sEATTLE's GROWTH.

Seattle Post-InteIIigcncer: PopuIa<
ton estimates by. the United States,
census bureau credit Seattle with
34S,639 people and place this city 18th
in rank among the larger cities of the
country. Since the 1910 census, which,
passed both Kansas City and Jersey,
City and now stands just below Mn
neapoIis in relative rank.
The showing must be a matter OF
pride to every SeattIeite. The years,
since 1910 have not been boom sea-
sons for Seattle. In common with
the remainder OF the country It has
trade and finance, yet has progressed
in spite of unfavorabIe factors. The
stimulating effect OF the war boom OF
the past two years has been felt but
little on this coast. Such business an
IL has brought US 10 confined to the
new commerce with Vladivostok and
increased industry in shipbuilding.
Some thousands in population have
been added to this city from this lat
ter cause since July l, the date Of the
census departments. estimate. 30 that
at this time, our population Is prob
ably well over $4,000.
An interesting feature OF the bu-
reau's estimates is the relative growth
of the principal California cities. The
population of Los Angeles was esti-
mated at 5Os,s12 on July /, and the
population OF San Francisco at 49,
SIS. Oakland Is credited with 1e1.-
604 people. Southern California's
warmer climate is evidently drawing
the center OF population southwark,
and there is no reason to doubt that
the lead OF Los Angeles is to be main
tanned.
Seattle has averaged an annual
growth OF $4,000 each year since
1910. IL present industrial and COM
mercial expansion continues at the
same rate, we should average better
than $4,000 a year increase for the
next I'VE years. and by the end OF 1920
should have a population of 500.0o0.

Asaiss Are Fast,
The Aggies played a fast brand OF
basketball, but were unable to cope
with the speed of the Gophers. The
floor work Of the Minnesotans was a
great improvement over that OF the
previous games, and marked the play
of the university quint as of confer
ence caliber At the end Of the first
half the score was % to 8 in favor OF
Minnesota. During this period Gillen
found the basket for six counters.
Although he did not lead in the scor-
ing, Stadsvold was responsible to O.
large extent for the excellent showing
made by the Maroon and Gold team.
The star Gopher forward was In every
play, having the ball in his possession
oftener than any other player on the
floor. His work in taking the ball and
feeding 1t to Gillen and Kingsley had
much to do with the success of the
university quint around the nets.

Movold played well for the visiting
basketers, getting of the Is points
scored by the North Dakotans. The
visitors carried the ball down the floor
to their opponents basket by snappy
floor work but the close guarding of
Wyman and Douglass for the Gophers
made scoring difficult. Spectacular
basket shots were frequent, and the
work of the players on both sides
was vigorously applauded by the
