Greatest Increase in County
Population From 1900 to 1910
Populatioiyn Jackson coun
ty has increased between 10
8 per cent each decade since
1870 withQthe exception of
one Imyear period, figures
from the bureau of municipal
research and service, Uni
versity of Oregon, show.
A county census in 1860
showed a population of 3,736.
-Three years later, the popula-
tion was 4,778, an incffease of
27.9 per cent. During the?
-period of 1900-1910, Vie coun-
ty had its greatest growth,
from 13,698 to 25,756, an in
crease of 8 percent. But in
the next decade, 1910-1920,
the population decreased 20.8
per cent, from 25,756 to AO,
405. 22.6 Per Cent Incsfsf
- Between 1950, whenPthere
were 58,510 people living in
the countyPand 1957c when
there were an estimated 71,-
750, the population increased
22.6 per cent.
0 Jackson county was orgin
ally creatoy, from Umpqua
county in 1852. The next year,
in 1853, af) area of Jackson
county ws transferred to
Coos county. Jackson later
Q?xas divided, creating iose-
phine county in 1856, and
Lake county in 1875. Sections
oDthe county wfe transfer
red to Josephine county in
1880 and 1890, and in 1915
(andObetween Jackson nd
x)ougIas countQs were exchanged.
ThejjSreau pointed out that
figures of population duriM
the 1800 s should t useft
with some reservation and ar
doubtful reliability. This i
because early census reports
included data on area, lett
than counties, Such pre
cincts, townslge cities, or
other political unit or res
specially crgS fbe onsut
purposes.

That was Jacksonville where
there were 892 residents.
There apparently was a fed
eral census taken in Ashland
in . 1870, but no separate re
turn was forwarded in the
census report of the county.
Two more towns were ad
ded to the county's towns in
1880. They were Ashland with
842 residents, and Phoenix
with 277 people. Medford is
first listed in the census in
1880 having 967 residents. Al
so in 1890, Central Point was
first listed with 534 residents.
A federal census in 1900
included Gold Hill, which
then had 385 people, Jackson
ville, Ashland, Phoenix, Med
ford, Central Point, and Gold
Hill populations were listed
in following census, but it
wasn't until 1920 that other
county communities were list
ed. The census in 1920 added
four more towns to the coun
ty. They were Butte Falls,
166 people; Eagle Point, 128;
Talent, 278, and Rogue River,
211.
Cities in Jackson county
continued to grow each dec
ade except between 1910 and
1920. During that period, all
towns listed in the federal
census showed a decline in
population.
HORNBROOK
Fire Results From Storm
Br CATHERINE CHAPMAN
Hornbrook The three-day
rainfall last weekend caught
quite a few farmers with their
hay down. On thinking it
over, however, most of them
conceded that the benefit to
the second crop was greater
than the damage to the first
crop.
But, as the saying goes,
"One man's meat is another
man'f poison," and the same
rains that benefited some,
brought I threat of a shut
down to tht recently reopened
local mills.
Lightning that accompanied
th rein caused only one fire,
according to the forest serv
ice, and that was a small one
on the north fork of Ditch
creefc in the Cottonwood area
bid of Hornbrook.
The fire was reported on
Sunday, end, while the glow
from it could be seen by resi
dentt here Sunday evening,

remained on tht spot until the
