SEATTLE LARGER
THAN PORTLAND
DIRECTOR DURAND GIVES
OUT OFFICIAL FIGURES
oregon Metropolis Has 2O7,214 and
Washington Metropolis Has 237,-
1914 According to Enumeration
Both Cities Padded Returns.

Washington, Nov. 2s.-The census
population of Portland, Ore- to be
2O7,314, which is gain of 116,7Ss, or
1922 per cent since 1900.
The present population Of Seattle,
Wash, was announced as 237,194,
showing an increase Of 1868, or
1914 per cent since 1900.
At the same time Director Durand
issued statements declaring that fla
grant padding had been attempted in
each of the two cities and that care
full rechecking and remuneration
had been necessary to reach results
with which he was satisfied.
In 1900 Portland was larger than
Seattle, the population of the two cit
les at that census having been: Port
land, 9o,426; Seattle, s0,671.
Durand charged that the original
Seattle enumeration this year was
padded to the extent of Hiss names,
which were stricken off. He alleges
that Portland was originally padded
by 15,745 names, which were elimi-
mated.
Director Durand declared that the
Portland enumeration was padded
through the efforts Of private organ
izations, which had caused slips to be
printed containing the census ques-
tions. filled them in with the names
of alleged persons claiming not to
have been counted, and turned them
over to the enumerators. Whenever
the enumerators conscientiously car
ried out their work, Durand said, few
Irregularities appeared, but he de-
clared that many enumerators simply
added the padded slips given to them
to their statements.

for the year ending July 1st, 1912,
contained in the annual report of

atons. Among them is $1,725, 900
for the Columbia river, and $500, 900
for Gray's Harbor.

Washington. Nov. 2S.-With the
opening of congress soon, politicians
and the people are evincing the usual
interest in the presidential message
Some say it will be full of surprises
With his legislative program half fin
ished the president finds himself with
a democratic congress. This session
will be his last chance with a repub-
lican congress in power, SO it is ex-
pected an attempt will be made to
rush through the most important leg
islation. To do this the full strength
of the administration will be necessary
and it is doubtful whether disgrunt-
led congressman, beaten in the last
election, will remain in line. 1t In
intimated some of them will revolt.
Politicians say Taft will ask for q
tariff revision.

BOYS STONE THE sTATUARY.
Figures Before Amiens' Cathedral
Damaged; Square Used for Playing.

DaHiaSeu, Square Oseu 1Or Fiay1ng.
Paris.-A recent visitor to Amiens
states that serious damage has been
done, apparently by throwing
to some Of the stone figures at the
sides of the front portals of the
cathedral. Two figures close to each
other on the left side of the left OF
the three front portals have been mu-
tilated.
1t appears that a number of boys
without any supervision, daily use
the square in front of the cathedral
and even its steps, as playground
and they are probably the authors of
the mischief. 1t would be real ca
lamity. 1t is declared, IL one Of the
noblest edifices in Christendom were
allowed to suffer irreparable damage
