THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. AUGUST 26, !'877—-SIXTEEN PAGES. & .y “HARD PAN.” Great Increase of Population in the West as Compared with the East. New England Increases Ouly 11 Per Cent, While the West Goes Up from 35 to 300 Per Ceat, The Population in the “Trade Area” of Chicago Mas Increased Nearly 3,000,- 000 Since the Panic. ® Twelve Western States and Territories, ‘Which Had 7,000,000 in 1870, Now Have 11,000,000. The Same States Will Probably Have 14,000,000 Pcople in 1885. How These Things Are Affecting Chi- cago Trade and Real Estate Interests. In our two preceding Bunday morning artictes under this general head, we have endeavored to show approximately, first, tho great increase of wealth in the West and Northwest this year by reason of the abundant crops; second, the cer- taintyof the dirersion of alarge part,of the lum- Jber trade of the Mississiopi River to Chicago 1his year by reason of the drouthin the Upper Mississippi pineries last spring; third, the great ‘and steady inrease from year to year of the cx- tent and variety of the manufacturing interests of Chicago; fourth, the greatly extended area of the trade of Chicago as compared with three or four years ago; fitth, THB CITY'S CONSTANT PROGRESS of improvements, the buildiog of houses and extension of street raflways, ctc., cte., which is unguestionably greater in Chicago now than in slmost any other city in the world, exqept Lon- don. And now, lastly, we give some statistics to indicate the main cause of all this present— and expected future—increase of wealth and trade, viz: the greater increase of pppulation hercin the West, Northwest, and Southwest than anywhere else in the world: INCRRASE OP POPULATION IN THE WEST AS COMPARED WITI THE EAST. J The six New England States—Maine, New ‘Rampshire, Vermont, Massachusctts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut—hsd sn aggregate population in 160 of 3,135,323, and fu 1570 an agererate of 3,457,924, showing an increase of | 852631 for the deeade, or anm average Snercase of a little over 1l per ceot. Tws average incrcase, however, was very uncvenly distributed. Tn Maine and New Hompshire there was a decrease of ‘mearly 20,000 i the total population, and nearly the Wwhole increase of 352,601 in the totat population of New England in the decade from 1860 to 1570 was in Massachusetts and Connecticui. Tn the four States of New York, New Jerscy, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, there was a total Population in 1560 of 7,571,201, which had fo- creased to 8,935,221 fo_1510, thus showing an * gverage increase of 8 little over 15 per cent for the decade. In the three States of Ohio, Indiana, and Michizap, there was an aggregute population fn 1550 of 4,433,082, which had fncreased fn 1870 to 5,527,055, thus showing an increase of 1,000,000, _or about 24 per cent for th deeade. Iathis three States ILLINOIG, 10WA, AND WISCONSIN; there was au aggregate population in 1560 of 8,162,745, which had increased by 1870 to 5,888, 81, thus showing a total increase of 1,635,636, or nearly 34 per cent for the decade. To Minnesota, Nebraska, snd Kansas there was a total population in 1850 of 305,070, which had increased by 1570 to 927,111, thus showing 2 grain of 619,041, or a little over 200 per cent. In Colorado, New Mexico, and" Texas there +was in 1800 & total populaticn of 732,000, which Ied Increased by 1870 to 031,422, a gain of 218, 472, or about 30 per cent. I Dakots, Wyoming, and Montana Territo- ries there was an aggregate population in 1860 of 4,537, which had fucreased by 1870 0 43,094, or about 975 per cent. . Thus we sce that the farther West we go the greater wasthie increase of population. IX THE NEW ESGLAND STATES the increase was less than the natnral increase of a stationsry population, becanse a Jarge part was contioually drawn off to the West. Tae recently-published statistics of the State of Naseachusetts, giving fts population at 1,651,912 for the year 1575 shows that the total popula- tion of that Stateidoubles in twenty-one years, and this is probably s longer period than is ye- quired for the doubling of the population of any Western States without the aid of immigration.” Almost angwhere in the West life ison an easier seale for the laboring man than in any part of Massachusctts; comsequently there i 2 greater per cent of marriages, and the conscquent, greater increase of population. Even without any immigration from the East- ern States or from forcign countries, it right reasonably be cxpected that the population of all the States west of Chicago would double in the next eighteen years. The ficures we haye riven sbove as the in- crease of population fn the Western States are nearly all from the Gnitod § tates census of 1570, which was in fact pascd upon the popula- tionat the close of 1869, But the increase in the far Western States and Territorics did not * begin to be important at that time. THE WESTWARD *STAR OF EMPIRE’ ‘had risenon these ucarer Statesof 1linois,Towa, ‘Wisconsin, and Minncsots, but bad not come futo the borizon of Nebraska, Colorado, and Texas yet, as it bas fow, and the greatest in- crease in those States has been sinccethe ninth censns was compiled. Thus Colorado, which in 1570 bad only a travsient popalation of 39,550, hasnow a permanent ope of nearly 150,000, Nebraska, which had only 25,81 in 1500 and 122,996 in 1570, now bas an (cstimated) popu- Jation of 300,000. In Texas the great tide of immigration from the Northern States did not begin until within the past six years. This State, which in 1660 hiad only 604,215 inhabit- ants, and in 1570 only 515,599, and was then only the nincteenthin point of population 85 