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.
