COUNTY'S POPULA-

COUNTY MAKES GAIN OF 577 CITIZENS DUR
ING PAST TEN YEARS; CITY OF MIL
BANK HAS GAINED 10 PER CENT
GRANT co CENSUS

GRANT co CENSUS. >. =. :. ....
According to the report of the de-
partment of Commerce, bureau Of
census, of Washington ID. c., Grant
cousty population IS lO,SeO people and
the city of Milbank has population
of 2,215. The growth of the city since
1910 is an even 200 or 10 per cent.
From 1900 to 1910 the growth was
more than 40 per cent. The popula-
tion in 1900 was ,426 and in 1910 was
2,Ol5. Many persons VINO predicts
that the population Of the city would
be more than $500 and nearer 1000
We're undoubtedly basing their belief
on the basis Of its growth during the
previous ten years, The growth of the
whole county has not been more than
SAT people. two Of the towns showing
a decrease, and many of the town
ships having fewer residents than
they did in 1910
While the growth is disappointing
TO many people their hopes are center
ed on the prospects for the coming ten
years. The future looks bright fcr
Grant county and Milbark and the in
crease Of population in 1880 will un-
doubtedlv show the substantial in
crease that it should. The county can
easily support ten times the number
Of people that it now has within its
borders and the drifting Of farmers
to the county is evidence that it will
be called upon to do so within few
years.
The city council at meeting some
time ago when the figures OF the city
census We're first known, took the mat,
ter up the general opinion Of the mem
bers being that complete census
had not been secured and that there
had been names enough omitted TO
have brought the record up to 2,400
at least. and recount would have
been asked for if suitable person
could have been secured to have made
u new count in the proper time.
Below is the report of the census
bureau.

converting the term insurance into

plainly that the veterans do not find
the policies especially attractive ut
the premium rates offered. They are
not sufficiently cheaper than private
companies offer, To arouse much inter

The mortality tables now show that
the rates can be cut 40 per cent or
more, before the insurance is brought

Whether japanese immigrants

gress shortly will be called upon to
determine.
EAGER ron SETTLEMENT.
Japan Is eager To settle the Cali
foInia land controversy on . basis OF
Japan understanding TO prevent fur
Their japanese migration to the
United States and America under
taking to safeguard the property
rights OF Japanese already in this
country.
The Wilson Administration appears
disposed to compose the differences win
Japan In line with this proposed com
promise. which has been the subject
OF negotiation by two governments for
several months. II President Wilson
and the JAPANESE government approve
the tentative plan worked out by
Roland Morris. American ambassador
to Japan, and Baron Shidehara,
Japanese ambassador to the United
States. the agreement will be en-
bodied In a new treaty.
1t is assumed that Japan will prefer
TO give a guarantee OF the exclusion
OF her nationals from the United
States in the form OF a new and more
stringent "gentlemen's agreement

Even II the Wilson Administration
should effect this settlement and sub
init a treaty embodying II to the
Senate this winter IL Is a foregone
conclusion that II would not be rati-

whole matter would be postponed
until after the Inauguration OF MI.
Harding. This is the prospect be-
cause OF intense opposition to the
plan of settlement proposed.

nese property holding rights re-
