(iov. Thomas Riggs Jr., estimates
the white population of Alaska ,*t
,*52,000. His annual report, recently
made public, discussing the population
of Alaska say: —
“During HMS the population of
Alaska reached its lowest ebb. Ves
sels reporting to the customs showed
m excess of departures over arrivals
«>f 9,909 persons. Small vessels a**.

and Hritish Columbia of whom ther*

the armistice immigration became
noticeable. In the spring of :hn

the close of tlie calendar year 1918,
taKing the customhouse figures in
consideration with the census of 1910
and the vita* statistics available, the
white population barely exceeded 30.
000. I believe that during the years
of exodus (1918-1919) fully 10.000
additional people left on small cr.ift
Government ships, tra" snorts. and
other population probably did not
exceed 20,000. The number of per
sons voting at the election or HUi
seems to bear out this hypothec **.
For the first six months of It 9 t’ie
excess of arrivals over departin'* *
las reported to the customs, was 11.

number of cannery employees. pc-’

22! natives of pure ana mixed bk» !
The Iturcnu of Education cstim> s
that there had been little < hantr n

there has probably been a loss • f
