IDORD A 0 BY CENSUS Result is Disappointing as It Was Confidently Expected Ten Thou sand Would Be Shown Gain In Ten Years is 400 Per Cent, Nearly All of Which Is In Four Years. Medford peoplo aro disappointed. They expected tho census would show over 10,000, but according to tho United States census for 1910, Medford has an approxlmato popu lation of 8900 people. This Infor mation has been received from Salem and Is regarded approximate, al though tho government has not an nounced the result of tho recent count and will not until Septembor. In 1900 Medford had a population of 1791, so that In ten years the population has increased over 400 por cent. The comparison of the census in 1900 and 1910 does not show the vast strides Medford has been making of late. Flvo years ago the population of Medford was only about 2000, so that the great growth has beea made recently. In fact, the greatest strides have been made during the past two yars. In January, 1909, an unoffi cial census was taken which gave Medford 5300, so that In 17 months Medford has made a growth of 3600, or over 200 a month, so that Medford at tho present tlmo at this ratio baa over 9000 peoplo.
