NEGROES SHIFT.
To INDUSTRIAL
SECTIONS
Striking Gains in Northern
States Shown by Figures
Issued by Census Officials

A striking picture of the shift
in the negro population of the
country, with a marked increase
in northern industrial 2enters
and little increase in the south,
was disclosed today in compila-
ton based on Census Bureau
figures.
From Farms to Cities
The cOIOred shift, 1t Is irdi-
Gated, has been largely from rural
to urban centers. Many indus
trial centers in the South. show
a marked gain in negro popula-
ton from 1920 to 1880, the chief
loss being in rural communities.
The migration apparently has
not been as pronounced as had
been predicted by many experts.
The South as a whole gained in
negro population from 1920 to
1880, although the gain was much
less than that of the white popu-
lation. Mississippi is now the
only State having more negroes
than whites.
Twelve Southern States, not in
Guiding Texas, show a gain in
white population from approx
mately 17,200,OO0 to 100000 in
1890. The negro population of the
same States rose from about
100000 to 7,950,000.
Gain Faster Than Whites
That the negro trek to the
North has been largely to cities
is shown in the first scattering
returns of the Census Bureau on
this phase of it's 1880 census
figures.
In Delaware, Maryland, Michi-
gan and Missouri the negro popu-
lation rose faster than did the
white. This also is true in such
industrial cities as Philadelphia
Akron, Cincinnati. indianapolis,
Flint, Mich; Detroit, Kansas City,
st. Louis and Baltimore.

The Treaty of 1855 Was to Establish Permanent Peace Among An
Indian Nations; Boundaries of Their Hunting Grounds Were Fully
Designated; Fort Laramie Treaty Provided for Peace With Whites

The territory o comprising the
Treasure state has been the home OF
many of the most powerful Indian
tribes in North America for many
wears. 1t has been the battle
ground for these tribes who fought
among themselves for supremacy
over priced hunting grounds, and in
later years the scene of warfare
against the white settlers and
frontiersmen. When the white set
tiers came into this territory they
were confronted with many hostile
Indians, who had learned previously
that 'the white man does not al
ways keep his word. Treaties were
made with these people and often
the whites were the first to break
these agreements. This week MIR.
