That Portland haa a much larger fcop4

census la conceded on every hand.;; It
la lrv common, talk' smdnr' tha tostal
employes that the Portland carriers' In
dividually are delivering' ' mall to a
larger number of people than is the case
in any other city In the United States,
It- la belnar arrued - therefore, that such
a censua would serve the two-fold pur
pose of more correctly ascertaining' the
population of 'Portland snd at the same
time showing that the Portland carrier
force Is doing; more work than, that of
any other clty.. ' ' - -
Ex-senator Frederick W. Mulkey is an

It Is the intention of Mr. Mlnto to
take tha Question no with the office at
Tacoma and rina irom mere in meinou
nuraued . bv that office in taking the
census of that city. He will ask the
Tacoma postmaster all of the details of
the census-taking,, what the expense
was. how the carriers proceeded.
whether or not It Interfered In any way
with the regular-discharge of their du
ties snd whether the sanction of the de-

It Is believed the carriers would be

.-They -cover every-portion of the

estimated that the-work could be done

that once It was completed the result
would be more nearly the real popula

alter Langdon's stand.
"I don't consider the prisoner here aa
the-mayor of San Francisco, but aa Eu
