Total Population Expected to Number About Eight Millions. Ottawa, May 28.— Canada's filet census returns, showing a population of 1,800 for over one hundred thou. sand equate miles of territory, has been received at the Census Bureau. The return covers the four -hundred - mile stretch of territory along the' west coast of Hudson Bay, north from Fort Churchill to Chesterfield Inlet, and inland as far as the trappers and Esquiniaux of that district, penetrate. The figures were gathered during the past winter by the Northwest Mount- ed Police patrol at Churchill. Of the total population of this great area only about two hundred are whites, the balance being Esquimau; with a few Indians. Ten_ years hence, with the advent of the Hudson Bay Railway, whieh will be under construction by the Government in a few mantis, and. with the development of Hudeoza, .Bay as the new route for trade 'between Europe 'and western Canada the next census will probably Canada, more thousands than there are now hun- dreds. But at present, with the ex- ception of the Arctic and Antarctic regions, the district is one of the most sparsely populated in the world, This is the first time an attextipt has been made to secure anything like an aecurate estimate of the population, previous estimates 'being based. mere - on. nureliable reports of mission - arms, trappers and other casual ex- plorers of the northern wilds. In the presenb census of Canada an attempt is being made to cover ac- curately every bit of Canadian teri. tory where human life is known to exit. The district of Ungava, stretch- ing from the east coast of Hudson Bey to -Labrador, and comprising an area,of 354,000 square miles, was also counted by the -Mounted Police last winter, but no report is yet in. One. white man to a thousand square miles of territory there is a liberal estimate. In the far north Cepa Bernier, on the Government steamer Aretie, is counting the Esquireaux, whales and missionariesaround the Arctic circle. In the western hinter/mid MOunted Police are taking the . count in the Mackenzie River basin north to the Arctic Ocean. Their report is not ex- pected until October next. With the exception of these outer- most districts, however, Chief Cen- sus Connnissioner Archibeld Blue ex- pects to have the population figures of all the Provinces ready about the end of July, Final returns, it is ex- pected, will show a total -population of slightly over 8,000,000, as com- pared with 071,3151 according, to the census of 1901. This will not inelude any mummer tourists or transient visitors in the Dominion. The census is being tak- en according to the English system. At each.plitee of abode the enumer- ator is anstructed to enter only the tames of all persons who had their legal residence there on June 1. Thus all Canadians temporarily abroad will be enumerated and the figure') will in no way reflect any temporary move- ment of population. FIRE IN CHURCH.
