WASHINGTON. Dae. ia-In tha United

Is the official estimate of the United
Statea bureau of the census, announced
today la connection with the population
statistics for the country aa enumerated
In the 13th census. It Includes the Phil
ippine. Samoa. Guam. Hawaii. Alaska
and the Panaira Canal Zone.
Within Its borders on the North Amrr-
Irsn Continent. exclusive of Alaska, the
1'nlted States has a population of II.
n Inhabitants.
Country Cain 1S,I77.(1. '
In the last ten years the states of the
I nlon had an Increase In population of
IS.977.91. which amounts to tl per cent
over the 13u Blurts.
ilnc the flrst census was taken. In
1T the country has grown 15 times aa
large, the population then having" been
IK9.&4. slightly larger than the present
population of Texas.
The growth of the country waa greater
than baa been expected by tba expert
statisticians, who have closely watched
the progress of the country's population.
Washington's Gain Highest.
The Stat of Washington carries off the
banner for rate of Increasa In population
between ISO and 19X0. Its present popu
lation, announced by the Censos Bureau
today to be 1.141.990k exceeds that of 1900
by C3.SS7. or gain of 13) 4 per cent.
No other atata In the Union showed so
larga an Increase. Oklahoma Is second
with 10V.T per cent gain, and Idaho la
third with Wl.l per cent. With this
normoua Increasa of population. Wash
ington will bare Cve Kepresentatlvea In
Congress after the new apportionment Is
made, and would have six but for the
fact that the basis of apportionment prob
ably will he Increased to or SO. 000.
Census Director Durand today called
attention to the fact that the rata of
growth of population during the past 10
yeare was greater In tba Pacltlo North
west than In any other part of the coun
try, the average Increasa for Oregon.
Washington and Idaho, taken collec
tively, being M-f per cent.

Taking the thre Const statea alone, ex
clusive of Idaho, the rate of incresse Is
B per cent, and even this rate Is far
greater than that shown by any other
portion of tba United States, except the
Northwestern trio.
The compilation of state statistics given
out today shows Orrgon to ba the Xlh
state In s!xe. Washington Is loth and
Idaho Is 43th. Trn years ago Oregon waa
tsth. Washington 33d and Idaho 47th.
Oregon'a apparent drop of one place is
due to the combination of Oklahoma and
Indian Territories, forming a new state
whoso population exceeds that of Ore
gon. Therefore, in reality Oregon's place
among the statea haa not chanced. Wash
ington has moved up three polnta and
Idaho one.
Director Durand expressed some sur
prise that Oregon's heavy gain In popu
lation had not elevsted the state on the
list, but a careful scrutiny of the figures
shows the announcement to be correct.

CHICAGO, Dec 10. (Special.) War
ren 8. Stone, grand chief of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, and
four of hla assistants spent today can
vassing tha recent strike vote taken
by tha men on tha Western railroads.
Mr. Stone said tha count would not ba
completed before Monday, and it then
will be announced to tha railroad man
agers.
Mr. Stone estimated that 98 per cent
of the englnemen favored a strike. The
next move, according to Mr. Stone, la
with the railroads.
Tho railroads affected In the present
controversy are those extending west
from Chicago, and If tho engineers
strlks the Eastern roads will not be
drawn Into the controversy. There is
always a chance, however, of a sym
pathetic atrike. and In that event the
Eastern engineers would Join the strik
ers. Switching service In the Chicago
yards, however, would be brought to
standstill.
Sixty-one railroads will ba affected
If the engineers vote to strike and their
terms are nasi accepted by the mana
gers. Tho number of englnemen em
ployed on these roads Is 33,700. The
lines represent 136.000 miles of road, or
It per cent of the total mileage of the
country.
This vote Is the first that has ever
been ordered by the Brotherhood of
Engineers on a general scale and It
Is the first of any kind to be taken
since the strike on the Burlington In
IMS.
"Our Brotherhood is known through
out the country for Its conservatism,"
said Grand Chief Stone, "and when we
take a strike vote It means something.
The managers tried to take advantage
of ua because, we have not been In
clined to atrike In the past. We have
done our best to maintain harmony,
and have even made concessions that
our men would not be willing to accept.
If It comes to a strike, which now
seems likely, we will tie up every road
west of Chicago."
Aftsr months of negotiations the de
mands of the engineers now are some
per cent higher than the railroad
-managers are willing to grant. If the
demands are not acceded to a atrike
that will close the throttle of every
railroad locomotive west, south and
north of Chicago may be called within
five hours, it waa Intimated.

