OREGON HAS 672,766.
Washington— Oregon has a popula­
tion o f 672,765, as shown by the 13th
census. The population ten years ago
was 413,536.
The increase the past
I ten years, therefore, has been 62.7 per
cent. The population in 1880 was
313,767. The increase in 20 years has
been 114 per cent.
The census bu­
reau’ s figures indicate that Oregon
will be entitled to another representa­
tive in congress two years hence,
even if the ratio o f representation is
increased, in accordance with custom.
The announcement of the population
o f Idaho, also made public, indicates
that that state also will gain one rep­
resentative.
The figures show that there are in
Multnomah county, outside o f Port­
land, 19,047 persons. The population
of the county is given as 226,261, the
population of Portland having been an­
nounced previously as 207,214.
The
whole county shows an increase of
123,094. The county has more than
doubled its population in the past ten
vears. It had a population o f only
4,150 in 1860, the first year in which
