Dec. I. The population of Ore gon probably will be announced by counties tomorrow. Oregon and Idaho, it is aald. will show about an equal rate of Increase. This rate will be very high, though not so high as the State of Washington. Practically every city and town In the State of Washington having a population of more than 6000 will show a growth of more lian 100 per cent for the last ten years, according to Census Director Durand. This will be brought out when the population of all the cities and towns is anounced December 10, and it Is the expectation of the Censua Bureau that the state, as a whole, will show more than 100 per cent Increase in population since 1300. If this proves true, Washington will hold the record for percentage of gain during the last ten years, with the ex ception of Oklahoma, whose phenomenal growth is due to well understood causes. It will be six weeks or more before the population of the smaller cities and towns can be computed. One week from tomorrow the Census Bureau expects to announce the popula tion of tlie United States and its Insular possessions, and the Indications are that the aggregate population of the entire area will exceed 100,000,000. The population of the United States proper, is expected to aggregate 81.000, 000. Counting Arizona and New Mexico as states, the totals for 28 out of the 4S states, already have been announced. The grand total for 26 out of these states is 60.037,759, which Is a gain of between 21 and 22 per cent over the population In the same states in IHOO. At this rate of Increase, the total population of the country should be about 91,000.000. The most striking development of the census so far aa shown is the relative growth of cities and Industrial centers, aa com pared with th farming regions. The Eaetern states have more than held their own, while the states of the Middle West have fallen off. Th population of the State of Cali fornia is 3.377.519. according to statistics of the 13th census, made public today. This is an Increase of 892.496, or 60.1 per cent over 1.485.063 In 1900.

This fact developed! to night when Wiener was arrested here and taken to the City Hall. The identity of the man who Shot and fatally wounded Policeman Barnett and who was In turn shot and killed by the officer is still a mystery. The arrest of Alexander McDonald who came to this city with Hyman Wie ner, brought about the climax In the mystery surrounding the identification of the body taken for his son. McDonald maintained from the first time he viewed body in the morgue that it was not Wie ner's, but the fact that Wiener's father, who came here yesterday from Roxbury, positively identified the body a that of his son, started the police on a hunt for McDonald.