com- pared with the other States of the Union, now claims to be the fifth or sixth, and to have a pop~ ulation largely over 2,000,000 : THE IAMIGRATION INTO TEXAS last year was cstimated ab 200,000. The trelve most northerly conuties along the Yine of the M., K. «& T. Railroad, viz.: Grayson, Collin, Dallas, Ellis, Navarro, Limestone, Freestone, McLennan, Brazos, Grimes, Washington, and Robertson, which had an aggrezate population of 143,751 according to the United States census of 1670, now have a total population of 252,000 Kansas, which had a population of only 364,399 by the census of 1570, was found to hare 610,863 by the State census of 1573, thus nearly doubling its population fn three years. Without any trustworthy statistics on the subject, it is at Jeast safe to assume that the popnlation of Konsas Is over 1,000,000 at the present time. 1tis 2 fact, worth bearing fu_mind that, dur- o the time that people have been talking shout the panic of 1573, and the depression of trade and {ndustry which followed i, the poo- ulation in the States and Territories west qod northwest of Clicago, and tributary to it as o trade centre, has increased au least 5,000,000, and probably 3,000,000 The aggrezate popula- tion of Mlinais, lows, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebrasks, Ksnsas, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Dakota, Wyoming, and Montans, which in 1870 was only 7,000,000, has now increased to Dear 11,000,000 . LAIGE 4S THESE FIGURES MAY SEEX to those who have not thought about the mat- ter, it can be shown that this estimate of jn- creasc is very reasonable. Referring agafn to the claborately compiled census of Massachu- setts for 1675, we find the population of that year stated at 1,651,912 against 1,267,031 in 1865. Upon the basi of thiese two amounts, the Com- missioners make an estimate- of the probable popalation of the State for each of the years of the next decade to1885, {n which Iatter year Pser estimate that the population will be 2,153, 597, thus showing the period of doubling the population—at the present rate of increase— to be about twenty-one years. The next ques- tion, however, would be as to what extent emigration from or immigration into the State had affected these fgares. The only means of approximating to the extent of these move- meuts Is to be found in the United States cen- sus for 1570, which gives the number of persons living In other States who are natives of Massa- chusetts, and the number of persons living in Massachusetts who are natives of other States. These fizmures are given for both 1860 nod 1870, and are as foliows: Persons in Massachusetts 1n 1860 born in otber States, 163,637; in 1870 the number had increased to 200,107, Persons v~ Ing in other States in 160 who were born in Massachusetts, 242,736; In 1870 these had fn- creascd to 43,880, It will be scen by these figures that. in the decade from 1560 to 1570 the net gain of Massachusetis by inter-state emi- £ration was only 35,470, a number too small to be of much importance in connection with THE GENEEAL INCREASE OF TUE POPULATION, and making it very plain that the natural in- creasc of the population by the excess of births over deaths in Massachusetts woula domble the population in ahout twenty-one years, or au in- crease of about 33 per cent per sunnm each year on the hopulation of the preveding year. 1£ 3¢ per cent per annum is about. the rate of patural increase of a population under the con- ditions of that of Massachusetts, It Is snfc to assume at least 4% per ceut as the natural annual inerease of 4 popufatiou under such con- ditions of life as thos: of Ilimois, lawa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and other Western States and Territorics under consideration in this ar- ticle. If,¢hercfore, we take the 7,000,000 shown by the United States census of 1670 to have been in the group of Western States and Term- tories mentioned above, and add an annusl in- crease of, tav, 43§ per cent per annum each year on the nnmber of the preceding year, and should also estimate that the incresse of poputation fn all thesc Western States and Territories was as great by immizration as by the natural increase, we should have the following results, viz.: AVERAGE INCREASE OF POPULATION IN TWELVE WESTERN STATES AND TERRITORIES. Natural 13,308, 14,000,100 The sbove figares for 1577, it is true, show an ncrease of only about 8,000,000 in the aggrezate population of the twelve States and Territories, which is probably considerableless than thetrue increase, but it must be remembered that the 1able is made upon an arbitrary rule of averaze progression for the fourteen years, and that while it may not be correct for this year, be- cause it makes no atlowance for the great emi- gration to Texas and Kansos, at the present will be only too happy to provide more for them on the shortest notice. © %+ THE LOAN MAREET: The only remarkable Ieature in this line the past weck was the promptitude with which bor- rowers came up to the Captain's office and scttled. These psyments did not represent the ehifting of loans to other parties on better - terms, but were bona fide clearing away of ‘in- cumbrances. ‘There bave been very few re- newals. and .very lfew mew lomns. The rates for money remsin st tbe old fig- wre. A féw loans arc oceasionpily madeat 6 per cent, but they are exceptional, and have certain conditions annexed, which reo- der them no criterion of the general state of the market. Notwithstanding the genera? dullness, there Is & better feeling alf around. The whole- sale tradels showing signs of improvement. There are heavy crops to be sent to markel, with every prospect of a good demand.

