Oabora Mm No. a, FaU ElTer.ltaas. fftfyi O For . ffk ij1 he Dowels There Is a wide difference between estimates of population of Portland by tlte Automatic Home Telephone com pany and the Pacific State Telephone company. The Home company places the city's total population at 210.6U0. This com pany, whirl In its first year Is showing i.ouu subscribers ' has S.O0U advance orders on its books for telephones that are being put in as fast aa possible. The Pacific States Telephone company, which had 20,370 telephones In service the first of this year, estimates the city's population at Hi). 000. According to the Pacific States Tele phone company's monthly periodical published at San Franrlsco, that com pany haa lost one and four tenths of its telephone users in Portland hlnce las( January. The company obviously es timates that Portland haa In the same time lost 65.196 people, Instead of the 16,000 gain the city has made. This Derlodlral gives the cltv'a norv- ulatlon at 140,000. Apparently the tele phone company figures that everybody who quits Its telephone and subscribes for the Home phono at once removes from the city and ceases to be an in habitant thereof. Case of Poor rigturlns'. It Is said the Pacific States Tele phone magazine should do some figur ing upon its returns from San Fran cisco Los Angeles and Seattle before printing Its ridiculous estimates of population. Portland is the only city on the coast where the Pacific States Telephone company has lost subcrlbers this year, and the reason Is that a Blronir Auto matic Home Telephone system has been i put into operation nere, and la gaining business with marvelous rapidity. At the present time Portland has 20, 163 Bell telephone subscribers und 13, 000 Home Telephone subscribers. Se attle, which has buuone telephone sys tem, has a total of -W.321 telephone sub scribers. -The Pacific States Telephone com pany gives Seattle with its 23.321 sub scribers an estimated population of 17000. while Portland, with 33,163 telephone subscribers. Is permitted by the Pacific States company to have 140.000 population. The population of Portland, It ap pears, must decrease with the fall of ' tne raclllc States Telephone company s business In this city as a result Of Home Telephone competition. PlgTires Tbat Talk. San Francisco, with an estimated pop ulation of 326,000, has 32.000 Pacilic States telephone subscribers, and es timated on the same basis Portland. with Its 20,163 Pacific States telephone subscribers would have a population of 210,000 people, not counting the 13,ioo wno nave suoscriDea lor tne Home tule Dhone. I.os Angeles' entlmfltntl nnniilflttnn sf 220.000 uses 32,712 telephones, or one phone for every seven people. On the same basis that Portland is estimated by this company, Los Angeles would be entitled to nearly 60,000 telephone sub scribers. The Portland City Directory issued 11 months ago gave Portland a bona fide population of 196,196. Since thla issue the city has gained at least 15,000 peo ple, and therefore the Portland Home Telephone company's estimate of 210,000 ueoDle in this city and suburbs at the present date is not far wrong. wnue tne i'acino states Teiepnone Magazine has a circulation limited only to telephone employes. It Is believed that the better policy would be more carefully to inform even this small number of people as to the actual num ber of Portland's Inhabitants.
