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.

Martin Rlt of Sycamore, having a
misunderstanding with his wife and
being unable to find any better way to
express his feelings, used his pugilistic
prowess on the stovepipe! He and the
stovepipe were not very good friends to
begin with, but they had managed to
get along together up to that tlma
Mrs. Rita, unaccustomed 'to such an en
counter between her husband and the
stovepipe, decided that he must be in
sane, and made complaint to that ef
fect When Rfti was" examined by County
Judge Webster yesterday afternoon he
told of his domestic troubles and the
affair which led to his arrest He said
that his temper was at such point that
he had to hit something, and he hit the
stovepipe instead of his wife. Judge
neusier aeciaca mat tnis waa a good
excuse, and? as he failed to discover any
sigp of insanity, Rita was ordered discharged.
