Hamilton, local man deer of the Portland EUway Light and Pdw-' er onipBBy- has -the figures to prove . that just at present, Salem has a pbpu lation of 17,000. These figures arc bas ed on a certain ratio between the school census and the number of hous es in the eity that ; are customers of the company. In 1910, the official cenwis gave Sa lem a population of 15,094. There was that voar 3917 names entered on the school census of all between the ages of four and 20 years. In later years, taking -into consideration the ratio be tween the-school census and the num ber of people taking electric service, M. Hamilton has figured out that as there was 2280 homes using electricity in 1918 and on the school census of 3972 for that year, the population was 14,70. - - But there are now 2748 users of elec tricity, according" to" the books of the Portland Railway, Light and Power company, and on this ration of 10.3 per cent, it is figured out that there are easily. 17,000 people within the cor porate limits. . In 1910 the school census was 3817 and the : official census of the city showed a population of 14,094. Taking it for granted that the ratio between the school census and the population. will remain the same, Mr. Hamilton has the following, figures of the census rroin year to year and the estimated population from .year to year. The first figure given is the year, the second figure' the. actual school census from year to year, aiva tue tftira column shows the estimated population of Salem: hear from anyone who has pictures ot-(- Tho Portland chamber of comnicrcu Mmrlv (i.r&swiMiii, also of the cumput Orcgon scenery which thoy are willing lias been in uorrespondoneo. with Hecro- in (Uipurtiuvut.
