As the directory compilations include
residents of Milwaukee and other sub
urbs not contained with the arbitrary
boundaries of the city, the estimate of
2Sl,000 covers the population of those
places, as well as Of the city proper.
Last year the directory publishers es-
innate for the population at large was
275,735.
Portland's population, according to
the official federal census of 1910, was
207214.
It is well understood that the growth
of Portland has been slow but steady
since the last census was taken. It's
greatest growth was in the five-year
period Immediately preceding the last
official census Many well-informed
business men believe that the next four
or five years wSll hitness another
steady and substantial growth.