Thero has been no jmprovement in the de- mand for either city or suburban property the past wesk. The following tronsactions afford some indication of the figure at which property is changing bands: William S. Robertéon sold to H. Templeton 210 acres in the Town of Bloom nnd six lots in Jiyde Park, sonth of Eightv-third street, m Whitiord's Subdivision, for 322,800, James Parrott sold to Edward Koch 72x123 feet, southwest corner of Sedewick and Centre strects, together with buildings, for 333,000, ‘Bonore street, between Madison and onroe, cast fropt, 24x125 feet, with building, sold for ,000.

Eleven lots In Brown’s Addition to LaGrange were eold at $100 each. time it fs probably nearly correct for the whole period of fourteen years. The Gearing of the above facts on the TRADE AND REAL-ESTATE INTERESTS OF CI- cagn P must be obvions. With so Jarze an fncrease of population there must be a carresponding fn- cresse of trade sud monufacturing industry in Chicago. In our two previous articles under this head we have shown that this increase of trade aud manufacturing has been in propress for the st four or five years, in spite of the revailing talk about hard timgs, anditisin this increase of ponulation in the Northwest and Southwest that we flod the basis for it, and also the grounds for the belief that it wiil continye. The ' purpose of the statistics of crops for 1577, manufacturing and clty improvement in Clicago, population in the West, etc., was to show that there wes not sufficient reason for the fear that Chicago real estate would continue depressed for several years yet, as o2 persous are continually argwing. The great growth of population in the Weat would sooner or later caase a great in- erease of trade in Chicago anyhow, but the im- mediate cause of the first movement in that di- rection will be the sale of the abuudant crops raised this year and marketed this fall and win- ter. It is true, as meantioned in our article of Suoday, the 12th inst., THERE ARE SOMK SEPTEMEER CLOUDS {n the financial horizon: the volume of the cur- rency has been greatly diminished in the last year, and yet the amount required for market- T, the Western erops will need to be from 20 ta 25 per cent greater than cver before. The savings banks intercsts arc yet in the same un- eatisfactory condition 1s Was made evident by the runs oo the -baks a month or six weeks ago. [Either or both of these features of the eituation may develop aufavorably any day, but even if they should, the evll effects would prove only temporary; the more {mpaortant facss we have pointed out in this and our two preceding articles will bring prosperity to the-Northwost, aud to Chicago, potwithstanding the continuance of bard times clsewherc, and In spite of avy piuch for curren- <y or any local financial troubles. Chicago trade and Chicagu real-estate Lave reached the * bard pan,” a firm basis of increasing wealth and pop- ulation, which will increase trade very greatly this fall, and give a greater value to real cstate in this city before the end of 1877 DEALERS REFORT a sensible increasc in the inquiry for moderate- priced real estate, say tiat which ranges from £500 10 $5,000. The parties asking prices want 25 2 more general rule that which costs about $1,500 to $2,000. Not many sales are reported, but a decidedly better fecling is ‘manifested on all sides.

