January 1, 1920. With the one excep
tion of the decade, 1890 to 1900 when
the rate of increase was only three
tenths of one per cent, the decade

any ten-year period since the i-tate

average of 17.9 inhabitants to the
square mile, as compared with 10.9
in 1920.
The first census of the territory of
Neb?.: fca, in I860, showed a popula
tion 28 841. The growth of this
ai on as a tci ritory and state was
very rapid during the next 30 years,
until in 1 -» the j-ipulalion wa
found to have passed the million
mark. The next ten-year period was
one of practically stationary popula
tion, but. since 1900 each census has
shown a slow but definite population
increase.
There are 93 counties in the state, j
of which 50 increased in population

which includes the city of Omaha.
This county also has the greatest .
number of inhabitants per square ■
mile. The ; econd county in the state

population per square mile, is Lan
caster, which includes the city of
Lincoln. The most rapidly growing
county in Nebraska is Perkins, which
has increased in population from
3,907 to 5,834, equivalent to 47.1 per
cent, in the past 10 \ irs. Box Butte
county is second in this respect, with
an increase of 41.1 per cent. Other
counties showing an increase of more
than 25 per cent are Scotts Bluff, Lo
gan and Keith. All of these rapidly
growing counties are in the western
part of the state.
There are 8 cities in Nebraska
which had a population of 10,000 or
more in 1930. The largest of these
is Omaha, with a population of 214,
006, which represents an increase of
22.105, or 11.7 per cent, since Lin
coln, the capitol, ranks second in
number of inhabitants, with a pop
ulation of 76,933, which represents an
increase of 20,985, or 38.2 per cent.
The remaining cities in this group, in
the order of their population are
Grand Island, Hastings, North Plat
te, Fremont, Norfolk and Beatrice.
The three last named cities first ob

C. TO ( HIGHWAY
The advertising agent of the Can
ada to Canal Highway Association ;
was in O'Neill Tuesday night. Mr.
Light was on his wray to Mexico to
arrange for entertainment for »an
automobile caravan some time the
first part of January, to Mexico City.'
Anyone who is arranging for a mid- '■
winU trip should bear tl caravan
in mind and proceed with it.
The organization of all of the
states is now complete, according to
Mr. Light, and strip maps may be
procured of the highw’ay by address
ing the association at Ipswich. S. D.
He tvas very p’easod with progress
in southern Holt and in Wheeler:
eou* ties, and it is his information |
that if weather permits that the clay;
grade south of the oil project will be i
graveled this winter.
It <v- ' o hi. information that1
one number, number 13 would soon j
he placed on the official road maps,
all the way across Nebraska to indi- !
|cate the location of the C. to C. high
way. This is a demonstration of the
decided advantage we are having due
[entirely to the advertising of the C.
to C. This highway would probably
never be designated if the state did
not lie in the path of the C. to C.
O'Neill is very fortunate to be on
this highway. The city will notonlv
benefit from the transcontinental
traffic, but the people in south Holt
