THE OREGON DAtLV JOURNAL, PORTLAND, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 5, ' 19(9. ABOUT 200,000 POPULATION Theatre 3Ianagers, Eestaura lit ' Keepers, Steamboat Men and Others Confident of Portland's Great Growth ', Since the Last Census Was Taken. vv Anions; all classes of business there Is a general feeling that the population Of Portland Is above tlie 1'uo.uuu mars. " One f the strongest examples of the " Increase In population Is the theatre. Without an exception me niemrc umw ... r that thpre is a Kroater at tendance all around this year. This is not only true of the old established theatres, but or tne newer piaynouses. . Nlglitlv thev ro filled with new faces, strong- indication that the city has rrowa enormously wiimn me tan yrar. There are more theatres running nightly now than ever in the history of the city. Restaurateurs sav that tne popula tion has enlarged and point to me in creased patronage as a convincing argu ment There are more l!ninr places now than ever b.-fore. All or tnem en Joy a large trade, and there is a notice . able presence of new faces among the diners. - The police department and other city departments nave nouceu ine very cn '. dent Increase all along- the line. Some of the expressions of men en- ff&ged In these pursuits are as follows: Theatres Are Crowded. ' W. T, Panglix manager of the Hellisr theatre "-Basing my estimate on the in crease in the theatre going public I should say we have between 225,000 and 260,1)00. I say the first number to be conservative and the' second to go a shade over Seattle, for thev claim 250, ; " 000, and we can as honestly claim 260, 000. . George Baker I should say the pres ent population is about 1S5.000. at a conservative estimate. Next year we should show Koo.ooo in tne government census. I was one of the enumerators . of the last census estimate and I feel that I can Judge with considerable ac curacy. Theodore Kruse of the Louvre I should say there are at least 200.000 in Portland. The Increase in the restau- rant business has been very noticeable within the nast 10 years. I E. Juston of Juston'" restaurant when I came here in 1877 the popula tion was between 78,000 and 80,000. I ' have been n" the, restaurant business most of the time since then and I should say the population has more than doubled. It could easily be plnced at 200,000- and personally J- should think it was more, hut anyway that Is a safe . estimate. I Judge from the increase in business and the growth in size and numbers of restaurants, and cafes, hows by Comparison. D. M, Watson of Watson's restaurant I place my estimate at 210.000 and I base it on a comparison with other cities and what they claim. There has been a Bteady Increase in the popula tion for years. I do not think the regis tration is a fair guide, for there are so many foreigners who could not and did not register and many others who neg lected it - O. M. BaVumgardner. manager of the Hill, placed his estimate at 19O,000. "We base this," he atd, "on the .number of eastern people who come here and stay for a while then go to housekeep ing and Fettle here. We have an aver age of 1 or 12 such families all thej time." , ... . I E. C. Cornell of Alexandra Court places the estimate at 200,000 on tho strength of comparison with other cities where lie has lived. More Than Doubled. EmiJ Pltteikau of the Portland res taurant I came here when Portland whs a mere village witn hardly .-.-000. I have watchedi the city grow steadily and I think it surely has 200, 000. I have been In the restaurant business here for over 20 years and I base my estimate on the Increase of business, the number of people you al ways see on me streets, ana tne crowd ed shopping districts. Fritz Strohel of the HOlhrau I can't keep pace with the growth of tin- place, but I should think there were 200.000 here. Chief Says 300,000. 'Our uooulatlon is certainly above 200.000," declared Chief Grltzmacher today. "We answered an imiuiry from Oakland. Cel.. two weeks aso sayine it was 225,000 and I think that Is about correct, although Mrs. Clinton, manager of the city directory, tells me 250,000 would bo an absolutely conservatiye figure." l believe 225,000 to be a very con servative estimate of the population of Portland, said Municipal Judge Van Zante this morning." "I base that large' y upon the school census. jroni the way peoplj come in here I think the population must be 600,000 sometimes. but 225.000 is about right, for a con servative figure." let City Take Census. Captain O. W. Hosford is positive that Portland has more than 200,000 people now, basing his opinion on the school census, "but he suggests that a committee be appointed by the city to take a census and settle the question once for all. "Of course." ho said, The Oregoniaals figures are entirely too low, but we all know the reason why. It wants to save its news fran chise. It would be- a fine Idea to have the city appoint a committee to hire 15 or 20 men to take) a census. It would not cost a great deal, nor would it take very long, and It would settle the question." Captain W. H. Patterson, Columbia and Willamette river pilot, bases his estimate of the city's population on what Postmaster Minto has to say. be lieving that the postmaster should be in position to have a very good idea. But Captain Patterson feels certain that Portland has more than 200.000 Deoole at this tlrse. Captain Delmar Shaver of the Shaver Transportation company, believes that Portland has a population of at least 225.000. He has lived here 42 yejirs and lias seen the city grow up. "It was once that I knew nearly everybody In the town," said Captain Shaver, "but it is different now and I am sure the city has 225,000 people If not more." captain Andrew tiooen. uoyd'a sur veyor, says that to be conservative he would place Portland's population at 226,000. lf I should boast," said he. I would cay we have 800.000. but thHt would be exaggerating some. There Is no doubt in my mind that Portland has more than 200,000."' OFFICERS 110 By SMEjil BOARD J. II.