BT T. P. O'CONNOR.
(Special cable to Chicago Tribune. Copyright.
1010. by Tribune Company.)
LIVERPOOL Dec 10. Premier As
quith has pronounced home rule for
Ireland the leading: issue in the present
campaign. This momentous pronounce
ment was made In a small schoolhousa
of a remote village in Scotland, but al
ready It has stirred the whole British
Islands, and eclipsed all other issues In
the fight.
The pronouncement waa made In an
swer to a "heckler." as the typical dis
turber of British political meetings Is
called.
"Is it the truth," asked this heckler,
"that, if the Liberal government is re
turned to power in this election, it will
give Ireland a measure of Tiome rule?"
"My reply,", said squlth, "is, 'It is.' "
Reply Aids Redmond.
The precision, firmness and candor of
this answer on the part of a man so
frigid and cautious and bo determined
to, concentrate this election on the
House of Lords comes as a thunderclap
to all of the enemies of the Liberal
party, and It Is a great aid to Red
mond's fie-bt. -
Though Redmond was well aware
that it was Asquith's Intention to give
Irish heme rule an immediate chance,
the carpers and factlonlsbs in Ireland
have been Insisting that Asquith was
a trickster and that Redmond was his
dupe. But now even the Dublin Inde
pendent, chief supporter of the Healy
faction, confesses that Asquith's
declaration leaves no more to be said,
and Is entirely satisfactory.
Thus home rule at last Is unde
niably before the eyes of all men
and Is definitely In sight. For the
general election practically Is over,
and the government will return with
unbroken strength to tha House of
Commons. The second declaration
against the Lords ends their existing
powers.
The Tories, however, are continuing
to use every device possible to evade
this final and crushing verdict. A. J.'
Balfour, leader of the opposition, who
in vain threw over hla protection of
the House of Lords, and even the
plural voting, which robs the Liberals
of Innumerable seats, in the effort to
scape defeat, now follows another
line of retreat.
Balfour practically demands a third
election, following closely the lead of
Lord Rosebery. who declared that If
the Liberals lost even five seats It
would preclude them from proceeding
witfi the attack on the Lords.
Thlej ridiculous pretension already is
being laughed out of court I have no
doubt that the Liberals will propose an
anti-veto bill on tho flrst night of the
new Parliament., will proceed with it
promptly and when it Is rejected by the
Lorda will call upon the 'King to create
enough new peers to carry the measure
through the second chamber.
Veto Power Seems Doomed.
Tie King undoubtedly will not .cefuse
this request. But If he should. Premier
Asquith must, by his pledges, Immediate
ly ttslgn and leave Balfour face to face
with a hostile majority in the House of
Commons, which would throw him "out
of office the next day.
Already the Tories are sending up a -

Pacific Power & Light Com

VAST IRRIGATION PLANNED
Guy W. Talbot, President of LocaJ
Corporation and Larger Concern,
Announces Big Improvements i
for JText Year.
Expenditures aggregating $2,250,000 will
be made by the Portland Gas & Coko
Company and the Paciflc Power & Light
Company during the coming year, ac
cording to announcement made yester
day by Guy W. Talbot, president of both
concerns.
Of this sum $750,000 will ba spent in
extending the mains and improving tha
plant of the Portland Gas & Coke Com
pany. The remaining $1,500,000 will be used
in the further development of the light
and power company's service along tha
Columbia and Yakima rivers In Eastern
Washington, making possible the Irriga
tion of a large area.
Work on the local Improvements will
be started early In 1911. About 200 miles
of gas mains will be laid. Additions will
be made to the local generating plant to
accommodate the Increased service.
The new mains, so far as possible, will
cover those districts In which the city
is planning hard-surface improvements,
but many of the suburban streets will
also be served.
Tons of Pipe Ordered.
"It will be our aim to serve all of tha
outlying sections," said Mr. Talbot. "Wa
already have planned to serve Monta
villa. Rose City Park, the Ladd tract,
Fulton, Brooklyn, Buchs, the territory
south of Powell Road, Woodlawn, tha
district north of Hawthorne" avenue, tha
Simon district, the streets north of Clin
ton street and south of Tibblts.
Orders have been placed for 12,000 or
13.000 tons of steel pipe with the United
States Cast Iron Company. Much of this
will be delivered within tha first few
months of the year." v
Included in the territory in which new
pipes will be placed are from 50 to 75
mllesthat are not in need of enlarged
mains at this time, but upon which the
city contemplates hard-surface paving.
The Improved service will be Installed
to preclude the necessity of tearing tha
streets when business demands tha
change. '
Plant Large Enough.
Nearly all of the money appropriated
for this work will be spent in the ex
tension of the mains and very little will
be required in improving the generating
plant, as that is large enough to accom
modate the present and Immediate fu
ture needs of the company. It is so
constructed that additions can ba built
at any time they are required.
While It may be Impossible to carry out
all of the proposed improvements during
the coming year, the full J750.000 appro
priated will be available, and that which
Is not used in 1911 will be carried over
Into the following year and the Improve
ments completed then as fast as they can
be taken up.
The Pacific Power & Light Company
Is controlled by practically the same set
of stockholders, and now operates five
electric generating plants.
Two of these are hydro-electric gener
ating electricity by water power and ara
located at Natchez and Walla Walla.
Three are steam plants and are in oper
ation at Walla Walla, Kennewlck and
Wenatchee.
The proposed, improvements call for
the extension of the transmission lines
from the present terminal of the electrio
cable at Sunnyslde to the adjacent dis
