CITYS POPULATION
INCREASES RAPIDLY
Directory Canvassers Estimate
1000 New Citizens for
Tulsa Each Month.

Almost one thousand new citizens
a month has been the rate of popula-
tion increase for Tulsa during the
past year, according to the estimates
of canvassers now completing the
compilation of the 1917 edition of the
local city directory. Tulsa now mas.
enumerators in charge of the canvass
said yesterday, not only the $4,000
citizens Uncle Sans recent estimate
gave her credit for, but the directory
will show that the present population
includes at least 10000 persons.
Last years city directory issued by
the Polk-Hoffhine company, publish
ers of local directories for the pas,
nine years. gave Tulsa population OF
61,335. This was the showing made
in face of count of approximately
$4,000 population in the directory ior
the preceding year.
Tulsa apparently has gained, at a
conservative estimate 10000 new
citizens since we issued our last di-
rectory." n. r. Baton, superintendent
for the Polk-Hoffhine company said
last night This years canvas win
disclose right around seventy thou
sand inhabitants and denote a gam
unparalleled in the municipal devel-
opment of Oklahoma or the entire
southwest, population considered.
"A pleasing feature of the canvass
Ia the disclosure of so many perma-
nent residents now prospering in
Tulsa after giving the city a one year
try out Thousands of Tulsans in. for
mer years were here one year and
gone the next. Statistics now show
that a majority of those coming here
a year. ago still are dwelling in the
city, and contributing to the making
of a substantial city instead of the So
called oklahoma boom town. whose
proclivities Tulsa had several years
ago"
Final enumeration work Is under
way and it is expected to complete
the local canvass next week, and to
issue the new directory early this fall.

FINED FOR SELLING JAMAKE
A. ID. Smith Will Appeal His Case 10
a Higher Court, Hc Announces.

A.. d. Smith entered plea of not
guilty IN municipal court yesterday
afternoon to the charge of selling in
toxicating liquors. He appealed the
case and made $50 cash bond.
Information brought out by the
prosecution showed that Smith had
sold two bottles of Jamaica ginger.
They claimed the sale of such drug
was violation of the prohlbitory
law, owing to the amount of alcohol
1t contained. Smith admitted the
sale of the drug, but contended that
he had sold 1t in a strictly legitimate
manner such as he would dispose Of
any other medicines.
Judge Evans said he would be
glad to see the ruling a higher court
would make on the sale of said
Jamaica ginger. 1T appears that
the men who have become intoxi-
Gated on this drug are the most vio-
lent that the city officers come in
contact with" the Judge added.