Last year, there was a com-. fortable balance to begin with but th? city will start off this year with but $110,000 available. The total amount In the treasury Is (172.000 but from thU must be deducted $50,000, which the charter requires to be paid annually for water, and about $12,000 still due for nyo ranis. With the prospect of having the laun dry tax cut off and the vehicle tax freatly reduced the flow of revenue rom ordinary channels Is materially oimimsnea. to onset this prospect, however, certain councilmen will try to Increase the restaurant liquor li cense fee from $300 to $800 a year.

A case involving 06 .partif-a and 75 different points was nanu.-'i ooTvn ijv tne supreme court to day. It is the case of Houeh vs. Porter. The ilhis ..f each of the 60 parties iniere.-ipn are netmed in tne opinion. Anna ;. Hough and Marlon ..Conley brought suit originally against S. A. D. Porter in the circuit court of Lake county tic-fore Judge Henry K Benson. Each plaintiff had been using the wa ters from Silver Creek, in Lake county, for Irrigation purposes- and Porter had constructed a dam and headgate tn the creek which the plaintiffs alleged ob structed the flow of water. Action was brought to- determine whether they had prior rights. Judge King holds Tn the main that the- desert land act has rractlcally nul lified the old common law doctrine of riparian rights; that therefore tha doc trine of riparian rights does not apply 0.1r land acquired since March , 177 the time' the desert land act was adopted. Instead the rights of respec tive parties are determined by what Is ;"" o Jurists as the doctrine of prior appropriation, and application of pe'ded. righta doctrine is sus- .IV Js rerted that the water rights ?lm..Ur.d wlU ""-UPT much of the lima at the coming legislature. years ago, in May, 1907, In an article written by him and published in the North American Review, he gave his po sition to the people of the United States, upholding 'the law found on the statute books of Oregon Including the Initiative and referendum and boasting that "The state government of Oregon more nearly approaches a pure democracy than does that cf any other state of the TJnlon." In this article Senator Fulton discusses tne situation in Oregon under the cap tion of "The People as Legislators." In the commencement of his article Senator Fulton reviews the Initiative and the referendum. He points out that the first exercise of the inltlntivn re sulted, in the enactmeat of the direct primary law by a vote of more than three to one in June-. 1904. After dis cussing this law briefly the senator turns to the subject of the election of United States senators. Elected by the People. "An Important and interesting fea ture of the direct primary law is that it expressly provides for the nomination of candidates for Cnied States senator" he says. He then sets out the provis ions or the law relating to Statement ISO. 1 Statement No. 2 and the lnr.k nf any statement. He then calls attention to the election of June, liiod, Hnd the ratification of that election Ly the leg islature of 1907. at.whl.Ti Senator Bourne was elected senator in Ooor,ri ance with the popular expression of the people as recorded at the polls. In dis cussing this election Senator Fulton 'The result wn that a Senator from Oresron was for. h.. s . rlT.or'11 many ye.arJ'' e'ect''1 on the fltJ ballot. It was Indeed, a most welcome! V J.V, so ,mter had b0Pn th fac tional differences In the Republican ranks In Oregon during the preceding -0 years that people had ceased to ex pect an election of a at.nr. t , before the last ballot on the last night of the session: and It was alwavs nns- siuie mat there would be no ..Iwfi as indeed was the case in two Instances. "In fact. I am confident ihni ih. ,n- ter and lone, d rawn out i,nnln,l. )... .had become the unbroken custom in senatorial elections in Oregon contrib ute more than all else to arouse the people to take the matter Into their own hands." Then the senator fol lowed with the expressions quoted at the head of this article. The senator then points out that at the session of 1907 an effort was made to amend the primary law but that It failed. He then takes up the-obicc-tions to the old method of electing senators and says: Old Method Objectionable. "The serious objections to the old method of electing senators were (11 the opportunity afforded fox the corrupt use of money and (2) the extent to which a long senatorial contest interfered with legislative work. Under the new plan, neither of these objectionable features will ever again attend the e-lectlon of a senator by an Oregon legislature. True, there Is always the ganger that an at tempt may be made to capture the nom ination and the popular vote by the lav ish use of money; but" such sn attempt Is not only more easily guarded against, but it Is less likely to materially tn. fluen.ee the result than when made onl so smau a ooay as tne legislature, with o much time as usually Intervenes be tween the election of the members and the convening of the legislature to per fect and execute plans. , In closing his article the senator re views what he considers to be the shortcomings of the law. advocating an advisory convention, a aorrupt practice act to limit the election expense of can didates and other minor changes and guards. , ' People Are Conservatiye. In his concluding paragraph Senator Fulton says: - "So far there has been no attempt to enact unusual or extreme legislation r.n any subject under the initiative. v On the contrary, our experience thus far tends to indicate that, na lli.in the people are fully as conservative and considerate of private and corporate rights as are their representatlvea in legislative assemblies."
