OVER EIGHT MILLION PEOPLE
LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY

New York City had a population
of5,62l ,l5l on January 2, an in
crease of S5i.26S, or l7.9 per cent
over 1910, the census bureau has
Just announced. The rate of grow
IN was small er than ever before i'm
the city's history except in tho de-
cade ending in 1870 while the in
crease numerically was smaller
than in either of the two decades
preceding 1910 The latest csti-
mate of the population of the
city and county of London made
IN 1917 was l,026.90l, q decrease
from the official census of 1917
which showed a population of A.
The small increase in the grow
tn of the city Of New York dur
ing the past decade is attributed
10y census officials To be almost
war of immigration and to the
heavy emigration of foreign born
residents.
One hundred years ago New
York, in population, was some
thing like the present city of AL
bany, ~ Y. a little more than
100000. The city which has since
grown to be probobly the largest
in the world, did not pass the
100000 mark until 1880, when
the government census gave it a
population of l.206.500.
In 1900, with the annexation Of
Brooklyn and the incorporation
of the greater city into five bor-
oughs, the three million mark
was passed, the cXast figures be
ing 3,i37,2O2.
The upward stride was pro-
nounced after that with the A.
100000 mark being left behind in
less than five years. Before the
end Of the decade, 100000 was
in sight, the figure in 1910 being
i,76G.SS3, and by 1915 this had
grown to 5,0i7.22l.
In the population estimated in
1919 only one state in the United
States was larger than New York
City Pennsylvania, with an esti-
mated population Of S.936.09l.
The Dominion of Canada's 1910
population is but little more than
that of New York in 1920, while
only two South American coun-
tries, Brazil and Argentine have
as many people.
Outside of London, no other
city in the world is half so large
in population as New York,
which has nearly - people
Paris, Berlin and Vienna
combined.

AN EXHIBITION OF NERVE.

Interior Index: The dance and an
nual feed of the American Legion
Jackson County Post No. y was
held last Thursday at kadoka and
we can say that we sure had a
swell time. A business meeting
was held in the early part of the
evening and was attended by q
Of the members that were able to
get there and after the meeting
the rest of the night was put in
dancing, by the members of the
post and its Auxiliary. Only one
thing marred the evening and
that was the butting in of an
outsider-ont that was not in the
service and it must take a lot of
nerve to butt in where he is not
war .d and especially after being
told that he was not wanted.

WOMEN RULE OLD OUTLAW
TOWN IN WYOMING.

a woman mayor, Mrs. Grace Mil
Ter, now rules in Jackson, the pop
ulation center of the Jackson S
country which long was famous IN
fact and fiction as the resort of
outlaws, cattle rustlers, horse Thu
ewes and other bad men Of the
west that once was. For what is
said TO be the first time in history,
there is not a man in the city hall
OF an American municipality; for
a city administration composed
entirely of women has been sworn
into office as a result of the cleo
tion in May. There is not man
in Jackson's city hall.
Jackson is a diminutive city
with a population of not quite
300 Perhaps no other section of
the United States is so far isolat-
ed from the railroads and from all
year trafh. The nearest railway
station is 10 miles away, and from
November until May the highway
to the station is virtually impass-
able. Surrounded by the high
mountains in the range south of
Yellowstone National Park, the re-
sidents of Jackson make little or
no attempt to travel during the
winter months.
1t was in Jackson's Hole that the
bad men made their last stand
against the advancing wave of
civilization 80 or 40 years ago.
There they focked after stealing
cattle or horses or other robber-
les or hold-ups and banded them
selves together for mutual pro-
lection.
Today Jackson, itself, has surr-
cndered to the feminist movement
and made a clean sweep of every
male office holder. The only ex-
planation thus far given for the
overturn comes from the editor OF
the Courier, the city's sole news
paper who says in his paper: 1T
is thought the novelty of being
the first city on record to be gov
crned entirely by women helped
them 20 secure .uch complete
victory" The editor, who wa,
himself candidate, accepts the
results without repining but says
the women surprised even them
selves by the result.
Their was no unusual campaign
ing, gno special issue at stake nor
was there an unusually heavy vote.
Mrs. Miller defeated Fred LoveJoy
for mayor by vote of So to 2S.
Four women were elected mem
berS Of the city council over -four
men candidates by about the same
relative vote.

