000. Neatly 12,250,000 persons arc es
timated to be living In Island posses
sion, mnklng 117,050,000 pet sons under

Theso estimates nro based on a recent
official announcement tlint the census
when S5 ner cent comnlcte cave a nopu
latlon of 00,580,742 for that proportion
of the country.
The relative growth of the nation
from 1000 to 1010 was 21 per cent,
but this rate Is expected to be cut to
at least 15 per cent this year, chiefly,
census bureau officials say, through
Rtoppagc of immigration during the
war and by the heavy emigration
during that period.

the family. There has been no rival to Steinway
tone because no other instrument was ever made
under like conditions successive trained effort of
generation upon generation, each new organiza
