INCREASE OVER 1900 IS 392 PER CENT; GREATEST IN WEST BUT ONE CITY IN UNITED STATES GROWS FASTER Census Taken in May Is Now Out of Date Every Indication That City . Has Over 10,000 People Is Evi dentStrides Made By City. WASHINGTON, I). C, Dec. 1.- The population of Medlord, Or., was announced today by the census bu icau as 88 11), tin ineiense from 1701 in 1000, or 1102 per cent. THU per centage of growth is thu grouted made by any town in the United Slates., with thu exception of Okla homa City, Okla., which bhows a per cent iuciuubu of U08. Tim twelfth census gave Med fold a population of 1711 1 and thu elev enth DOT. In spite of thu fncl that Med io n IV growth in iioyulutioii is gioat' ur than that of any other city in the United States, Oklahoma City ex cepted, thu census figures arc in a way u -disappointment, owing to the delay in their announcement. In stead of having 88 10 inhabitant- Medford today lias between J 0,00(1' and 1 1.0Q0. The census was taken early in May, and since that time C city has continued to grow un-' checked! Ten thousand is u con servative estimate ami one that i homo out by the growth made in bank deposits, postal receipts and , other critorions of growth. Moilford's great percentage til growth has been accomplished with- j in the past three years. Thiee yeai ago thu population of thu city was (tetimutcd al 3000. In January, 1008, a city .census was taken and the total was given at .VJ00. Since thun thu growth has continued. And thuiu are no signs of its abatement. Thu great iuerease in the number of wajor-users in thu city, as told in another column, indicate that the population of thu city is rapidly growing. Another indication of this fuel U thu constant inoiuiieo in the number of telephones in uso. Then the postal receipts .and bank dopoVJ lit lustily to the same fact by thop iuciease from mouth to mouth. Thu fact that Mud to id has in ci eased in population moio rapidly than any other city in thu United Stales, barring one, i indicative of it.s future. Medford ami thu Koguo River valley have those things which attract population, and thu town is hoie to stay, for it has buou no "bmriii" growth which it lias made. An increase of 1102 pur cent in the next tun yaars would give Medford a population of ;I5,00U -and thai doesn't seem iiineiisonuhlo. 3-CENT FARE AGAIN ' TROUBLES CLEVELAND UNCLE SAM NOW AFTER ALLEGED ELECTRIC TRUST Wickcrsham Prepares.
