THURSDAY, OCT. 19) — } i | | lt appears the reciprocity orators who balanced the trade of eight | million Canadians against the trade of ninety-two million Americans were all wrong. Canada has rot yet attained eight millions. She has only got a good start off from the seven million mark. By the| time the complete returns are in her population will still be well below seven and a quarter millions. The population ten years ago was recorded at 5,371,315. makes an increase of one and. three quarters millions in ten years, This while a little less tha: was expected is an excellent showing. A.similar increase in the next ten years will place Canada very close to the-ten million mark. An analysis and comparison of the figures is very interesting. They show that the growth is almost uniformly greater the further Prince Edward Island alone has gone back. She had 103,259 in 1901. Today she has but 93,722. Nova Scotia has dore little better than hold her own. Ten years ago she had 459,674 pop- ulation. Today she has 461,847. Ontario and Quebec, the old rivals have had a curious parallelirg of growth. Quebec has increased by 351,799. Ontario has increz sed | by 336,955. The slight advantage Quebec shows makes a much better showing when looked at from the percentage of growth, for she had a smaller population to work on. Today Ontario has a population | of 2,519,002 and Quebec 2,000,697. Quebec’s growth which is more rapid than the growth of Ontario, has also been much less assisted This| an increase roughly of about one third. west one goes. by immigration. The greater increases are in the west. Manitoba with an increase } . ner aN : iD from 255,211 to 454,691 nearly doubles her population. British Columbia with an increase from 178,657 to 362,768 (without Yale- Cariboo) succeeds in more than doubling herself. Alberta and Sas- katchewan do even better, each of them practically multiplying their population by five within the ten year period. The exact figures] to date are: Alberta in 1901, 73,022; in 1911, 372,919. Saskatchewa1 1901 numbered 91,779. Today (without Regina and Battleford) she numbers 453,508. Most spectacular of all is the growth of the Western cities, Calgary and Edmonton have increased ten fold, while Regina beats all per- in centages by an increase from 2,249 to 30,210. Vancouver and Winnipeg have room for an argument as to which is entitled to the individual honors for the largest growth. Winnipeg has increased from 42,340 to 135,430, a gain of 73,090. Vancouver has increased from 27,010 to 100,333, a gain of 63,323. But if Vancouver is entitled to take in North and South Vancouver (and this is the way the population of London, England, is calculated) then her growth is 87,125. Prince Rupert's population is given at 4771. It may be remembered that the News some months ago predicted that the population would be found to be a little urder 5,000. Ore effect of the city census wi'l be to cut off three of the liquor licenses in the city, our Board of Licerse the limit Commissioners having already issued licenses to allowed for a city of 7,500. This liberality by our temperance Mayor may have been due to his desire to show thai he is not a bigoted teetotaler. Bui chis, of course, would not be considered a sufficient excuse for wilfully violating the license laws. Always the humana mind turns from the accomplishmen, of today to regard the hopes of tomorrow. .Ten years ago—five years ago— no man imagined that the shores of Kaien Island would ever bear . city. Today we have a city of 4,771 souls. What will we have when the census of 1921 is taken? } | | lit | Ht Mm Mm MT liil EATRE AT THE EMPRESS TH TO-NIGHT Tennessee’s Pardner a beautiful comedy-drama ~-WILL BE PRODUCED WITH SPECIAL SCENERY BY— The WILLIAMS STOCK Co.
