The new city directory contains ao.-
e17 names. This indicates n popula-
ton OF 11I.o56 for the entire city. The
result II obtained by multiplying the
number Of names by 1.ss. which II the

names In the directory for 1900 and
the population as shown tha. year by
the United States census. II Is fair
to presume that the ratio which held
good in 1900. the census year. Will hold
good at the present time. This view
il justified. notwithstanding some OF
the census bureau officials in Wash
ington made an estimate a short time
ago to the effect that Denver had
population of only about $4,000. OF
course estimates made by census OF.
ficials in Washington are nothing more
than guesscs of practically no value
whatever. although they bear an on.
cial stamp. There can be no disputins
that 1.Ss was the ratio existing be-
tween the population and the number
of names in the directory in 1900. and
the burden OF proof is upon the critics
of Denver to show that conditions
have so changed that the ratio does
not hold good any longer Probably
the city did not grow so rapidly last
year as IL did in the year before. but
this was due in large measure to
the Industrial and commercial disturb
ances arising from labor strikes In
Cripple Creek. Telluride. Trinidad and
elsewhere. As soon as disputes and
conflicts Of that kind are over the
state will again become very prosper |
usls and Denver will grow with it