Two Spans of the Great Union Pacific Structure at Omaha Thrown Down. - Many Covjectures as to the Cause of the Disas« ter. 4 The Popular T}':eory Is that It ‘Was the Work of a Whirlwind. While Some Peraons Contend that the Wreck Was Caused by Lightning. History of the Bridge—Its Original Jost Over Two Milliong of Dollars, Spectal Dispaich & The Tridune. Omama, Neb., Aug. 25.~Uuring the storm this morning, short1y before daylight, two spans on the east cud of the Union Pacific bridee went down with s Joud crash, and, when the accident became generally reported around the cily, be- - tween 7 and 8 o'clock, the peaple could hardly Dbelieve it until they bad gone and viewed the ruin. The spau that bod rested on the lowa approach lay on the embankment on the south ¢ide like a rail feuce that had blown flat over. The other span liad fallen fu the river and could not be scen. The two columns that had sup- ported the spans still stand firm gnd uninjured. The spans are not connected where they rest on the columns, so that if they fall, as they did in this case, they can . EACH GO DOWN SEPABATELY. The rafls op the bridge arc fastened togethér very firmly, nad'when the wside span weat it ook with it the south ling of rail withont snap- plng it, but twisting it downward so that ene end Js In the water. The north rails were twisted fnto a semi-circle, sud were separated at the coupling. The casing around one of the columns supporting the third span is broken in two places, probably by the falling of the iron- wark against it. The storm spranz up sbons 3 o'clock, wind, rain, and bail coming down from the wmorth- west In great violence, accompanied by terrific thunder and lightning. At sbout half- past 3o'clock the accident ocearred. A ma- jority of the neople seem to be of opinion that the cyclone or whirlwind came swecping down aloug the river, and struck the bridee with full force, lifting the two spans from the columns and letting them fall as above described. Itis a fact that at about this particular time TIE WIND VERY SUDDENLY CHANGED from the northwest to the northeast, thus blow- ing fo a southwesterly direction, snd it was very likely this change that ereated the cyclone: The twisted appearauce of the iromwork of the span that lies on the bank cupports the theory of @ whirlwind, or cven waterspout. John Arnold says bewasup ac this hour, and saw an immense cloud passing down the river lifting up the water in vast quantities in its ¢ ourse, and whirl- ing it arouna in a funnel shape. Another theory is that the bridge was strack by hightning, but we have interviewed o well- posted electrician, and he says that this would be CONTBARY TO ALL LAWS OF ELECTRICITY. The twenty-two columns of iron havinz thelr base in the water, and resting on bed rock, are the best conductors of electricity in the world. The night-watchman, John Peerson, who was in his little guard-homse at the cast end of the bridge, weot down in his house with the span that rested on the Iowa side, and had a very narrow cscape from losing his life. He became penned under the ruin, and received it DOYEIS €U Tu e af Wis lage. whiln his do bad ove of his legs entirely cut off. Plerson REMAINED A PBISONER forhalf an hour, when he succeeded in frecing himeell from the situation. Although the storm was still reging, he immediately secured o boat and started from the Nebraska side in order to give information of the accident before anytrains should start over the bridge. Hobada rough passageover the majn channel,butsucceed- ¢ In getting acrossaftera hard struagle against {hewind. Hetheahurried onfoot across the sand- bar, and swam across the second chaunel, and, climbing up the high bank, hurried to the train- Gispatcher’s oflice at the Unlon Pacific Depot, and informed the dispatcher of what had oc- curred. He reached the oflice only 8 short time, vefore the 5:10 a. m. traln was Lo have crossed the bridee. - However, bad the train started be- fore he had got there, no accident would bave oceurred, as trains run very slowly, not faster than a brisk walk, seross the bridge, and A BHARP LOOROUT IS KEFT by the enginecrs, 60 that the chasm would have been ouseryed in time to stop the train. Pierson hiolds that the bridge was struck by lightuing. He says he saw it when it went down, and that it was o perfect sheet of flame;; but it is very likely that he was so confused that be really aidn't kiow what caused the ac- cideat. It is said, howeyer, that at this partic- ular moment there Was & . - TERRIFIC STROKE OF LIGHTNING and heavy thunder. - ‘An employe a the Union Pacific Depot was up at the time, and coufirms Piersou’s state- ment, and says that he heard o loud erash, but had no idea that it was the bridge. So it will be seen that there is a diffcrence of opinion. Telegraphic communication was entircly cut off with the East;ns all the wircs which ran along the toy of the bridge were broken for a short time. Early this moming communication was had with the East by way of Cheyeonc, Denver, and Kansas City, but when the storm struck Kansas City, soon after the bridge was blown down, this circuit also was cub off. It will be several days beforc more than very limited telegraph service can be