In presenting the figures 130,000 as fi present population of Portland, ac ' tual names are on the aaser's . rolls to support the statement, and these are tint the names -of anr people who live outside the city limits.

But, resorting to no padding methods to make a good showing, of growth, the city of Portland donbtless - will point with considerable prldefto the 44 per cent Increase lm the city 4tself ' " as Indicating wonderful future. Owing to the fact that five years ago the main portion of the city, was already quite-congested and the popula tion was pressing outward to the suburbs, it is known that the major portion of the increase has been in the outlying districts and In the suburbs which are outside the city, limits. The ' extension of the car lines-has brought manv dlstrrts within easy-reach oflh( ienter of the city, so" that thousands have gone out there to live and yet con-TVlnue- to do burtlnesrf In Portland.