day when she suddenly became
worse and her condition critical.
Tuesday afternoon an operation
was performed in the hopes Of
prolonging the young life 50 badly
needed, but the spirit that had
made the battle through the
nineteen yeals of life was unable
to withstand the effects Of the
operation and before rcgaining
consciousness from the effects of
the anesthetic life passed from
its mortal housing OF clay. On
November Is, 1917 Mrs. Reed was
babtized and became a member OF
the Advent Christian Church at
Aurora, Illinois, and has always
lived an upright. christian life.

the knowledge that the life was
such that she now is in that
bright and happy home above,
where her sufferings are relieved
and where she awaits TO welcome
loved ones on high. Her broth
ers and sisters are sincerely sympa-
thizcd with in this b reak in the
family circle of children whose
home associations and surround
ingS tied them with bonds that
are hard to break, but likewise
they have the memory of her low
ing ways and cheerfulness to cheer
the dark moments when the break
in the family circle is known to
be possible of never being filled
again.
The writer has known the de
parted young wife and mother
from the days when first she came
to this community, we we'll rem
ember her as a little girl, with her
masses of curley hair falling about
her shoulders, and a sweet smile
always playing upon her lips, we
remember her as school girly,
the curls gone, but that same
sweet smile upon her face, and we
remember her as the young bride,
happy in the linking of her life
with the young man of which she
loved and cherished, and who to-
day is left with those happy days
as but memory, and in these
times of happy bride that same
sweet cheerful smile still shone
upon her face.
Ruth Reed was a womanly wo-
! man, and entitled to the love and
respect in which she was held by
everyone, and throughout her en-
tire life carried SUNNI dispos-
ition and look at that sweet
smile and happy face brought
cheer to many sinking heart, and
the place she leaves will ne'er be
filled and why she was taken
from her loved ones is something
that we will some day know, un-
fathomablc though it is TO us to-
day. In death, as well as in life
that same happy nature prevailed
and as she sank under the influ-
ence of the anesthetic for the op.
Grafton from which she never re-
covered, it was with a word OF
/ cheer to the loved ones gathered
~r- and the smile that came
upon he'd face as she sank down
into the shadows still plays upon
! the mortal clay lying cold in death
That the memory of her love
for them, her bravery in time OF
peril, and her happy disposition
and belief and knowledge in the
Great Good God Above, may these
memories bring to the bereaved
husband and little baby, the father
and mother, the sisters and broth
ers, and the other heartbroken
relatives and friends, a measure
of comfort that will help to still
their sorrowing hoar,g at ease the
hurt therein.

1t is also the first. three-cylinder
cross-compound unit in America.
Superheated steam at 205 pounds
pressure enters the high-pressure ele-

pressure elements in parallel, con-
densing at 29-inch vacuum. At full
load, the unit takes $4,000 pounds

which, in an emergency, can be used
independently, run at 1900 rpm,
driving Bicycle three phase gen.

WORK THAT REQUIRES NERVE
aHslisvtterr Must Take All Kinds Of
Chances IN His Quest Ct
the Big Fish.

One Of the most fearless fisher
men is the "halibutter," who often
fares up the north Pacific into the
shadow Of the arctic TO harvest old
banks OF search for new ones, says
Popular Mechanics. The life Of the
halibut fisherman is one Of chance
and hardness. No voyage is too long
and 10 passage too hazardous, al
though he travels in what many
might regard as toy ship.
The halibutters are a sturdy lot,
the captains usually members Of the
old seafaring school. The lure, the
''pot end Of the rainbow" holds the
halibutter to the sea. He cannot re-
sist the daily thrills and fascination
Of the game Of death.
The cruise may extend from three
weeks to three months. The boats
are worked by shares-oDe-third to
the boat, two-thirds to the crew Of
from SIX to eighteen. 1t is not un-
common To return with 10000 TO
$4,000 pounds Of halibut. This
brings from II to Is cents a poun

the boat about $4,000, and each
member Of the crew approximately
