The Population of Utah.-It will doubtless surprise most people to learn that nearly two-thirds of the population of Utah was born in that territory, but such is the fact according to a census bulletin just issued. Out of a total population of 144,000 no less than 81,000 are set down as natives of Utah, while another 20,000 were born in different states of the Union, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Missouri furnishing the largest quotas and in the order mentioned. Of the 44,000 of foreign birth England furnishes nearly 20,000; Denmark, nearly 8,000; Sweden and Norway, nearly 5,000: Scotland, 3,200; Wales, 2,400; Ireland, 1,300: Switzerland, 1,000: while the German Empire has but 885. Doubtless the bulk of the Utah born population consists of minors, and it will be rather curious to note the classification according to age when it is made.
