Based on schol census figures just taken in Baker county, where the population of the county seat Is estimated at 9000, with those of school age fixed at 2200, he declar ed that there would be no doubt that the population of Bend would exceed 6000, the minimum tor a ci ty which is granted an Elks charter.
