OREGON HAS 672,766.
Washington— Oregon has a popula

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
there is a record of the county’s peo
ple.
The figures of the bureau show that
Idaho, which is credited with a total
population of 325,598, as compared
with 161,272 in 1900, a gain of 101.9
per cent, has s greater increase in
the past ten years than any other state
in the Union thus far announced, ex
