"In every county where I have been In
recent month I have found new people.
In Crock county, for example, thou-
'sands of aofea of arid land have been
homestesded within the laat two or
three yea re. and homes are springing up
on every hand. The Deachutee country
a become thickly settled. In Harney
county there haa been a heavy influx of
new people. In a doien other countrlea
similar - condition extat, and- all -over
the atate the large farma and ranchei

"It la my belief that the population
of the -state 1 now not lee than 660,000.
I do npt believe In Inflating atatlatlca
relating to Oregon's population, but on
the other hand It U I grave mtatake
to underestimate the growth and prog
ress of the gtate. It aeema to me very
unfortunate that Commissioner Hoff
should put out such figures as he haa
embodied In hla report. If hla estimate
be true, the population of the gtate has
Increased only 91,000 in elx yeara. Tet.
as a matter of fact, the people of Mult
nomah county know that aa much as
01,000 haa been added to the population
of that county within the laat alx years.
and probably within the laat two years
The methoda employed by Mr. Hoff In
his estimate are entertaining. In his
table he gives the census population of
each county In 1900, the census popula
tion of If 06, the population baaed on the
school children of 19A. the population
baaed on the achool census of 1906. the
population estimated from the school
enrollment of 1900, and, the population
estimated from the achool attendance of
1900. From all three laat the popula
tion estimated on a census basis, the
school enrollment and the school attend
ancea final estimate of the popula
tion la arrived at by striking a
average.
Juat why Mr. Hoff takes theee three
columns for his calculations haa not
been explained. What relation they
bear one to the other, haa not been told.
But that It pleaaea the Oregon lan there
can be no doubt, for under the eatlmate
Multnomah county la given a total popu
lation of 148,264, which It might be in
cidentally mentioned la something more
than 10,000 less than tha population of
Portland alone, aa estimated from the
now city directory which hag Juat re
cently been complied.
ataaatta Appear Doubtful.
Mr. Hoffa results will appear uncer
tain to those who consider the change
able base from which he calculated.
Tha achool census of 10 may bear a
certain eatlmated ratio to the total
number of Inhabitants, as there ia
recognised a fictitious proportionate,
numerical relation between the Whole
population and tha children of a com
munity. The achool census la presum
ably a correct notation of all children of
achool age in the community.
Mr. Hoff. however, muat have had
gome magic sliding seal when he be
gan to base definite reaults on anything
eatlmated from enrollment and attend
ance. Tha enrollment of a achool ia a
total of all names found on a register
during tha school year. When it la
considered that tha takes into con
sideration all changea of pupils from
one achool district to another, thus giv
ing the atudent a dual personality as
far as state figures are concerned, while
on the other hand It takea no notice of

a P. Hoff. it Salem gentleman wbo
holde an official position, that of state
labor i emnilaarWiaor haa, out of tha in
tricacies of his inner consciousness, and
with the aid of his spar time, presum
ably, compiled a wondrous estimate of
Oregon's population for 1901. Aa a result
of these calculations, the public ia In
formed that the atate now numbers an
estimated 604.649 soul, aa against a
federal census enumeration at 4U.II6
In 1M4).
juat why Mr. Hoff went to all the
trouble personally aad occupied so much
of the valuable time officially In com
piling this table la bard to understand,
nine tha law which created the office
of gtate labor commissioner aad from
the provisions of which he draws hla
authority aaya no word about state cen
sus enumeration, either directly or by
Implication. The official evidently out
of an abundance of time and good In
tention filled in the apace between the
periods of activity caused by hla official
duties by a labor of enlightenment. It
ia curious to note Incidentally that the
general trend of Mr. Hoffa figures is
along the path so patriotically marked
out by that exponent of progress, the
morning Oregonlan, and bis totala are
aa deathly conservative aa those of the
paper which haa been "marking time"
for so many years and whose editor . Is
now marking down Portland's and Ore-;
gon's population for '.reasons of personal
and business gain.
Governor Chamberlain, wbo knows
Oregon aa well as any man who over
lived in it, disagree, with Mr. Hoff and
puts th population at 660.000. He
says:
"In nry opinion. Mr. Hoffa estimate
Of the state's population is much too
low. There are many noticeable incon
sistencies and contradictions In the
table by which be undertakes to show
the population. In a number of coun
ties hs finds that the population was
lass In x0t than in 1900. basing bis
conclusions, of course, on the stats cen
sus taken last year. There can be no
question that that census fell abort of
the actual population of tha atate.
Thousands of people were overlooked by
tha county asoessors and if every one
bad been counted the total would have
been much larger than It was.
"Furthermore, since ths census of
away Jrorje attendance. It can be eur-
mlaed that a definite estimate would be
difficult undertaking.
Any estimate based on attendance
would also be liable to fault.
The attendance Is the number of
pupils that actually attend school. It
fluctuates with slcknsss, the seasons
and other conditions. It takea Into no
account the number of children who
never enter the school house doors. It
is, therefore, an Incomplete foundation
upon which to hang the population of a
atate.
Thla table compiled by Mr. Hoff ex
hibits some peculiarities. For instance.
the population estimated from the at
tendance is greater In several counties
than that baaed upon tha estimate of
the enrollment upon the school. Since
the attendance of a school is generally
supposed to be ths average number of
pupils actually going to school out of
the whole number enrolled aa students.
It would seem that Mr. Hoff has either
erred in his calculations, haa used the
wrong ratio of eatlmate or else that his
premlaes were wrong In the first place.
To more clearly Illustrate, according
to Mr. Hoff s table. Baker county has a
population estimated on enrollment
of 11,864. while on the baala of attend
ance It ia 12.097. In the asms order the
figures quoted for Benton are 6.066 and
7.760; for Crook, 6.794 and 7,901; for
Harney, 2.S21 and 2.848; for Jackson,
11,237 and 20,869; while Lane, Malheur.

the final estimate derived by Mr. Hoffa
unique method to be considerably under

aua as a basis. Since the school pan.
aua is the only comparative- v atahla
baala la the list, and is supposed to be
near the correct representation of
the whole number of achool children
can be secured. It would appear to the
casual mind to be the moat reliable as
a basis of any population eatlmate.
Then again the final estimate found
in eeveral counties is lower than that
of either the cenaua eatlmate or of the
enrollment eatlmate,' or both. Slaoe the
enrollment would perhaps come second
after the census aa a reliable quantity.
It would appear again that the Hoff fig
urea are erroneous. All through the
list the estimates seem to follow so
many trains of thought, and to arrive
at a certain and definite mathematical