obtained by way of the Union Pacific bridge. “This catastrophe will prove A SERIOUS DETRIMENT TO BUSINESS uot only in Omaha, but throughout the entire trans-Missouri country. There will be a tew- porary freight blockade until arranzements can be made to transfer freight at the Plattsmouth and Blair ierres. Passengers will be transferred at the same points. About 2 dozen canges have been Lronght into service st _the break to trans~ fer employes of the road back and - forth. A rope ferry is beiog arranged by which canoes can he hauled from one side to the other. It is dn- fortunate that there is 1o steamboat running diere, as it would BE OF CONSIDEBABLE SERVICE at the present time. ‘General-Superintendent Clark orrived this morning from the East, coming into Omsha by way of Plagtsmouth. Mr. Clack Jlmmded at ouce ta the Union Pacific depot, and spent some considerable time in_getung telegrapblc com- munication witl the East. He thep telegraphed to the various bridge companics in regard to the cost aud time required for putting in a wooden truss, aud also iron spans. Soit will be seen that the work of securing connection with the other side i3 to be pushed ahead as fast as pussible. Itis acurious fact thav the Company have had serious fears for the eafety of the cast end of the bridee ever since the Tiver made the cut-off, and 2 ip-rap on the west side was begun, as the indications were that the channel would sweep Up against the lowa ap- roach and wash it out; and now the east end Fs gone after all, but from an entirely different cause. OF course the structure will BE DEBUILT A3 SOON AS POSSIBLE. The time reguired for this Work will be at Jeast three months, and probably longer. b measurement of the first span_on the west end, wrres?undinz to the oue ou the other end, was taken this morning so as to got 1o Sork on the job immediately. ~The river at_the ight fet deep As Tast end of the bridge was thirty-ei two weeks ago when sounding was made. ‘ot everyrhing regarding the bridgeand transfer Eusineifi is in rather a confused condition. THE BRIDGE e {s safd to have cost somcthing over 1t {8 3,750 feet long, divided In'g cleven spans of 250 fert each. TWO_spans, therefore, represent two-cclevenm ot the mfigc.md the propor- tiohate cost of these two spans . elevenths of the whole, or sh:s,m“:u:t«m cost of rebullding them wmay be more then this, although tho expense of the two columns that arg standing all right will be sased. e loss Wil not stop at the o e o pat the bridgealone.

The Boomer Bridge Company, of Chicazo, an the 4th of September, 1335, sceured the contracs {or building the bridge, for $1,039,500, the time of its completion to be Nov.10, 1868. ~ They were greatly delayed, and did not et the first cylinder ready for stuking until Mareh, 1869. in fuls following, the Union Pacille took bold of the wark, the contract having been_annulled with the Boomes Bridge Comoan.

THE NEZ PERCES. 5 S4ALT LARE City, Utal, Aug. 25.—The fol- lowing is the statement of Capt. Bralabridge, commanding Fort Hall: * Lest this post at 2 p. m. on the 19th inst. for Gen. Howard's com- mand, with an _escort of ten soldiers and fifty Baunack and Shoshone scouts, authorjzed by Gen. Sheridan. Reacheg Gen. Howard’s ab 1a. “m. on the 22d inst., having marched 150 wmiles. Howard was directly on thehostile trail, one day’s. march in the rear. 1 marched with him one day and left him fifteen miles south of Henry's Lake, which place he intended to reach the same day. The hostifes are badly demoralized. There are fivt to exceed 200 fighting men of them. Found the freighters and ranchmen ‘along the Montana stage rosd in a very demor- alizad condition. Freighters, who were on the road between the Sand Holes and Pleasant Val- ley at the time the hostiles struck it had left their wagons where they Lappened to be, in most instances loaded with valusble freight, and taken their stock to a place of safety. In one fustance they found two wagons, ong loaded with’ metallic cartridges and the other with powder, but the hostiles had not disturbed them. As s00n a5 they.had passed over the road, the freighters commonced moving again. It Is be- lieved the hostiles bad disturbed no freight on the rond. Howard was pleased to get the In- dian scoats. . He thinks they will do him good service. Howard and command are having a severe campuign, but all are fn good spirits, ‘hoping to finish the hostiles in a short time.” Special Dispaich $o The Tribtine. WasnNGTON, D. C., Aug. 25.—The dispatches to the Government indicate that there is 1o ap- proension of u general hostile combination of ndians seainst the whites . in the Northwest, The antagonisi between the wild tribes is such as to_provent this, were an_effort made. The Sioux especfally are feared and hated by all the other tribes. The latest information as to the direction which- Qplef Joseplh and his band are taking is that that they are heading for the Buflalo Range near the Crow Reservation. There {s no intention of relieviug Gen. Howard from command. The Secretary of War thinks that he is doing the best that can be done with his handfut of troops, and with almost insur- ‘mountable difficulties to overcome. A BRUSH WITH TOE REDSKINS.
