U, S. P0PUU1TI0II ABOUT 90,000,000 Census Director Durand Makes Estimate Based on Tabulated Returns. eVSSSSSMSS MICHIGAN TOTALS TODAY

AOINAW, BAY CITY ANO LANSING IN THAT IT ATE ARE SHOWN TO HAVE MADE A VERY STEADY GROWTH. Washington, Aug. 27. Director Du rand of the census bureau estimates the population of the United States at about 90,000,000. This estimate Is based on the. returns so far tabulated and does not Include the Pnlllppines With the latter Included the ngures he says, will be close to loo.ooo.uou, The tabulation is expected to be An utuMl br November 15. "It Is only a' rough guess,1 said TMrrtor Durand. "but I believe the returns will show there Is a popula tlon of M.OOO.OOO In the country, not eauntlnc the Philippines. It may run up to il,OO0,O0O, but I doubt It. If the population of the Philippines be Included the figures will be- close to the iuo.ouq.uuu mara. "I expect the tabulation to be completed by November 15 and Immediate ly afterward we win oe ante 10 announce the population of the country, Oaln From Immigration 6,000,000. "The 'net gain from Immigration during the last ten years has not been M large as would be supposed. For example. Immigration from 1901 to 1907 Into the United States was only 8 219.000 in round numbers. Of this somber 1.927.000 returned to the countries from which they came, leav ing a total Increase In population rrom Immigration during those years or on ly 4.22,000. "The figures for the three years from 1907 to 1910, show 2.676.000 Immigrants came Into the United States and 790,875 of them returned. A larger proportionate Increase In total population from Immigration occurred In the last three years than In the nrevlous seven years. "Taking the ten years' net Increase it will be seen that approximately 6,000,000 persons have been added to the population of the country by im migration since the last census. Posl SlDiy DUU.UUU OI lutiae hits , uiiu u this time, v . -. . , Gam In Cities 20 Per Cent. .'"We have been surprised at the population of cities of 100,000 and more,, since the figures of many of these have been announced. The per rentage of Increase since the last census of these- cities is more than 20 per cent. Hli'l..ik.N tint th omimirv jtla. trlcts will show such a percentage of Increase we do not know yet. Some believe the rapid rate of Increase of the large cities is caused by popula tion drawn from the country districts and when the compilation of these districts Is completed they 'may show a much smaller increase than the clt lea for this reason.".. . The census tgurea on the state of Michigan as a whole and by counties were made today. - The computation baa been made .in advance In order tp meet a legal demand of - the state In connection with elections. While as a rule, owing to the activity of manufacturers, most , of the cities ahow a great increase, there will be a falling off in some of the counties, where there Is no manufacturing of consequence. The figures on New York will not be available at so early a date as was expected. The census bureau had ' boped to have its announcement regarding the national metropolis- by tonoght, but owing to some technicality the statement will be deferred until next Tuesday or Wednesday. The Chicago and Philadelphia figures will follow: . The population of '8aginaw, Mich., Is 50.510, an increase of 8,165. or 19.3 per cent as compared with 43,345 In 1900. The population of Bay City, .Mich, la 45,166. an Increase of 17.538, or 63.5 per cent ac compared with 27,628 in 1960.

Baron K. Oura, a Cabinet Min ister, Says American Business Amazes Him. HE STUDIES OUR METHOD (American News Service.) New York. Aug. 27 In all New York there is no more bewildered visitor than the Baron K. Oura, Japanese Minister of Agriculture and Finance. For several weeks he has been making a study of commercial conditions In Gotham and says that the expedition with which business is done on this side of the Atlantic amazes him. In the company of prominent bankers he has visited most of the large banks and mercantile institutions in the city. The speed with which the routine transactions of the day are disposed of he avers., would drive his Japanese fellow-countrynien insane if they attempted to emulate it There Is no need of th-s Americans being jealous of us commercially,, he said last night, commenting upon his observations. , "The Japanese merchant can never catch up with you. He Is not so clev er. I myself do not think, and. .any way, he is slow compared with you. For myself," and the Baron's head nod ded emphatically, "I do not care for so much speed. It is interesting to watch, as a child opens the back of the watch and enjoys J seeing the wheels spin around. But I should not care to be in it. It seems to me that working so, you miss much of the joy of life. . '- "What time or strength do you have left to delight in beauty?

NEW CANADIAN LINE Grand Trunk-Pacific Line Will, Next Week, Open Much New Territory. ENDS FIVE YEARS' LABOR American News Service.) Winnipeg. Man., Aug. 27 Next week the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway will celebrate the fifth anniversary of the beginning of Its construction by open ing the Government section between Winnipeg ad Superior Junction, 280 miles. The great project of a national railway was started In September, 1905, when Sir Wilfred Laurier turned the first sod at Fort v William. At about the same time the actual con struction was commenced on the prairie section west of Winnipeg. Since then thousands of men bave been at work, with the result that the great project, which means so much to west ern Canada, is rapidly nearing completion. The line from Winnipeg to Edmon ton was opened a year ago. The com pletion of the Superior Junction branch will allow the road to be operated from Fort William through to Edmonton, about 1,100 miles. This will enable the new transcontinental line to move this year's grain crop next month. The placing of Edmonton, which' la in the heart of the great wheat belt in direct communication with Fort Wil1 liam, the great grain outlet for west era Canada, marks another epock of western development and has deep sig nificance to both cities.' Edmonton appears destined to become the great railroad center of Alberta and will rap idly take its place among the great cities of the west It is probable 'the opening of the new line will be appro priately celebrated.
