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Census Taken in May Is Now Out of
Date Every Indication That City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.
