 25i. The nationa
census officials estimate that the popula
ton Of the state on July !, Just one month
later, was 10,0SO56S. There is here a diff
ference Of over $4,000. and that on the
basis of a calculation allowing an increase
of $4,000 a year. 1t may be noted thai
the police ccnsus In New York city show
ed q considerably greater number thar
| that revealed by the State census.
