Milwa.uk.le want-to cortie into the Portland family sroiip and be part of the Cityv Recently the annexation pntlmenf has been Vapidly 'growing In the progressive little city, up the river, and meetings havefeeeff held, at which the quektion wasKflscuseed and received with enthuslasim. " -r , The movement has been Riven added Impetus because of the long fight the Milwaukie-people have been waging to secure a 8-cent.far between1 there and Portland, Although the place is no far ther away than other places which are served In the 5-eent limit, the Port land Railway, Light A Power company refused to make the reduction from 10 cents to. -6 cents. 'The people of Mil- waukle took the matter up with the state railroad . commission, . and were successful. The company since that time haa been taking its contention . through the courts, and although de- feated JtX each turn, has now taken Its last stand In the United States supreme , court -, - It, Is estimated that It will reaulre nearly three years for the case to reach a decision in the high tribunal, and be cause of that fact largely the senti ment to annex Milwaukie Is. rapidly growing. The question will be sub 'mitted to the voters of the district as soon as possible, and from Indications the proposition will meet with favorable consideration. Out at Lents, also, there Is a growing annexation sentiment. The city limits now extends to Grays Crossing, which Is the limit of the 6-cent fare service It Is estimated that there are 10,000 peo ple living between Grays Crossing and . Lents Junction, and thejjytfave to pay an added I cents inear fare for the half mile they-' rldoutside- the city limits. . . There is more opposition to annex' tion In the Lenta district, however, than In MUwaukle. it is argued tnat the dls. trlct escapes the city tax by being just over the boundary, that it Is not now assessed for street improvements, that it has a fairly good water supply and that ; .the advantages of annexation t would would not compensate for the Increased civlo charges. There are a large number of people, however, who desire to .come within the boundaries of . the city, .and the indications are that they will submit the question to the voters at the next opportunity. . "JOY RIDE" DELIGHTFUL, BUT FINISH OH, MY! "A woman clad only In & raincoat, night dress and stockings started a commotion in . the Rex rooming house at Washington and Chapman streets early yesterday morning and Patrol man W. H. Royle was called in to evict her. The woman told the officer that she had been "joy riding" with two young men and that they had forcibly removed her clothes from her in the machine and then had left her on the Washington, Aug.' 29. In ordr that a comparison may be made between the population of various cities reported to date by the census bureau your corre spondent has prepared . the following table showing the cities whose popula tion has been given, in the order In which they come. Some of the figures reported are surprising and , have not yet been explained further than that it is known that In certain cases .what might be described as "ruses were em ployed to boom the statistics. .For ex ample, Jt Is saJd that Denver, on. the day, the population was to be taken, hired a lot of brass bands and gave a parade and had other festivities calcu lated to draw in the people from the surrounding country who might be counted as Inhabitants of 'the city. At Great Falls, Mont, the enumerators in cluded all the guests at the hotels dur ing the census period of 15 days and had men at the railroad stations to count everybody who alighted from the trains. , : ' : :: -; i - 1 ! It ig fair to assume, however, that in the, majority of cases the increases as reported "' are legitimate, due to the natural growth "of population or the' an nexation of sutroiindlng territory, - The population of the various cities for 1900 and 1910 and the. percentages of Increase during- the last 10 years as reported by the census office, to date, are as follows: rive Hundred Thousand and Over, City. - ' 1010.
