At the time the count was being made The Guard constantly hammered the youthful enumerators on the bnck in an ef fort to got them to do their work thoroughly, but it now seems that the efforts were fruitless. The enu merators In northwestern and south western portions of the city and Fairmount seemed to be the most careless, and hundreds of people sent their names to the newspapers and Commercial club after the enumera tors in those districts had complet ed their work. Even when names were given the enumerators to look up. they either did not find them or did not try. It is snfe to say that Eugene at the time of the enumera tion contained 10,500 people and at the present time over 1 1,000. A Medford man visiting here, said today that if Medford has 8800. ac cording to the census figures, Eu gene easily has over 10,000. lie says he has been over both cities pretty thoroughly and is satisified thnt Eu gene has a third more residences and that manv more business houses than Medford. That city no doubt had enumerators who had the city's welfare at heart and who took a pride in doing their duty and get ting every name so that a good show ing would be made. Ten years ago the census gave Eu gene 3236. making a gain of 5773 in that time, according to the figures given out from Washington.
