West Texas Gets
Biggest Share of
The Population

Texas center Of population IS
gradually drifting westward BY
1910. il the present rate Of Increase
continues, west Texas viii have %
percent Of the states population.
according to statistics brought to
FL Paso by J. e FarroW, assistant
organization manager OF the West
Texas chamber Of commerce By
west Texas is meant that part Of the
state west OF a line drawn q south
from about Fort Forth to the Rio
Grande or along the 9Sth meridian
This IS the division arbitrarily made
by the West Texas chamber OF COM
merce for its purposes
In 1850 there were 44,S56 persons IN
west Texas. In the same year there
were 559,s4g in east Texas. In other
words only 70 percent Of the states
population was in west Texas
In 1870 there were 52.622 inhabit-
ants in west Texas and 755, s57 inhab-
itants In east Texas This was a
slump for west Texas as IN 1870 only
6.5 percent OF the population was in
west Texas.
Jumps IN Percentage.
In 1850 the population OF west Texas
jumped to 225.s0S. The population Of
east Texas was 1,357.951. The popula-
ton in west Texas was 1873 percent Of
the total
In 1890 the population Of west Texas
was 402.741- The population Of east
Texas was LS32.786. West Texas had
us percent OF the population
II 1900 the figures were West
Texas, 555.40zs east Texas. 2,f923O8,
giving west Texas 1S-1 percent OF the
In 1910 west Texas had 117e So
people and east Texas had ~2,767,S8I.
West Texas had 2S-9 percent OF the
total.
In 1913, according to government
estimates. west Texas had l.So5aIS,
while east Texas had 2,7s5.S01 people,
giving west Texas $50 percent Of the
total
In 1880. according to government
estimates, west Texas viii have 2-SsS,-
Tf5 people. while east Texas will have
3~.o9z,774. giving west Texas 4S-5 per
cent Of the total In 1870. the gov

The population then, the estimate
says, will be $685. 34 for west Texas
and ~5.577.0s0 for east Texas
Im~miEratinE TO the West.
For ten years, reports OF the west
Texas chamber Of commerce show,
there has been virtually no imhigra-
ton in the east Texas district. The
increase in population Is due TO the
natural surplus OF births ove deaths.
On the other hand there has been a
steadily Increasing immigration to
west Texas which is destined to bring
more business TO FL Paso and more
interest in west Texas Industries.
