ALASKA CENSUS TOTALS
GIVEN OUT BY LOPP
The total population of Alaska will
not exceed 57,000 persons accoiding to
a statement issued by W. T. Lopp
Chief of the Alaska division of the
Federal Buraau of Education, and has
ed on unofficial estimates made by
himself. Of this total it is thought
that the final figures, which are ex
pected to be* compiled within the next
week, will show between 30,000 and
35,000 whites, the rest being natives
At the time of the above state
ment, Mr. Lopp announced figures
for several Interior towns as fol
lows; Fairbanks 1,158; Nenana 820;
Tanana 212; Fort Yukon 319; Nulato
25h. The figures for Fairbanks show
a startling loss in population from
that of 1910 at which time the cen
sus showed 3,541. It, however,
compares favorably with conserva
tive estimates of Fairbanks peoph
who have claimed about 1,200 resi
dents. Nenana’s population of 820
was drawn to a large extent fron
Fairbanks, former residents of the
latter town being employed by the
Alaskan Engineering Commission
and now living at Nenana. This is
an entirely new town and not shown
on the 1910 census, being developed
by the construction of the , Govern
ment railroad.
Tanana, situated at the confluence
of the Yukon and Tanana livers
also lost slightly in population, its
count in 1910 being 398. Fort
Yukon for the decade shows a loss
of but two residents, its 1910 census
total being 321. Nulato, which is
largely an Indian village, site for
one of the most powerful army radio
stations in the Territory, shows a
gain of 28 inhabitants for the same
period, its 1910 count being 230.
Returns from a number of points
on the Arctic Coast and Kotzebue
Sound are yet to be received and
when these are in Mr. Lopp can make
up an official estimate of the Terri
tory’s population.
The total population shown by
the unofficial estimates is smaller j
by about 11 per cent than the cen-1
sus returns for 1910 when it was esti
mated that Alaska had 64,366 inhabi-1
tants. A large part of this loss can
be accounted for by thte depression in
Interior and Far Northern gold min
ing camps, many of whose citizens
have departed for the States during
the past four years.
Charles Eimswciler and wife left on
the Alameda for the states, Mrs.
Eimsweiler probably going to Ger
many to return with her father.
Mrs. Frank Towle left on the Al
ameda for a visit in the states.
ROME, Sept., 11— A Volcano crat

RECEPTION TO TEACHERS
Following the announcement pub
lished in yesterday’s Gateway, citizens
of Seward gathered at the Methodist
church last evening to publically re
cognize the importance of the work
that the Seward schools are doing for
the community, and also to enjoy the
privilege of meeting the new members
of the teaching force and greeting the
old teachers whose acquaintance they
had pleasantly made during the past
year.
The interesting program previously
prepared and announced, was given in
full. After the rendition of the pro
gram and when the patrons of the
schools had met the teachers and giv-,
en them cordial greetings, the ladies
of the church and community served
refreshments and a very enjoyable so
cial hour was spent. j
