Territory Growing
By Leaps and Bounds
Alaska continues to hr' the
fastest-growing region under the
American Flag, its population as
of January 1, 1952, being (esti
mated at 153,900, a gain of 20
per cent over the 128,643 per
sons counted in the Territory in
the 1950 decennial census, it is
announced by Don II. Goodman,
Alaska Development B o a r d
chairman. The increase over the
1939 official count amounts to
more than 200 marksmanship
contests.
The team won the Oregon
pi? o' championship in March.
Earlier it received second place
in tlie U.S. H volver Association
meet, finally losing to a U.S.
Naval Academy team from An

112 per cent, Mr. Goodman said.
The estimate is based on pas
senger traffic data obtained from
the various transportation com
panies operating between the
United States, or Canada, and
Alaska; Alaska and Haines High
way traffic figures prepared by
the Canadian Department of Im
migration and vital statistics
compiled by the Alaska Depart
ment of Health.
The transportation figures,
kept on a monthly basis, illus
trate clearly the annual ingress
and egress of seasonal workers,
tourists and others. The peak
population during 1950 was
reached in July, when there
were an estimated 147,800 per
sons in the Territory. This num
ber dropped to 137,860 by De
cember 31 of that year.
The peak population during
1951 was reached in August,
when there were an estimated
165,700 persons in Alaska. The
number declined to 159,450 in
September: 155,750 in October:
reaching 153,900 at the end of
December.
The natural increase—-births
over deaths—totalled 2473 in
1950 and 3082 in 1951, a grand
total of 5555. Minor adjustments
r maining to be made in the
1951 figures are expected to
bring the latter figure to a some
what higher mark.
Candidates blossom in the
soring and get frost-bitten along
about November.
