FIGURES FROM CENSUS BUREAU. Is it not about time for tho census bureau to inform us as tc the exact population of Ogdcn. Hero it is three months since the returns were in and no Utah city has been tagged with its population number. A writer, commenting on the figures already given out, observes that Detroit's gain in population since 1000 is the largest so far reported for any of the cities of its rank. The increase was 180,062, bringing the total up from 285,704 to 465.7C6. The percentage of gain was 63. In the preceding decade tho percentage was only 38.7. Tho remarkable advance made by Detroit will carry it ahead of several sev-eral rivals slightly outranking it in 1900. It stood thirteenth in the rating ten years ago. It will now pass New Orleans, Cincinnati and San Francisco and mayi overtake Buffalo. The figures for Cincinnati have already been made public. Its population in 1910 is 364,463. New Orleans had 287,104 in 1900 and probably has about 350,000 now. San Francisco had 342,902 in 1900 and probably has now about 425,000. Buffalo, which had 352,-387 352,-387 in 1900, will have to gain 113,000 to keep even with Detroit. It gained 03,000 between 1890 and 1900, and ought to have gained about 125,000 in the last decade. But apparently it is not pushing ahead as fast as cither of its lake neighbors and rivals, Cleveland and Detroit. Milwaukee, which was only 389 behind tho latter in 1900, has now been hopelessly distanced. Its population increased in the ten years to 373,857, leaving it 91,909 behind.
