MOST COUNTIES INCREASE
the official .1920 census for the state
of Oregon has b"en placed at 183,285,
or an increase of but 110, 520 over the
official governmerfc census of 1910.
The state's sain in population during:
the ten-year period was at the rate
of 16.4 per cent.
Persons who were in a position to
note the strides .taken by numerous
communities and the sections of the
state during: the last few years con
fidently expected that the official
tabulation would place this state wel:
above the 900,000 mark. In some
quarters there was a disposition to
criticise the work and method of the
census bureau, but in the main the
feeling; was expressed that it be

cennial period being 30.2 per cent for
the decade 1890-1900.
The most rapid rate of growth was
during the first few years in the
history of the state, the population
increasing three-fold from 1850 to
1860. During the following three de
cades, 1860-90, the population of the
state Increased more than five-fold,
the percentages of increase ranging
from 73.3 to 92.2 per cent. Between
1830 and 1910 the population more
than doubled. The numerical increase
in the decade 1900-10 was nearly one
and a half times the entire popula
tion of the state in 1880.
Comparison of the rates of Increase
for the state with those for the United
States shows that during every dec
ade the growth of the state was
more rapid than the growth of the
country as a whole. The population
of the state in 1910 was somewhat
more than 50 times as large as in
1850, while the population of the
United States in 1910 was Blightly
less than four times that in 1850.

tion of Oregon follows:

down to the business of building the
state.
Klgures Shook Governor.
"The low census figures given for
this state come as distinct shock and
surprise to me," was the comment of
Ben W. Olcott, governor. "During the
last few years I have ' traveled over
practically every section of the state;
I have visited communities which a
few years ago were sparsely-populated,
but which are now busy and pro
gressive centers. I have come .in
personal contact with many persons
who have come here from other
states, and from personal observa
tion alone I was confident that the
official figures on Oregon's popula
tion would disclose a much larger
growth. I am surprised but not dis
couraged, for Oregon is young and
her people are virile and progressive."
George Quayle, secretary of the
state chamber of commerce, was in
clined to criticise the method em
ployed in the taking of the census,
for he still insists that Oregon has a
population of more than 900,000, fed
eral statistics tj the contrary notwithstanding.
"Taking it altogether, the whole
state would make a fair-sized town,
was his brief comment on the census
figures. "I believe there was a b-reat
laxity in the taking of the govern
ment census, especially outside of
Portland. There was not a sufficient
expression of public opinion back of
it, and, anyway, 1 believe the census
should be taken by trained govern
ment employes and not by disinterest
ed persons who are employed for a
few days or weeks at best.
Population Estimated at 950, OOO
"From all the information which I
have gathered I still estimate the
state's population at 950,000 persons.
Nor "is this any haphazard guess, j
These compilations are authentic and
procured from sources 'l.deem to be
absolutely reliable."
H. B. Van Duzer, president of the
Portland chamber of commerce, ox
pressed great surprise that the fed
eral compilation of Oregon's official
population had been placed so low.
"I am genuinly surprised that it
is not nearer 1,000,000 persons," he
said. "Persons best advised on the
growth of the state and conditions
in every part of Oregon were of the
opinion that the official census
woud show the state to have between
900,000 and 1,000,000 persons during
this census. '
The unexpectedly low population
announced for Oregon simply means
that the state must redouble her ef
forts toward getting home-seekers
to come here, asserts Frank Branch
Riley, whose mission it has been this
year and last to spread the gospel
of Oregon and the northwest through
the east and middle west.
Call Must Be .Sounded.
"The time has come when the clar
ion call must be sounded to ail per
sons of Oregon to make the advant
ages of the state better known to
those of the east," he said. "It shows
only too plainly that we have been
lax in making known the possibil
ities of our state.
"There has been no exodus from
Oregon during the last few years or
at any time. On the other hand, there
has been a steady increase in popula
tion. And because of this, it is hard
to realize that the official census
shows the growth so low during the
last decade.
The census- figures as given out
yesterday show that the growth in
Multnomah county has been 49.637,
or an increase of 21.9 per cent. The
population of the county is placed
at 275,898. With the population of
Portland officially announced sev
eral weeks ago at 258,288, this leaves
the present population of the county,
outside of Portland at 17.610.
Christensen Denies Radical Power.
Every-Day Americana Seeking
Relief, Says Nominee.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5. Announce-!
ment that the committee of 4S wasj
preparing to withdraw formally from
all connection with the farmer-labor
party, of which Parley P. Christensen
is the presidential nominee, today fol
lowed closely charges by H. A. Mc
Collem and Charles A. Weaver, who.
n resigning as officials and members
of the Utah farmer-labor organiza
tion, charged that party was con
trolled by the Industrial Workers of
the World.
Reorganization of the committee of
48 along original lines of the party
will be undertaken at a meeting of
the executive committee Monday, ac
cording to Allen McCurdy, secretary
of the 4Sers. In a statement today he
said the farmer-labor party is a
"radical" organization and does not
adhere to the principles on which the
committee of 48 attempted to build a
national party.
Charge Is Denied.
Replying to the charges of McCol
lem and Weaver, Mr. Christensen de
clared the farmer-labor Party is not
under I. W. W. control, but is com
posed of "everyday Americans seek
ing relief from the intolerable eco
nomic autocracy obtaining."
In a statement Mr. Christensen chal
lenged the political Integrity of Mc
Collem and Weaver.
Mr. McCurdy delivered the keynote
address at the Chicago convention
last month when the committee of 48
attempted through amalgamation
with the labor and single tax parties
and adherents of other political
creeds to form a third party.
Labor Wants Class Party
"The labor party," Mr. McCurdy
said, "started out to create a class
party which should appeal only to
organized workers to the end that
control of the American Federation
of Labor should pass from -its present
leadership into that of the insurgents
and to introduce guild socialism into
American life.
"It is plain that it is impossible for
these two to meet, join, merge or
amalgamate. Oil and water do not
mix."
Mr. McCurdy asserted that while
the committee of 48 had been nomi
nally represented at the convention
which nominated Mr. ChriBtensen.
most leaders and delegates had gone
home when they "saw that the prin
ciples of the 48ers had been swal
lowed by the radicalism of the labor
ites." Except the Maryland organization
and certain individuals, including
Dudley Field Malone, who have sub
scribed to the farm-ir-l-xbor platform,
tte committee of 48 is still intact.
Mr. McCurdy caid. .
48 It Intact.
Late today the following telegram
signed by H. A. McCollem was re
ceived at 48 headquarters from Salt
Lake City:
"The Utah committee of 48 intact.
Organized labor resents attiturto of
the farmer-labor party. Utah voters
desire new liberal party not con
trolled by rabid radicals"
Before starting for Nashville. Tenn.,
late today, M. Christensen sent tele
grams to Send tor Harding and Gov
ernor Cox ur'ng that they g . to
Tennessee to urge passage of tho suf
frage amendiv.e;:t by the Tennessee
U-gislature.
Cox Harding Jarred.
"I have received appalling informa
tion that ratification by Tennessee is
in grave doubt," the message declares.
It then calls attention to the fact that
Harding and Cox are leaders of the
republican and democratic parties
respectively and says:
"As the chosen leader of one of
these parties you cannot avoid being
responsible for what happens to the
suffrage amendment in that state.
There is one way in which you ' can
demonstrate your sincerity in the
matter. That is, by proceeding
once to Nashville, and exerting your
powerful influence upon your party
adherents there in behalf o ratifica
tion."
