Some Interesting Statistics Given ybyLetost Census Bulletin. ‘ A despatch" from Ottawa. says: .The 18th bulletin of: the census of ' 1911, issued on. W'cdnesday, copâ€" tains the statistics cf ages cf-the people by single years, by totals for Canada, and for onoh 50f" the provinces, also comparative statis- tics of the distribution of the people by age periods in 1911 and 1901. The largest proportion per 1,000 of persons under 10 years is found in the Province of Quebec, with 273.508, as compared with 271.456 in 1901, when it. also held the pre- mier position. The lowest propor- tion is found in British Columbia, with 166.345, followed by Ontario, with 200.316 per 1,000; these two provinces occupied. the same rela- tive positions in 1901, the former having 169.374 and the latter 208.- 393 per 1,000. The provinces which show a, betterment at this age are Nova. Scotla, New Brunswick and Quebec. The greatest falling off is ' shown by Manitoba, which has dropped from 270.094 to 248.677, and by Prince Edward Island, which has fallen from 232.086 to 214.450 per 1,000. The "Western Provinces are the _1‘cgious of young men and women, as is shown by’ the ,lurge per cent. of the population jll‘gpvoen the ages of 20 and 45. It is‘un interesting fact- that the high- 'eslffproportion for this age period isms-Be found in British Columbia, {than} as we come eastward the ‘ proportion assumes decreasing figure. cst’proportion over 70 years are Prince Edward Island, Nova. Sco- tia., New Brunswick and Ontario, with 52.9. 46.6, 38.1 and 34.7 re~ spcctjvely per 1,000, â€" showing the lowest. are Sask‘apchowon. British Columbia and TMa’nitoba, with 8.2, 8.8, 12.3 and 13.3 per 1.000 respectively. That .Canada is pro-eminently a. while those Alb erta, . country of young pebple is evi- ' donoed by the fact. that 812.9 per- ‘gous in every 1,000 of the popula- V ,tion of kilown ago are under 45 , yours. r:;_ firTlle proportion of divorces is I -”‘gi\‘1en its si‘n’jn 10,000; Of the total male popul'ultion, 62 per cent. are single; 34.85.3married, and 2.33 wi- dowed.

For the population under 15, years of age the propor- tion of males to females is fairly level, with the former having but a_ slight advantage. In the popula- tion between the ages of 20 and 45 this influence is strikingly shown, the aggregate for this period giv- mg 124 males to 100 females. At the age of 70 the. ratio of males 'to females assumes ago-in its normal proportion. From 80 years of age and upward the female population exhibits a greater tenacity of life than do the males. In all Eastern cities the female population outnumbers the male in very nearly a. correspondingly ratio to the extent that males preponâ€" derate over females in the “Test. Montreal is the only Canadian city where the numbers of males and females are in fairly true propon trons. ...__.___»X4 " C.V.R. TUNNEL TERMINALS. __ Building Operations Will Be Start-l cd Shortly.
