Excerpt from Report on Population and Resources of Alaska at the Eleventh Census: 1890 To take the census of Alaska even at this date, after 23 years of possession by the United States, involves a Special condition in statistics. We are all familiar with the favorite illustration by means of parallel columns differing in color and length and denoting increase or decrease of population in successive periods of enumeration. In dealing with Alaskan statistics of population we have no previous diagram to which we may refer, not even a solitary column of definite figures upon which to build or base our present structure.
