COMPILED BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE. 1895. SALEM, OREGON: W. H. LEEDS, STATE PRINTER, 1896. PREFACE. Office of the Skcketary of State, 1 Salem, Oregon, February 26, 1896. J In compiling and publishing this pamphlet, I have deviated from the custom of my predecessors only in the extent of the compilation and the time and manner of its publication. The law requiring the census of the state of Oregon to be taken every ten years does not provide for compiling and pub- lishing the same. It requires that the reports of the several county assessors shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of State. These reports have in the past been received by the Sec- retary of State, who has filed them in the vaults of his office, and has published brief abstracts of the data contained in them in his next biennial report to the Legislative Assembly. The law does not direct him to compile or publish such, data, but he has deemed it his duty, and warranted by the law making him the custodian of the census, to compile and publish some data, in order to make the census of any value whatever, and his authority to do this has never been questioned. In like manner I have compiled this little pamphlet, which contains more data than has ever been published before, besides comparisons with the census of 1865, 1875, and 1885, and is printed almost a year earlier than the biennial report. Many of the counties incurred considerable extra expense in providing deputy assessors to take the census of 1895. Under these circumstances I deem it my duty, and warranted by the law requiring this census to be taken and filed in the office of the Secretary of State, to compile and cause to be printed this little pamphlet. The law requiring assessment and census returns to be filed with the Secretary of State is somewhat indefinite, and the Sec- retary of State found it necessary to write numerous letters to county clerks in order to get the assessment rolls of 1895 in time for the Board of Equalization, which, according to law, must meet ou the first Tuesday in December and must complete its work in thirty days. Similar action has been required concern- ing the census returns. The law provides that the census returns shall be forwarded by the several county clerks to the Secretary [4] of State "as soon as may be" after the census has been com- pleted. County clerks were requested by the Secretary of State to send in the census returns as soon as possible. When the Board of Equalization adjourned, January 2, 1896, there were twelve counties that had failed to send in their census returns. The clerks of these counties were notified a second time, and it was not until near the close of February that the rolls from the last county were received. Immediately after the receipt of the reports from all the counties the compilation of these tables was finished and the copy sent to the printer. H. R. KINCAID, Secretary of State. CHAPTER III OF THE MISCELLANEOUS LAWS OF OREGON. Act of October 24, 1864. § 2233. It shall be the duty of the assessors of the several counties of the state, at the time of assessing their respective counties for the year 1865, and every ten years thereafter, to take an enumeration of the inhabitants and industrial products of the same. § 2284. The enumeration roll shall be made out in the fol- lowing form: — 1. One column for legal voters; 2. One column for males of twenty-one and upwards; 3. One column for males under twenty-one and over ten; 4. One column for males under ten; 5. One column for females of eighteen and upwards; 6. One column for females under eighteen and over ten; 7. One column for females under ten; 8. One column for the number of acres under cultivation ; 9. One column for the number of bushels of wheat raised during the preceding year; JO. One column for the number of bushels of oats raised ; 11. One column for the number of bushels of barley and rye ; 12. One column for the number of tons of hay; 13. One column for the number of pounds of wool ; 14. One column for the number of ounces of gold dust; 15. One column for the number of bushels of corn ; 16. One column for the number of sheep; 17. One column for the number of hogs; 18. One column for the number of horses; 19. One column for the number of cattle; 20. One column for the number of pounds of tobacco; 21. One column for the number of bushels of potatoes; 22. One column for the number of bushels of apples; 23. One column for the number of feet of lumber; 24. One column for the number of barrels of salmon; 25. One column for the number of baskets of oysters; 26. One column for the number of mules; 27. One column for the number of pounds of cheese and butter. [6] § 2235. It shall be the duty of the assessors, as soon as their assessments are completed, to make return of the census rolls to the clerk of the county court^^ who shall make a copy of the same for deposit in his ofiBce, and shall transmit the original to the office of the secretary of state, as soon as may be, who shall place the same on file in his office. § 2236. The secretary shall, on or before the first day of May of each year in which the census is to be taken, transmit to the clerks of the several county courts in this state printed forms for the returns required by this chapter. § 2237. If any assessor wilfully refuses or neglects to perform any duty required of him by this chapter, he shall forfeit a sum not exceeding five hundred dollars, and if he is guilty of wilful deceit or falsehood in the discharge of his duty, he shall forfeit a sum not exceeding two thousand dollars. Any clerk who wil- fully refuses or neglects to perform the duty required of him by this chapter, shall forfeit not exceeding one thousand dollars. § 2238. It shall be the duty of assessors to enter upon the discharge of their duties on or before the tenth day of May of each year in which they are required to comply with the provis- ions of this act. NOTE. In accordance with the provisions of the foregoing act, the census was taken by the assessors of the several counties of Ore- gon in the year 1895, and duly certified original copies of the same were forwarded to the office of the secretary of state. From the data furnished by the returns from the several counties the following tables of statistics, showing the population and indus- trial products of Oregon for the year 1895, have been compiled. Tabular statement No. 1 shows population of the state by coun- ties, giving males and females separately each in three classes; also the number of legal voters in the state by counties. Tabular statement No. 2 shows miscellaneous products of the state, giving total amount of each class produced in each county and in the entire state. Tabular statement No. 3 shows by counties the total fruit, fish, minerals, and lumber produced in the state. Tabular statement No. 4 shows total amount of wool produced in each county and in the state; also total production of livestock by counties. Tabular statement No. 5 shows population of the state by counties at the time of the taking of each state census since the organization of the state. In order to obtain the data for the years 1865, 1875, and 1885 it was necessary to compile a portion of the original census report for those years as they appear on file in the office of the secretary of state.
